Electrical Connection Inside Range Hood Between In-line
Blower System and Range Hood
1. With the range hood mounted (see the "Install Range Hood"
section), locate the wiring cable connector inside the range
hood.
2. Connect the 6-wire connector assembly supplied with the
in-line blower motor system to the mating cable connector
from the range hood.
3. Locate the terminal box inside the range hood and install a
¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) UL listed or CSA approved strain relief (see
"Complete Preparation" in the "Prepare Location" section).
4. Run the wire ends from the 6-wire connector assembly
through the ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) strain relief, leaving enough wire
length to make the wiring connections. Tighten the strain
relief screws.
5. Connect the wires from the 6-wire connector assembly to the
wires from the wiring conduit inside the range hood terminal
box.
6. Connect the same color wires to each other (black to black,
white to white, etc.) using UL listed wire connectors.
NOTE: Connect the green (or green/yellow) ground wire from
the wiring conduit to the green (or bare) ground wire from the
home power supply using UL listed wire connectors (see the
"Make Electrical Power Supply Connection to Range Hood"
section).
