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 Retailer where you
purchased your unit from.
IMPORTANT: Any installation work must be
carried out by a suitably qualified person.
oThe hood must be installed in accordance with the installation
instructions and all measurements followed.
oIf the range hood is installed for use above a gas appliance then
the provision for ventilation must be in accordance with the Gas
standard NZS 5261:2003.
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:
¾Electric cookers: 750 mm
¾Gas cookers: 750 mm
¾Coal/ oil cookers: 800 mm
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SET YOUR RANGE HOOD LESS THAN
750mm ABOVE YOUR COOKER.
oWhen installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the cabinets
must not overhang the hob.
oThe edges of the range 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!
5

oIf the room where the range 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 range hood. Older
children and infirm persons should be
supervised if they are using the range hood.
oYour range 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
on a gas cooker.
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 range hood is
removing air from your room. Ensure that proper ventilation
measures are being observed.
6

oNote that it removes odours from your room, not steam.
oWarning - Always ensure that the range
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 range hood. They should not be left on
permanently and used as a lighting source.
oThe range hood should not be exposed to a direct heat source
from the cooking device underneath it, i.e. naked flame from a
gas burner or heat from electric hob zones without a pan on
them.
oDo not attempt to use the range 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 range hood.
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL
RESPONSIBILITY IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE TO
OBSERVE THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN HERE, FOR
INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND SUITABLE
USE OF THE HOOD.
