GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be 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. This appliance is equipped with a

cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING - Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists 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.

1.Plan where the hood will be located above the cook top. Refer to the “INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKET” section for hood mounting height options.

2.Run 2-wire plus ground power cable to a standard 2” x 4” wall outlet box and 3- blade, 125 volt, 15 Amp grounded receptacle. Fig. 6.

3.Mount the receptacle 17” to 19” above the bottom of the hood.

4.Locate the box and the receptacle within boundary shown and off center of the ductwork (to allow for power cord plug and flue clearance).
