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 If you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then be
sure to replace the carbon filters at the recommended interval
(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 filter.
The grease filter
o Your cooker hood includes a grease filter which helps to absorb
grease particles to protect your kitchen and furniture from
greasy residues.
o The synthetic filter may become flammable if it becomes
saturated with this greasy residue.
o To prevent this fire hazard, the filter should be replaced
occasionally. Depending on use, this should be done every 3
months, following the method shown in the next section.
o The synthetic grease filter is not washable.
o Replacement synthetic filters can be purchased from the
Baumatic Spares Department.
