Introduction

Thank you for choosing this Caple extractor hood.

To ensure that you get the best results from your new extractor, we
strongly suggest that you read this instruction manual thoroughly before
use.

. .

. If treated with care, your Caple extractor should give you years of

trouble-free use.

To register ownership, please ensure you complete and return the
guarantee card supplied with the appliance.

This instruction manual is designed to provide you with all required
information related to the installation, use and maintenance of the
appliance.

These cooker hoods are designed to extract unpleasant odours from the
kitchen; they are not intended to extract steam.

In order to operate the unit correctly and safety, please read this
instruction manual carefully before installation and use.
The cooker hood uses high quality materials, and is made with a
streamlined design. Equipped with an electric motor and centrifugal fan,
it provides strong extraction with low noise. It also features non-stick
grease filters and an easy installation.

Safety precautions

-

Never let the children operate the machine.

-

The cooker hood is for home use only, not suitable for barbecuing,

restaurants or other commercial purposes.

-

The cooker hood and its filter should be cleaned regularly in order to keep

in good working condition.

-

Clean the cooker hood according to the instruction manual to reduce the

risk of fire.

-

When using a gas hob, do not leave naked flames under the extractor.

-

damaged. A damage supply cord must be replaced by qualified service
personnel only. Please contact the Caple service department.

-

If the room where the 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 to the room.

-

The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

-

Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be conformed to.

-

This appliance if not intended for use by persons (including children) with

Never leave frying pans unattended during use as over-heated fats and

oils may catch fire.

- To ensure the best performance, we recommend switching on the
extractor 15 minutes before cooking and leave it running 15 minutes after.
This will ensure that the air in the kitchen is being circulated before
cooking commences and the air is being cleaned after cooking has
finished.

-

The performance of your extractor will vary depending on a number of

factors. These include type of extraction, room volume, length of ducting,
ventilation available and the cleanliness of the filters.

Clean the filter every month to help minimise the risk of fire.
The filter collects grease, smoke and dust, therefore the filter is directly affecting
the efficiency of the cooker hood. If not cleaned, the grease residue (which is
potentially flammable) will saturate the filter. It can be easily cleaned with warm
water and washing up liquid, alternatively the filters can be cleaned in your
dishwasher. Please ensure no other items are washed with the filters, they must
be washed separately to prevent food becoming trapped in the gauze. Cleaning
the grease filters in the dishwasher may lead to discolouration, this is normal and
is a not a fault with the product.

This only applies if you are using the hood in recirculation mode (not vented to
the outside). The charcoal filter traps your cooking odours and they need to be
replaced, this can vary depending on how frequently the cooker hood is used.
We recommend replacing them at least every 6 months.
