o Any installation work must be
carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person.
o The 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
Dptmt.
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.
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.
Important Safety Information: Please Read this before installing & using.

5
oEnsure the ducting for
the extractor function
has the same diameter as
the outlet hole all the
way through.
o Keep young children from

To use your cooker hood:
1) Make sure it has been properly installed.
2) Find the CONTROL PANEL. It is located at the bottom of the
hood on the underside, at the right-hand side of the canopy.
3) The CONTROL PANEL contains buttons as shown in the Figure
below. 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.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR BAUMATIC COOKER HOOD CAN BE
USED EITHER IN RECIRCULATION MODE OR IN EXTRACTION
MODE. TO USE THE EXTRACTOR IN RE-CIRCULATION MODE,
YOU WILL NEED TO FIT THE 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.

First remove the grille by pulling down on it. Undo the
side catches.
You can now clean the anti-grease filter grilles.
9Soak them for about one hour in hot water with a
grease-loosening detergent then rinse off thoroughly
with hot water.
9Repeat the process if needed. Refit the grease grille
once it has dried.
To clean the grease filter grilles in your dishwasher:
9Place the grease filter grilles in the dishwasher. Select the most
powerful washing programme and highest temperature.
9Repeat the process, if necessary.
9Refit the grease grilles when dry.
9PLEASE NOTE: DISCOLOURATION OF THE GREASE
FILTER CAN TAKE PLACE WHEN CLEANED IN A
DISHWASHER, ETC. Do not worry about the slight
discolouration of the grille – its performance won’t
be affected.
Let the filter grilles dry thoroughly before refitting
them.

______________________________________________________________________________________
Installing / Changing the Carbon Filter.
Your Baumatic Cooker Hood uses a pair of CARBON
FILTERS to purify the air for the air recirculation function.
You will find that the filters will attach to both sides of the
fan motor (please see figures at bottom of page).
The active carbon filters must be replaced regularly, at least once
every three months, to allow normal operation.
Before starting to fit the carbon filter, turn the omni-polar switch
off at the wall.
Changing the Carbon Filters
1) Press the handle of the metal grease
filter towards the rear part of the unit
until it is released from the front
housing, and remove it by pressing
downwards (Fig. 2 - above).
2) Remove the old carbon filters by
twisting them anticlockwise until they
unlatch from the sides of the motor.
3) Place the new carbon filters (which
have two fixing tongues), turning
clockwise so that the tongues latch
onto the motor’s sides. (Fig. 3 - left).
4) Reposition the anti-grease metallic filter grilles.
