WARNING

Thank you for purchasing a Sirius Range Hood.

Please read all the instructions in this manual before

installing the appliance.

Save these instructions for future reference.

Only use this appliance as an exhaust ventilation system for the removal of coo­king vapors. DO NOT use to expel ammable substances or any other materials
or vapors.

The installation procedures in this manual are intended for qualied installers, ser­vice technicians or persons with similar qualied background.
DO NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself.

Ensure that electrical power is turned off at source before commencing installation.
All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated and grounded and conform
to all applicable codes and standards.

Make sure all existing duct work is clean of grease build up, or duct work should be
replaced, if necessary, to avoid the possibility of a grease re. Check all joints on
ductwork to ensure proper connection and all joints should be properly taped. Be
careful when cutting through ceilings or walls not to damage any hidden pipes or
electrical wiring. Ensure your kitchen has sufcient air return vents to replace the
exhausted air.

Fan ducts should always be vented to the outside of your home and never into
spaces within walls, ceilings, lofts or attics. Only use rigid, smooth steel for ducting.
The exhaust point of the blower requires a 6” round or 8” connection.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The manufacturer declines all responsibility
in the event of failure to observe the instruc­tions given here for installation, maintenan­ce and suitable operation of the product. The
manufacturer further declines all responsibi­lity for injury due to negligence and the war­ranty of the unit automatically expires due
to improper maintenance and/or installation.

DUCTING

(Not applicable if the range hood is used in
re-circulating mode).

WARNING: Do not vent this appliance into
any other ductwork, spaces between walls,
ceilings, attics, garages or any other con­ned space.

External Venting Requirements.

When planning new ductwork, always look
for the most direct route to the outside. Ven­ting can be done through the roof or directly
through the back outside wall. (See Figure

1). Recommanded 18” from the top of the
hood to the rst elbow.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN: It is advisable to
test run the range hood before installa­tion.

BEFORE STARTING – please read this
entire document and ensure you are fully
conversant with the require-ments and li­mitations. These units weigh approximately
125lbs and therefore require a minimum of
two people to install.

Only use rigid type metal ducting (plastic
ducting is generally not permit-ted by code).
Flexible ducting could restrict airow by up
to 50%. Always fasten connections with she­et metal screws and tape all joints with certi­ed Silver Tape or Duct Tape.

Do not use screws to fasten ductwork to
the hood, only use tape as the screws will

stop the dampers from opening and your
hood will not work. This hood requires 8’’ for
the models with 2 motors. You can increase
the duct size of the duct run but never de­crease it.

Use the shortest and most direct route pos­sible. Always, wherever reduce the number
of transitions and turns with as few sharp
angles as possible.

g. 1

4

Two staggered 45 degree angles are better
than one 90 degree. Make these turns as far
away from the motor exhaust as possible,
with as much space between each bend as
possible.

* Gas range or gas cook top recommanded
8”.

The ducting connection to the hood must
be in line with the central vertical axis of the
range hood 1” away from the back wall on
which the hood is to be mounted. The 1” is
important to enable the ceiling bracket (as
shown in Figure 2) to pass behind the duct­work servicing the range hood.

g. 2

ELECTRICAL

Range hoods may interrupt the proper ow of
combustion gases from replaces, gas furna­ces and gas water heaters.

To minimize the risk of drawing these lethal
gases back into the home, please follow the
heating equipment manufacturers safety
standards and guidelines carefully.

Refer to NFPA and ASHRAE for additional
information.

WARNING: All electrical work must be
performed by a qualied electrician.

Please ensure that the appropriate electrical
codes or prevailing local building codes and
ordinances are adhered to.

Ensure that the electricity supply is discon­nected at source. Do not use an extension
cord or adapter plug with this appliance.

This appliance must be grounded. Connect
to a properly grounded branch circuit, pro­tected by a 15 amp circuit breaker.

Electrical Supply.

This range hood requires a 120V, 60Hz sup­ply and draws a maximum of 3 amps. The
electrical supply to the range hood should be
at least 17” from the underside of the instal­led range hood.

For a typical installation, where the undersi­de of the range hood will be 30” above the
counter top and the counter top is 36” above
the oor level, the electrical supply should be
76” above oor level and no further than 3” to
the right (as you face the wall) of the central
axis of the range hood.

INSTALLATION

Positioning the Range Hood.

Determine the center point of the range hood.
This is generally the center of the range. Make
a mark on the wall a minimum of 25” above
the top of an electric range. If the range is gas,
the ideal minimum should be 30”.Using a spirit
level, draw a perfectly vertical line, starting at
the center mark, right up to the ceiling or the
highest point to where the hood will extend.
This is the central axis for the range hood.
Draw a horizontal line fractionally above whe­re the bottom of the range hood will be positio­ned. This is the underside of the range hood.

Marking the Fixing Holes for the Range
Hood.

Find the marking template provided called
the “Assembly Scheme”. Place the template
against the wall. Align the horizontal line on
the wall with the horizontal line on the tem­plate (indicated by two heavy arrows). Now
align the vertical line on the wall with the
“Central Axis” line on the template.

Using a sharp object, mark the wall through
the template at the center point of the three
holes. Lower down on the template, you will
see three sets of two holes. Only two of these
holes refer to your model. Check which mo­del you have and, using a sharp object, mark
the two correct holes. These holes are used
to anchor the range hood horizontally from in­side the hood once it has been hung from the
main bracket. Remove the template.

Fixing the Main Support Bracket
(CAUTION: Do not drill through any utili­ties inside the wall).

If the range hood will be xed to drywall we
strongly recommend that you discard the wall
plugs and screws supplied. These anchors are
only suitable for brick/masonry applications. We
suggest the use of a more appropriate anchor
system specically designed for drywall applica­tions. Wherever possible, it is advisable to place
blocking between the studs, behind the drywall,
to attach the support bracket to, (refer to Figure 4).

g. 3

Gently tape the template to the wall making
sure it has no creases or folds (use a tape
that will not damage the wall nish). There
are three hole positions shown for the wall
bracket.

g. 4

Drill the appropriate size holes at the marks
made earlier and x the Support Bracket (“S”)
securely to the wall. Ensure that any wall an­chors have been tted into the lower two ho­les, as the range hood will cover these holes
once hung on the Support Bracket (“S”).

Hanging the Range Hood.

Prepare the range hood for installation.
Remove all lters to ensure they do not get
damaged during the installation process.
Hang the range hood on the bracket “S” (re­fer to Figure 6).

g. 6

The bracket xed onto the back of the range
hood will drop into the channel on the top
of bracket “S” on the wall. Ensure the hood
is securely engaged into the support brackt
the range hood must clip in behind the ex­tended lip on the Support Bracket (“S”).

These screws are also used to make minor
adjustments to the levelling of the range
hood. Ensure the hood is level. Locate the
two holes “C” inside the housing of the ran­ge hood and secure the range hood to the
wall once the range hood is perfectly level
and vertical. (refer to Figure 3).

Connecting Electricity and Ducting.

Please refer to the Electrical Supply section
on page 5 for the required location of the
electrical supply.

CAUTION: Make sure the power is turned
off at source. Make electrical connections
(refer to Figure 8).

Ensure that the plastic aps at the exhaust
outlet for the fan move freely and have not
become jammed or stuck.

“Lock” the range hood onto the “S” bracket
using the four machine screws supplied (re­fer to Figure 7).

Connect the appropriate length of ducting to
the fan exhaust point and join up with the
ducting to the exte-rior.

Do not x the ducting to the range hood
exhaust outlet with screws-use duct
tape. Use duct tape on all joints.

Figure 9 shows venting directly through the
wall. Venting up and through the ceiling to
the exte-rior is also possible racommended
to have 18” from the top of the hood to the
rst elbow.

g. 9

The air outlet of the product is oriented up­wards: in the case that one prefers the air
outlet towards the rear side of the appliance,
it is only necessary to replace the air release
piece with the other one supplied with the
appliance.
