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.
o The hood must be installed in accordance with the installation
instructions and all measurements followed.
o If 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.
o It 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.
o When 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.
* In the case of a reduced ceiling height where the above distances
are not achievable, it is possible to reduce the clearance to an absolute
minimum of 400mm from the highest point of the hob top below.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SET YOUR COOKER HOOD LESS THAN
400MM ABOVE THE HIGHEST POINT ON THE HOB TOP BELOW.

o When installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the cabinets
must not overhang the hob.
o The 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!
o If 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.
o If other types of flue or appliances are fitted, ensure that there is
an adequate supply of air in the room.
o When 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.
o Ensure 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.
o Always put lids on pots and pans when cooking
on a gas cooker.
o The 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.

o Remember that when in extraction mode, your cooker hood is
removing air from your room. Ensure that proper ventilation
measures are being observed.
o Note that it removes odours from your room, not steam.
o Warning - 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.
o Do not connect the ducting system of this appliance to any
existing ventilation system which is being used for any other
purpose.
o Do not install above a cooker with a high level grill.
o Never leave frying pans unattended during use
as overheated fats and oils might catch fire.
o The 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.
o The cooker hood should not be exposed to a direct heat source
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.
o Do 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!
o Never flambé cook under this cooker hood.
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL
RESPONSIBILITY IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE TO
OBSERVE THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN HERE, FOR
INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND SUITABLE
USE OF THE HOOD.
