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 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. o Do not connect the ducting system of this appliance to any existing ventilation system which is being used for any other purpose.

Changing a light bulb IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE COOKER HOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY. o Remove the grease filters (as described on page 11). o Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are 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. o Unscrew the light bulb that needs to be replaced and insert a new E14 40W (max) bulb.
Fitting the carbon filter 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 COOKER HOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY. 1) Remove the grease filters. 2) Turn the switch on the motor to recirculation mode before fitting 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 filters.
You will only find two wires in the main’s lead (blue and brown), neither must be connected to the earth terminal. o As the colours of the wires in the appliance’s mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your spur box, please proceed as follows: o The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked “N” (neutral), or coloured black. o The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked “L” (live), or coloured red.
o In addition check whether there is an electrical socket available, which will be accessible after the hood is mounted. If you are going to use the appliance in extractor mode, you should also ensure that there is space to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside. o Raw plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls and ceilings. However a qualified technician must verify the suitability of the materials, in accordance with the type of wall and ceiling.
Connecting to external ducting (part 1) IMPORTANT: If you are going to duct your product externally, then you must follow these steps before following the rest of the installation instructions. o Place the hood against the wall that you are going to install it on and mark the position of the exhaust hole. This hole needs to be 130 mm in diametre. Please note that the vent hose can either be connected to the rear of the appliance or to the top. (See above diagram).
Installing your cooker hood (part 2) 1) Place the hood against the wall and mark the positions for the supporting bracket bolt holes. o The hood can either be secured to the underneath of a cupboard or secured to the wall behind the hood. o You should mark the holes that are relevant to the installation that you are going to complete. 2a) Using a drill bit with a 6 mm diameter, make holes in the cupboard/in the wall on the positions that you have marked in step 1.
3) Hang the cooker hood on the upper support screws and then insert the bottom support screws. IMPORTANT: For external ducting, please refer to the section below, before fully tightening the support screws. o Fully tighten the top and bottom support screws. Connecting to external ducting (part 2) Your hood will be set up so that the ducting hose collar and ducting hose can be connected to the hole in the top of the hood.
o Connect a 125 mm ducting hose to the ducting hose collar (please note that the ducting hose is not supplied with the appliance). o The other end of the ducting hose should be connected to your 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.
Extraction mode or recirculation mode? What is the difference between extraction and recirculation modes? To get optimum performance from your cooker, the air will be taken out of the room via 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. In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and passed through a charcoal filter for purification.
Troubleshooting IMPORTANT: If your cooker hood appears not to be operating properly, before contacting the Baumatic Service Department, please refer to the checklist below. My cooker hood will not start. o Check that the hood is connected to the electricity supply o Check that the fan speed control is set correctly. My cooker hood is not working effectively. o The fan speed is not set high enough o The grease filter is dirty and requires cleaning. o The kitchen is not well ventilated enough.
