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 information contained in this
booklet, please contact the Baumatic Technical
Department.
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 in any way. 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:
¾ Electric cookers: 700 mm
¾ Gas cookers: 700 mm
¾ Coal/ oil cookers: 800 mm
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SET YOUR COOKER HOOD LESS
THAN 700mm ABOVE YOUR COOKER.
o When installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the cabinets
must not overhang the hob.
5
Page 6
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 failure to
observe fire safety advice in these instructions.
6
Page 7
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.
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 Do not leave naked flames under the cooker
hood.
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.

If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slot-in cookers
from their position, to provide easier access to the rear w
