Frequently Asked Questions - F90.2 BAUMATIC

What is the minimum distance between the hob and the hood?

For electric and gas cookers, the minimum distance is 700 mm. For coal or oil cookers, it is 800 mm. Never install lower than 700 mm.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, you can use it in recirculation mode by installing two carbon filters (sold separately). The air is then purified and released back into the room.

How do I clean the grease filters?

Remove the grease filters by pulling down and undoing the side catches. Soak them in hot water with a grease-loosening detergent for about one hour, then rinse thoroughly. Do not use a dishwasher. Allow to dry completely before refitting.

How often should I replace the carbon filters?

Carbon filters should be replaced at least every three months to maintain normal operation. They are essential for recirculation mode.

What type of light bulb does the hood use?

The hood uses incandescent bulbs with an E14 base, maximum 40W. Replace only with the same type.

What should I do if the hood does not start?

Check that the hood is connected to the electricity supply and that the fan speed control is set properly. Also ensure the safety cut-out has not tripped.

Why is the hood not extracting effectively?

Possible causes: fan speed too low, dirty grease filter, poor kitchen ventilation, blocked ducting (extraction mode), or expired carbon filters (recirculation mode).

Can I install the hood above a gas cooker?

Yes, but you must adhere to the minimum distance of 700 mm and comply with gas safety codes. Ensure proper ventilation in the room.

How do I install the chimney sections?

First secure the lower casing to the hood, then lift the upper casing to the ceiling, mark and drill holes for the fixing bracket. Secure the bracket to the ceiling and attach the upper casing.

What is the warranty period?

The hood comes with a 12-month full guarantee and a 5-year parts warranty (UK only). Labour extension is available. Republic of Ireland has 1 year labour and parts.

√ 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.
• 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 it's 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.

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 at the front of the canopy, to the right.
3) The CONTROL PANEL contains buttons as shown in the Figure below. These perform separate functions. You will need to understand what these buttons do before you attempt to use your cooker hood.

* Note: The hood should be switched on at least as soon as you start cooking.

KEY

'E' - Control lamp for motor operation

'F' - Light ON/ OFF button

'D' - Motor operation:

$$ 0 = \text { off } $$

$$ . = \text { low speed, }.. = \text { mid speed, }... = \text { high speed. } $$

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR BAUMATIC COOKER HOOD CAN BE USED EITHER IN RECI RCULATION MODE OR IN EXTRACTION MODE. TO USE THE HOOD IN RECI RCULATION MODE, YOU WILL NEED TO FIT THE CARBON FILTERS.

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.

√ To prevent this fire hazard, the grille should be cleaned regularly (depending on use) every 10-15 days and at least once a month in hot water with normal washing-up detergent. DO NOT USE A DISHWASHER TO ACHIEVE THIS.

Maintenance - Cleaning the Anti-grease Filters

First remove the grille by pulling down on it. Undo the side catches.

You can now clean the anti-grease filter grilles.

√ Soak them 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.

√ Refit the grease grilles when dry.

Let the filter grilles dry thoroughly before refitting them.

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 at the wall switch).
√ Remove the metal anti-grease filters (see Figure 2 below) and find the old bulb located in the light fixture up inside the exposed canopy. 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 filters.

Installing / Changing the Carbon Filter.

Your Baumatic Cooker Hood uses a pair of CARBON FILTERS to purify the air for the air recirculation function.

You will find that the filters will attach to both sides of the fan motor (please see figures at bottom of page).

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

Before starting to fit the carbon filter, turn the omni-polar switch off at the wall.
