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

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.

o When installing the hood,

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

9 Electric cookers

700 mm

9 Gas cookers

700mm

9 Coal/ oil cookers

800 mm

DO NOT SET YOUR

o When installed between

adjoining wall cabinets,
the cabinets must not
overhang the hob & must
hang 50mm or more
away from the side of the
hob surfaces.

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.

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.

and pans when cooking
on a gas cooker.

o

The manufacturer
refuses to accept any
responsibility for
damages arising to the
hood or its 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!

Cleaning your Baumatic Cooker Hood: 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 filter 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 anti-grease grilles which

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

 The metal grilles may become inflammable if they

become saturated with greasy residue.

9 To prevent this fire hazard, the grilles should be

cleaned regularly (depending on use) every 10-15
days and at least once a month in a dishwasher or in
hot water with normal washing-up detergent.

9

Maintenance - Cleaning the Anti-grease Filters

First remove the grille by pulling down on it. Undo the
side catches.

You can now clean the anti-grease filter grilles.

9 Soak them for about one hour in hot water with a

grease-loosening detergent then rinse off thoroughly
with hot water.

9 Repeat the process if needed. Refit the grease grille

once it has dried.

To clean the grease filter grilles in your dishwasher:

9 Place the grease filter grilles in the dishwasher. Select the most

powerful washing programme and highest temperature.

9 Repeat the process, if necessary.

9 Refit the grease grilles when dry.

9 PLEASE NOTE: DISCOLOURATION OF THE GREASE

FILTER CAN TAKE PLACE WHEN CLEANED IN A
DISHWASHER, ETC. Do not worry about the slight
discolouration of the grille – its performance won’t
be affected.

Let the filter grilles dry thoroughly before refitting
them.

10

Maintenance – Changing the Light Bulb and Carbon Filter

a) Changing the light bulb

9 Before changing the light bulb, ensure that the appliance is not live (i.e., ensure

that you have switched it off so that it’s in the ‘0’ position).

9 Remove the metal anti-grease filters (see Figure 2 below) and find the old bulb

located in the light fixture up inside the exposed canopy. Change the halogen bulb
only halogen spares with an E14 coupling, max. 50W.

using

* PLEASE NOTE - Defective bulbs should be replaced immediately.

9 Replace the metal anti-grease filters.

Installing / Changing the Carbon Filter

______________________________________________________________________________________

Installing / Changing the Carbon Filter

.

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

You will find that one filter will attach to the fan motor’s
front (please see figures at bottom of page).

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

Changing the Carbon Filters

1) Remove the grease filter grilles.

2) Find the old carbon filter on top of the
fan motor.

3) Undo the side clasps to release the old
carbon filter.

4) Place the new carbon filter, ensuring
that the clasps are set in place.

5) Replace the grease filter grilles.

6) Reposition the anti-grease metallic filter grilles.

Extraction / Air Purifier Modes of Operation

EXTRACTION OPERATION – Installation Instructions

 Ensure that you have fitted the

union (‘N’) to the upper part of the
hood using the packaged two
screws supplied inside the packing
(Fig. 1 – on right). Using a 125 mm
diameter pipe, connect the union
(N) on the upper part of the hood
(see Fig. 1) to the discharge outlet
for cooking vapours with a cross­section of at least 150 cm

 PLEASE NOTE: If there is no

discharge outlet and the hood is to
be fitted to an outside wall of the
building, make a hole in the wall
that is large enough to fit a wind
and rain-proof shutter with a cross
section of at least 150 cm
connect this to the outlet union of
the unit by means of a pipe.

AIR PURIFIER OPERATION - Installation Instructions

The cooker hood can be converted to work as an air purifier in the
event that there is no provision for an external air discharge duct.

In this case, air is recycled through the vent ‘R’ (Fig. 1 – above).
When using the unit as an air purifier, you need to install two active
carbon filters to absorb cooking vapours (please see page 11).

Please note: For the air purifying function, you will need to connect
the spigot (‘N’ in fig. 1 above) to the connecting piece which is
provided. See figure on left.
