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 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.

NO T E - 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

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 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 Codes.

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 runs as possible. Transitions, elbows and/or long runs 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 and duct covers, if any.

•

Use duct tape to seal the joints between pipe sections.

Hood Installation

CAUTION:

USE HAND TOOLS ONLY. DO NOT

OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS. IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO

THE HOOD.

CAUTION

: If moving the cooking range is necessary to install the hood, turn off the power in an electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT

OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS RANGE.

And use a protective covering to protect cooktop

and/or countertop from damage.

1. Mark centerlines of cook top or range on ceiling.

Use centerlines marked on ceiling to position the range hood as shown in Figure 2.

2. Cut and remove ceiling drywall. Install 2” x 4” cross framing lumber (not provided) between ceiling joists.

3. The framing should be spaced 9-1/2” at the front centerline and 7-3/4” on the sides. Refer to Figure

3.

4. Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark the location of the ceiling joists and cross framing lumber.

5. Cut a 7-1/2” duct opening and approximately a 1” wire access hole. Secure four hood mounting screws (not provided) into the ceiling joint and cross framing lumber, leaving 1/8” away from the cabinet as shown on Figure 4. Make sure screws are driven into the ceiling at the middle of joists and cross framing lumber for maximum support and stability.

MAINTENANCE

For optimal performance, clean the range hood surface and baffles 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 splotchy (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 soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rub off any stubborn spots.

Use 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. Rinse with water after exposure 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.

1. Remove all the baffle filters, spacers and oil tunnel.
