Using your Baumatic Cooker Hood:

To use your cooker hood:

1) Make sure it has been properly installed.

2) Find the CONTROL PANEL. It is located on the hood’s front
surface near the bottom of the unit.

3) The CONTROL PANEL contains two rows of switches. 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. It is a good idea to have had it running for 5 minutes prior
to cooking and at least 15 minutes after you have finished cooking.

One row of sliding switches is
for the cooker hood’s
operation

MOTOR ON /OFF switch – the ‘ ’ switch (TOP figure above) turns the motor
on and off and adjusts its speed. There are three speeds, pushing the switch to
the right increases the speeds. The leftmost setting is ‘OFF’. We recommend
using the low speeds in normal conditions, the higher ones for denser odour /
vapour situations.

LIGHT ON/OFF switch - Pressing the ‘ ’ switch (LOWER figure above) turns
your cooker hood’s light on (push left) and off (push right).

The other is to control the light.

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR BAUMATIC COOKER HOOD CAN BE
USED EITHER IN RECIRCULATION MODE OR IN EXTRACTION
MODE. TO USE IN RE-CIRCULATION MODE, YOU WILL NEED TO
FIT THE CARBON FILTER.

Cleaning your Baumatic Cooker Hood:

* IMPORTANT!:

Before cleaning, always ensure that you
have switched your cooker hood OFF at the omni-polar
switch, set at the wall from the cable:

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 every three months in a dishwasher
or in hot water with normal washing-up detergent.

Maintenance - Cleaning the Anti-grease Filter

Grease Filter
Release

First remove the grille by pulling down on the catches marked H1
and H2 in the above diagram.

- You can now clean the grease filter. Please note
that this will either be:

- 1) Synthetic Grease Filter. These are
10/15mm thick and are washable. With normal
domestic use, the synthetic filter should be
washed in lukewarm water at least every 30 days.

- 2) Special Paper Filter: not washable (approx.
1 mm thick with pink diagonal). The filter should
be replaced when the stripes become visible
through the holes of the grid.

- 3) Aluminium. This should be washed in the

dishwasher or in soapy water at least once every 30
days for normal use or at more or less frequent
intervals.

_________________________________________________________________________

The hood can be

ducted from the

top or rear: Fig

2.1 , or can be

used in
recirculation
mode by adding

carbon filters: Fig 2.2

11

Installing / Changing the Carbon Filter

Your Baumatic Cooker Hood uses CARBON FILTERS to purify the air for the
air recirculation function.

You will find that one filter will attach over the front of the fan motor (please
see figure at bottom of page).

The active carbon filter must be replaced regularly, at least once every four
months, to allow normal operation.
Before starting to fit the carbon filter, turn the omni-polar switch to ‘0’.

Changing the Carbon Filters – Note: carbon filters cannot be cleaned!

3) Place the new carbon filter (which
has two fixing tongues), turning
clockwise so that the tongues
latch onto the motor’s sides.
(lower right figure on left).

4) Replace the anti-grease
metallic filter grille.

1) Remove the metal grease filter grille
(see page 9), and find the carbon
filter assembly up inside the unit.

2) Remove the old carbon filter by
twisting it anticlockwise until it
unlatches from the side of the
motor.

NOTE
If your filter is different (i.e.
is the Bayonet Circular­insert type,
Position the filter in order to
cover the motor protection
grille, ensuring that the ‘X’
on the filter lines up with
the ‘Y’ on the conveyor.
Then turn clockwise.
Reverse to dismount.

Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a
qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of
wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood. Do not tile,

grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.
Before beginning installation:

• Remove the fats filter/s or the suction grill/s (depending on the model in possession –see also

the relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted once installation is completed.

• Remove the active carbon (*) filter/s if supplied (see also relative paragraph). This/these

is/are to be mounted only if you want to use the hood in the filtering version.

• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside the hood (e.g.

packets with screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing them and keeping them.

• In addition check whether near the installation area of the hood (in the area accessible also

with the hood mounted) an electric socket is available and it is possible to connect a fumes
discharge device to the outside (only suction version).

• Choose the discharge outlet to use:
Only filtering version: use ONLY the upper B1 outlet (Fig. 2 - Fig. 2.2). Check that this,

once installation is completed, is not obstructed and that there is sufficient space so that the
purified fumes and steam can return easily into the kitchen.

(Fig. 3.1) Take away the pre-fractured part (B1 o B2) that closes the discharge outlet and

remove it.

Install the connection ring on the open discharge outlet (Fig. 3.2 bayonet embedded) or the

deflector (*). (Fig. 3.3).

Check that the lateral wall units between which to install the hood are sufficiently robust for
installing the hood.
Otherwise mount the hooking brackets on the wall (*) to use as additional supports:

a. Insert each bracket from the rear inside the hood through the opposite slots (Fig. 4.1—Fig.

4.2).

b. Fix the brackets with the screws and threaded bushes (Fig. 4.3).

Screw the headless screws halfway. They will serve to adjust the position of the hood at the

moment of installation.
Note: the position of the brackets can be adjusted during installation, suitably loosening and
retightening the screws that fix them to the hood. (Fig. 7 - S1-S2).

Installing the aesthetic panel (*)
a. Extract the steam collector (freeing it from the blocking hooks - Fig. 5).
b. Put perforation diagram N3 on the REAR of aesthetic panel J (the arrow on the diagram

turned upward towards the UPPER EDGE of the aesthetic panel). Fig. 6
c. Make BLIND HOLES K as indicated. Fig. 6
d. Put the steam collector over the aesthetic panel and fix it with 8 screws L. Fig. 6
e. Remount the door on the hood, first on upper guides M1, then on the lower M2. Fig. 6
f. Close completely and re-open the door to check its correct sliding on the guides.

Installation
a. Use perforation diagram N2 (*). Position the diagram on the front edges of the wall unit

(right wall unit, B side) – (left wall unit, C side) WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE

THICKNESS OF THE DOORS, and make the holes as indicated. Fig. 8
b. If necessary, fix the hood to the wall, putting template N1 (*) on the wall so its upper edge

coincides with the upper edge of template N2 (*). Fig. 7-8
c. Make the holes as indicated. Fix 2 hooks (*) R to the wall with screws and dowels. Fig. 7
d. In case the thickness of the lateral wall units is 16mm, put, with embedded fixing, the O (*)

spacers at the sides of the hood in correspondence with the holes used for the passage of the

fixing screws to the lateral wall units. Fig. 8.

e. Hang the hood onto the hooks (*) and adjust the position of the hood with headless screws

S1 and adjusting the position of the hooking brackets with screws S2. Fig. 7
f. Fix the hood to the lateral wall units with 4 screws P. Fig. 8
g. Mount the lower corner Q (*) to the hood with two screws and plastic washers T. They
will serve to cover possible spaces between the rear of the hood and the wall. Fig. 7
