ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND
INSTALLATION WARNING
THIS RANGE HOOD MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. TURN OFF ELECTRICAL POWER AT SERVICE ENTRANCE BEFORE WIRING. CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ELECTRIC CORD IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE SHARP EDGES OF THE APPLIANCE.
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 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.

• This appliance must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and 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.
