Decide the location of the venting pipe
from the hood to the outside. (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. Refer
to step 8 & 9 and figure 8 on page 6.
Important: Peel any protective film
off the hood.
Use duct tape to seal the joints between
pipe sections.
If necessary, prepare back wall frame
with cross framing lumber for secure
installation.
Refer to Table 1 and
measurements on Page 11 to decide
the level of the lumber. (Figure 2)
Loosen hood-mounting brackets at the
back of the hood, adjust brackets and
tighten screws as shown in Figure 3.
If necessary, remove the rubber stand
on the back of the hood and discard.

MAINTENANCE
For the optimal level of operation, 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 your KOBE Range Hood’s fine appearance.
1. Use only mild soap or detergent. Dry surface using a soft cloth.
2. If hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use an orange base cleaner to clean the surface of
the hood. Avoid getting cleaner on the control switches. Use a damp towel to get rid of any
cleaning solution. Use dry soft cloth to dry the hood.
3. To bring the glow back into a stainless steel finish, use a stainless steel cleaner.
4. DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
5. DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface
causing rust.
6. 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 cloth.
To Clean Baffle Filter
CAUTION: DRAIN OIL FROM BAFFLE FILTERS BEFORE OIL OVERFLOW.
1. Remove all the baffle filters.
2. Wash with warm soapy water. Dry completely before returning into place.
(Note: Baffle Filters are top rack dishwasher safe.)
To Replace Light Bulb
CAUTION: HALOGEN LIGHT UNIT MAY BE HOT!
1. Make sure all controls are OFF, and range hood is unplugged.
2. Place the flat-head screwdriver into the groove between the halogen light glass cover and light
housing.
3. Pop out the halogen light glass covering.
4. Gently pull out the defective light bulb and discard. Light bulbs should be 12V 20W maximum.
