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 DO NOT WASH THE GREASE FILTERS IN A DISHWASHER. Maintenance Removing and cleaning the grease filters o First lift up the cover screen and then remove the grease filters by pulling down on the handle and pulling them away from the cooker hood. o Soak the grease filters in hot water and washing up liquid for at least 3 minutes. Then use a soft brush to loosen any grease deposits that have formed.
o Rinse the grease filters off thoroughly with hot water. o Repeat the process if required. o Refit the grease filters once they have dried and close the cover screen. 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 Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.
o Disconnect the light wiring point and using a screw driver remove the bulb holders and wiring from the hood. IMPORTANT: It is not possible to replace the bulbs individually, it will be necessary to obtain the bulbs, bulb holders and wiring as a complete part. This is available from our Spares Department. o Fit the replacement bulbs, bulb holders and wiring in the same manner as the originals. o Reconnect the light wiring point. o IMPORTANT: Defective bulbs should be replaced immediately.
2) Hook the carbon filter over the pins that are located at the end of the motor. 3) 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 3 - 6 months or if they show signs of damage.
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 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. THE FUSE MUST BE RATED AT 3 AMPS.
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.
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 out of the room via external ducting. In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter(s), and passed through a charcoal filter for purification. The air then re-enters the kitchen via an opening in the hood.
IMPORTANT: YOUR COOKER HOOD SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO YOUR MAINS SUPPLY AFTER THE REST OF THE INSTALLATION PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED. 1) Remove the grease previously described). filters (as 2) Position the hood against the wall that you are intending to install it on and mark the position of the screw holes that are to be drilled (as shown in the figure below).
2a) The support screw holes are indicated by figure A in this drawing and the anchoring screw holes are indicated by figure B. 3) Using a drill bit with an 8 mm diameter, make holes in the wall on the positions that you have marked in step 2. 4) Insert rawl plugs into all of the holes that you have drilled. 5) Fasten the support screws halfway in, leaving them 10 mm out of the wall.
6) Hang the hood onto the support screws. 7) Fully tighten the support screws (A) and then screw the anchoring screws (B) through the relevant holes in the cooker hood. Fully tighten the anchoring screws into the wall.
Connecting to external ducting 8) Connect the coupling to the top of the cooker hood, and then connect a 125 mm ducting hose to the coupling (please note that the ducting hose is not supplied with the appliance). 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.
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 flat 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 fixing bracket to the wall. o Refit chimney section (C) to the hood and fix it onto the hood using the two screws that are supplied. o Secure the top of chimney section (C) to the flat bracket, using the screws provided. o Slide chimney section (D) inside of chimney section (C).
Completing the installation o If you are setting the appliance to recirculation mode, then you should now fit the two carbon filters. See the “Fitting the carbon filters” section on page 13 - 14. o The electrical connection must correspond to the electrical requirement noted on the rating plate, which is placed inside the cooker hood. The appliance should now be connected to the electrical supply. See page 15 for detailed information on the electrical connection.
o If the hood is set up for extraction mode, check that the ducting hose and discharge outlet are not blocked. My cooker hood has switched off during operation. o The safety cut-out device has been tripped. o Turn off the hob and then wait for the safety cut-out device to reset. o IMPORTANT: If you have installed your cooker hood too low, the safety cut-out device will frequently trip. Your cooker hood may become damaged if the safety cut-out device is tripped frequently.
