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 Advice Line.
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:
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.
5

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
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 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.

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.
oNever attempt to clean the area above the grease filters.
oIMPORTANT: You should regularly use a good quality
stainless steel cleaner to maintain the shine and finish on
the stainless steel areas of your cooker hood.
oThis will help to leave a silicone water-resistant film to protect
the stainless steel surfaces and keep them in good condition for
the life of the product.
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 inflammable 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.
12

Maintenance
Removing and cleaning the grease filters
oExtend the telescopic section of the cooker hood.
oRemove the grease filters by
pulling down on the handle and
pulling them away from the
cooker hood.
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.
13

oRepeat the process if required.
oRefit the grease filters once they
have dried.
oIMPORTANT: Let the grease
filters dry thoroughly before
refitting them in the cooker
hood.
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.
14
oPrior to touching the light bulbs ensure that they have cooled

the light fixture which is inside the exposed section of the
canopy.

oUse a screwdriver to remove the glass cover that sits over the
bulb. Unplug the light bulb that needs to be replaced and insert a
new G4 20W (max) bulb. Then replace the glass cover.
oIMPORTANT: Defective bulbs should be replaced immediately.
oIf the lights still do not work, make sure that the bulbs are fitted
properly into their housings before you call for technical
assistance.
Installation
IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage read
all the instructions and make sure that the

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.
Electrical connection
YOUR COOKER HOOD IS INTENDED FOR FITTED AND
PERMANENT INSTALLATION.
oThe cooker hood’s power cable must be fitted upstream from the
electrical connection, using an omni-polar switch with a contact
distance of at least 3 mm. THE FUSE MUST BE RATED AT 3
AMPS.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. It
should only be connected by a competent person, using
fixed wiring via a double pole switched fused spur outlet.
(UK ONLY).
15

We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified
electrician, who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply
with the I.E.E. and local regulations. The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the following UK code:
Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live, Green/Yellow = Ground
If you only find two wires in the main’s lead (blue and brown),
then neither must be connected to the earth terminal.
oAs the colours of the wires in the appliance’s mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your spur box, please proceed as follows:
oThe blue wire must be connected to the
terminal marked “N” (neutral), or coloured
black.
oThe brown wire must be connected to the
terminal marked “L” (live), or coloured red.
Before beginning installation
oCheck that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the
chosen installation area. In addition check whether there is an
electrical socket available that will be accessible once the hood is
mounted. There should also be space to connect a ducting hose
to the outside.
oCarry out all necessary masonry work prior to the fitting of the
cooker hood.
oEnsure that all electrical connections are carried out by a suitably
qualified person.
oBefore commencing installation of the cooker hood the grease
filters should be removed.
oCheck inside the product and insure that there is no transit
packaging or any other materials, such as packets of screws,
guarantees etc. These should be removed and kept for future
use.
oIf possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slot-in cookers
from their position, to provide easier access to the rear wall and
ceiling. If this is not possible, then a thick, protective covering
should be placed over the worktop, hob top or cooker. This will
help to protect these surfaces from damage and debris.
16

oSelect a flat surface for assembling the cooker hood. Cover that
surface with a protective covering and place all cooker hood
parts and fittings on it.
oIn addition check whether there is an electrical socket available,
which will be accessible after the hood is mounted. If you are
going to use the appliance in extractor mode, you should also
ensure that there is space to connect a fumes discharge device
to the outside.
oRawl plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of
walls and ceilings. However a qualified technician must verify the
suitability of the materials, in accordance with the type of wall
and ceiling. The wall and ceiling must be strong enough to take
the weight of the hood.
oDo not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. This
appliance is designed to be surface mounted only.
Installing your cooker hood
oWe recommend that at least two people install
this hood.
oPlease note that the styles of cooker hood shown in the
line drawings in the following pages are sometimes
