The typical microwave range hood has a cord and plug coming off the top,
right side of the unit. It's designed to go through a hole in the upper
cabinet and plugged into an outlet. The typical standard range hood will
have two knockouts for a cable to be connected to it, one on top, right
side, and one at the back, right of center. Unlike the microwave, these
units have a junction box for the connection. You can remove the outlet and
install the cable feeding the outlet into whichever knockout is more
convenient, then attach the white and black wires to the unit's white and
black wires. There is usually a green screw in the junction box to attach
the ground wire.

I am replacing the microwave/range hood with a new ranghood(no
microwave).
The existing wiring in the cabinet above the stove is a two socket
outlet, and the wiring for the range hood are two loose wires.
What is needed to wire this properly?
Any help would be much appreciated.
