GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ For a grounded, cord-connected range hood:
This range hood 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 range hood 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.
WARNING:
Improper grounding can result in a risk of
electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the range hood 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
range hood.
