WIRING CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a
qualied person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including re-rated construction.
OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES
WARNINGS
- Electrical grounding is required for this range hood. Check
with a qualied electrician if you are not sure whether the
range hood is properly grounded.
- Failure to follow electrical requirements may result in a re.
- A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit could result in
electrical shock.
- If the hot/cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic nonmetallic
gaskets or other materials, DO NOT use for grounding.
- DO NOT GROUND TO A GAS PIPE.
IMPORTANT: It is the customer’s responsibility to contact
a qualied electrical installer and assure that the electrical
installation is adequate and complies with the National
Electrical Code, or CSA standards, as well as all local codes
and ordinances.
1. Save installation instructions for electrical inspector’s
use.
2. If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualied electrician determine if the
ground path is adequate.
3. DO NOT use an extension cord or adapter plug with this
appliance.
4. The range hood must be connected with copper wire
only.
5. The range hood should be connected directly to
the junction (or circuit breaker) box through exible,
armoured or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable. Allow
some slack in the cable so the
appliance can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.
6. A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the
range hood and at
the junction box).
7. When making the electrical connection, cut a 3.2 cm (1-
1/4 in hole in the wall. A hole cut through wood must be
sanded until
smooth. A hole through metal must have a grommet.
8. When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceilling, do not
damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
9. Wire size must conform to all local codes and ordinances.
The latest edition requirements of the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA 70, or the latest edition CSA Standards
C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and C22.2
No. 0-M91.
DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. This range
hood must be properly grounded.
DANGER: Turn off the power circuit breaker or the
power switch on the junction box before installing this
unit. Touching circuitry inside the range hood while it
is energized will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER: All electrical wiring must be properly
installed, insulated, and grounded. Improper
insulation and grounding will result in deadly
electrical shock.
NOTE:
Temporarily wire the range hood to test it for proper operation.
If the range hood does not operate correctly, do not proceed
with the installation.
- Remove the bottom panel of the range hood (see Fig.
13) to access the electrical wire leads.
- Use the power supply cable to connect the range hood
(A) directly to the junction box or circuit breaker box.
Use a exible, armoured, or nonmetallic sheathed
copper cable only. Never use an extension cord or
adapter plug.
- Connect a UL-listed or CSA-approved conduit
connector to each end of the power supply cable (at
the range hood and at the junction box). Connect
the 2 colored wires from the range hood (A) to the
corresponding wires from the electrical source: black
to black (live), white to white (neutral), and the house
grounding wire to the green ground screw. Use either
the top hole (1) or the back hole (2) of the range hood
depending on your installation type as shown in Fig. 10.
- Turn the power on, and ensure that the lights and the
fan are operating correctly.
- Once you have tested the electrical connection,
disconnect the power supply cable and wires from the
electrical source before proceeding with the rest of the
installation.
