IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your safety is of the utmost importance to Baumatic.
Please make sure that you read this instruction booklet
before attempting to install or use the appliance. If
you are unsure of any of the information contained in
this booklet, please contact the Customer Care
Department.
IMPORTANT: Any installation work must be
carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
oThe hood must be installed in accordance with the installation
instructions and all measurements followed.
oIf the cooker hood is installed for use above a gas appliance then
the provision for ventilation must be in accordance with the Gas
Safety Codes of Practice BS.6172, BS.5440 & BS.6891 (Natural
Gas) and BS.5482 (LP Gas) 1994, the Gas Safety (Installation &
Use) Regulations, the Building Regulations issued by the
Department of the Environment, the Building Standards
(Scotland) (Consolidated) Regulations issued by the Scottish
Development Department.
oIt is dangerous to alter the specifications or to modify this
product. Do not tamper with it or attempt to modify the
appliance in any way.
oWhen installing the hood, ensure that the following
recommended distances are observed between the highest point
on the hob top (including the burners) and the bottom of the
cooker hood:
Electric appliances: 700 mm
Gas appliances: 700 mm
Coal/ oil cookers: 800 mm
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SET YOUR COOKER HOOD LESS
THAN 700mm ABOVE THE APPLIANCE BELOW.*

6
* On models BESW601, BESW901 and BESW902 only, to
facilitate ease of access to the control panel, it is possible to
reduce the minimum gap to 500 mm.
oWhen installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the cabinets
must not overhang the hob.
oThe edges of the cooker hood are sharp –be mindful of this as
you handle your appliance, especially during installation and
cleaning. DO NOT CLEAN IN BEHIND THE GREASE FILTERS!
oIf the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains a fuel
burning appliance such as a central heating boiler then its flue
must be of the sealed or balanced flue type.
oIf other types of flue or appliances are fitted, ensure that there is
an adequate supply of air in the room.
oWhen the hood is being used in its extractor function, ensure
that the ducting is fire retardant and that there are no bends
sharper than 90 degrees as this will reduce the efficiency of the
hood.
oEnsure the ducting for the extractor function has the same
diameter as the outlet hole all the way through.
oKeep young children from using, playing with or
tampering with the cooker hood. Older children
and infirm persons should be supervised if they are
using the cooker hood.
oYour cooker hood is for domestic use only.
oPlease dispose of the packing material carefully –children are
especially vulnerable to it.
oDirty oil is an even greater fire risk.
oAlways put lids on pots and pans when cooking.

7
oThe manufacturer refuses to accept any responsibility for
damages arising to the hood or it catching on fire, from a failure
to observe the fire safety advice contained in this instruction
booklet.
oRemember that when in extraction mode, your cooker hood is
removing air from your room. Ensure that proper ventilation
measures are being observed.
oNote: Your cooker hood is designed to remove cooking
odours from the room and not steam.
oWarning - Always ensure that the cooker
hood has been disconnected from the
power supply before carrying out any work
on the hood, including replacing light bulbs.
oDo not connect the ducting system of this appliance to any
existing ventilation system which is being used for any other
purpose.
oDo not install above a cooker with a high level grill.
oNever leave frying pans unattended during use
as overheated fats and oils might catch fire.
oThe lights on this appliance should only be used during operation
of the cooker hood. They should not be left on permanently and
used as a lighting source.
oThe cooker hood should not be exposed to a direct heat source
from the cooking device underneath it, i.e. a naked flame from a
gas burner or heat from electric hob zones without a pan on
them.
oDo not attempt to use the cooker hood if it is damaged in any
way. Never attempt to use it without the grease filters fitted or
if the filters are excessively greasy!
oNever flambé cook under this cooker hood.
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL
RESPONSIBILITY IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE TO
OBSERVE THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN HERE, FOR
INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND SUITABLE

Cleaning your Baumatic cooker hood
IMPORTANT: BEFORE CLEANING, ALWAYS
ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE SWITCHED YOUR
COOKER HOOD OFF AT THE OMNI-POLAR
SWITCH, SET AT THE WALL FROM THE CABLE.
Cleaning
oClean the external parts of your cooker hood with mild liquid
detergent and a new damp cloth.
oNever use abrasive powder, corrosive solvents or brushes.
oNever insert pointed objects into the motor’s protective grid.
oOnly clean the control panel and grease filter grill with mild liquid
detergents and a new damp cloth.
oIf you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then be
sure to replace the carbon filter at the recommended interval
(see section on “Fitting the carbon filter”). A build up of grease
could cause a fire hazard.
oNever attempt to clean the area above the grease filter(s).
The grease filters
oYour cooker hood includes grease filters which help to absorb
grease particles to protect your kitchen and furniture from
greasy residues.
oThese metallic filters may become flammable if they become
saturated with this greasy residue.
oTo prevent this fire hazard, the filters should be cleaned
regularly. Depending on use, this should be done every 10-15
days or at least once a month, using hot water and normal
washing-up detergent.
oDO NOT WASH THE GREASE FILTERS IN A DISHWASHER.
oAfter 14 hours of operation, the cleaning reminder symbol will
light on the LCD display. This can be cleared by pressing the
light button once (the lights will switch on). Then pressing and
holding the light button until the cleaning reminder symbol goes
out.

17
Maintenance
Removing and cleaning the grease filters
oFirst lift up the cover screen and then remove the grease filters
by pulling down on the handle and pulling them away from the
cooker hood as shown in the diagram above.
oSoak the grease filters in hot water and washing up liquid for at
least 3 minutes. Then use a soft brush to loosen any grease
deposits that have formed.
oRinse the grease filters off thoroughly with hot
water.
oRepeat the process if required.
oRefit the grease filters once they have dried
and close the cover screen.
IMPORTANT: Let the grease filters dry thoroughly before
refitting them in the cooker hood.

18
Changing a light bulb
IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE
A LIGHT BULB, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU
HAVE DISCONNECTED THE COOKER HOOD FROM
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY.
oPrior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.
oUsing a screwdriver, gently prise the edge of the light unit out of
the fixture, as shown in the picture below. Please note that it
may be easier to use two screwdrivers.
oOnce the light unit has been released from the fixture, gently
pull out the light unit.
oThere are wires connected to the back of the light unit. You must
disconnect the wiring from the internal connector, before
removing the light bulb mechanism completely.

19
oIMPORTANT: It is not possible to replace the bulbs individually.
It will be necessary to obtain the bulbs, bulb holders and wiring
as a complete part. This is available from our Spares
Department.
oFit the replacement light unit and wiring in the reverse order,
first by attaching the wires to the connectors, and then by
inserting the light unit back into the light fixture.
oEnsure that the light unit securely locks into place.
IMPORTANT: If the light unit still does not work after installing the
new unit then please ensure that the wires have been properly
connected and the hood has been reconnected to the power supply
before contacting the Customer Care Department.
Fitting the carbon filters
If the appliance is being used to be used in recirculation mode then it
is necessary to fit carbon filters. This will help to absorb unpleasant
odours caused by cooking.

REMOVE THE CARBON FILTERS, YOU MUST
ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE
COOKER HOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY.
1) Open the cover screen and remove the grease filters.
2) Press the carbon filter against one
end of the motor, the fixing point is in
the centre of the carbon filter.
3) Turn the carbon filter clockwise,
until you feel it click into place.
oRepeat this process for the second carbon filter. You need to
place a carbon filter at either end of the motor.

20
oRefit the grease filters.
oThe carbon filters should be replaced every 3 - 6 months or if
they show signs of damage.
Installation
IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage read
all the instructions and make sure that the
voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on
the rating plate are exactly the same as the
voltage and frequency in your home. The rating
plate can be found behind the grease filters.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of the installer
failing to observe all the accident prevention regulations in force,
which are necessary for normal use and the regular operation of the
electric system.
