Wiring Connection
Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
• Electrical grounding is required for this range hood. Check with a qualified electrician if you are
not sure whether the range hood is properly grounded. A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit
could result in electrical shock.
• Failure to follow electrical requirements may result in a fire.
• 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.
NOTE: It is the customer's responsibility to contact a qualified 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.
• Save installation instructions for electrical inspector's use.
• If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified e
lectrician
determine if the ground path is adequate.
• DO NOT use an extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance.
• The range hood must be connected with copper wire only.
• The range hood should be connected directly to the junction (or circuit breaker) box through
flexible, armored, or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable. Allow some slack in the cable so the
appliance can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.
• A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power
supply cable (at the range hood a
nd at the junction box).
• 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.
• 1O. When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
NOTE: Temporarily wire t
it for proper operation. If the range hood
does not operate correctly, do not
proceed with the installation.
he range hood to test
1. Use the power supply cable to connect the range hood
(A) directly to the junction box or circuit
breaker box. Use a flexible, armored, or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable only. Never use an
extension cord or adapter plug.
2. 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
ground screw. Use either the top hole (
1) or the
back hole (2) of the range hood depending on your
installation type.
3. Turn the power on and ensure that the lights and
the fan are operating correctly.
4. 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.
DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. This range
hood must be properly grounded.
