Connecting to external ducting
o Connect the coupling to the top of the cooker hood, using two of
the smaller screws provided.
o Connect a 125 mm ducting hose to a discharge outlet that is
suitable for cooking vapours.
o The discharge outlet should have a cross section of at least 150
cm² (please note that the ducting hose is not supplied with the
appliance but one can be obtained from the Baumatic Spares
Department).
o The maximum distance between the coupling and your discharge
outlet should be 3 metre s, with one 90 deg ree bend. For each
additional 90 degree bend, the maximum distance is reduced by
a further metre.
o Before fixing th e cooker hood into the kitch en unit, you should
connect the other end of the ducting hose to the coupling in the
top of the cooker hood.
Completing the installation
If you are setting the appliance to recirculation mode, then you should
now fit the two carbon filters. See the “Fitting the carbon filter” section.
The electrical connection must correspond to the electrical requirement
noted on the rating plate, which is placed inside the cooker hood. The

Extraction mode or recirculation mode?
IMPORTANT: YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE
INSTALLING YOUR COOKER HOOD WHETHE R TO USE
IT IN EXTRACTION MODE OR RECIRCULATION MODE.
What is the difference between extraction and recirculation
modes?
In extraction mode, the stale air will be taken via the grease filter and
out of the room via external ducting.
In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and passed
through a charcoal filter for purification. The air then re-enters the
kitchen via an opening in the hood
.
For optimum performance, we recommend that the cooker hood is
used in extraction mode and connected to external ducting.
Unfortunately if you live in a flat or the hood is too far from an outside
wall, this may not be possible. The only alternative is to recirculate the
air.
Do I need a charcoal filter?
All cooker hoods have a grease filter but if you are using your cooker
hood in recirculation mode, then a charcoal filter must be fitted in
addition to the grease filters.
