Pre-Installation (continued)
WIRING CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction.
OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES WARNINGS
- Electrical grounding is required for this range hood . Check
with a qualified electrician if you are not sure whether the
range hood is properly grounded .
- Failure to follow electrical requirements may result in a fire.
- A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit could result in
electrical shock .
- If the hot/cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic
nonmetallic gaskets or other materials, DO NOT use for
grounding .
- DO NOT GROUND TO A GAS PIPE .
IMPORTANT: It is the customer's responsibility to contact a qualified
electrical installer and assure that the electrical installation is
adequate and complies with the National Electrical Code, or CSA
standards, as well as all local codes and ordinances .
1 . Save installation instructions for electrical inspector's use .
2 . If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine if the
ground path is adequate .
3 . DO NOT use an extension cord or adapter plug with this
appliance .
4 . The range hood must be connected with copper wire only .
5 . The range hood should be connected directly to the junction
(or circuit breaker) box through flexible, armoured or
nonmetallic sheathed copper cable . Allow some slack in the
cable so the
appliance can be moved if servicing is ever necessary .
6 . A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the range
hood and at
the junction box).
7 . When making the electrical connection, cut a 3.2 cm (1-1/4 in.
hole in the wall . A hole cut through wood must be sanded until
smooth . A hole through metal must have a grommet .
8 . When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceilling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities .
9. Wire size must conform to all local codes and ordinances .
The latest edition requirements of the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70, or the latest edition CSA Standards C22.1-94,
Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91.
Risk of electrical shock . This range hood
DANGER:
must be properly grounded .
DANGER: Turn off the power circuit breaker or the
power switch on the junction box before installing this
unit . Touching circuitry inside the range hood while it is
energized will result in death or serious injury .
DANGER: All electrical wiring must be properly installed,
insulated, and grounded . Improper insulation and grounding
will result in deadly electrical shock .
NOTE:
Temporarily wire the range hood to test it for proper operation. If
the range hood does not operate correctly, do not proceed with the
installation.
- Use the power supply cable to connect the range hood
(A) directly to the junction box or circuit breaker box. Use
a flexible, armoured, or nonmetallic sheathed copper
cable only. Never use an extension cord or adapter plug.
- Connect a UL-listed or CSA-approved conduit connector
to each end of the power supply cable (at the range hood
and at the junction box). Connect the three colored wires
(3) from the range hood (A) to the corresponding wires
(4) from the electrical source: black to black (live), white
to white (neutral), and green/yellow to green/yellow
(ground) . Use either the top hole (1) or the back hole (2)
of the range hood depending on your installation type .
- Turn the power on, and ensure that the lights and the fan
are operating correctly .
- Once you have tested the electrical connection,
disconnect the power supply cable and wires from the
electrical source before proceeding with the rest of the
installation .
