b. Clean all grease-laden surfaces frequently. To reduce the risk of fire and to disperse
properly, make sure to vent air outside. DO NOT vent exhaust air into wall spacers, attics,
crawl spaces or garages.
NOTE
-
The 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

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, EVACULATE THE AREA AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT or 911.
2. NEVER PICK UP A BURNER PAN – You May Get Burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent 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 appliances.
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. Turning any switch on may cause ignition or an explosion.
5. Due to the size and weight of this hood, two people installation 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 amount of
mercury, which must be recycled or disposed of according to

SAFETY WARNING
• HOOD MAY HAVE SHARP EDGES, PLEASE WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES IF
REMOVING ANY PARTS FOR INSTALLING, CLEANING, OR SERVICING.
• BE CAREFUL WHEN USING ELECTRICAL SCREWDRIVER, DAMAGE TO THE
HOOD MAY OCCUR. USING HAND TOLLS IS RECOMMENDED. DO NOT TIGHTEN

INSERT 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 Requirements
4. The range hood has top 6” round exhaust (default).
5. Decided 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.
5
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.
Clearance
8. 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”.
9. 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 reduced
performance and efficiently.
Hood Installation
10. The hood has to be installed inside the cabinet. It is
recommended to install a front and rear stud support.
Refer to Figure 1. The stud supports are located 1-
1/2” from the rear and 2” from the front.
11. Determine and mark the centerlines on the base of
the hood frame where the insert will be installed.
12. Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall or
ceiling of the ductwork. Note: Install the duct work
before installing the hood.
13. Cut out the opening where the hood will be installed.
Refer to Figure 2.
14. Slide the hood to the opening.
15. Locate the screw holes (2) on each side of the hood.
Adjust the level of the hood casing support according
to the thickness of the base.
16. Secure the hood using the screw holes that are
located at the front and back of the unit (screw
provided). Refer to Figure 3.
17. Make sure the hood casing support is secure before
releasing.
Ductwork
18. Attached the rubber plate and 6” round exhaust vent
adapter to the exhaust opening and use 6 4*16
screws to secure it. Refer to Figure 4.
19. Connect the pipe to the vent adapter and seal the joint
with duct pipe. Make sure it is completely tight.

Electrical Wire
20. Connect the range hood to an outlet.
21. If hardwired is desired, cut off the plug and connect

MAINTENANCE
For optimal performance, 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 its fine appearance.
1. Use only mild soap or detergent solutions. Dry surfaces using soft cloth.
2. If hood looks smudged (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 to the hood. 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.
