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 Baumatic 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 in any way. Do not tamper with 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: 700 mm
¾Gas cookers: 700 mm
¾Coal/ oil cookers: 800 mm
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SET YOUR COOKER HOOD LESS
THAN 700mm ABOVE YOUR COOKER.
oWhen installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the cabinets
must not overhang the hob.

6
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 FILTER!
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 extraction mode, ensure that the
ducting is fire retardant and that there are no bends greater
than 90 degrees as this will reduce the efficiency of the hood.
oEnsure the ducting for the extractor mode 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
on a gas cooker.
oThe manufacturer refuses to accept any responsibility for
damages arising to the hood or for it catching on fire, from a
failure to observe the fire safety advice contained in these
instructions.

7
oRemember that when in extraction mode, your cooker hood is
removing air from your room. Ensure that proper ventilation
measures are being observed.
oNote that the cooker hood removes odours from your
kitchen, 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 cleaning and
replacing light bulbs.
oDo not connect the ducting system of this appliance to an
existing ventilation system 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 cooker 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 cooker hood if it is damaged in any
way. Never attempt to use it without the grease filter fitted or if
the filter is excessively greasy!
oNever flambé cook under this cooker hood.
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.
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL
RESPONSIBILITY IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE TO
OBSERVE THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN HERE, FOR
INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND SUITABLE

Using your Baumatic cooker hood
Before first use
IMPORTANT: THIS PROCESS MUST BE FOLLOWED
BEFORE THE COOKER HOOD IS USED FOR THE FIRST
TIME.
oYou should clean the appliance using a brand new cloth, with
warm soapy water before using the appliance for the first time.
You should then dry it thoroughly using a soft cloth.
To use your cooker hood
oMake sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified
person, as per the information contained in Baumatic’s
installation instructions.
oFind the control panel, which can be located by opening the front
panel and looking on the right hand side of the cooker hood.
oThere are two sliders on the control panel, which perform
separate functions.
Light ON/OFF slider
0 = Light bulb off
1 = Light bulb on

11
Speed control slider
0 = Off
1 = Low speed
2= Medium speed
3= High speed
oThe cooker hood can be operated by leaving the speed control
slider on setting 1, 2 or 3 and closing the extractor door. This
will automatically turn the motor off.
oWhen the extractor door is opened again, the motor will resume
at the last set speed. The same also applies for the light slider
control.
Turning the cooker hood off
You can turn the cooker hood off in two ways.
oThe cooker hood can be switched off by setting the motor speed
control to 0.
oYou can close the extractor door to switch the cooker hood off
however the motor speed will remain the same when you next
lift the cover up.
IMPORTANT: IDEALLY YOU SHOULD TURN ON YOUR
HOOD TEN MINUTES BEFORE YOU START TO COOK,
OR AT THE VERY LEAST WHEN YOU BEGIN COOKING.
YOU SHOULD ALSO RUN YOUR HOOD FOR TEN
MINUTES AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED COOKING.

12
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 filters 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.
The grease filter
oYour cooker hood includes a grease filter which helps to absorb
grease particles to protect your kitchen and furniture from
greasy residues.
oThe synthetic filter may become flammable if it becomes
saturated with this greasy residue.
oTo prevent this fire hazard, the filter should be replaced
occasionally. Depending on use, this should be done every 3
months, following the method shown in the next section.
oThe synthetic grease filter is not washable.
oReplacement synthetic filters can be purchased from the
Baumatic Spares Department.

13
Maintenance
Removing and changing the grease filter
oLocate the two catches at the base of the filter as shown in the
diagram above (1).
oInsert a finger into each catch and gently lift and pull the filter
outwards (2).
oEnsure the filter unclips from the hood, as shown in the diagram
above (3), before you pull it away.

14
oRemove the metal wires which hold the synthetic filter in place.
oRemove the synthetic filter and replace with a new clean one.
oReattach the metal wires in their original positions to secure the
synthetic filter in place.
oRefit the filter in the cooker hood.

15
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.
oYou should use a suitable screwdriver to loosen the screws
holding the panel into place. Once this is removed, you will have
access to the bulb.
oPrior to touching the light bulbs ensure that they have cooled
down.
oUnscrew the light bulb and insert a new olive shaped bulb with
an E14 coupling 40W (max).
oIMPORTANT: Defective bulbs should be replaced immediately.
oIf the lights still do not work, make sure that the bulb is fitted
properly into the housing before you call for technical assistance.

16
oOnce the bulb has been replaced, refit the panel by screwing the
screws back into place.
Fitting the carbon filter
If the appliance is going to be used in recirculation mode then it is
necessary to a fit a carbon filter. This will help to absorb unpleasant
odours caused by cooking.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FIT OR
REMOVE THE CARBON FILTERS, YOU MUST
ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE
COOKER HOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY.
oRemove the filter by locating the two catches at the base of the
grease filter, as shown in the diagram above (1).
oInsert a finger into each catch and gently lift and pull the filter
outwards (2).

17
oEnsure the filter unclips from the hood, as shown in the diagram
on the previous page, before you pull it away. This will allow you
access to the motor where the carbon filter should be fitted.
oHook the carbon filter which has two fixing pins (C) onto the
motor (D).
oTurn the carbon filter clockwise (F), until you feel it click into
place. oRefit the filter, making sure it clips
back into the hood correctly.
oThe carbon filters should be replaced
every three months, or if they show
signs of damage. To remove the
carbon filter, turn it anticlockwise so
it unlatches from the motor.

18
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 filter.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of the installer
failing to observe all of the accident prevention regulations in force,
which are necessary for normal use and the regular operation of the
electric system.
