IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Your safety is of the utmost importance to Baumatic. 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 Baumatic Technical Department. IMPORTANT: Any installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
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. o Note that the cooker hood 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 cleaning and replacing light bulbs.

SPEED 1 = SPEED 2 = SPEED 3 = Low speed Medium speed High speed o To switch the halogen light bulbs on, press the LIGHT BULBS ON/OFF button. o The light bulbs can be switched on without the hood being turned on using the LIGHT BULBS ON/OFF button. IMPORTANT: IDEALLY YOU SHOULD TURN ON YOUR HOOD TEN MINUTES BEFORE YOU START TO COOK, OR AT THE VERY LEAST WHEN YOU BEGIN COOKING.
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 MAINS CABLE. Cleaning o Clean the external parts of your cooker hood with mild liquid detergent and a new damp cloth. o Never use abrasive powder, corrosive solvents or brushes. o Never insert pointed objects into the motor’s protective grid.
Maintenance Removing and cleaning the grease filters o First remove the grease filters by pulling down on the handle, and then pull it upwards away from the main body of the cooker hood. 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 cooker hood.
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 12). o Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are completely cooled down. o Find the bulb that requires replacement. You will find that the bulbs are secured into a light fixture which can be found inside the exposed section of the canopy.
Fitting the carbon filters If the appliance is going 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) The UCF1 carbon filter is a universal filter; you do not require all of the parts that are supplied with it.
5) Hook the carbon filter over the pins that are located at the end of the motor. 6) Turn the carbon filter anticlockwise, until you feel it click into place. o Repeat this process for the second carbon filter. You need to place a carbon filter at either end of the motor. o Refit the grease filters. o The carbon filters should be replaced every three months or if they show signs of damage.
Installation IMPORTANT: Before installation 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. The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of the installer failing to observe all the accident prevention regulations in force, which are necessary for normal use and the regular operation of the electric system.
Electrical connection YOUR COOKER HOOD IS INTENDED FOR FITTED AND PERMANENT INSTALLATION. o If not supplied the power cable must be connected to the terminals marked L (live) and N (neutral) in the hood and fixed with a cable clamp. o The cooker hood’s power cable must be fitted upstream from the electrical connection, using an omni-polar switch with a contact distance of at least 3 mm. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE EARTHED.
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 cooker hood.
Installing your cooker hood IMPORTANT: YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR COOKER HOOD 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 The cooker hood should not be exposed to a direct heat source from the cooking device underneath it, i.e. naked flame from a gas burner or heat from electric hob zones without a pan on them. o We recommend that at two people install this hood.
1) Remove the metal grease filters. 2) Create an opening in the underneath of the kitchen unit; the cutout must be of the dimensions shown in the drawing above. IMPORTANT: If you are going to connect your cooker hood to external ducting, then you must complete the steps listed in the “Connecting to external ducting” section before carrying on with the rest of the installation (this information can be found on page 22).
5) Lift the cooker hood fully into the cut out that you made in step 2. If you are connecting the cooker hood to external ducting, then secure the ducting hose to the coupling on top of the appliance. o One person should support the hood. The other person should fully tighten the four support screws through the holes in the outer frame of the hood, into the kitchen unit. Make sure that all four of the support screws are fully tightened.
Connecting to external ducting o Connect the coupling to the top of the cooker hood, using two of the smaller screws provided. o Connect a 125 mm ducting hose to a discharge outlet that is suitable for cooking vapours. It should have a cross section of at least 150 cm² (please note that the ducting hose is not supplied with the appliance but is available from the Baumatic Spares Department). 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? IMPORTANT: YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR COOKER HOOD WHETHER TO USE IT IN EXTRACTION MODE OR RECIRCULATION MODE. What is the difference between extraction and recirculation modes? In extraction mode, the stale air will be taken via the grease filter and out of the room via external ducting. 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 power supply and whether you have selected any of the fan speeds. My cooker hood is not working effectively. o Check that fan speed is set to an appropriate setting. o Check that the grease filter is not dirty and if it requires cleaning.
