Your safety is of the utmost importance to us. Please make sure that you read this instruction booklet before attempting to install or use the appliance. If you are unsure of any of the information contained in this booklet, please contact the Retailer where you purchased your unit from. 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 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 rangehood.
o Warning - Always ensure that the rangehood 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.

Using your Baumatic rangehood Before first use IMPORTANT: THIS PROCESS MUST BE FOLLOWED BEFORE THE RANGEHOOD IS USED FOR THE FIRST TIME. o You should use a good quality stainless steel cleaner and polish on ALL of the stainless steel areas of your rangehood, before it is used for the first time. o This will help to leave a silicone water-resistant film to protect the stainless steel surfaces.
IMPORTANT: IDEALLY YOU SHOULD SWITCH ON YOUR HOOD TEN MINUTES BEFORE YOU START TO COOK, OR AT THE VERY LEAST WHEN YOU BEGIN COOKING. YOU SHOULD ALSO RUN YOUR HOOD FOR TEN MINUTES AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED COOKING. Cleaning your Baumatic rangehood IMPORTANT: BEFORE CLEANING, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE SWITCHED YOUR RANGEHOOD OFF AT THE OMNI-POLAR SWITCH, SET AT THE WALL FROM THE CABLE. Cleaning o Clean the external parts of your rangehood with mild liquid detergent and a new damp cloth.
Maintenance Removing and cleaning the grease filters o First remove the grease filters by pulling down on the handle and pulling them away from the rangehood. o Soak the grease filters in hot water and washing up liquid for about an hour. o Rinse them off thoroughly with hot water. o Repeat the process if required. o Refit the grease filters once they have dried. o IMPORTANT: Let the grease filters dry thoroughly before refitting them in the rangehood.
Changing a light bulb IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE RANGEHOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY. o Remove the grease filter (as described on page 12). o Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure that they have cooled down. o Find the bulb that requires replacement, you will find it located in the light fixture which is inside the exposed section of the canopy.
Fitting the carbon filters (ST2 carbon filters) If the appliance is being used to be used in recirculation mode then it is necessary to fit carbon filters. This will help to absorb unpleasant odours caused by cooking. IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FIT OR REMOVE THE CARBON FILTERS, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE RANGEHOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY. 1) Remove the grease filters. 2) Press the carbon filter against one end of the motor, the fixing point is in the centre of the carbon filter.
Installation IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage read all the instructions and make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the rating plate are exactly the same as the voltage and frequency in your home. The rating plate can be found behind the grease filter.
Before beginning installation o Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area. In addition check whether there is an electrical socket available that will be accessible once the hood is mounted. If the product is going to be used in extraction mode, then there should also be space to connect a ducting hose to the outside. o Carry out all necessary masonry work prior to the fitting of the rangehood.
Installing your rangehood IMPORTANT: YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR RANGEHOOD WHETHER TO USE IT IN EXTRACTION MODE OR RECIRCULATION MODE. PLEASE TURN TO PAGE 23 NOW TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE TWO MODES. o We recommend that at least two people install this hood. IMPORTANT: YOUR RANGEHOOD SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO YOUR MAINS SUPPLY AFTER THE REST OF THE INSTALLATION PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED. 1) Remove the metal grease filters.
2) Drill 3 x 8mm holes to hold the canopy bracket, ensuring that it is positioned to accommodate the minimum clearances of the hood above the hob (700mm). Screw and tighten the bracket onto the wall with the screws & rawl plugs provided. Holes on wall Screw (4mm x 30mm) Screw plug Wall bracket NOTE: We supply a generic set of fixings that are not suitable for every type of wall. Please ensure the correct screws and rawl plugs are used. This will depend on the wall the hood is to be installed on.
Connecting to external ducting 4) Connect a 150 mm ducting hose to the coupling (please note that the ducting hose is not supplied with the appliance). There is a 120mm adapter should this be required. o The other end of the ducting hose should be connected to a discharge outlet that is suitable for cooking vapours. It should have a cross section of at least 150 cm². o The maximum distance between the coupling and your discharge outlet should be 3 metres, with one 90 degree bend.
Fitting the chimney 9) Take the two chimney sections (C) and (D). o Rest the bottom of chimney section (C) on the top of the hood. o Mark the side measurement of both sides of the chimney section (C) on the wall with a pencil. 10) Lift chimney section (D) upwards until it reaches the ceiling. You must ensure that it is perpendicular to the hood. o Mark the side measurements of both sides of chimney section (D) on the wall with a pencil and then remove chimney section (D).
11) Take the lower chimney section wall fixing bracket (E) and place it between the two pencil marks that you made in step 9 o Keeping the bracket in contact with the wall, use a pencil to mark on the wall the anchoring holes that are cut out of the bracket. 12) Using an 8 mm drill bit, drill out two holes on the pencil markings that you made in step 11. Insert rawl plugs into the holes and then use a screwdriver to secure the lower chimney fixing bracket to the wall.
o Slide chimney section (D) inside of chimney section (C). Then secure the bracket to the wall, using the same method as you have just used to secure the lower bracket. Screw (4mmx8mm) Rawl plug Screw (4mmx30mm) Plate II 13) Lift chimney section (D) up to the ceiling and secure it to the bracket using the screws provided. Completing the installation o If you are setting the appliance to recirculation mode, then you should now fit the two carbon filters.
Extraction mode or recirculation mode? What is the difference between extraction and recirculation modes? o To get optimum performance from your cooker, the air will be taken out of the room via external ducting. o 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. o In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and passed through a charcoal filter for purification.
