Safety and cleaning 5

Thank you for purchasing your new Caple extractor.

The extractor is designed to give you the option to extract to the outside
(via an exterior wall) with ducting, or to re-circulate air through additional
filters to minimise cooking odours.
The choice is yours to decide at installation, both options are explained in
this booklet.

We recommend that you read this booklet from cover to cover before
attempting to install or operate the extractor.

FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN OVERHEATING AND
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR APPLIANCE

To secure the product to the wall you must initially remove the grill/grease
filters. This is achieved by opening the front panel and pushing the two
catches (A) upwards which will then release the grill.

Installation continued

Once the grill has been removed, The front door panel should also be
removed.

Open the front panel and remove the two screws (B) as illustrated above.
Press the tab (C) down and remove the front panel from its guides

extractor and hob surface. Also refer to the installation guide for other hob
makes as the greater distance must be followed. Then fix the two
mounting brackets (G) to the rear wall.
Once the two mounting brackets are in position, hook the extractor
mounting bracket (D) onto the wall mounting bracket.
Some adjustment is provided within the brackets. For forward and
backward adjustment use screw (E) and for height alignment, adjust
screws (F).
Once the adjustment is complete fully tighten all screws.
If after installation there is a gap between the rear wall and the extractor a
spacer is provided. This can be fixed to the rear of the extractor and cut to
accommodate the gap.

screws and washer (E).Check that adjustment screw (F) is fitted.
Note: Note some units may have bracket fitted.

Ensure there is a minimum distance if 700mm between the bottom of the

Electrical Safety

Before you think about fixing, give careful consideration to the power
connection. It is vital that the supply cable should be well shielded from
your grill, hob or oven. If it isn’t, heat from any one of these sources may
damage the cable insulation and give rise to a fire risk. Under no
circumstances should the exposed power supply cable come within 70cm
of a direct source of heat, Ideally it should be channelled into the wall, well
out of harm’s way.

For your safety

In order to protect your appliance and minimise the risk of fire, don’t
barbecue food directly under the extractor. Similarly, do not prepare
flambé dishes immediately under the extractor. Your extractor is designed
to draw gases up and away from your hob. This means that exposed
flames may behave unpredictably in the vicinity of the appliance while it is
switch on. When frying take particular care to prevent the oil from
catching fire and never leave unattended.

Particular care must be paid to the grease filtering panels which must be
periodically cleaned in relation to use (at least once every two months)

Methods of extraction

1. Extraction via ducting (fig.1)

The very best method of cleaning the kitchen of unwanted odours is by
connecting the appliance to an exhaust duct and venting to the
outside atmosphere via an exterior wall (suitable ducting kits may be
purchased from Caple or the retailer where you purchased your
extractor.) Ducting your extractor negates the need for charcoal filters.
(Fig.1)

Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before attempting any cleaning or maintenance, ensure your
extractor is disconnected from the power source.

Regular and thorough maintenance will help provide long lasting
operation. Wipe the external surface of the appliance regularly using
warm water and a mild detergent, never use products containing abrasive

Remember: Before drilling or chiselling the wall, check for pipes and power
cables.

1. Ensure the ducting tube is kept as short as possible and with
minimum of bends to permit smooth airflow (the maximum
recommended length is 3 meters).
