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 .
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 qualified 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 flexible, 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 .

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 wile 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.
- 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
three colored wires (3) from the range hood (A) to the
corresponding wires (4) from the electrical source:
black to black (live), white to white (neutral), and
green/yellow to green/yellow (ground) . Use either the
top hole (1) or the back hole (2) of the range hood
depending on your installation type .
- 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 .
