3. Ducted fans must be vented to the outside.
   a) Before servicing or cleaning the 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 air properly, make sure to vent air outside. DO NOT vent exhaust air into wall spaces, attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

NOTE

• This warranty is void without an authorized agent’s receipt or if the 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 the fan, baffle/spacer/filter/oil tunnel/oil container.
2. Always turn the hood ON when cooking.
3. Use high settings on the cooking range ONLY when necessary.
4. Do not leave the 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 the service panel and lock the 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 BURNING PAN – You May Get Burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a 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 appliance.
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 guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFLA), and the American Society for Heating,

4. Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and code authorities.

5. Activating any switch on may cause ignition or an explosion.

6. Due to the size and weight of this hood, an installation by 2 persons is recommended.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD – Can result in serious injury or death. Disconnect appliance from electric power before servicing. If equipped, the fluorescent light bulb contains small amounts of mercury, which must be recycled or disposed of according to Local, State, and Federal Codes.

SAFETY WARNING

• HOOD MAY HAVE SHARP EDGES; PLEASE WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES IF REMOVING ANY PARTS FOR INSTALLATION, CLEANING, OR SERVICING.
• BE CAREFUL WHEN USING AN ELECTRICAL SCREWDRIVER, DAMAGE TO THE HOOD MAY OCCUR. USING HAND TOOLS IS RECOMMENDED. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS.
• MAKE SURE TO PREVENT ANY DEBRIS FROM ENTERING THE VENT OPENING TO AVOID DAMAGE OR MALFUNCTION.

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 the 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 RANGE MOVING A GAS RANGE. And use a protective covering to protect the cooktop and/or countertop from damage.

Customer Hood Preparation

1. The custom hood frame must be designed according to the shape and the weight of the insert. Refer to Measurements & Diagrams on Page 11.
2. A sturdy base (3/4-inch think plywood recommended) is needed to sustain the weight of the insert.
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 insert are provided. Prepare the side stud support if needed.
4. Determine and mark the centerlines on the base of the hood the frame where the insert 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 the hole.
6. Cut out the opening where the insert will be installed. (Figure 3)

Hood Preparation Before Installation
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.

MAINTENANCE

For optimal performance, clean the range hood surface and baffles regularly.
To Clean Hood Surface
CAUTION: NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, PADS, OR CLOTHS.

***Regular care will help preserve its fine appearance.

1. Use only mild soap or detergent solutions. Dry surfaces using a soft cloth.
2. If the hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface of the hood. Avoid getting cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow the directions of the stainless steel cleaner. Caution: Do not leave on too long as this may cause damage to the hood finish. Use a soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rub off any stubborn spots. Use a dry soft towel to dry the hood.
3. DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood.
4. DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface and cause rusting.
5. DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals, which may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean lint-free cloth.

For Baffle Filter models only: to Clean Baffle Filter / Oil Tunnel
CAUTION: DRAIN OIL FROM BAFFLE FILTERS, SPACERS & OIL TUNNEL REGULARLY TO PREVENT OVERFLOW.

1. Remove all the baffle filters, spacers, and oil tunnels. Note: Not all models have spacers and oil tunnels.
2. Using a sponge, wash with warm soapy water. Dry completely before returning into place. CAUTION: SHARP EDGES (NOTE : Baffle Filters are top-rack dishwasher safe)
