If you're building your kitchen from scratch, wiring is easier because of the location choices of hikes in the wall. Otherwise, if you're like me, and replacing your hood unit, I would have liked for the company to note whether it was bare wire or plugged. The reason being, if there's something wrong after install, and you need to send it back for replacement, they might refuse if you have cut the plug off. That said: If you're not comfortable with bare wiring/electricity, get a handyman to do this for you. I'm not an electrician, but don't mind dabbling. It's actually extremely easy to do. Here are the steps: 1. I made sure to plug it in and test the fan modes and lighting before snipping the three prong plug off. 2. Turn off the breaker to the oven hood in your electrical switch box. DO NOT SKIP THIS PART OR YOU CAN DIE. 3. Now that you're safe to work, cut the three prong plug off of the power cable. Take a razor and slice the black shielding. About 2 inches long. This will expose 3 separate wires. They will be black, white and green. 4. The BLACK wire is the "HOT" or "live" wire. Green is ground and white is neutral, which takes any unused electricity back to the circuit box. These colors will match up to the wires coming out of your wall. Basically, strip each wire so you have about an inch worth of copper, twist said copper so that it is all taught and not frayed. Then match the like colors and wrap the copper wire you just twisted, around the thick bare wire from the wall. 5. Put electrical tape around the wound wires, but not too much. About 3 wrap arounds. Put a wire cap on the joined and taped wires and twist the cap on until it is snug. Repeat for the other two. 6. Put excess power cable back in the wall. Done. Pretty much. Mine is ductless, and I chose to use the top screw holes rather than the back facing ones because I didn't want to drill into my tile. My previous unit was screwed to the top, so I knew that the same screws were just the right size. If you do want to drill into tile, make sure to have the proper drill bit type. Probably carbide. (Masonry) I did have my wife hold the unit up for me until I was able to get 2 screws in to where I marked the holes with a pencil and drilled a pilot hole, and highly advise you also get someone to give you a hand as well. Just a PITA otherwise. Works great. Lights are bright, fan isn't crazy loud and looks great. I would maybe take half a star off for the fact that there's no information about the wiring, but I'm not even sure if that's fair considering it's not necessarily in terms of product usage, useful. As far as usage goes five stars so far.

I love this range hood! has a great light and fan, and is thin so doesn't take up a lot of room. would definitely buy again

It came on time and was easy to install. The only problem is one of the aluminum filters has a dent in it. I tried yesterday for over an hour to try and contact someone about this issue with no luck? None of the link's work and when I tried to call the support line it doesn't work either. I've left messages where I could but still haven't had a response? If I don't hear sometime by next week, I'll remove it, send it back and order a new one.

Like everything about this hood! Love the fit with the lesser height profile, just what I wanted. Lighting is so much better than my previous hood. Installation was super easy. Good air suction, although a little loud on high speed but the old one didn't have this option so this might be normal.

Love the slim style and it doesn’t block our beautiful tile design. Looks great and functions beautifully! Light is just right, not too bright or too low. Fan is great. Just what we had been looking for.

We installed one in our primary home and a second one in our summer condo. Really like the clean lines, easy access to the buttons(and speeds) and the lighting.

Put in a 2nd kitchen ease to install, good looking and serious great pricing

After removing the old vent hood and throwing it away, I opened the box to the new one and there are no instructions. Also, it has a plug! The old one is hard wired. Nowhere is this noted online. Its also missing parts. Now I have to box it up and return it and have no exhaust fan.
