IMPORTANT INFORMATION
BEFORE INSTALLATION IN YOUR SIRIUS RANGEHOOD
FLASHING NOT INCLUDED
-
Sirius has metal and tiled roof flashing available in various sizes from your retailer, or visit www.siriusbrand.com
Rangehood and SEM5 XS316 must be a minimum of 2 metres between rangehood and motor for noise reduction reasons. -
Only use ducting that falls within the necessary minimum and maximum length requirements as specified in the installation guide.
-
Try and minimise bends to the ducting for optimum performance.
-
Use only suitable ducting as specified by Sirius. Under no circumstances is flexible ducting to be used as it creates unwanted noise, vibration and can place the motor under unnecessary stress resulting in premature failure of the SEM motor.
-
Under no circumstances is the duct diameter to be reduced. A constant minimum diameter of 150mm for the SEM 5 must be maintained at all times.
-
Read the mounting and operating instructions of the rangehood carefully.
-
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for a decrease in airflow or for an increase of noise level caused by non-compliance with the instructions above.
MOTOR WIRING CONNECTION
- Remove the four screws holding the front of the housing in place to expose the connections.
- Following the wiring chart on the front of the housing, connect each wire to the matching colour, making sure that this is done correctly before running power to the unit.
- Replace the cover and fix the four screws back into place.
BEFORE YOU INSTALL – DUCTING INFORMATION
Sirius warranty covers only Sirius product. If you choose to install a non- Sirius branded accessory such as flexible ducting, Sirius will only warrant the rangehood and motor. If installation is found to be the cause of failure or issue then charges will apply for service and parts. Flexible ducting is not permitted under any circumstances. Flexible ducting has been found to increase noise levels, increase vibration and reduce airflow. Sirius Semi- rigid or solid ducting can be used in lieu. There is a range available to suit any application.
WARNING
The appliance must be installed and connected to the power supply only by a qualified technician.
- There should be adequate ventilation of the room when the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room)
- The details concerning the method and frequency of cleaning
- There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions;
- Do not flambé under the range hood;
- CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
Ducting is available at www.siriusbrand.com
6 Year Warranty when Sirius Ducting is used. Full replacement warranty on parts and labour. See website for terms & conditions. A reduction in the duct diameter from stated ducting size will void warranty. If you are in doubt about the ducting, please contact Sirius on 1300 762 219 prior to installation.

NOTE
Please be aware for noise reasons the SEM51 motor is required to be a minimum of 2 meters from the location of the rangehood. 3-5 meters is the best practice installation. The motor has a 7-meter long control cable which cannot be lengthened under any circumstances. Any attempt to modify this product in any way will immediately void the manufacturer’s warranty.
INSTALLATION
-
Pre-determine the exit point where the roof penetration will be and prepare a hole of 205 mm to accommodate the motor flue.
-
Fix the Internal Bracket on the inside of the roof cavity using the 9 x 25mm Screws Supplied in the packaging. (Fig. 1) Please note that if there is no timber supports to hold the Internal bracket, horozontal timber supports (not supplied) may need to be fitted.
-
Fit the roof flashing to the 200mm diameter steel pipe (as in Fig. 2) and insert the pipe through the roof penetration and internal bracket. Sirius Roof Flashing can be purchased through your retailer or at Siriusbrand.com. Metal roof flashing code: MRF G178, Tiled Roof Flashing code: TRF G075
-
Fix the 200mm pipe to the internal bracket with the 8 x supplied 9.5mm screws. Please note that the 200mm pipe has no pre drilled holes and will need to be drilled at the desired height by the installer. A minimum of 100mm exposed section of 200mm pipe is required to accomodate the flashing. (Fig. 3)
-
Once the 200mm pipe is securely fitted to the internal bracket, connect 150mm ducting to the motor. Please note, do not use screws to fix the ductwork to this section as it will prevent the nonreturn valves from opening during operation. Low-grade flexible ducting should not be used under any circumstances as it will void the manufacturer warranty. A minimum requirement semi-rigid ductwork can be used. See approved range of ducting at www.siriusbrand.com
-
Feed the attached ductwork and power cable through the 200mm section of pipe into the roof cavity. (Fig. 4)
-
Fix the motor to the exposed section of the 200mm pipe and secure in place with the supplied 8 x 5mm screws. Please note that the exit point on the motor needs to be positioned on the low side of the pitch on the roof. (Fig 5.).
-
Run the motor power cable back to the location of the range hood and plug in the connections. Follow the MOTOR WIRING CONNECTION instructions on page 4 of this manual to connect the motor to the range hood.
IMPORTANT
Note: Never reduce the ducting diameter under any circumstances as it will severely affect the performance and increase the noise level of your range hood. A 150mm constant diameter duct run is required. Avoid abrupt changes in direction of your ductwork. For every 90 degrees bend, reduce your maximum duct length by 1 meter. Example: 2 x 90-degree bend, maximum duct length should not exceed 5 meters. -
Run the ductwork from the motor location back to the location of the rangehood. Connect the ductwork to the plastic outlet collar on the range hood and secure in place. Please note, do not use screws to fix the ductwork to the rangehood as it will prevent the nonreturn valves from opening during operation.
-
Plug the range hood into a 10 amp GPO located within 1 Metre of the range hood. Press the red reset button until you feel a click, you will now have power to the hood and motor and can begin operation of your Sirius Rangehood.
IMPORTANT
Sirius strongly recommends that the installation of the SEM51 motor should only be performed by a suitably qualified tradesperson. Sirius will not be held responsible for any ongoing issues due to incorrect or sub standard installation by an unqualified installer.
