Any  repair carried out without the supervision of KOBE RANGE HOODS’ authorized agents will automatically void the warranty.
KOBE RANGE HOODS will not be held responsible for any damages to personal property or real estate or any bodily injuries whether caused directly or indirectly by the range hood.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1. Keep all fan, baffle/spacer/filter/oil tunnel/oil container and grease-laden surfaces clean. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, baffle/spacer/filter/oil tunnel/oil container.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking.
3. Use high settings on cooking range ONLY when necessary.
4. Do not leave cooking range unattended when cooking.
5. Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for the type and amount of food prepared.
6. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
7. Before servicing, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel (if possible) to prevent power from switching on accidentally.
8. Clean ventilating fan frequently.

What to Do In The Event Of a Range Top Grease Fire

• SMOTHER FLAMES with a tight fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, and then turn off the burner.
  KEEP FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AWAY FROM FLAMES. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE THE AREA AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT or 911.

• NEVER PICK UP A BURNING PAN – You May Get Burned.

• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a steam blast will result.

• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
  a) You have a Class A, B, C extinguisher and know how to operate it.
  b) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
  c) The fire department has been called.
  d) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

What to Do If You Smell Gas

• Extinguish any open flame.
• Do not try to turn on the lights or any type of appliance.
• Open all doors and windows to disperse the gas. If you still smell gas, call the Gas Company and Fire Department right away.

CAUTION

1. For general ventilation use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
2. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) to prevent back drafting.
3. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and  code authorities.
4. Activating any switch on may cause ignition or an explosion.

SAFETY WARNING
HOOD MAY HAVE VERY SHARP EDGES; PLEASE WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES IF REMOVING ANY PARTS FOR INSTALLING, CLEANING OR SERVICING.
NOTE: BE CAREFUL WHEN USING ELECTRICAL SCREWDRIVER, DAMAGE TO THE HOOD MAY OCCUR.

Preparation Before Installation
NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD, PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING THE VENT OPENING.

• Decide the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the outside. Refer to Figure 1.
• A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to perform more efficiently.
• Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and long run as possible. This may reduce the performance of the hood.
• Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper operation before installing.
• Important: Peel protective film off the hood, if any.
• Use duct tape to seal joints between pipe sections.
  CAUTION: If moving the cooking range is necessary to install the hood, turn off the power in an electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS RANGE. And use a protective covering to protect cooktop and/or countertop from damage.

Custom Hood Preparation

1. The custom hood frame must be designed based on the shape and the weight of the hood. Refer to Measurements and Diagrams of hood on Page 11-13.

2. A sturdy base (3/4 inch thick plywood recommended) is needed to sustain the weight of hood.

3. It is recommended to install front & rear stud support (not included). Refer to Figure 2. For safety purposes, extra installation holes on the side of the hood are provided. Prepare the side stud support if needed.

4. Determine and mark the centerlines on the base of the wood frame where the hood will be installed.

5. Determine the proper location for the Power Supply Cable. Make a wiring access hole using a drill bit. Install the wire cable and seal the gap around hole.

6. Cut out the opening where the hood will be installed. (Refer to Figure 3 for appropriate dimensions based on width of hood.)
   NOTE: Please add additional 1/8” for the rivets.
   Wiring to Power Supply
   CAUTION: If moving the cooking range is necessary to install the hood, turn off the power in an electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS RANGE. RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
   THIS RANGE HOOD MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. MAKE SURE THIS IS DONE BY QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. BEFORE CONNECTING WIRES, SWITCH  POWER OFF AT SERVICE PANEL AND LOCK SERVICE PANEL TO PREVENT POWER FROM BEING SWITCHED ON ACCIDENTALLY.

7. Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper operation before installing. If the hood does not operate, check the circuit breaker or house fuse. If the hood is still not working, disconnect power supply and check the continuity of all wire connections.

8. If hood is operating normally, connect three wires (black, white and green) to house wires and cap with wire connectors.
   

9. Store wires in the wiring box.
   NOTE: Range hood should have its own dedicated circuit outlet. If sharing with other appliances, the range hood may turn off itself due to mutual interference from other appliances.
   Duct Work Installation

10. Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall or ceiling for the ductwork. Note: Install the ductwork before installing the hood.

11. Use steel 8” round pipe to connect the ductwork above to the exhaust of the hood. The hood is preinstalled with a rectangular to 8” round transition (Refer to Figure 4). Use duct tape to make all joints secure and air tight.

12. Please refer to local codes for the usage of a damper (not included).
    Hood Installation
    NOTE: USE HAND TOOLS ONLY. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS. IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HOOD.
