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.

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 confined
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 and 2)
Only use rigid type metal ducting
(plastic ducting is generally not
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.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
It is advisable to test run the
range hood before installation.
Please read this entire manual and
ensure that you are fully conversant
with the requirements and limitations
permitted by code). Flexible ducting
could restrict airflow by up to 50%.
Always fasten connections with
sheet metal screws and tape all
joints with certified 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 re-
quires a 6” round duct outlet. You
can increase the duct size of the
duct run but never decrease it. Use
the shortest and most direct route
possible. Always, wherever possi-
ble, reduce the num ber of
transitions and turns with as few
sharp angles as possible.

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 floor
level, the electrical supply should be
76” above floor level and no further
than 3” to the right (as you face the
wall) of the central axis of the range
hood.
hood is 100’. Calculate your duct run
by measuring linear feet and adding
the elbows, transitions and caps
based on the table alongside.
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.
Range hoods may interrupt the
proper flow of combustion gases
from fireplaces, 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.

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.
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.
