ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND
INSTALLATION WARNING
THIS RANGE HOOD MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. TURN OFF ELECTRICAL POWER AT SERVICE ENTRANCE
BEFORE WIRING. CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ELECTRIC CORD IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE SHARP
EDGES OF THE APPLIANCE.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
IF THE GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD OR IF THERE IS DOUBT AS TO
WHETHER THE APPLIANCE IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. IF THE POWER
SUPPLY CORD IS TOO SHORT, HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN INSTALL AN OUTLET NEAR THE APPLIANCE.
•
This appliance must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current.
•
Position the outlet offset so that the power cord will not interfere with the duct.
ADVANCED PREPARATION
•
Decide on the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the outside.
•
A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to perform more efficiently. Try to avoid as many
transitions, elbows and long runs as possible.
This may reduce the hood’s
performance.
•
Use duct tape to seal joints between pipe sections.
•
For installing under the cabinet with recessed bottom, attach
4’’
wide wood filler strips (not
provided) on each side. See Figure 1.
•
Using references in measurements and installation diagrams (see pages 21 and 22), create access
opening for electrical wires and hood exhaust under the cabinet.
CAUTION: If moving the cooking range to install the hood, turn OFF the power at the main electrical box.
SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS RANGE.
•
Puncture the knockout holes (for mounting under the cabinet) on the hood as shown in Figure 2.
•
If necessary, attach two rubber stands with adhesive tapes to the back corners of the hood.
Three or more persons are required to move and install
this range hood. Spinal or other bodily injuries may occur
if these instructions are not followed.
Risk of severe injury
Rotating fan can cause severe injury.
Stay clear of fan when motor is running
