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)

oIt is dangerous to alter the
specifications or to modify this
product in any way. Do not tamper
with it or attempt to alter it in the
attempt to customise it further.
oWhen installing the hood,
ensure that the following
recommended distances are being
observed between the cooker top
and the bottom of the cooker hood:
9Electric cookers:
700 mm
9Gas cookers:
700 mm
9Coal/ oil cookers:
800 mm
* NOTE - 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 and
their undersides must be
at least 50 mm off from
the hob edges.
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.

the extractor function
has the same diameter as

fire from failure to
observe fire safety advice
in these instructions.
o Remember that when in
extraction mode, your
cooker hood is removing
air from your room.
Ensure that proper
ventilation measures are
being observed. Note
that it removes odours
from your room, not
steam.

that the cooker hood has
been disconnected from
the power supply before

To use your cooker hood:
1) Make sure it has been properly installed.
2) Find the CONTROL PANEL. It is located on the hood’s front
surface near the bottom of the unit.
3) The CONTROL PANEL contains two rows of switches. These perform
separate functions. You will need to understand what both switches do
before you attempt to use your cooker hood.
* Note: The hood should be switched on at least as soon as you start
cooking. It is a good idea to have had it running for 5 minutes prior
to cooking and at least 15 minutes after you have finished cooking.
One row of sliding switches is
for the cooker hood’s
operation
MOTOR ON /OFF switch – the ‘ ’ switch (TOP figure above) turns the motor
on and off and adjusts its speed. There are three speeds, pushing the switch to
the right increases the speeds. The leftmost setting is ‘OFF’. We recommend
using the low speeds in normal conditions, the higher ones for denser odour /
vapour situations.
The other is to control the light.
LIGHT ON/OFF switch - Pressing the ‘ ’ switch (LOWER figure above) turns
your cooker hood’s light on (push left) and off (push right).
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR BAUMATIC COOKER HOOD CAN BE
USED EITHER IN RECIRCULATION MODE OR IN EXTRACTION
MODE. TO USE IN RE-CIRCULATION MODE, YOU WILL NEED TO
FIT THE CARBON FILTER.

* 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
ÂClean the external parts with
mild liquid detergents on a
damp cloth.
ÂNever use abrasive powder,
corrosive solvents or brushes.
ÂNever insert pointed objects
into the motor’s protective grid.
ÂOnly clean the control panel
and filter grill with a damp
cloth and delicate detergents.
ÂBe sure to replace the
carbon filters at the
recommended intervals.
Build up could cause a
fire hazard.
ÂNever take out the
grease filters and
attempt to clean the
space above where they
are set.
________________________________________________
Anti-Grease Grille
ÂYour cooker hood includes an anti-grease grille
which helps absorb vapour-suspended grease
particles to protect your kitchen & furniture from
greasy residues.
ÂThe metal grille may become inflammable if it
becomes saturated with greasy residue.
9To prevent this fire hazard, the grille should be
cleaned regularly (depending on use) every 10-15
days and at least every three months in a dishwasher
or in hot water with normal washing-up detergent.
Cleaning your Baumatic Cooker Hood:

First remove the grille by pulling down on the catches marked H1
and H2 in the above diagram.
-You can now clean the grease filter. Please note
that this will either be:
-1) Synthetic Grease Filter. These are
10/15mm thick and are washable. With normal
domestic use, the synthetic filter should be
washed in lukewarm water at least every 30 days.
-2) Special Paper Filter: not washable (approx.
1 mm thick with pink diagonal). The filter should
be replaced when the stripes become visible
through the holes of the grid.
- 3) Aluminium. This should be washed in the
dishwasher or in soapy water at least once every 30
days for normal use or at more or less frequent
intervals.
