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 FILTER! 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 the room it is installed in. Ensure that proper ventilation measures are being observed. Note that it removes odours from the 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.

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 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. o Only clean the control panel and grease filters with mild liquid detergents and a new damp cloth.
Maintenance Removing and cleaning the grease filters o Remove the grease filters by lifting up the catch and then pull the filters away from the 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 fluorescent bulb IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE A FLUORESCENT TUBE, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE COOKER HOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY. o Prior to touching a fluorescent tube, ensure that it has cooled down. o Unscrew the fixing screws and remove the panel that covers the fluorescent tube that needs replacing. o Remove the fluorescent tube by rotating it through 90°.
Fitting the carbon filter If the appliance is going to be used in recirculation mode then it is necessary to fit a carbon filter. This will help to absorb unpleasant odours caused by cooking. IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FIT OR REMOVE THE CARBON FILTER, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE COOKER HOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY. o Remove the grease filters. 1) Locate the SCS14 carbon filter into the slots on the cooker hood, below the motor.
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 of your home. The rating plate can be found behind the grease filters, on the motor.
We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified electrician, who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply with the I.E.E. and local regulations. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following UK code: Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live, Green/Yellow = Ground If you only find two wires in the main’s lead (blue and brown), then neither must be connected to the earth terminal.
o Select a flat surface for assembling the cooker hood. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all cooker hood parts and fittings on it. o Rawlplugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of ceilings. However a qualified technician must verify the suitability of the materials, in accordance with the type of ceiling. The ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood. o Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the ceiling.
Installing your cooker hood o We recommend that at least two people install this hood. IMPORTANT: THE MAINS SUPPLY THAT YOUR COOKER HOOD IS CONNECTED TO MUST NOT BE SWITCHED ON UNTIL AFTER THE REST OF THE INSTALLATION PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED. 1) Identify the framework. The side that has the two fully visible circles in it will be where the control panel is positioned when installation is complete.
3) Lift the framework to the ceiling and mark the position of the 4 screw holes that are indicated by the arrows in figure 3. 4) Remove the framework from the ceiling. Using a drill bit with an 8 mm diametre, drill out the holes on the ceiling that you have just marked and insert rawlplugs into them. 5) Fasten the framework to the ceiling, using the screws provided. 6) Adjust the inner and outer chimney sections to your required height.
7) Lift the chimney section up to the framework and then fasten it to the framework using the 4 x M4 metric screws supplied. The chimney section should be fixed to the existing holes in the framework. IMPORTANT: Do not tighten these screws completely at this stage. IMPORTANT: If you are going to connect the cooker hood to external ducting, then you must follow the “Connecting to external ducting” section on page 24 before proceeding with the steps below.
o Raise the upper chimney section to the framework again and retighten the 4 M4 screws. At this stage, they still should not be fully tightened. 12) There are two decorative side pieces (H) that should be used to cover the grooves in the inner chimney section. o Use an appropriate tool to cut the decorative side pieces to your required length. The length of the side pieces will be governed by how high you need to raise the inner chimney section.
14) Secure the lower chimney section to the hood with the screws provided. IMPORTANT: Make sure that these screws are fully tightened. Completing the installation The electrical connection should have already been completed at step 11 as per the electrical connection information on pages 15 – 16. At this stage you can now switch on your mains supply. Fit the grease filters (and charcoal filter if you are using the appliance in recirculation mode).
Installing the appliance at minimum height 1) If you are installing the product at minimum height, then you need to remove the 10 screws from the framework, including the 2 pre-tightened screws. Separate the inner and outer sections of the framework. 2) Remove the 4 rivets that hold the upper plates onto the inner framework. 3) Fix the upper plates to the outer section of the framework to make it stable, using 4 of the screws that you have removed in step 1.
Connecting to external ducting o You may find an anti-draft flap included with the fixtures and fittings for the cooker hood. If you are going to duct the product externally, you should fit this as shown in the circular hole on top of the motor. o Connect the coupling (D) to the top of the cooker hood. o Connect a 125 mm ducting hose to a discharge outlet that is suitable for cooking vapours.
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 filters are not dirty and if they require cleaning.
