SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

• The cooking surface and the inferior part of the cooker hood must be at a minimum distance of 65 cm.
• 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 cooker hood, when evacuating the extracted air, could generate 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.

- Please disconnect the appliance from power mains, before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation. If the appliance is not equipped with a nonseparable flexible cable and plug, or with another device ensuring omnipolar disconnection from the mains, with an opening distance between the contacts of at least 3 mm, then such disconnecting devices must be provided in the fixed installation.

- If the appliance is equipped with a power cord and a plug, it shall be placed in such a way that 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 and 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.

- Two persons are needed for the installation of this product.

- 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:

Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments.
Farm Houses.
By clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments.
Bed and breakfast type environments.

CONTROL PANEL

A B C D E F

A. ANTI-CONDENSATION SYSTEM switch on/off

This is an innovative anti-condensation system, based on thermal resistances inside the glass panel. By heating the surface in contact with the induction hob, this system reduced condensation and helps prevent water drops developing and falling on the hob. It is recommended to switch on the hood a few minutes before starting cooking to allow the lower surfaces to heat up and keep it running until the odours disappear.

B. Light switch on/off

C. Reduce speed

D. Display

E. Increase speed

F. 10-minute timer

AUTOMATIC TURN OFF

After 4 hours of continuous working from the last function selection, the appliance automatically turns off.

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 m^3/h . (See External Motors Instructions). Remote motors, whose air capacity exceeds 650 m^3/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.

DIMMABLE LIGHTS FUNCTION

This function provides for lights dimmability, ranging from 20% to 100%, by continuously pressing the light key on the control panel.

Functions are the following:

Hood light off - press the light key - light on at 100%.
Light on at 100% - press the light key - light off.
Light on at 100% - continuously press the light key - brightness reduction.
Releasing the key during reduction or increase - light keeps the luminous intensity reached.
Light on - dimmed - continuously press the light key - brightness is inverted if compared to the previous function.

COLOUR TEMPERATURE SETTING

Make sure that the lights and the fan are Off.

Holding down the TIMER key will turn on the light at the previously set colour temperature. Press and hold the Light key to change the colour temperature.

As long as the key is continuously pressed, the colour temperature is changed from warm to cold. Stop pressing the Light key to select the desired colour.

Exit the colour temperature selection function by pressing the ON/OFF key.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Careful maintenance ensures smooth operation and long-lasting performance.

GREASE FILTERS

Particular care must be made when handling the grease filter. Access by pulling gently on the glass panel underneath the hood. Remove the grease filter by pulling its handle. To replace the grease filter after cleaning, fulfill the same operation in reverse order.

CHARCOAL FILTER

The charcoal filter is located on top of the appliance and can be removed by pulling the clip until it is unfastened from its slot. Reinsert the charcoal filter by performing the opposite operation.

3D rendering of a device with a blue arrow indicating rotation or movement, no visible text or symbols

To clean the charcoal filters, wash by hand with warm water or in the dishwasher at the highest temperature, using a common cleanser; maximum temperature 70^ C. It is recommended to wash the filter alone without other dishes to prevent traces of food from settling on the filter causing bad odours.

After washing, leave the filter to dry thoroughly in the dishwasher or in the environment. Then bake in the oven at 90 degrees for 1 hour. It is recommend to wash and regenerate the filters at least once every two months.

The active charcoal filter can be washed and re-used for up to a maximum 3 years. We recommend that these are replaced after this period. To purchase a replacement charcoal filter (CAP86CF) please visit www.caple.co.uk.
