WALL MOUNT 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.
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. Prepare back wall frame with cross framing lumber for
secure installation if necessary. Using references on
TABLE 2 and measurements on page XX to decide the
level of the lumber.
11. Mark the leveling point of the hood. Position two 4*35
screws on the wall, leaving 1/8” away from the wall as
shown in Figure 2.
12. Align hood-mounting bracket to the two screws on the wall
and hook the hood into place. Tighten screws to secure
hood to the wall.
Ductwork
13.
Put the two flappers on 6” round exhaust vent adapter.
NOTE: Striped side of the flapper is facing out.
14.
Attached the rubber plate to the bottom of 6” round
exhaust vent adapter then attached to the exhaust
opening and use six 4*16 screws to secure it.
15.
Use steel pipe to connect the 6” round exhaust on the
hood to the ductwork above. Use duct tape to make all
joints secure and air tight.
