Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
A. A 115-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, fused electrical supply is required. The total ampere load used, including the range hood, must not exceed 90% of the rated capacity of the circuit. The ampere rating of the range hood is located on the model/serial number rating plate located on the side cover of the blower motor housing.
B. The range hood must be connected with copper wire only.
C. The range hood can be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable. A U.L.-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 plate.
For power cord connected installations, a U.L.-listed range hood cord-connection kit MUST be used. Note: Some models come with a factory installed 3 ft. long power cord having a 3-prong ground plug.
