Connect the white wire from the range hood to
the white wire from the supply, and the black wire
from the range hood to the black wire of the supply.
Connect the ground wire from the home (green or
bare) to the ground wire (green) from the hood. Use
approved methods for all connections
(Figure 7).
2. Replace the wire compartment cover and tighten
screws. Make sure all wiring is securely contained
within the wire compartment. If the quick connect
wire connector was removed from the receptacle,
replace. The connector will only fit one way into
the receptacle
(Figure 6).

Installing the Blower
1. Refer to the instructions included with the specific blower you have chosen for

SECTION 7
Finishing the Installation
1. Install the proper lighting for your specific unit:
Halogen Lamps:
Use PAR16, 45W maximum lamps. Install by inserting lamp into
socket and turning clockwise until lamp is firmly seated. DO NOT over tighten.
2. If the included removable grease trough is not already installed within the hood,
insert into the rear inside channel of the hood. Make sure the taller side of the
trough is facing towards the back of the hood
(Figure 8).
3. Install the baffle filters by inserting the top of the filter into the top channel of the
hood, then slide the bottom of the filter into the bottom channel. The filters have a
top and a bottom. The bottom of the filter will have small drain holes. These holes
must be facing down towards the grease trough to be effective
(Figure 9).
