Pre-Installation (continued)
WIRING CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
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.
OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES WARNINGS
- 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 .
- Failure to follow electrical requirements may result in a fire.
- 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 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 .
3 . Save installation instructions for electrical inspector's use .
4 . If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine if the
ground path is adequate .
5 . DO NOT use an extension cord or adapter plug with this
appliance .
6 . The range hood must be connected with copper wire only .
7 . The range hood should be connected directly to the junction (or
circuit breaker) box through flexible, armoured or nonmetallic
sheathed copper cable . Allow some slack in the cable so the
appliance can be moved if servicing is ever necessary .
8 . 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) .
9. 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 .
10. When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceilling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities .
11 . 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:
be properly grounded .
DANGER:
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:
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 electrical junction compartment door of the
range hood 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 flexible, 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 .
- Reinstall the electrical junction compartment door of the
range hood .
- 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 .
