Specifications of your Q900SS Cooker Hood

Important Safety Information: Please Read this before installing & using.
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
observed between the highest
point on the hob top (including the
burners) 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
odegrees 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.
o Keep 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.
o Your cooker hood is for
domestic use only.
o Please dispose of the
packing material
carefully – children are
especially vulnerable to
it.
o Dirty oil is an even
greater fire risk.

and pans when cooking
on a gas cooker.
o The manufacturer
refuses to accept any
responsibility for
damages arising to the
hood or its catching on
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.
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.
:Do not connect the
ducting system of this
appliance to any existing

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 front of the canopy.
3) The CONTROL PANEL contains switches 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.
A) MOTOR ON /OFF switch – the ‘ ’ switch (‘A’ in
figure above) turns the motor on and off and adjusts
its speed. There are three speeds.
B) LIGHT ON/OFF switch - Pressing the ‘ ’ switch (‘B’
in figure above) turns your cooker hood’s light on
and off.
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.

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.
