9. WIRING INSTALLATION
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 any 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, in accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Turn off electrical power at service entrance
before wiring.
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.
Position the outlet within the space covered by the decorative flue. Place the outlet at a
maximum distance of 24" (from where the cord exits from the hood). The center of the outlet
must be positioned at 3½" from the center of the future hood location (as illustrated beside).
Make sure this does not interfere with a mounting bracket fastening area or with the decorative
flue (where the flue touches the wall).
10. INSTALL HOOD MOUNTING BRACKET
When cutting or drilling into wall, do not damage electrical wiring
and other hidden utilities.
Construct wood wall framing that is even with the surface of the wall studs.
Make sure to assemble wood wall framing to wall studs for a solid installation.
Make sure the height of the framing will allow the mounting bracket to be secured
to the framing within the dimensions shown (see illustration at right).
After wall surface is finished, carefully center and level the hood mounting bracket
over installation location. Secure it to wall framing using 3 no. 8 x 1½" screws.
Using a level, draw a vertical line up to the ceiling starting from the mounting
bracket center.
