Connecting the Electrical Power
wARNINGS:
1. Ensure that the power
is disconnected before
proceeding.
2. Verify that power supply
matches the rating found on
the hoods data plate before
proceeding.
3. The hood must be properly
grounded at all times before
power is applied.
4. Do not ground the hood with
the neutral (white) house
supply wire. A separate wire
must be utilized.
5. If aluminum house supply
wiring is used, splice the
hoods copper wires to the
aluminum house wiring with
special connectors designed
and agency-certified for this
purpose. Follow the connector
manufacturer’s recommended
procedure carefully. Improper
connection can result in a fire
hazard.
6. Failure to complete electrical
connections properly may
result in a damaged or a non-
functional system. Follow the
wiring diagrams carefully to
ensure a proper installation.
Model EhDR series hoods only:
1. Install the remote or in-line blower (see
page 4 for specifications) according to
the blower installation instructions.
2. Route the wiring from the in-line or
remote blower into the hood through
one of the electrical access holes in
the hood. Connect them to the remote
blower (ILB8/REMP3) connection
terminal as shown below. Match wire
colors.
wARNINGS:
A minimum of two people are
required to safely lift the hood.
1. Remove the filters from the hood canopy
and remove the shields below the power
ventilator.
2. The hood comes pre-wired from the
factory. Route the supplied cable
through the electrical access hole that
will be used for the installation location.
3. Mount a 2 X 4 ledger board to support
the hood temporarily in the mounting
location, 30” (762mm) above the
finished countertop.
4. While lifting the hood onto the top of the
ledger board, route the wiring harness
from the hood to the power supply
connection point.
3. Secure the hood through the keyhole
slots in the top of the hood and/or the
slot hole in the rear of the hood.
4. Remove the temporary support ledger.
