WARNING
Plug into a 3-prong grounded outlet.
Do not remove the ground connecting.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, a
fire or electric shock.
IMPORTANT
:
The hood must be properly grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances or, in the absence of
such codes, with the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 No. 0-M91 (latest edition).
If codes permit and if using a separate ground conductor, it is recommended that a qualified electrician checks the quality
of the connection to the ground.
•
A circuit of 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 amps, protected by a fuse, is required. We also recommend
using a fuse or time delay circuit breaker. It is recommended to connect the hood to a separate circuit for
this unit.
•
This hood is equipped with a three-prong ground connecting power cord.
•
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, you must plug the cord into a corresponding configuration of electrical
current, a 3-prong grounded outlet that is installed according to local codes and regulations. If an outlet is
not available, the customer has the responsibility and obligation to have it installed by a qualified
electrician.
•
The 3-prong, grounded outlet must be installed in the cabinet situated above the hood, at a maximum
distance of 29 1/2’’ (75 cm) from the point that the plug leaves the hood. The 3-prong, grounded outlet
must be accessible once the hood is installed. See illustration below.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROUNDING
For a hood that is connected by a cord: This hood must be grounded. If a short circuit occurs, the ground connection
reduces the risk of electric shock, allowing the current to escape directly to the ground. The hood is equipped with a
cord having a connecting line to the ground with a connecting plug to the ground. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper grounding may cause electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood or if you have doubts concerning the quality of the grounding installation of the outlet
and the hood. Do not use an extension cord. If the power cord is too short, have a qualitied electrician install a properly
grounded outlet near the hood.
