WARNING

-The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

-The cooking surface and the inferior part of the cooker hood must be at a minimum distance of 65 cm.

-The extracted air can't be conveyed through or into a duct used to let out fumes from appliances fed by energy other than electric power (eg. centralized heating, radiators, water-heaters, etc.).

-To evacuate the air outlet, please comply with the pertaining rules given by competent authorities.

-Provide the room with an adequate aeration when a cooker hood and appliances fed by energy other than electric power (gas, oil, or coal stoves, etc.) are used simultaneously. The cooker hood, when evacuating the extracted air, could generate a negative pressure in the room which can't exceed the limit of 0.04 mbar, in order to avoid the suck of exhausts deriving from the heat source. Therefore the room should be provided with air-intakes to allow a constant flow of fresh air.

-When performing the electrical connections on the appliance, please make sure that the current tap is provided with earth connection and that voltage values correspond to those indicated on the rating label placed inside the appliance itself.

-Before carrying out any cleaning or maintaining operations, the appliance needs to be removed from the electric grid. If the appliance is not provided with a non-separable flexible cable and plug, or with another device ensuring omnipolar disconnections from the grid, with an opening distance between the contacts of at least 3 mm, then such disconnecting devices must be supplied within the fixed installation.

-If the fixed appliance is endowed with a supply cord and a plug, the appliance has to be put in a place where the plug can be reached easily.

-The use of materials which can burst into flames should be avoided in close proximity of the appliance. When frying, please pay particular attention to fire risk due to oil grease. Being highly inflammable, fried oil is especially dangerous. Do not use uncovered electric grills. In order to avoid possible fire risk, all instructions for grease-filter cleaning and for removing eventual grease deposits should be strictly followed.

-This appliance complies with all relevant local and national safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

-The cooker hood is not intended for outdoor use.

-It must only be used as a domestic appliance to extract vapours and remove odours from cooking. Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.

-Where a recirculation cooker hood is fitted above a gas hob, please ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air into the room in which it is installed. Please seek the advice of a qualified gas fitter (e.g. GasSafe in the UK) if necessary.

-Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the cooker hood unless they are constantly supervised.

-Children 8 years and older may only use the cooker hood unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

-The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.

-Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

-The cooker hood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising from the hob.

-Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the cooker hood has cooled down.

APPROPRIATE USE:

-This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

TIMING

This product is equipped with intelligent electronics which include a timer device for speed controls when the air capacity exceeds 650m^3/h . Internal motor models, with maximum air capacity higher than 650m^3/h , are equipped with a timer device that automatically switches the speed from 4th to 3rd speed, after 5 minutes operation.

External motor models are equipped with remote motors that, as for internal motor versions, include a timer device that switches down the speed when it exceeds 650 m³/h. (See External Motors Instructions). Remote motors, whose air capacity exceeds 650m³/h at both 4th and 3rd speed, will have the following by default timer control functions: The speed is automatically switched from 4th to 2nd speed, after 6 minutes operation.
If the appliance is working at 3rd speed, it is automatically switched to 2nd speed, after 7 minutes operation. Operation speeds can also be changed during operation. The energy consumption of the appliance in standby mode is lower than 0.5W.

Accurate maintenance guarantees good functioning and long lasting performance.
Particular care must be made when handling the grease filter panel. It can be removed by pushing its handle toward the back-side of the cooker hood and turning the filter downwards so to unfasten it from its slot (Fig.4). To insert the filter just perform the opposite operation.
After 30 hours of use, the control panel will signal the saturation of the grease filter by illuminating all the buttons. Press the timer button ⏻ to reset.
The grease filter needs cleaning regularly by hand or in the dishwasher, at least every two months or more depending on use.

NOTE:

If washing the grease filter in the dishwasher, wash separately to prevent food particles becoming trapped in the filter mesh.

When the appliance is used in recirculating mode, the active charcoal filter (Fig.12) needs to be periodically replaced. The charcoal filter can be removed by removing the grease filter first (Fig.4), and by pulling its special plastic tongue until it is unfastened from its slot. Reinsert the charcoal filter by performing the opposite operation.
The active charcoal filter will need replacing depending on the use, but at least every six months. To purchase replacement charcoal filters (TBU520: 2 x CAP78CF, TBU850: 2 x CAP42CF) please visit www.caple.co.uk.
To clean the appliance itself, tepid water and neutral detergent are recommended, while abrasive products should be avoided. For steel appliances specialised detergents are recommended (please follow the instructions indicated on the product itself to obtain the desired results).

The LED lights must be replaced only by a qualified or competent person.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
