2. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, be careful not to damage electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.
3. Ducted fans must be vented to the outside.
   a. Before servicing or cleaning unit, open the light panel and SWITCH POWER OFF AT SERVICE PANEL.
   b. Clean all grease-laden surfaces frequently. To reduce the risk of fire and to disperse properly, make sure to vent air outside. DO NOT vent exhaust air into wall spacers, attics, crawl spaces or garages.

NOTE

• The warranty is invalid without an authorized agent’s receipt or if unit is damaged due to misuse, poor installation, improper use, mistreatment, negligence or any other circumstances beyond the control of KOBE RANGE HOODS authorized agents. 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

1. 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.
2. NEVER PICK UP A BURNER PAN – You May Get Burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam blast will result.
4. 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

1. Extinguish any open flame.
2. Do not try to turn on the lights or any type of appliances.
3. 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. Turning any switch on may cause ignition or an explosion.
5. Due to the size and weight of this hood, two people installation is recommended.

3. If you run into any problems, contact KOBE Range Hoods.
   Venting Requirements

4. The range hood has top 6” round exhaust (default).

5. Decided the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the outside. A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to perform more efficiently. Try to avoid elbows, transitions, and long run as much as possible as this may reduce the performance of the hood. Make sure that the duct work leads to the outside.

6. It is recommended to use metal / aluminum duct/pipe with a uniform size (ex. 6” round pipe from range hood to the outside).

7. If an elbow is necessary, a minimum of 12” straight run is necessary before the elbow.
   Clearance

8. Clearance is the distance between the cooktop and the bottom of the range hood. The recommended minimum clearance for this model is 26” and the maximum clearance is 30”.

9. It is important to install the hood at the recommended clearance. Installing too low could result in damage and/or fire hazard while installing too high may result in reduced performance and efficiently.
   Hood Installation

10. The hood has to be installed inside the cabinet. It is recommended to install a front and rear stud support. Refer to Figure 1. The stud supports are located 1- 1/2” from the rear and 2” from the front.

11. Determine and mark the centerlines on the base of the hood frame where the insert will be installed.

12. Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall or ceiling of the ductwork. Note: Install the duct work before installing the hood.

13. Cut out the opening where the hood will be installed. Refer to Figure 2.

14. Slide the hood to the opening.

15. Locate the screw holes (2) on each side of the hood. Adjust the level of the hood casing support according to the thickness of the base.

16. Secure the hood using the screw holes that are located at the front and back of the unit (screw provided). Refer to Figure 3.

17. Make sure the hood casing support is secure before releasing.
    Ductwork

18. Attached the rubber plate and 6” round exhaust vent adapter to the exhaust opening and use 6 4*16 screws to secure it. Refer to Figure 4.

19. Connect the pipe to the vent adapter and seal the joint with duct pipe. Make sure it is completely tight.

Electrical Wire

20. Connect the range hood to an outlet.

21. If hardwired is desired, cut off the plug and connect three wires (black, white, green) to the outlet wires and cap with wire connectors. Connect the wires according to color (ex. black to black).
    Finish

22. Remove any protective film from the hood, if any.

23. Before using, make sure that any accessories such as baffle filters are properly installed when applicable.

24. Test the range hood to see if it is working properly.
