Connect the white wire from the range hood to the
white wire from the supply, and the black wire from
the range hood to the black wire of the supply. Connect
the ground wire from the home (green or bare) to the
ground wire (green) from the hood. Use approved

Finishing the Installation
1. Install the proper lighting for your specific unit:
Halogen Lamps: Use PAR16, 45W maximum lamps (available separately). Install
by inserting lamp into socket and turning clockwise until lamp is firmly seated. DO
NOT over tighten.
2. If the included removable grease trough is not already installed within the hood, insert
into the rear inside channel of the hood. Make sure the taller side of the trough is facing
towards the back of the hood (Figure 9).

3. Install the baffle filters by inserting the top of the filter into the top channel of the hood,
then slide the bottom of the filter into the bottom channel. The filters have a top and a
