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.

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

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.
