IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION -
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.
a) Before servicing or cleaning unit, open the light panel and SWITCH POWER OFF AT
SERVICE PANEL.
b) Clean fan, baffles/filters and 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 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 fan, baffle/filter, if any, and grease-laden surfaces clean.
2) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat.
3) Use high settings on cooking range ONLY when necessary. Heat the oil slowly on low to
medium setting.
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 fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan and
baffles.

What to Do In The Event Of a Range Top Grease Fire
SMOTHER FLAMES with a close 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:

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

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 venting 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).
For installing under the cabinet with
recessed bottom, attach 4-inch wide
wood filler strips (not included) on
each side. Refer to Figure 2.
Measure and create access opening
for electrical wires and plastic exhaust
under the cabinet.
Hood Installation

range to install the hood, turn off the
power on an electric range at the main
electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS
BEFORE MOVING A GAS RANGE.
1. Puncture the knockout holes on the
