Before you start...
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill
or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING”. These words mean:
DANGER
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

WARNING — To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device such as a tag to the service panel
CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
cooking flaming foods.
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
SMOTHER FLAMES with a closefitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may be burned.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels — a violent steam explosion will result. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
The fire is small and contained in the area where it is started.
The fire department is being called.
You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Electrical requirements
Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
It is the customer’s responsibility:
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition* or Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1 and C22.2 No. 113-M1984 (or latest edition),** and all local codes and ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure range hood is properly grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

YRH2330X series vent hoods can be used for vented installations only.
A.A 115-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, fused electrical supply is required. The total ampere load used, including the range hood, must not exceed 90% of the rated capacity of the circuit. The ampere rating of the range hood is located on the model/serial number rating plate located on the side cover of the blower motor housing.
B.The range hood must be connected with copper wire only.
C.The range hood should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable. A U.L./CSA-listed strain relief must be provided at each end of the power supply cable. Wire sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY) and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance as specified on the model/serial rating plate.
Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
70 — latest edition* or Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1 and C22.2 No. 113-M1984 (or latest edition),** and all local codes and ordinances.

Venting requirements
Venting system must terminate to the outside.
Do not terminate the vent in an attic or other enclosed space.
Do not use four-inch laundry-type wall caps.
Do not use plastic vent.
Vent system needed for installation is not included. Backdraft damper supplied with product must be used. If roof or wall cap has a damper, do not use damper supplied with hood. Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended.
Determine which outside venting method you need to use.
The length of the vent and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance. The size of the vent should be uniform. Do Not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system. Vent can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around exhaust hood. For the most efficient and quiet operation, it is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically through the roof using 7" (17.8 cm) round vent.
Figures 1-4 show common venting methods and what types of materials are needed.

Recommended vent length
Use 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) or 7" (17.8 cm) vent with a maximum length of 26 feet (7.9 m) for vent system. For best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows. To calculate the length of system you need, add the equivalent feet for each vent piece used in the system. See the following examples.
