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:
700mm
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 & must
hang 50mm or more
away from the side of the
hob surfaces.
oThe edges of the cooker

mindful of this as you
handle your appliance,
especially during
installation and cleaning.

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

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.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS:
Your Baumatic Cooker Hood also
has advanced features. These are:
a) Reminder to clean the
Metal Grease Filters
After every 30 hours of use, your
cooker hood’s microprocessor will alert
you to clean the metal grease filters. It
does this by showing a flashing ‘A’
on the display for 5 seconds.
Please ensure that you clean the
filters. Failing to do this could lead to a
damaged cooker hood and / or a fire
hazard.
To cancel the warning message
after cleaning the filters, switch off the
hood, press and hold the MINUS key
(Key No.2 shown on previous page) for
more than 5 seconds. ‘A’ will appear on
the display. After 5 seconds, this
disappears and the microprocessor will
start a new 30 hour (hours-of-use)
countdown until showing the next alert.
b) Your Baumatic Cooker
Hood features an ALERT FUNCTION to
tell you that the CARBON FILTERS need
replacing (if fitted).
If your Hood has carbon filters fitted,
these will purify exhaust fumes. In
time, they will need to be replaced.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL NEED TO
PRIME YOUR COOKER HOOD TO
ENABLE THIS ALERT TO FUNCTION. To
do this:
1) Press and hold the ‘ ’ for
more than 5 seconds.
2) If ‘-’ shows on the display, it
means that your cooker hood
is in the process of detecting
its carbon filters.
3) After 5 seconds, this will
change so that ‘C’ is shown on
the display – meaning that
your cooker hood is using
carbon filters. If it has none
fitted, the ‘-’ will not change.
4) From now on, after every 120
hours of use, your cooker
hood’s microprocessor will
show a flashing ‘C’ on the
display to indicate that it’s
time to change the carbon
filters.
NOTE- you should replace the carbon
filters as prompted to ensure that your
cooker hood’s recirculation system is
working at its best and that hygiene is
maximised.
5) To cancel this alert (IE., when
you want it to reset after you
have changed the carbon
filters, switch off your cooker
hood, press and hold the ‘ ’
key for 5 or more seconds.
The letter ‘C’ will show on the
display for 5 seconds. The
microprocessor will then start
a fresh 120 hours-of-usage
countdown before it will show
the alert again.
PLEASE REMEMBER
THAT YOUR BAUMATIC
COOKER HOOD CAN BE
USED EITHER IN
RECIRCULATION MODE
OR IN EXTRACTION
MODE. THE
RECIRCULATION MODE
CALLS FOR THE FITTING
OF CARBON FILTERS.

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 once a month in a dishwasher or in
hot water with normal washing-up detergent.
