ROCEDURES
Use standard switches that are rated 120 VAC, 15 A. Only use wires suitable for at least 90oC (194oF). Ensure the
wires are reliably routed away from the halogen lights (if present).
To suit 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.
120 VAC
POWER CABLE ENTERING THE HOOD
Install a 2-rocker switch at a convenient place for the
user. Use a 14/3 cable to wire it to the range hood
(see diagram at right).
NOTE: The code requires both ends of the WHITE
wire insulation to be colored; use a permanent
marker.
NOTE: Allow enough length of 14/3 cable to perform the RED wire
connection in the hood nose.
Insert the 14/3 cable along with the 14/2 house wiring cable in the
hood through an UL approved wire clamp, suitable for 2 cables.
Add a GROUND wire and connect one of its end to the GREEN
ground screw. Use an appropriate wire nut to connect the other
end of the added GROUND wire with the ground wire coming
from the 14/3 cable and the ground wire coming from 14/2 house
wiring cable.
Connect BLACK wire from house wiring to WHITE wire from
14/3 cable using an appropriate wire nut.
Connect BLACK wire from 14/3 cable to BLACK wire from range
hood wiring using an appropriate wire nut.
Connect WHITE wire from house wiring to WHITE wire range
hood wiring using an appropriate wire nut.
Run RED wire from 14/3 cable to top of right blower scroll. See
next page for RED wire connection.
120 VAC
POWER CABLE ENTERING THE SWITCH
Install a 2-rocker switch at a convenient place for the
user. Feed the switch box with 120 VAC house wiring
and use a 14/3 cable to wire it to the range hood (see
diagram at right).
NOTE: Allow enough length of 14/3 cable to perform the RED wire
connection in the hood nose.
Insert the 14/3 cable in the hood through an UL approved wire
clamp. Connect ground wire to the GREEN ground screw.
Connect WHITE wire from 14/3 cable to WHITE wire from range
hood wiring using an appropriate wire nut.
Connect BLACK wire from 14/3 cable to BLACK wire from range
hood wiring using an appropriate wire nut.
Run RED wire from 14/3 cable to top of right blower scroll. See next
page for RED wire connection.
