I bought an Allure III range hood from Broan.
I am assembling and intalling a new Ikea Kitchen and want to install this range hood at the same time.
I will not use the exhaust option of this rangehood.
My question is:
We’ve created a hole and ran electicity so that we can connect the range hood.
Now I am planning to screw the range hood to the bottom of the 18 by 30 cabinet.
If I do this it would be quite cumbersome to connect the wires from the hole - with those inside the hood.
More importantly how do I close the hole so that the only thing coming out would be the wire. I have to leave a little room 1/2 inch on both sides of the wire to be able to maneuver the range hood along with the cabinet so that I could align it with the stove. But I would like to close that half inch so that there is no hole in the wall, even though it would be completely covered by the hood.
Thank you

Add a box. Get a switch or outlet box designed for blind additions, cut the hole to match. secure the NM wire in the box and put the box in the hole and secure it.
