WARNING:
- The motor must be accessible for servicing purposes. If not, servicing may be refused unless access can be provided.
- The ducting of the rangehood must not be connected to ducting which is used for exhausting other fumes from appliances, such as central heating, boilers etc.
- For the external exhausting of the fumes, comply with the Australian building standards.
- Ventilate the room suitably according to the Australian building standards when the appliance is working together with gas or oil appliances.
- The SEM motor is powered by the range hood. Standard 10AMP GPO at the point of rangehood required.
- Before connecting the rangehood to the mains supply, make sure that the voltage indicated in the rating plate corresponds to the mains voltage in the home.
- Before carrying out any sort of maintenance or cleaning operation, make sure that the appliance is disconnected from the electrical mains.
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 meters 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 minimize 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 in noise level caused by non-compliance with the instructions above.
BEFORE YOU INSTALL – please read
Sirius warranty covers only Sirius products. If you choose to install a non- Sirius branded accessory such as flexible ducting, Sirius will only warrant the hood and motor. If the 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.
The appliance must be installed and connected to the power supply only by a qualified technician.
- There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood 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

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, horizontal timber supports (not supplied) may need to be fitted.
-
3. Fit the roof flashing to the 200mm diameter steel pipe 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 accommodate the flashing.
-
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’s warranty. A minimum requirement for semi-rigid ductwork can be used. See the 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.
-
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. There will be a 6 pin plug and an earth wire. Remove a screw on the body of the hood and secure the earth wire to the body, tighten that screw back into place. The connection for the 6 pin plug will be exposed and clearly accessible to the plugin.
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 SEM5XS316 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.
