- Any consequences of or damage from incorrect
installation or incorrect use of the appliance will not be
covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee.

We are constantly seeking to improve our products, we
reserve the right to modify their technical, functional, or
aesthetic characteristics deriving from their upgrading.

- Do not ever change or try to change the characteristics
of this appliance. This would be a danger. Repairs must
be performed only by a Caple approved engineer.

- Always disconnect the hood before carrying out cleaning
or maintenance operations.

- Adequately ventilate the room when a cooker hood
and other appliances, powered by energy other than
electricity, are used simultaneously, so that the hood
does not suck any-combustion fumes.

- Do not cook food over open flames (flambé) or operate
gas hobs without pots or pans on them while using the
hood (the flames may get sucked into the hood causing
damage to the appliance).

- Frying under the appliance must be done under constant
supervision as hot oils and fats may ignite.

- Respect the guidelines for cleaning and replacement of
grease filters. Accumulated deposits of grease are a fire
hazard.

In the event a downdraft is installed with an external motor,
for normal downdraft operation, it is necessary to use an
external motor made by the same manufacturer.

The air collected must not be conveyed into a flue used
for smoke or fumes from appliances powered by anything
other than electricity (central heating systems, etc.). As far
as discharging exhaust air is concerned, please follow the
guidelines given by competent authorities.

- There must be a minimum space of 50mm between the
edge of a gas hob and the downdraft frame.

- This appliance must not be used near hobs powered by
wood or coal or in any case, near hobs with power levels
that could damage the appliance.

- Never use steam or high pressure devices for cleaning
your hood (regulations regarding electrical safety).

- Never use the cooker hood without the grease filters
fitted.
