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.
