Frequently Asked Questions - BE600GL BAUMATIC

How do I clean the grease filter?
Remove the grease filter and soak it in hot water with washing-up liquid for at least 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and let it dry completely before refitting. Do not wash in a dishwasher.
How often should I replace the carbon filter?
Replace the carbon filter every 3 to 6 months or when it shows signs of damage. The carbon filter is only required if the hood is used in recirculation mode.
What is the recommended installation height above the hob?
The minimum distance between the hob and the bottom of the hood should be 700 mm for electric and gas cookers, and 800 mm for coal or oil cookers.
How do I change a light bulb?
Disconnect the hood from the power supply. Remove the grease filter, then use a screwdriver to remove the glass cover over the bulb. Replace with a G4 20W max halogen bulb and reassemble.
Can I use the hood without the grease filter?
No, never operate the hood without the grease filter fitted. The filter protects the motor and reduces fire risk from grease buildup.
Why is my cooker hood not working effectively?
Check the fan speed setting, clean the grease filter, ensure the kitchen is ventilated, and if in recirculation mode, replace the carbon filter. For extraction mode, check for blocked ducting.
What is the difference between extraction and recirculation modes?
Extraction removes air to the outside via ducting. Recirculation passes air through a charcoal filter and returns it to the kitchen. Recirculation requires a carbon filter.
How do I set up the hood for recirculation mode?
Fit carbon filters (model S1) onto the motor by hooking them over the pins and turning anticlockwise until they click. Ensure the hood is disconnected from power before installation.
What should I do if the hood switches off during operation?
The safety cut-out device may have tripped. Turn off the hob and wait for the device to reset. Avoid installing the hood too low to prevent frequent tripping.
Does the cooker hood require earthing?
Yes, the appliance must be earthed. Connect the green/yellow wire to the earth terminal. Use a 3A fuse and a double pole switched fused spur outlet.

BAUMATIC BE600GL - Completing the installation - 1

Refit the grease filter and then switch on the mains supply to the appliance. Check that the appliance is operating correctly by selecting each speed and switching the light bulbs on and off.

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. The air then re-enters the kitchen via an opening in the hood.

What is a charcoal filter and do I need one?

All cooker hoods have a grease filter but if you are using your cooker hood in recirculation mode, then charcoal filters must be fitted in addition to the grease filter.

Troubleshooting

IMPORTANT: If your cooker hood appears not to be operating properly, before contacting the Customer Care Department, please refer to the checklist below.

Please note that if an engineer is asked to attend whilst the product is under guarantee and finds that the problem is not the result of an appliance fault, then you may be liable for the cost of the call out charge.

The appliance must be accessible for the engineer to perform any necessary repair. If your appliance is installed in such a way that an engineer is concerned that damage will be caused to the appliance or your kitchen, then he will not complete a repair.

This includes situations where appliances have been tiled in, sealed in with sealant, have wooden obstructions placed in front of the appliance, like plinths. Or any installation other than the one specified by Baumatic Ltd. has been completed.

Please refer to the conditions of guarantee that appear on the warranty card that you receive with the appliance.
