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.

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
Dptmt.

o It 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.

ensure that the following
recommended distances are being
observed between the cooker top
and the bottom of the cooker hood:

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.

Important Safety Information: Please Read this before installing & using.

6

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’s 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.

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.

: Do not connect the

ducting system of this
appliance to any existing
ventilation system which
is being used for any
other purpose.

: Do not install above a

cooker with a high level
grill.

:

Never leave frying pans
unattended during use as
overheated fats and oils
might catch fire.

:

Do not leave naked
flames under the cooker
hood.

: 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!

:

Never flambé cook under
this cooker hood

Cleaning your Baumatic Cooker Hood:

IMPORTANT:

Before cleaning, always ensure that you have

switched your cooker hood OFF at the power supply switch.

Cleaning

 Clean the external parts with

mild liquid detergents on a
damp cloth.

 Never use abrasive powder,

corrosive solvents or brushes.

 Never insert pointed objects

into the motor’s protective grid.

 Only clean the control panel

and filter grill with a damp
cloth and delicate detergents.

________________________________________________

 Be sure to replace the

carbon filters at the
recommended intervals.
Build up could cause a
fire hazard.

 Never take out the

grease filters and
attempt to clean the
space above where they
are set.

Anti-Grease Grille

 Your cooker hood includes an anti-grease grille

which helps absorb vapour-suspended grease
particles to protect your kitchen & furniture from
greasy residues.

 The metal grille may become inflammable if it

becomes saturated with greasy residue.

9 To prevent this fire hazard, the grille should be

cleaned regularly (depending on use) every 10-15

days and at least once a month in hot water with

normal washing-up detergent. DO NOT USE A

DISHWASHER TO ACHIEVE THIS.

4) Reposition the anti-grease metallic filter grilles.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – Electrical Connection.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - Electrical

Before installation and usage, read all the instructions and make sure that the
voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the identification plate (found
inside your Cooker Hood) and all the data inside the appliance are exactly the
same as the voltage and frequency in your home.

NOTE: The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of failure to observe all the
accident-prevention regulations in force which are necessary for normal use and regular
operation of the electric system.

Touch Control Panel Operation

THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS ON YOUR COOKER HOOD HAVE
MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS:

FEATURES:

Start and Increase Speed (6 speeds)

The Cooker hood motor is turned on by pressing button 1. The hood
automatically sets itself to speed Level 1 when activated. Speed is
increased by pressing button 1 for less than 1 second; a dedicated
screen displays the speed level.
Keeping button 1 pressed longer than 1 second top speed is selected.

Motor stopping and speed decreasing

The fan operating speed is decreased by pressing button 2 for less
than 1 second; the display indicates the speed level.
Keeping button 1 pressed longer than 1 second turns the hood off.

Timer Function

This function allows you to program the cooker hood’s motor and lights
in order to have them automatically switched off 15 minutes after you
have activated this function. To program: press button 3.
When timer function is activated you will see the number displayed
pulsing on and off.

Light on-off function
Light is turned on and off by pressing button 4.

Touch Control Panel Operation- continued:

Specific features

Your cooker hood’s electronic system is equipped with special functions
designed to facilitate maintenance and correct utilisation.

Metal filters cleaning required warning

Every 30 hours of utilisation the microprocessor warns the user, by
means of a pulsing “A” on the display, that it is time to clean the anti­grease metal filters. Cleaning the filters will guarantee better ducting
performance and improved hygiene. To delete this prompt, once the
filters have been cleaned and with the cooker hood off (not powered),
hold buttons 2 and 3 pressed for more than 4 seconds: on the screen
the number “8” will be displayed, it will disappear after 4 seconds.
The microprocessor will reset the filters’s cleaning clock and begin the
countdown to the next prompt.

Carbon filters cleaning warning (only if mounted)

If your cooker hood utilises the re-circulation air filtering system, and
therefore is equipped with active carbon filters to purify the re­circulated air, it is necessary to set the Cooker hood controls
accordingly. While the hood is not in operation, hold button 3 for more
than 4 seconds. On the screen will be displayed the symbol “-” (this
means that the hood, for the time being, is not utilising the carbon
filter), this symbol will be replaced after 4 seconds by the letter “C”
(this means that the hood is now using the Carbon Filter).
From now on the microprocessor will prompt for “Carbon
Filters cleaning required” every 120 hours of utilisation by displaying a
pulsing “C” on the screen. Cleaning the filter will guarantee better
ducting performance and improved hygiene. To delete this prompt,
once the filters have been replaced and with the cooker hood off (not
powered), hold buttons no. 1 and no.3 pressed for more than 4
seconds: on the screen will be displayed the number “8”, it will
disappear after 4 seconds hence the microprocessor will reset the
filter’s cleaning clock and begin to count the 120 hours to the next
prompt for filters cleaning.
