POWER SUPPLY

IMPORTANT – (Please read carefully)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE 
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before 
beginning installation.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with 
this appliance. Follow National Electrical Codes or 
prevailing local codes and ordinances.

Electrical supply

These vent hoods must be supplied with 120V, 
60Hz, and connected to an individual, properly 
grounded branch circuit, and protected by a 15 or 20 
amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
If the electrical supply does not meet the above 
requirements, call a licensed electrician before 
proceeding.
Route house wiring as close to the installation 
location as possible in the ceiling or wall. 
Connect the wiring to the house wiring in 
accordance with local codes.

Grounding instructions

The grounding conductor must be connected to 
a ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an 
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.

 The improper connection of the 

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk 
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician 
or service representative if you are in doubt whether 
the appliance is properly grounded.

PREPARE HOUSE ELECTRICAL 
WIRING

The custom cabinet must allow spacing for house 
wiring to reach junction box located in diagram 
below. If unit is installed over an island, the wiring 
must come from ceiling. If power cord is needed, 
accessory is available.

PREPARE THE HOOD FOR 
INSTALLATION

NOTE:

 For transportation purposes the motor 

assembly is secured by 2 brackets. They must be 
removed prior to installation and discarded.

Place insert hood canopy on padded, yet stable, 
surface below cutout (can use flattened carton to 
pad surface).
Remove the junction 
box cover. The junction 
box  is located inside 
the top left side of the 
hood.
Save the junction 
box cover and 
screws. They will be 
needed at installation.
Remove the 12 screws from the brackets 
over the motor assembly to remove the brackets.

The junction box is 

located in this area 

inside the hood.
