If you have an outlet to the outside, your cooker hood can be connected as per the below picture by means of an extraction duct with an interior diameter of 150mm.

Earthed Outlet Box Earthed Outlet Earthed Plug

Before installation, turn the unit off and unplug it from the outlet.

65cm - 76cm

The cooker hood should be placed at a minimum distance of 65\~76cm above the hob. It is the manufacturer of the hob who determines the clearance required and the clearance quoted by the hob manufacturer must be followed. In the absence of any instructions supplied with a gas hob the minimum distance between the hob and the hood must be at least 760mm.

The width of the extractor hood must correspond with at least the width of the hob fitted below.

When installed above a gas hob or range cooker, do not use all the gas burners simultaneously for prolonged periods of time at the maximum setting (max. 15mins). There can be a risk of burns if the housing or extractor surfaces become hot, and there is also a risk that the extractor can become damaged due to excessive heat. If 3 or more burners are used simultaneously.

Never operate the gas hob without pans situated on the burners as the excess heat can damage the extractor.

INSTALLATION TYPE ONE

1. To install onto the wall, drill 2 holes of ∅8mm in a suitable place according with the centre distance of hole in the back of the cooker hood.
2. Insert the wall plugs into the holes.
3. Insert the screws into the wall plugs and tighten. Put the cooker hood onto the tightened screws.
4. Mark position for the safety screw holes onto the wall and remove the cooker hood.

INSTALLING THE CHARCOAL FILTER (CAP60CF)

If you are not externally venting this extractor, you will require the CAP60CF recirculating filters to use this extractor in recirculation mode (not included). To install these, firstly pull the retractable front panel out to expose both aluminium grease filters. Remove these grease filters by pressing the release button and pulling downwards as shown below.

Fit the charcoal filter onto the side of the motor and turn it in a clockwise direction to lock into place. Repeat the same on the other side.

When using a charcoal filter, the extraction power may be slightly reduced.

We recommend replacing these filters every 6 months. Replacement filters (CAP60CF) can be purchased directly from www.caple.co.uk

OPERATION

Light button: located on the left side of the hood, switches the light on and off.

Speed button: located on the right side of the hood.

"=": high speed level.

"-": Low speed level.

"o": Off.

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 CAP60CF 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 off and unplug the extractor.
2. Remove the aluminium grease filter.
3. Remove the LED light by squeezing the metal clips.
4. Remove the clip cover by removing the lid (see image a.).
