Range Hood Safety; Installation Instructions - Whirlpool UXT5536AAW0 Installation Instructions And Use & Care Manual

To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet,
grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a
mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
The grounded 3 prong outlet is to be located inside the
cabinet above the range hood at a maximum distance of
337A6" (85.0 cm) from where the power cord exits the hood.
See illustration.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• For a grounded, cord-connected range hood:
This range hood must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This range hood is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug.The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING:
Improper grounding can result in a risk of
electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the range hood is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the
range hood.
