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

UNDER CABINET INSTALLATION
Before Installation
1. Read any provided document(s).
2. Test the range hood by temporarily connecting it to an outlet and turning ON the fan and lights.
3. If you run into any problems, contact KOBE Range Hoods.
Venting Options and Requirements
4. The range hood has 3 exhaust options: Top 6” Round, Top
3-1/4” x 10” Rectangular, and Rear 3-1/4” x 10”
Rectangular. The range hood is factory set for vertical or
horizontal venting using round or rectangular vent adapter.
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.
8. For Top 6” Round vent installation: The 6” Round vent is
already attached. (Refer to Figure 1)
9. For Top 3-1/4” x 10” Rectangular vent installation only:
Remove attached 6” Round vent and discard. Keep seven
screws to install the rectangular vent. Align and secure
Top Vent Cover with RectangularOpeningwith one screw.
Then align and secure 3-1/4” x 10” Rectangular with two
screws. (Refer to Figure 2)
10. For Rear 3-1/4” x 10” Rectangular vent installation only:
Remove attached 6” Round vent and discard. Keep seven
screws to install the rectangular vent. Align and secure
Top Vent Cover with seven screws to block the top
exhaust (Figure 3). Remove the duct knockout from back
of the hood. Keep the screws and discard the duct
knockout. Then align and secure 3-1/4” x 10” Rectangular
with two screws (Figure 4).
Clearance
11. 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”.
12. 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 reduce
performance and efficiently.
*Note: 6” Round Vent Exhaust is pre-installed
on the range hood.

Hood Installation
13. Remove any protective film off the hood, if any.
14. For installing under the cabinet with recessed bottom,
attach 4-inch wide wood filler strips (not included) on each
side (Figure 5).
15. Create access opening for electrical plug or wires and
hood exhaust under the cabinet.
16. Align the hood in the center of the cabinet. As an optional
step, you may position a flat-surfaced object below the
hood as a support. Alternatively, another person can
temporarily hold the hood.
17. There are 4 installing holes on top of the hood. Attached
four 4*35 screws through the installing holes from the
bottom to the top. The best way is to do this in a diagonal
pattern: front left screw first then back right screw or vice
versa. Make sure all the screws are tightened and the
hood is secured before releasing hold/support.
18. Optional step: There areadditional 4 installing holes at the
back of the hood. Attached four 4*35 screws through the
installing holes from the front to the back. The best way is
to do this in a diagonal pattern. Make sure all the screws
are tightened and the hood is secured before releasing
hold/support.
Ductwork
19. Once the hood is attached to the cabinet, connect the pipe
onto the hood exhaust and secure the joint with duct tape.
Make sure that 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 connections (not provided). Connect the wires according to color (ex.
black to black).
Finish
22. Before using, make sure that any accessories such as filters are properly installed where
applicable.
23. Test the range hood to see if it is working properly.
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.
