Frequently Asked Questions - CAN52.4ME BAUMATIC

How do I install the Baumatic CAN52.4ME range hood?

Installation should be done by a qualified person. Ensure the hood is at least 700 mm above a gas or electric hob (800 mm for coal/oil). Use 125 mm ducting for extraction mode. Secure the hood to the underside of a cabinet using the provided screws. Connect the electrical wiring as per the manual, following the UK color code (blue = neutral, brown = live). For recirculation mode, install a carbon filter.

How do I clean the grease filter?

Remove the grease filter grille by turning the two lugs. Clean the metal filter by hand in hot water with detergent, or in a dishwasher on a low temperature, short cycle. Ensure it is completely dry before refitting. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Clean every 10-15 days or at least every three months.

How do I change the carbon filter?

First, disconnect the hood from the power supply. Remove the metal grease filter grille. Locate the carbon filter assembly and twist it anticlockwise to remove. Fit the new filter by twisting clockwise until it locks. Replace the grease filter grille. Carbon filters should be replaced every four months and cannot be cleaned.

How do I change the light bulb?

Switch off the hood and disconnect from power. Remove the anti-grease grille. Replace the defective bulb with an olive-shaped incandescent bulb, E14 base, max 40W. Refit the grille.

What should I do if the range hood is not working effectively?

Check that the fan speed is set high enough. Clean or replace the grease filter if dirty. Ensure the kitchen is well ventilated. For recirculation mode, check if the carbon filter needs replacing. For extraction mode, ensure ducting is not blocked.

Why does the range hood switch off during operation?

The safety cut-out may have tripped. Turn off the hob and wait for the device to reset. This often happens if the hood is installed too low (below 700 mm). If it occurs frequently, contact service.

Can I use the hood without a duct?

Yes, you can use it in recirculation mode. A carbon filter must be installed to purify the air before recirculating it back into the kitchen.

What is the warranty period for this hood?

The hood comes with a 12-month guarantee on parts and labor. You can extend it to 24 months by registering within 28 days of purchase. Additionally, there is a 5-year parts warranty.

Can I install the hood above a gas cooker?

Yes, but you must follow safety regulations. The minimum distance is 700 mm. Ensure proper ventilation in the room and that the ducting is fire retardant. The hood must not be installed above a high-level grill.

How do I contact Baumatic for service?

Specifications of your CAN52.1ME Cooker Hood

Congratulations on purchasing a Baumatic Cooker Hood!

To fully enjoy using your appliance long into the future, please firstly familiarise yourself with its specifications, safety advice and operational instructions included in this manual. You will also need this manual to ensure that your Cooker Hood has been installed properly.

Your cooker hood can work either as an extraction fan or as an air recirculator. Whichever mode you choose, you will need to bear in mind that the extractor calls for ducting (not included) to be worked from the exhaust of your fan, while the recirculation function will require the replacement of carbon filters.

Please see the installation section of this manual for details.

DIMENSIONS

Width (at base): 524 mm

Depth: 289 mm

Height: 139 mm

Your stainless steel Cooker Hood is fitted with:

• Slider control operation
• 3 speeds
• 1 light

Extraction capacity - 290 m³/hr

Optional Extra: 1 x E1 Carbon filter for air recirculation.

Important Safety Information: Please Read this before installing & using.

○ Any installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
The hood must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions and all measurements followed.
If the cooker hood is installed for use above a gas appliance then the provision for ventilation must be in accordance with the Gas Safety Codes of Practice BS.6172, BS.5440 & BS.6891 (Natural Gas) and BS.5482 (LP Gas) 1994, the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations, the Building Regulations issued by the Department of the Environment, the Building Standards (Scotland) (Consolidated) Regulations issued by the Scottish Development Dptmt.
- It is dangerous to alter the specifications or to modify this product in any way. Do not tamper with it or attempt to alter it in the attempt to customise it further.
When installing the hood, ensure that the following recommended distances are being observed between the cooker top and the bottom of the cooker hood:

√ Electric cookers: 700 mm
√ Gas cookers : 700 mm
√ Coal/ oil cookers : 800 mm

* NOTE - DO NOT SET YOUR COOKER HOOD LESS THAN 700mm ABOVE YOUR COOKER!

When installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the cabinets must not overhang the hob and their undersides must be at least 50 mm off from the hob edges.
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!
○ 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.
○ If other types of flue or appliances are fitted, ensure that there is an adequate supply of air in the room.
When the hood is being used in its extractor function, ensure that the ducting is fire retardant and that there are no bends sharper than 90 degrees as this will reduce the efficiency of the hood.

Important Safety Information: Please Read this before installing & using.

• Ensure the ducting for the extractor function has the same diameter as the outlet hole all the way through.
• Keep young children from using, playing with or tampering with the cooker hood. Older children and infirm persons should be supervised if they are using the cooker hood.
• Your cooker hood is for domestic use only.
  Please dispose of the packing material carefully – children are especially vulnerable to it.
• Dirty oil is an even greater fire risk.
  ○ Always put lids on pots and pans when cooking on a gas cooker.
  The manufacturer refuses to accept any responsibility for damages arising to the hood or its catching on fire from failure to observe fire safety advice in these instructions.
  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.

○ 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.

Do not connect the ducting system of this appliance to any existing ventilation system which is being used for any other purpose.
Do not install above a cooker with a high level grill.
☒ Never leave frying pans unattended during use as overheated fats and oils might catch fire.
Do not leave naked flames under the cooker hood.
Do not attempt to use the cooker hood if it is damaged in any way. Never attempt to use it without the grease filters fitted or if the filters are excessively greasy!
☒ Never flambé cook under this cooker hood.

Using your Baumatic Cooker Hood:

To use your cooker hood:

1) Make sure it has been properly installed.
2) Find the CONTROL PANEL. It is located on the underside of the hood toward the rear, left hand side.

3) The CONTROL PANEL contains two rows of switches. These perform separate functions. You will need to understand what both switches do before you attempt to use your cooker hood.

* Note: The hood should be switched on at least as soon as you start cooking. It is a good idea to have had it running for 5 minutes prior to cooking and at least 15 minutes after you have finished cooking.

One row of sliding switches is for the cooker hood's operation

MOTOR ON /OFF switch – the ' switch turns the motor on and off and adjusts its speed. There are three speeds available for your use.

The other is to control the light.

LIGHT ON/OFF switch - Moving the 'switch turns your cooker hood's light on and off.

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR BAUMATIC COOKER HOOD CAN BE USED EITHER IN RECIRCULATION MODE OR IN EXTRACTION MODE. TO USE IN RE-CIRCULATION MODE, YOU WILL NEED TO FIT THE CARBON FILTER.

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

• Clean the external parts with mild liquid detergents on a damp cloth.
  Never use abrasive powder, corrosive solvents or brushes.
  Never insert pointed objects into the motor's protective grid.

• Only clean the control panel and filter grill with a damp cloth and delicate detergents.

• Be sure to replace the carbon filters at the recommended intervals. Build up could cause a fire hazard.
  Never take out the grease filters and attempt to clean the space above where they are set.

Anti-Grease Grille

Your cooker hood includes an anti-grease grille which helps absorb vapour-suspended grease particles to protect your kitchen & furniture from greasy residues.
The metal grille may become inflammable if it becomes saturated with greasy residue.
- Your Anti-grease Grille may contain one of the following:

Sponge Filter – this should be washed with hot soapy water once a monthly and replaces after 5/6 washes. Paper Filter – this should be replaced monthly or, if it discolours visibly through the grille holes, sooner. Metallic filter – this should be cleaned once a month with non-abrasive detergents, by hand or in the dishwasher at a low temperature on a short cycle.

√ To prevent this fire hazard, the grille should be cleaned regularly (depending on use) every 10-15 days and at least every three months in a dishwasher or in hot water with normal washing-up detergent.

Maintenance - Cleaning the Anti-grease Filters

First remove the grease filter grille by turning in the two lugs on the underside of the grille.

- You can now clean the anti-grease grille. To clean the grille by hand:

√ Soak it for about one hour in hot water with a grease-loosening detergent then rinse off thoroughly with hot water.
√ Repeat the process if needed. Refit the grease grille once it has dried.

To clean the grille in your dishwasher:

√ Place the grease grille in the dishwasher. Select the most powerful washing programme and highest temperature.
√ Repeat the process, if necessary.

√ Refit the grease grille when it is dry. Do not worry about the slight discolouration of the grille – its performance won't be affected. DISCOLOURATION OF THE GREASE FILTER CAN TAKE PLACE WHEN CLEANED IN A DISHWASHER. THIS IS NORMAL.

* NOTE - After carefully rinsing and drying the anti-grease grille, put it back in place. Never put it back in wet!

Maintenance – Changing the Light Bulb and Carbon Filter

a) Changing the light bulb

√ Before changing the light bulb, ensure that the appliance is not live (i.e., ensure that you have switched it off.).
√ Remove the anti-grease grille to access the lamp area.
√ Remove the damaged light bulb.
√ Change the incandescent bulb using only olive-shaped spares with an E14 coupling, max. 40W.

* PLEASE NOTE - Defective bulbs should be replaced immediately.

√ Replace the metal anti-grease filter grille.

REMINDER BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS COOKER HOOD!

Remember! Connect ducting for extraction function if you intend to use your hood as an extractor.

Ensure that you use 125mm ducting and that an exhaust hole of about 130mm in diameter is bored into your cabinet / kitchen unit to accommodate it.

Installing / Changing the Carbon Filter

Your Baumatic Cooker Hood uses a CARBON FILTER to purify the air for the air recirculation function.

You will find that one filter will attach over the front of the fan motor (please see figure at bottom of page).

The active carbon filter must be replaced regularly, at least once every four months, to allow normal operation.

Before starting to fit the carbon filter, turn the omni-polar switch OFF.

Changing the Carbon Filter – Note: carbon filters cannot be cleaned!
