- PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION -
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR PERSONAL
INJURY, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

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 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 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

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 THEAREAAND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT or 911.
• NEVER PICK UPA BURNING PAN – You May Get Burned.
• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a steam blast will result.
• 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
- 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) 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.
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

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. (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. If the hood does not
operate, check the circuit breaker or house
fuse. If the hood is still not working,
disconnect power supply and check the
continuity of all wire connections.
- Peel protective film off the hood (if any).
- Use duct tape to seal joints between pipe sections.
- For installing under the cabinet with recessed
bottom, attach 4-inch wide wood filler strips (not
included) on each side. (Figure 2)
- Using reference on Page 24 to measure and
create access opening for electrical wires and
exhaust under the cabinet.

CAUTION: USE HAND TOOLS ONLY. DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS. IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO
THE HOOD.

screws are already pre-attached to hood.
2. For 6” Round vent installation only:

3. For Top 3-1/4” x 10” vent installation only:
