- PREPARING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION -

----SAFETY WARNING----

INTERIOR OF HOOD MAY HAVE VERY SHARP EDGES, PLEASE

WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES IF YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE

HOOD FOR CLEANING OR SERVICING.

NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD,

PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING THE

VENT OPENING.

Make sure the surface of the wall is clean and free of debris.

Providing Electrical Power Line Access (SHOULD BE DONE BYALICENSED

PROFESSIONAL)

1. If there is no electrical power line access opening, you will need to make an opening first

before you can proceed further. To make an electrical power access opening, mark an outline

for the opening on the cabinet bottom. Use a 1-1/4” wood bit to form the access opening.

(Fig. 1) CAUTION: Be careful when operating the electric drill.

(Electrical power access)

(Fig. 1)

----SAFETY WARNING----

IF DRILLING INTO THE WALLS, BE CAREFUL NOT TO CUT

EXISTING ELECTRICAL CABLES, WHICH WOULD CREATE A

HAZARD. ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE IN

ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR

NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR

WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL WIRING,

SECURE THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE

WITH ANY SOLID-STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE.

(Fig. 1a) (Fig. 1b) (Fig. 1c)

(Fig. 1d) (Fig. 1e)

- INSTALLING THE RANGE HOOD -

(Keep all packing materials for return or exchange)

Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper operation before installing.

Before installing, please peel protective film off the hood first, if any.

For Mounting on a Cabinet with a Flush Bottom

1) If you need to move the cooking range to work on the cabinet, turn off the power for an

electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING AGAS

RANGE.

2) To make an electrical line access opening, please refer to section Electrical Power Line

Access. Attach the template guide under the cabinet where the hood is to be installed making

sure the arrows on the template is pointing to the wall (Fig 1a). Measurements are provided

on patented installation template guide for those having difficulty using the template to

install on a recessed bottom cabinet.

3) Screw four 1” wood screws (for mounting the hood) into the exact center of the plastic

anchor marked on the template guide (Fig.1b). Make sure the head of the screw is

comfortably resting against plastic anchor. CAUTION: The plastic anchor is the exact

thicknesses of the top of the hood so do not over-tighten screws.

a) For top venting: (CH-178 Series) cut along the dotted line of the template leaving a

rectangle opening on the bottom of the cabinet. Tear out & dispose of the template. This

rectangle opening is required for 6”, 7” or 3 ¼” X 10” ducts. Remove temporary

plastic vent portion on the top of the hood. Replace with the actual vent cover that came

with the hood. Cut along the indented outline for the size of the duct opening that you

need. (Fig. 2) Fasten plastic vent piece with the raised surface facing outward back onto

the top of the hood. Follow step 4).

7” 6” (Fig. 2) Actual Vent Cover (included)

(Remove) Temporary vent cover

b) For rear venting: (CH-178 Series) unscrew the rectangular plastic vent portion at the

back of the hood. (Fig.4) Turn over the vent piece so that the flat surface is facing you.

Cut along the indented outline until there is a 3 ¼” X 10” opening. Fasten plastic vent

piece with the raised surface facing outward back onto the hood.

(Fig.4) (Fig.5) (Fig.6)

(Rear Venting)

5) Take the hood, place electrical power line through access opening (Fig. 1d), align the 4

mounting slots at the top of the hood to the 4 screws, hook the hood into place & slide toward

wall. The hood should snap backward into place (Fig.1e). CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE

HOOD IS SECURE BEFORE RELEASING.

6) Unfasten the safety screen screw just enough to allow the hooked end of the screen to slide

between the hood & the screw. Place the rectangular side of the safety screen into the open

slot just to the back of the recessed fan, then place the hook end against screw & tighten

screw. Do NOT over-tighten screw.

7) Slide each rectangular oil container into the oil container slots at the back of the safety

screen. (Fig.5)

8) Finally, place a round oil container with the three prongs into the larger holes in the specially

made openings in the center of the screen & turn clockwise until it snaps into place. Do the

same for the other round oil container. (Fig.6)

For Mounting on a Cabinet with a Recessed Bottom

1) If you need to move the cooking range to work on the cabinet, turn off the power for an

electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING AGAS

RANGE.

2) Measure the space (under the cabinet) between the inside front edge and inside back edge

(Fig. 3). With a saber saw, cut two wood filler strips (not included) to fill in the bottom of

the cabinet. Use 2-1/4” long wood screws (not included) to attach wood strips to the cabinet.

For metal cabinet, use 3/8” x 2-1/2” bolts and nuts to secure the strips to the cabinet. The

hood will be mounted on these filler strips. (For a more secure installation, you can also use

screws from inside the cabinet down into the wood filler strips.) Make sure the filler strips

do not cover the electrical power line access opening.

(Fig. 3)

3) Follow installation instructions from the section For Mounting on a Cabinet with a Flush

Bottom.

Installing the CH178 (42”)(48”) Hood

1) A minimum of 2 people should lift the CH 178 (42”) (48”) hood in installing under

cabinet to avoid injury and damage to the hood.

2) Proceed to the instructions from the section “For Mounting on a Cabinet with a flush

Bottom.”

For Venting the CH 178(48”) Hood

1) The CH7848 should be discharge upward to utilize the maximum power of the fan.

2) For vertical discharge, run ductwork between the hood locations to the roof cap.

For best result use a minimum number of transitions and elbows.

HOOD FOR CLEANING OR SERVICING.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS TURNED OFF BEFORE STARTING

THIS SECTION.

1) After turning off the electrical power at the main power source, push the electrical power line

through the access opening drilled earlier in the wall or bottom of the cabinet. There are three

different color wire strands to be connected. Strip solid wire 5/16” and strip stranded wire

3/8”.

2) Connect the power line ground wire to the grounding green lead supplied with the hood.

3) Make the electrical connections by fastening the black power wire to the black wire and the

white power wire to the white wire located in the electrical wiring compartment. Align any

frayed strands or conductors. Screw on conductors; push wires firmly into connectors when

starting. Stop when the bottom of the connector reaches conductor. Follow all codes.

4) Plug into electrical outlet. Turn on power and check operation of fans and light.

Congratulations, your KOBE range hood is ready to be used!

NOTE:

The recommended height from range hood

bottom to top of the cooking surface is 30”.

- OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS -

KOBE range hood motors can be operated independently of one another.

This KOBE range hood model is operated by two 2-speed switches located on the front of the

hood. Each switch controls a separate motor with high and low settings. (Fig. 4) The low

setting will handle most exhaust requirements while the high speed should be used for heavier

cooking.

The light switch is located to the right of the control switches. (Fig. 4) NOTE: Before replacing

light bulb, turn off range hood. See section on Changing the Light Bulb. DO NOT uses more

than 12V 20W halogen light (CH-178 Series).

If your range hood is equipped with the QuietMode™ feature, the LED indicator switch will be

located to the right of the light switch. When the QuietMode™ switch is turned on, the LED

indicator will be lit and both fans will change into QuietMode™ regardless whether one or both

fans were on. When QuietMode™ is switched off; the previous controls will take effect.

Remember to turn off control switches after you are finished.

The QuietMode™ feature offers continuous ventilation at a greatly reduced noise level.
