Hello, We purchased this range hood and have had it installed. It is extremely loud - not what it sounded like in store. In store it was quiet and this sounds like a truck is in the kitchen. Additionally, when we change the fan levels the noise does not changed and it does not seem to be getting stronger.
Hi can you please advise me of the decibel rating on this rangehood. I
Hi Hayden, Thanks for contacting us, unfortunately, we don't record the rating of our range hoods anymore due to the fact there are a number of factors that can affect the noise level such as the ducting used and how it's installed.
If you a concerned about the noise level I would recommend having a look at our off-board range hoods, these are designed so that the motor is installed away from the rangehood resulting in a much quieter operation.

My SL906-L850 (4.5 years old) Rangehood has a grinding noise when Turned ON and OFF on SPEED2. Speeds 1 , 2 & 3 are fine when turned ON, however the grinding noise is extreme when the fan is turned OFF, whilst on the speeds. It comes to a noisy grinding stop on speeds. The Rangehood has always been carefully and caringly maintained. It seems that my problem is an almost exact replica as per the problem that Darko G has earlier mentioned Your attention and response would be much appreciated Thank you Mervyn
Hi Mervyn, It is difficult to determine the issue without seeing the rangehood. It would be best to give Arisit Technical Support a call on 1300 762 219 to see if they can recommend a solution or if they think a technician needs to come out to have a look. Regards
Dear Sirius Team I am considering to buy Sirius SL906-L 850 but i am confused about the cost it will add to my total purchase. The rangehood alone cost around $1300 and i am still confused what other things we will need to get it fully installed with offboard motor. And how much is the installation charges and who can actually install the rangehood correctly.
Hi Kamal, The SL906 L 850 has an onboard motor. If your wanting the external motor version of this undermount then the model number is SL906 EM-L 850. To get the rangehood installed correctly you will also need to purchase ducting.
We have a Ducting Guide to help you determine how to duct the rangehood and ducting kits on the Sirius Website. external link
For more information on ducting you can call our Sales Department on 1300 762 219.

How do you remove the filters for cleaning please my no is 0424731881
Hi Richard, The filters are spring loaded, so just grab the knob on the filter and the whole thing forwards, then pull downwards to get the filter out. It can then be placed in the dishwasher to clean and then refitted when it is clean and dry. Regards
Hi, looking to purchase a Sirius SL906-L 850 to go above a 90cm gas cooktop. Does this range hood work well with gas and will it be large enough for the cooktop? Thx
Hi Rosie, The SL906-L 850 rangehood works great over a gas cooktop, and it is no problem to put a 85cm hood over a 90cm cooktop. Regards
Thank you for the prompt response
Hi Sirius Team,
I am about to purchase a SL906-850 unit and instal in an old house with a brick chimney. The exhaust would be routed directly to the chimney with free ventilation to the existing chimney cowling. Could you please advise weather ducting is required, and if so, what purpose would this serve as I have been getting conflicting information.
Many Thanks,
Mick
I am looking at renovating my kitchen. Looking at getting a 60cm induction cooktop. Salesperson recommended the Sirius SL906-L Excel 850 or SL906 EM-L 850 (offboard motor version). Would like feedback on this rangehood in regards to use with induction cooktops. Has anyone had issues with condensation? The salesperson recommended a twin motor but my partner is adamant that only a single motor is required. Thoughts?
Hi Mel we purchased the 520 with single motor for 60cm induction cooktop. These rangehoods are designed for induction cook tops and should prevent induction rain. We have not installed ours yet. But we believe this should be adequate for 60cm induction cook top.
Dear Sirius,
We are building a new home and I have to very quickly choose an under-mount rangehood to sit over a 90cm (5 zones) Induction cooktop. Our electrician has already installed ducting ready to go, and the builder does not want to change this. It's also a skillion roof, so there's very little room in the roof cavity.
I'm stuck as to which is the best unit to go with that will give great suction (I do a lot of stir frys), but also with the least amount of noise if we cannot have the motor outside. Please help.
Regards, Karinda
Hi l have just had our Sirius SL906-850 installed and it works perfectly. The only issue is the noise. It has the twin on board motors. The sales person was adamant that this would be the quietest product they have as we wanted to avoid the noise like the plague. We also have a box (its possibly an off board motor) that we haven't yet connected up. Is it a case of, once connected this off board motor overrides the motor in the undermount, does this make it quiet?
Hi L.Dorsi, can you please advise where you purchased your rangehood and what suburb? If the rangehood has not been ducted correctly, this might be creating extra noise. For example, do you know if flexible ducting was used? This type of ducting can be easily damaged and created excess noise. Does the box have any codes or model numbers on it? This will indicate to us if you were given a SEM (silent extraction method) motor. This is unnecessary for an on board motor. Also, can you please check your model number as the SL906-L 850 is a single motor. Please advise. Kind regards, Sirius Brand.
Hi, the model number is sl906 L Excel 850. I'll look at the other box provided to find out what is in there
It is not quite
Hi L.Dorsi & Marion,
I am thinking of buying the same one with twin on board motors. I'm wondering if this issue got resloved or is it still noisy?
Hi Sirius team, we love the under mount range hood its the best! but I have a question last time I cleaned the vents I put the first one in the wrong way around it went in ok yesterday I went to take them out & realised my error now I cant get the vent section out do you know how I would go about this?

Hi Sirius team,
I am trying to make decision about choosing between SL906L 850or SL906-LExcel850. These 2 model has a $500 to $600 variation in price. I read both review and they are excellent. If I choose the lower price model
SL906-L850 and it is going to have around 5m pipe to outside. Would you think his model would extract Asian cooking with heaps of smoke and steam? I need to know as soon as possible as my builder need to install the pipe soon 2 weeks time.
Your promt reply would be much appreciated then I can choose the right model rangehood .
Regards
Dora
Hi Shiraz! I would suggest going the twin motor version (excel) considering the type of cooking you do, also because you have a relatively long ducting run. If you would like to discuss further, happy to help! Please call us on 1300 762 219 and choose technical option. Our team will go through your install details with you to make sure you have the perfect model for your application. Team Sirius.
Hi
My rangehood makes a lot of noise but doesn't seem to draw all of the fumes well. I'm wondering if this is due to where it is ducted too perhaps?
Thanks
Hi thank you for your question, this sounds like an installation problem, the range hoods are very strong, you would either have a ducting issue or something similar, if you cannot see the fault you will need a service call to book this contact our team on 1300762219, thank you Ariston team.
How do you take out the vents for cleaning?
Dear Justin, you simply pull out the baffle filters using the pull leaver, thank you Sirius team.
We have just had our Sirius SL906-850 installed and it works perfectly. The problem is we also have a box (its possibly an off board motor) that we don't even know where or how to connect to the undermounted unit. Is it a case of, once connected this off board motor overrides the motor in the undermount, does this make it even quieter? We can not find where it plugs in or how it powers up. If the rangehood works fine, what is this other motor, were we possibly sold something extra that we didn't need? We are very confused. Thank you, Shirl
Hi Shirl, you will need to call our support team to discuss this onn 1300762219, you will need to know if you have an onboard or offboard rangehood as well, take out the filters and look up. this will sho you if it on board or not, then call our team tp dicuss this* Thank you Sirius Brand.
I have just had a Sirius SL 906- L850 model installed. It was highly recommended by salesperson. I got it because it was meant to be quiet however it sounds like a jet plane taking off on 2-4, I even find no 1 loud. Should I go back to the electrician who installed it first? I can't believe it would be so loud since a lot of reviews state how quiet it is. Can't tell you how disappointed I am!
Hi Kristy, this should NOT be the case it souds like an install problem. It would be best to log a sevrice call so our team can come and asses why the unit is doing this* Thank you, Sirius brand.
Hi Kristy,
I was wondering if this issue got resolved?
Apart from cleaning the filters and general area around filters, is there anything else needed for maintenance ?
Hi thank you for your question, the rangehood will let you know when the filters need to be cleaned, no other maintenance is required* Thank you , Sirius Brand.
