IMPORTANT:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
It is the customer’s responsibility:
• To contact a qualified electrical installer.
• To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
A 120-Volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, fused electrical supply is required on a separate 15-amp circuit, fused on both sides
of the line.
DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure that the range hood is properly grounded.
DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
IMPORTANT:
Save this Installation Guide for electrical inspector’s use.
The range hood must be connected with copper wire/plug only.
The range hood should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible
armoured or non-metallic sheathed copper cable. Listed strain relief must be provided at
each end of the power supply cable.
Wire sizes (copper wire only) and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance as specified on
the model/serial rating label. Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code
listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the range hood and at
the junction box).
