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:
Electric cookers: 700 mm
Gas cookers: 700 mm
Coal/ 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.

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.

oRemember that when in extraction mode, your cooker hood is
removing air from your room. Ensure that proper ventilation
measures are being observed.

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.

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.

grease particles to protect your kitchen and furniture from
greasy residues.
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.
