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 o 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
su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 connec­tion.

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.

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.

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 a 6” round duct outlet for the models
with 1 motor, and 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.

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.

Duct Run Calculation
The maximum duct run before eecting
the performance of the hood is 100’. Cal­culate your duct run by measuring linear
feet and adding the elbows, transitions
and caps based on the table alongside.

DUCTING

(Not applicable if the range hood is used
in recirculing model)

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).

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.

ELECTRICAL

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.

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.

g. 2

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.

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. 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).

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.

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”).

Only for SU54

Before to install the hood is necessary to fix the air outlet two
motors (Fig.a).

7

Before installing the hood is necessary to
x the tow motor air outlet union with the
screws that are in the accessory bag.

Then open the upper cover of the power
box

and x the box to the just-t union with
two screws.

Only for SU202 – SU207

Fit items “C” before hanging the range
hood – refer to gure 5 for positioning

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 bracket -the range hood must
clip in behind the extended lip on the
Support Bracket (“S”).

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

g. 5

Chimney Installation.

Locate the bracket (item Y) and posi­tion it with the vertical axis (marked on
the wall earlier) running through the mi­dpoint of bracket “Y”. This bracket ts
onto the ceiling and onto the wall to se­cure the upper half of the decorative chi­mney in place. Mark the wall for the two
anchors and mark the ceiling for the two
anchors as indicated in Figure 2,

Fix bracket “Y - Fig.2” to the wall and
ceiling.

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

g. 7

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 2 for the required location
of the electrical supply.

CAUTION: Make sure the power is turned
o 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.

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

Figure 9 shows venting directly through
the wall. Venting up and through the cei­ling to the exte-rior is also possible (refer
to Fig 10).

g. 10

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

Connecting Chimneys

Remove the protective covering from the
decorative chimney and carefully slide
the sections together. Do not remove
the tape strips from inside the chimney
as this protects the telescoping chim­ney-piece from scratching. Holding the
two chimney sections together careful­ly position them over the ductwork and
wiring. Position the upper chimney so
that it can be xed via the holes on the
side of the ‘Y” bracket on the ceiling (re­fer to Figure 11).

The carbon lter (supplied separately)
that absorbs odors is installed behind
the aluminium grease lter (refer to Fig

14).

Connecting the Screen (SU 202 Only).

Before attaching the screen the power
unit wipe the face of the ange to en­sure there is no grit present – if there is
this will most denitely crack the glass.
The plastic washers must be positioned
between the screw head and the glass. Fit
the screen – please have some-one hold
this in place whilst another person puts in
the screws. Using FINGERS ONLY, tighten
the screws evenly until nger tight. Do
not under any circumstances use a screw
driver.

Re-Circulating Requirements.

If the unit is to be used in the re-cir­culating mode, t the carbon lter af­ter the installation is complete (refer to
Figure 12) t the deector (refer Figure

13) with the screws supplied to the up­per telescope chimney. There are holes
in the back upper edge of the decora­tive chimney for this purpose. A short
length of ducting is connected between
the exhaust outlet on the fan and the
deector to direct the air back into the
kitchen through the vents at the top of
the upper decorative chimney.
