A U.L.-listed strain relief must be provided at each end of the power supply cable. Wire sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY) and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance as specified on the model/serial rating plate.

For power cord connected installations, a U.L.-listed range hood cord-connection kit MUST be used. Note: Some models come with a factory installed 3 ft. long power cord having a 3-prong ground plug.
