ADA HIGH VOLTAGE WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SINGLE BLOWER RANGE HOODS WITH

ROCKER SWITCH CONTROL

! WARNING

For residential (domestic) installation only. Before proceeding, switch power off at service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards. Also, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.

ACCESS TO RANGE HOOD CONTROL PANEL CONNECTIONS

NOTE: The illustrations in this procedure are generic; some hood details may slightly differ from the hood you have on hand but the procedure itself applies to all single blower range hoods listed in this document (see page 3).

Remove filters from the hood and set them aside. NOTE: Some models have only one filter.

Remove the wiring cover (shaded part on illustration below) retaining screw. Slide out the wiring cover from the hood and set it aside with its screw.

Using a 11/32'' socket, remove the 6 nuts retaining the blower chamber to the hood assembly (2 nuts on inner back and 2 other nuts per sides), then use a Phillips no. 2 screwdriver to remove both front corner screws. See picture below for nuts and screws locations. Pull out the blower chamber from the hood assembly and set it aside with its retaining screws and nuts.

CAUTION

Use standard switches that are rated 120 VCA, 15 A. Only use wires suitable for at least 90oC (194oF). Ensure the wires are reliably routed away from the halogen lights (if present).

According to your needs, there are 2 ways to wire a 2-rocker switch control to these range hoods: 120 VAC power cable entering the range hood or 120 VAC power cable entering the switch box.
