W A R N I N G S

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.

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance. If the range hood is vented, the air so vented must be ducted into a dedicated duct that is not showed with any other equipment whatsoever. All ducting must conform to all requirements of the local authority.

If the range hood is to be used inside he same structure (home or building) as any equipment hat burns combustible material such as oil, coal, gas, etc. then pervision must be made for make up air. Under certain circumstances, the range hood could create a negative air pressure inside the structure. This negative air pressure must not exceed 0.04 mbar (please consult your local HVAC professional for guidance at this point).

The use of combustible material in close proximity of the range hood must be avoided. When frying, please pay particular attention to fire risk due to grease. Being highly inflammable, fried oil is especially dangerous. In order to avoid possible fire risk, all instructions for greasefilter cleaning and for removing eventual grease deposits must be followed strictly.

If the rating label in the cooker-hood shows the symbol , the appliance is built in class II and it does not need any ground connection.

If the rating label in the cooker-hood does not show the symbol ,the appliance is built in class I and it needs the ground connection.

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.

When performing the electrical connections on the appliance, please ensure that the current supply is provide with ground connection and that the voltage values correspond to those indicated on the label placed inside the appliance itself.

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 ductwork is clean of grease build up, or ductwork 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.

(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 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 requires 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 possible, reduce the number of transitions and turns with as few sharp angles as possible.

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.

E L E C T R I C A L

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.

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.

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.

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.

Applications

The SUT900 can either be installed inside a wall cabinet (provided the inside depth is greater than 11”) or used in a custom designed wooden hood. Where installed directly into a wall cabinet, there are two options:

Please ensure that the SUT900 is installed as far forward in the wooden hood as possible and centered over the cooking area.

Directly into the cabinet without any form of hood. Directly into the cabinet together with Sch31A where the Sch31A acts as a liner hood and is attached to either the underside of the cabinet or into the sides of the cabinets alongside.

Depending on which model is used, prepare a cut-out in the underside of the wooden hood to allow the

SUT900 to fit up into the hood (refer to figure 3 or 4). If Sch31A is being used, it can be held up under the cabinet and used as a template.

Remember to make the depth 10.3”.

Sch 31A

If Sch31A is to be used for under cabinet application, it should be installed now. Screw Sch 31A to the

4 hole locations. Make sure it lines up with the cut out in your cabinet (refer to figure 5).

Figure 6

There are four holes on the inside of the SUT900 to fix the unit into the edge of the base of the wooden hood (refer to figure 7).

Connect the appropriate length of ducting to the fan exhaust point and join up with the ducting to the exterior.

Do not fix the ducting to the range hood exhaust outlet with screws -

use duct tape. Use duct tape on all joints.

Re-Circulating Requirements

Figure 7

Connecting Electricity and

Ducting

If the unit is to be used in the re-circulating mode, fit the carbon filters after the installation is complete

(refer to Figure 9).

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 off at source. Make electrical connections (refer to Figure 8).

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

Figure 9

The carbon filter fits in behind the aluminium grease filter. Ensure that the plastic tabs on the carbon filter are facing outwards otherwise it will be difficult to remove it later for replacement.

A short length of ductwork must be connected from the exhaust outlet on the fan to wherever the air is to

be exhausted. Allow sufficient space to connect the ductwork to the top of the exhaust outlet on the fan housing.

Do not fix the ducting to the range hood exhaust outlet with screws, use duct tape. Duct tape should be used on all joints.
