Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads. 2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of copper wire using special connectors and/or tools designed and UL Listed for joining copper to aluminum. Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices. ■■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance as specified on the model/serial/rating plate.

Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent. 1. Disconnect power. WARNING To wire through top: 1. Mark a line distance "A" from the right of the centerline on the underside of the cabinet. For 12" (30.5 cm) deep cabinets, mark the point on this line that is 2" (5.1 cm) from the back wall. For 15" (38.1 cm) deep cabinets, mark the point on this line that is 5" (12.7 cm) from the back wall. Drill a 1¼" (3.2 cm) diameter hole through the cabinet at this point.
