WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Installation and electrical wiring must be done by qualified professionals and in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
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.
   • Before servicing or cleaning unit, open the light panel and SWITCH POWER OFF AT SERVICE PANEL.
   • 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 spaces, attics, crawl spaces or garages.

NOTE

• This 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

• 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 violent steam blast will result.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
  • You have a Class A, B, C extinguisher and know how to operate it.
  • The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
  • The fire department has been called.
  • 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. 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.

Warning

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 INSTALLING, CLEANING, OR SERVICING.
• BE CAREFUL WHEN USING 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.

INSERT INSTALLATION

Before Installation

1. Read any provided document(s).

2. Test the range hood by temporarily connecting it to an outlet and turning the fan and lights ON.

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

4. This range hood has a top 6” Round exhaust (default).

5. Decide 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 efficiency.
   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 wood frame where the insert will be installed.

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

13. Cut out the opening where the insert will be installed. Refer to Figure 2. Refer to page 10.

14. Slide the hood to the opening.

15. Locate the screw holes (4) on each side of the insert. 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 (screws provided). Refer to Figure 3.

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

18. Attach the vent adapter to the exhaust opening using the 4 x 8 mm screws.

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

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

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

THIS RANGE HOOD MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. MAKE SURE THIS IS DONE BY A 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.

For optimal performance, clean the range hood surface and filters 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 soft cloth.
2. If hood looks smudged (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 directions of the stainless steel cleaner. Caution: Do not leave on too long as this may cause damage to hood finish. Use a soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rub off any stubborn sports. 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 to the hood. Wipe off cleaning solution using a soft towel moistened with water 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.
