after installation of the range hood. See illustration:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• This range hood must be grounded. In the event of an electri-
cal 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.

Making the cutout to the bottom of the cabinet may be
easier to do prior to mounting the cabinet to the wall.
