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 flammable substances or any
other materials or vapors.
The installation procedures in this manual are intended for qualified
installers, service technicians or persons with similar qualified
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 fire.
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 sufficient 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 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.
MINIMUM AND MAXIMUMS
DUCTING
Min length of power unit structure with deflector connected = 36.6”
Min length of power unit without deflector = 32”
Max length of power unit structure = 48”
Recommended height from cook top to underside of hood = 30” for gas
25” for electric
If vented externally, 6” / 150mm
round ducting must be available for
the hood through the ceiling, in line
with the central vertical axis of the
range hood.
This unit must have it’’s own
ductwork. Do not under any
circumstances vent this unit into any
other ductwork or exhaust ducting in
the building.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DUCT
OUTLET ON THE TOP OF THE
POWER UNIT IS OFF SET FROM
CENTRE AND THEREFORE AN
ADJUSTABLE 6” ROUND BEND
WILL BE REQUIRED TO LINE THE
EXHAUST OUTLET WITH THE 6”
HOLE IN THE CEILING MOUNT
BRACKET.
Use the shortest most direct
ductwork route possible. Only use
metal ducting - plastic ducting is
generally not permitted by code. Do
not use flexible metal ducting as the
ridges of the ducting cause severe
air turbulence and will significantly
reduce the efficiency of any hood -
THIS TYPE OF DUCTING WILL
REDUCE EFFICIENCY BY 50%.
Vent hoods may interrupt the proper
flow of exhaust gases from fire-
places, 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. Refer to
NFPA and ASHRAE for additional
information.
Duct Run Calculation
The maximum duct run before
effecting the performance of the
hood is 100’. Calculate your duct run
by measuring linear feet and adding
the elbows, transitions and caps
Maximum Run
6” or 3 1/4 x 10” duct 100 FT
Deduct
Each 90 elbow used 15FT
Each 45 elbow used 9FT
Each 6” or 3 1/4 x 10” duct

ELECTRICAL
WARNING: All electrical work must
be performed by a qualified
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 appliance requires 120V/60Hz,
3amp electrical supply – ensure an
appropriately qualified person
completes the electrical hook-up.
The connection point for the
electrical supply is at the top of the
unit, therefore the electrical supply
must be run down from the ceiling
alongside the ductwork.
All electrical and venting hook-ups
must be in place before commencing
installation of the hood-fan.
based on the table below.
an area of at least 12”x12” between
the ceiling joists using 2x4’s. Allow
for a hole through the center of this
blocking of at least 6” in diameter
through which to pass the ductwork
and electrical cable.
The underside of the hood must not
be closer than 30” from the cook-top
INSTALLATION
Structural Preparation for the
Hood Fan Installation
The island hood weighs approxi-
mately 125 lbs. It is therefore im-
perative that a substantial structure
is prepared in the ceiling to attach
the range hood to. Ideally block off
2

3
and ideally not higher than 32”above
the cook-top. It is strongly
recommended, at this point, that
calculations and measurements be
made and all planning and heights
be finalized. You will need to fit the
appropriate length of ducting to the
hood fan before installing it to the
ceiling.
Planning should consist of a test
assembly of the power unit and tele-
scoping structure before attempting
to mount everything to the ceiling.
By following this test assembly you
will be able to finalize the correct
length of the assembly before
mounting it to the ceiling.
Test assembly should include
actually attaching the following items
together – refer schematic of
components and “Fixing the main
support brackets” below – Brack-
ets A, B, C, power unit and deflector
if re-circulating.
This is also a good time to test the
electrical functioning of the hood
before it is installed. Before
switching on the light or lights,
ensure the tape holding the globes
in place has been removed. The
globes gets extremely hot and will
very quickly burn the tape and
discolor the globes irreparably.
Do not switch on the lights with the
hood flat on any surface as the in-
tense heat will burn the surface and
destroy the lamps. Connect a power
supply to the unit and test all func-
tions.
Installation of the island hood
consists of fixing the ceiling Bracket
Asubstantial members in the
ceiling. The bracket must be fixed to
the frame by screwing through the
ceiling into the heavy members
inside the ceiling. This is critically
important as the entire hood fan
hangs from this position, and
ceiling board alone will not
support the weight of the hood
fan. Discard the plastic wall plugs
supplied for fixing the bracket to the
ceiling – these are not appropriate
for North American structures.
Fixing the Main Support
Brackets
If the range hood will be fixed 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
specifically designed for drywall
Using Bracket “A” as a template
mark the ceiling where the fixing
screws “A” will be positioned –
remember the correct orientation
from above. Attach bracket “A” to
the ceiling permanently. If
re-circulating, attach the deflector to
Bracket “A” before fixing it to the
ceiling – refer schematic on page 5.
The 2 brackets for the support of the
chimney (Part A) is to be installed to
Bracket A with the screws (C
Figure.1) Fix the structure on the
ceiling by inserting the 2 dowels

Fix Bracket “C” to the power unit
with the nuts and washers supplied
(Items “A” on the schematic on page
5). Please ensure that the bracket is
installed as shown to enable full ac-
cess to the square plastic black box
and the metal electrical junction box.
Slide Bracket “B” over Bracket “C”
(once again ensure full access to the
plastic and electrical boxes is main-
tained) and fix it in place, at the
previously calculated length using
the machine screws denoted by
items “B” on the schematic on page
5.
Check that the plastic flaps at the
exhaust outlet for the fan move
freely and have not become jammed
during shipping or whilst working
with the power unit. Connect an
appropriate length of ducting to the
unit.
Figure 2
Attaching the Range Hood to
the Ceiling
The entire structure that has been
pre-assembled above, must now be
hoisted up to the ceiling. A few
things have to happen at once here:
the slots (as discussed below) need
to be engaged and the ductwork
must make connection with the
length of ductwork on the structure.
Do not fix the ducting to the outlet
with screws - use DUCT TAPE.
Stand the assembled structure on a
clean soft surface. Ensure the
underside of the hood does not get
scratched and slide the chimneys of
the assembled structure from the top
down as per the schematic on page
5. Ensure that the holes for fixing
the decorative chimney are correctly
orientated with the holes at the top
of bracket “A”.
This will require two strong people –
do not attempt this step on your
own. Bracket “B” has slots, position
C per Diagram “A” (refer to page 5),
at the top that will receive the spring
clips located on Bracket “A” – THIS
IS A TEMPORARY HOLD ONLY –
DO NOT RELY SOLELY ON
THESE CLIPS TO HOLD THE
HOOD UP – THEY WON’T. Once
“hooked” by the spring clips immedi-
ately secure the structure with the
machine screws at point “E” on the
schematic on page 5 – THIS MUST
BE DONE IMMEDIATELY AND
SHOULD NOT BE SKIPPED.
Ensure the entire structure is sturdy
- serious injury, death and MAJOR
damage could result should the unit
not be well connected to the frame
structure within the ceiling.
This is of utmost importance – do
not go any further until this has been
tested and double checked – the
installer has sole responsibility for
the safe installation of this product.
Connecting Electricity and
Ducting
Make sure power is turned off at the
source. Mak e the electrical
connection (see figure 2). Test the
functioning of the hood. Slide the
upper chimney into place and attach
with the machine screws provided to
Bracket “A”.

Re-Circulating Requirements
Fit the carbon filter after the
installation is complete – these fit in
behind the aluminum grease filter.
A short length of ductwork must be
connected from the exhaust outlet
up to the deflector (must be
purchased with hood).
The deflector, after attaching part B
with screws E connects to the top of
Bracket “A” and forces the air out
through the grills on the side of the
chimney section back into the room.
(see diagram C).
SCHEMATIC OF MODULAR ISLAND COMPONENTS

Read all the instructions before
operating the appliance.
Save these instructions for future
reference.
General Advice
Ensure that the grease filters are in
place. Without these components,
operating blowers could catch on to
hair, fingers and loose clothing.
Keep fan, filters and surfaces clean
of grease and fat. Always turn hood
fan ON when cooking. NEVER leave
cooking unattended.
NEVER dispose cigarette ashes,
ignitable substances or any foreign
objects into blowers.
Cooking that generates flame is not
recommended as this hood is
equipped with a thermal overload
that will shut down the motor if it
senses excessive heat. When
frying, oil in the pan can easily
overheat and ignite. Heat oil slowly
in an appropriately sized pot
(covering the entire burner) to
reduce the risk of boiling over and
burning.
In the event of a range top grease
fire, observe the following:
Switch OFF the range hood. Turn
off the cook top then smother flames
with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet
or other metal tray. If the flames do
not go out immediately.
EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
Never pick up a flaming pan – you
may be burned. DO NOT USE
WATER including wet dishcloths or
towels, as a violent steam explosion
may occur.

Filter requires washing indicator:
after 30 hours of use, all the buttons
will light up to remind you that the
grease filter should be cleaned.
Follow the instructions for cleaning
filters in this booklet. Once the
grease filters have been cleaned
and replaced, reset by pressing the
timer button (F). Do not rely solely
on this indicator. Generally, the
grease filter should be washed on a
regular basis to avoid grease filter
fires.
The blower should be turned on for
approximately 5 minutes before
cooking in order to establish air
currents upward through the hood.
Use the low speeds for normal use
and the higher speeds for strong
odors and fumes.

The hood-fan should provide many
years of trouble free service
provided it is maintained properly.
Cleaning the Filter
Clean the grease filter either by
carefully hand washing, (so as not to
damage the filter design) or,
preferabl y in a dishwas her.
Depending on use, the filters should
be cleaned at least every two weeks
in a dishwasher.
If a carbon filter has been fitted this
must be replaced at least every 6
months as a minimum. Depending
on cooking style and nature of
cooking (greasy foods, fry’s, curries
etc) would probably require more
frequent replacement – if odors start
to manifest themselves when
cooking it is time to replace the
carbon filter . We suggest you retain
a spare set. These can be ordered
from the supplier of your range
hood.
Cleaning the Hood
Cleaning of the internal parts should
be done with a clean damp (not
excessively wet) cloth together with
regular household detergent. The
external stainless steel elements
should be cleaned with a good
quality foaming stainless steel
cleaner. Read the manufacturers
directions. Generally they recomend
that the foam be sprayed onto a
clean dry cloth and then applied to
the stainless steel. Allow the foam to
react on the surface for a few
minutes and then wipe with a clean
dry cloth.
MAINTENANCE
7
On the surfaces that are exposed
directly to heat from the cook-top, it
is advisable to clean these on a
regular basis to avoid the marks
from becoming baked on.
Do not under any circumstances use
an abrasive type cleaner as this will
scratch and damage the stainless
steel finish. Glass components
should be cleaned with a product
such as Windex.
Light Bulb Replacement
Turn blower and lights off. Make
sure the lights are cool.
If new lights do not operate, check
fuses and be sure globes and
breakers are inserted correctly.
Do not remove the entire fixture
(socket) as this is very difficult to
reinstall. Gently pry the bulb from the
fixture using a soft instrument such
as a toothpick. Steel instruments
will scratch the surface (refer to
figure 2).
Replace the appropriate bulb. Check
parts brochure or specification
sheets on our website.
Wipe both sides of the
glass whilst it is out. Re-insert the
glass-blocking ring and fasten it.
