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 Advice Line.

IMPORTANT: Any installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. o The hood must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions and all measurements followed. o 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 Department. o It is dangerous to alter the specifications or to modify this product. Do not tamper with it or attempt to modify the appliance in any way. o When installing the hood, ensure that the following recommended distances are observed between the highest point on the hob top (including the burners) and the bottom of the cooker hood:

¾ Electric cookers:

¾ Gas cookers:

700 mm

700 mm

¾ Coal/ oil cookers: 800 mm

IMPORTANT: DO NOT SET YOUR COOKER HOOD LESS

THAN 700mm ABOVE YOUR COOKER. o When installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the cabinets must not overhang the hob.

5

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 FILTERS! 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 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. o Ensure the ducting for the extractor function has the same diameter as the outlet hole all the way through. o 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. o Your cooker hood is for domestic use only. o Please dispose of the packing material carefully – children are especially vulnerable to it. o Dirty oil is an even greater fire risk. o Always put lids on pots and pans when cooking on a gas cooker. o The manufacturer refuses to accept any responsibility for damages arising to the hood or it catching on fire, from a failure to observe the fire safety advice contained in this instruction booklet.

6

o Remember that when in extraction mode, your cooker hood is removing air from your room. Ensure that proper ventilation measures are being observed. o Note: Your cooker hood is designed to remove cooking odours from the room and 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 replacing light bulbs. o Do not connect the ducting system of this appliance to any existing ventilation system which is being used for any other purpose. o Do not install above a cooker with a high level grill. o Never leave frying pans unattended during use as overheated fats and oils might catch fire. o The lights on this appliance should only be used during operation of the cooker hood. They should not be left on permanently and used as a lighting source. o The cooker hood should not be exposed to a direct heat source from the cooking device underneath it, i.e. a naked flame from a gas burner or heat from electric hob zones without a pan on them. o 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! o Never flambé cook under this cooker hood.

Using your Baumatic cooker hood

Before first use

IMPORTANT: THIS PROCESS MUST BE FOLLOWED

BEFORE THE COOKER HOOD IS USED FOR THE FIRST

TIME. o You should use a good quality stainless steel cleaner and polish on ALL of the stainless steel areas of your cooker hood, before it is used for the first time. o This will help to leave a silicone water-resistant film to protect the stainless steel surfaces.

To use your cooker hood

Before operating the hood, make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified person, as per the information contained in

Baumatic’s installation instructions. o Find the control panel, which is located in the front middle of the canopy. o There are several buttons on the control panel, which perform separate functions.

10

Setting the time of day o After the appliance is connected to your mains supply, press the

ON/OFF button to switch the hood on, the LED display backlight will switch on. If no other button is pushed within 30 seconds, then the backlight will go out. o Press and hold down the timer button for a few seconds, the hour section of the LED display will flash. o Press the speed selection button to increase the number shown on the LED display. o Press the light ON/OFF button to decrease the number shown on the LED display. o The clock on the cooker hood is 24 hour, so the largest hour number that can be set is 23. o Press the timer button again to confirm the hour time; the minute section of the LED display will then flash. o Use the same buttons as before to adjust the number shown on the LED display. o Press the timer button for a third time and this will confirm the time of day setting.

Setting the fan speed o Press the ON/OFF button to switch the hood on; the LED display backlight will switch on. If no other button is pushed within 30 seconds, then the backlight will go out. o The motor has three speeds, low, medium and high. o Press the speed selection button once and the hood will run at low speed. o Press the speed selection button again and the hood will run at medium speed. o Press the speed selection button again and the hood will run at high speed. o If you press the speed selection button whilst the hood is running at high speed, then the hood will return to running at low speed.

11

o To switch the fan off, press the ON/OFF button. o When you next switch on the cooker hood using the ON/OFF button, it will remember the operating speed that it was last used at.

The cut off timer o Whilst the cooker hood is in use, if you press the timer button the number “12:00” will appear on the LED display. o This indicates that the hood will run for a further 12 minutes at the current fan speed. o Once the 12 minute period has elapsed, the cooker hood will switch itself off. o It is useful to use this feature when you have finished cooking.

You can press the timer button and the hood will run on to extract any remaining odours and then switch itself off without you needing to return to the kitchen.

IMPORTANT: IDEALLY YOU SHOULD SWITCH ON

YOUR HOOD TEN MINUTES BEFORE YOU START TO

COOK, OR AT THE VERY LEAST WHEN YOU BEGIN

COOKING. YOU SHOULD ALSO RUN YOUR HOOD FOR

TEN MINUTES AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED COOKING.

12

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 filter grill with mild liquid detergents and a new damp cloth. o You should use a good quality stainless steel cleaner and polish on ALL of the stainless steel areas of your cooker hood o If you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then be sure to replace the carbon filters at the recommended intervals

(see section on “Fitting the carbon filter”). A build up of grease could cause a fire hazard. o Never attempt to clean the area above the grease filters.

The grease filter

o Your cooker hood is fitted with a grease filter, which helps to absorb grease particles and protect your kitchen and furniture from greasy residues. o The metallic filter may become inflammable if you allow it to get saturated with this greasy residue. o To prevent this fire hazard, the filter should be cleaned regularly.

Depending on use, this should be done every 10-15 days or at least once a month, using hot water and normal washing-up detergent. o DO NOT WASH THE GREASE FILTER IN A DISHWASHER.

13

Maintenance

Removing and cleaning the grease filter o Lift up the cover that sits over the grease filter (as shown in the line drawing above). o Remove the grease filter by pulling down on the handle and pulling it away from the cooker hood. o Soak the grease filter in hot water and washing up liquid for at least 5 minutes (or longer if the grease build up is severe). o Rinse it off thoroughly with hot water. o Repeat the process if required. o Refit the grease filter once it has dried.

14

o Close the cover that sits over the grease filter. o IMPORTANT: Let the grease filter dry thoroughly before

refitting it 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 Find the bulb that requires replacement, you will find it located in the light fixture which is inside the exposed section of the canopy. o Use a screwdriver to remove the glass cover that sits over the bulb. Unclip the light bulb that needs to be replaced and insert a new G4 20W (max) bulb. Then replace the glass cover. o IMPORTANT: Defective bulbs should be replaced immediately. o If the lights still do not work, make sure that the bulbs are fitted properly into their housings before you call for technical assistance.

15

Fitting the carbon filters

If the appliance is being used to be used in recirculation mode then it is necessary to fit carbon filters. This will help to absorb unpleasant odours caused by cooking.

IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FIT OR

REMOVE THE CARBON FILTERS, YOU MUST

ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE

COOKER HOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY.

1) Remove the grease filters.

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.

16

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 in your home. The rating plate can be found behind the grease filter.

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.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. It should only be connected by a competent person, using fixed wiring via a double pole switched fused spur outlet.

(UK ONLY).

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.

17

o As the colours of the wires in the appliance’s mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your spur box, please proceed as follows: o The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked “N” (neutral), or coloured

black. o The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked “L” (live), or coloured red.

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. o Ensure that all electrical connections are carried out by a suitably qualified person. o Before commencing installation of the cooker hood the grease filters should be removed. o Check inside the product and ensure that there is no transit packaging or any other materials, such as packets of screws, guarantees etc. These should be removed and kept for future use. o If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slot-in cookers from their position, to provide easier access to the rear wall and ceiling. If this is not possible, then a thick, protective covering should be placed over the worktop, hob top or cooker. This will help to protect these surfaces from damage and debris. 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 to it. o Rawl plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls and ceilings. However a qualified technician must verify the suitability of the materials, in accordance with the type of wall and ceiling. The wall and ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood.

18

o Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. This appliance is designed to be surface mounted only.

Installing your cooker hood

IMPORTANT: YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE

INSTALLING YOUR COOKER HOOD WHETHER TO USE

IT IN EXTRACTION MODE OR RECIRCULATION

MODE. PLEASE TURN TO PAGE 25 NOW TO

UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE

TWO MODES. o We recommend that at least two people install this hood. o Please note that the styles of cooker hood shown in the line drawings in the following pages are sometimes different to the shape of the BU676GL-EU and BU976GL-

EU. However the installation method shown is correct and

MUST be followed.

IMPORTANT: YOUR COOKER HOOD SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO

YOUR MAINS SUPPLY AFTER THE REST OF THE INSTALLATION

PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

1) Remove the metal grease filters.

2) Position the hood against the wall that you are intending to install it on and mark the position of the support holes that are to be drilled (as shown in the figure below).

19

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.

20

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.

21

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. For each additional 90 degree bend, the maximum distance is reduced by a further metre.

Fitting the optional chimney sections (CQ3SS)

9) Take the two chimney sections

(C) and (D). o Rest the bottom of chimney section (C) on the top of the hood. You should take care to position the tabs on the chimney section into the rear of the hood. o Mark the side measurement of both sides of chimney section

(C) on the wall with a pencil.

22

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.

23

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). Then secure the L shaped bracket to the wall, using the same method as you have just used to secure the lower bracket.

13) Lift chimney section (D) up to the ceiling and secure it to the L shaped bracket using the screws provided.

24

Completing the installation

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 16.

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

17 - 18 for detailed information on the electrical connection.

Use a stainless steel cleaner on the stainless steel sections of the appliance.

Refit the grease filter(s) and then switch on the mains supply to the appliance. Set the time of day and then 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? o To get optimum performance from your cooker, the air will be taken out of the room via external ducting. o 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. o In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and passed through a charcoal filter for purification. The air then reenters the kitchen via an opening in the hood .

What is a charcoal filter and do I need one? o All cooker hoods have grease filters but if you are using your cooker hood in recirculation mode, then charcoal filters must be fitted in addition to the grease filters.

25
