CARE AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT:

Before cleaning or maintenance please switch off the electricity supply and remove the plug from the wall.

REGULAR CLEANING

Use a soft damp cloth with lukewarm mildly soapy water or household cleaning detergent. Never use metal pads, chemicals, abrasive material, abrasive cleaning creams or stiff brushes to clean the appliance.

CLEANING THE GREASE FILTER

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.

REPLACING YOUR CHARCOAL FILTER

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.

This extractor uses CAP75CF charcoal filters.

Filters can be purchased directly from www.caple.co.uk.

REPLACING THE BULB

NOTE:

The lights must be replaced by a qualified person.

1. Switch the unit off and unplug the appliance.
2. Remove the 4 screws on the curved glass panel, and take off the glass carefully.
3. Unplug the light from the connector and then push the light out of the hood.
4. Replace with the same type and rated bulb/lamp fixing. LED lamp (max 2W).
5. Connect the replacement light and screw the glass panel back on securely.
