ELECTRICAL SAFETY
› Before installing this extractor, give careful consideration to the power connection. It is vital that the supply cable should be well shielded from your grill, hob or oven. If it isn’t, heat from any one of these sources may damage the cable insulation and give rise to a fire risk. Under no circumstances should the exposed power supply cable come within 70cm of a direct source of heat. Ideally, it should be channeled into the wall.

INSTALLATION

The installation instruction must be strictly followed as failure to comply could result in overheating and serious damage to your appliance.

To secure the product to the wall you must initially remove the grease filters. This is achieved by opening the front panel and pushing the two catches (A) upwards which will  hen release the grease filters. Once the grease filters have been removed the front panel should also be removed.
Open the front panel and remove the two screws (B) as illustrated above. Press the tab (C) down and remove the front panel from its guides. Secure brackets (D) onto the top of the extractor using the fitting screws and washer (E) provided. Check that adjustment screw (F) is fitted.

NOTE:
For some units, this bracket may already be fitted.
Ensuring there is a minimum distance of 65cm between the bottom of the extractor and hob surface, fix the two mounting brackets (G) to the rear wall.
Once the two mounting brackets are in position hook the extractor mounting bracket (D) onto the wall mounting bracket.
Some adjustment is provided within the brackets. For forwarding and backward adjustment use screw (E) and for height, alignment adjusts screws (F).
Once the adjustment is complete fully tighten all screws. If after installation there is a gap between the rear wall and the extractor, a spacer is provided. This can be fixed to the rear of the extractor and cut to accommodate the gap.
IMPORTANT:
After the extractor has been positioned correctly it must be fixed to the adjacent wall through the fixing holes in the sides of the extractor. Then fix the furniture door panel to the extractor using the diagram below.

METHODS OF EXTRACTING

DUCTED VERSION
The very best method of cleaning the kitchen of unwanted odors is by connecting the appliance to an exhaust duct and venting to the outside via an exterior wall (suitable 150mm diameter ducting kits may be purchased from www.caple.co.uk.) Ducting your extractor negates the need for charcoal filters.(Fig.1)
For more information on venting, please see our ‘Extraction & Ventilation guide’ available at www.caple.co.uk

IMPORTANT:
Before drilling or chiseling the wall, check for the pipes and power cables.
NOTE: 150mm diameter ducting must be used to vent this extractor.

1. Ensure the ducting tube is kept as short as possible and with minimum bends to ensure a smooth airflow movement. (Maximum length 3M)
2. Ducted air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances supplied with energy other than electricity.
3. Ensure the requirement of the local authorities and building regulations are adhered to concerning the discharge of exhaust air.
4. Ensure adequate room ventilation is provided when the extractor is used in the same room as appliances supplied with energy other than electricity. 5. Never duct into a hot air flow such as a central heating duct.

WE STRONGLY ADVISE THAT ALL EXTERIOR OUTLETS BE FITTED WITH A NON-RETURN VALVE WITH LOUVRED SLOTS.

RECIRCULATING VERSION
When there is no easy access to an outside wall, the extractor can easily be adapted to clean air polluted by cooking smells by using a charcoal filter (code: CAP73CF). must be periodically cleaned in
NOTE:
A charcoal filter must be used for recirculation mode.

THE CHARCOAL FILTER
Charcoal filters (CAP73CF) should be replaced at least every 6 months, or sooner with heavier use. These can be purchased directly from www.caple.co.uk.
To change the charcoal filter, remove the existing filter by twisting and pulling it off. Re-fit the new version by pushing onto the lugs and twisting to the fixed position.

TOP OUTLET TO REAR DUCTING OUTLET
Top extraction and rear extraction modes can be selected depending on the cabinet and other requirements. Please follow the below instructions if the change in extraction is required:

| |
---|---|---
1. Top outlet| 2. Open the front panel, take out the filters and release the wiring tie| 3. Remove the transfer screws shown above
| 4. Rotate the transfer box to the back position and replace the screws
| 5. The rear outlet is now selected

OPERATION

To switch on the light simply move the switch to position 1.
NOTE:
The light will turn on when the front panel is open and turn off when the front panel is closed.

The motor will automatically operate by opening and closing the front panel as long as the switch is set to the desired speed level. The extractor fan has three-speed settings for light, medium, or heavy extraction of cooking vapors. The different levels of extraction are numbers 1, 2 & 3 and can be recognized by the changes in the noise level of the extractor fan when operating.

IMPORTANT:
In order to protect your appliance and minimize the risk of fire, do not prepare flambé dishes under the extractor. Your extractor is designed to draw cooking fumes and vapors up and away from your hob. This means that exposed flames may behave unpredictably in the vicinity of the appliance while it is switched on. When frying takes particular care to prevent the oil from catching fire and never leave it unattended.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
Switch off the extractor before cleaning or maintenance. To prevent surface damage never use abrasive or oil-based liquid cleaners. To clean the surfaces of the appliance, use mild detergent and warm water. In areas of high humidity and coastal environments, cleaning should be carried out frequently.

WARNING:
A build-up of oil may occur if the extractor is not cleaned regularly.

GREASE FILTER MAINTENANCE:
To maintain efficiency, the filters should be removed regularly (approximately monthly), and washed using hot soapy water of the dishwasher.

NOTE:
Some discoloration of the frame may occur if washed in the dishwasher.

BULB REPLACEMENT
This product is supplied with LED bulbs. To replace, isolate the electrical supply, release the spring holding the bulb and remove. Replace with a new bulb of the same type.

NOTE:
The bulb is a consumable part and is not covered by the guarantee.
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY PRIOR TO CHANGING THE BULB.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the electricity supply is switched off before connecting.
Your appliance must be connected to fix wiring via the use of a double pole switched fused spur outlet with at least 3 mm contact separation, and preferably with a pilot lamp. (See technical data for fuse rating). We strongly recommend the appliance is connected by a qualified electrician.
NOTE:
The terminology “DOUBLE POLE” means that both the live and neutral supplies are switched and disconnected at the same time.

The terminations labeled SUPPLY are for the connection of the internal house wiring and the terminations labeled LOAD is for the connection of the appliance.

IMPORTANT:
The wires in this mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code:
BLUE – NEUTRAL BROWN – LIFE
As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the colors markings identifying the terminals in your spur box, proceed as follow:
The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or colored black. The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the Letter ‘L’ or colored red.
WARNING:
This appliance has such technical particulars that it belongs to Class 2 insulation and therefore neither wire should be connected to the terminal marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol.

TROUBLESHOOTING

the extractor is connected to the power supply and switched on. If a replacement is needed remember to disconnect the power supply before removing the bulb.
The motor is on but fan doesn’t seem to be as efficient as usual| Check grease filter, if it has not been cleaned recently, it might be clogged with grease. If the filter is relatively clean, check charcoal filters. If this has not been replaced for more than six months. Remove and insert new a one.

As charcoal filters clog in just the same way as the grease filter, thereby reducing the efficiency of both the fan and the filter itself.

Works normally but cooking smells linger| If you’re using the unit in re- circulation mode, change the charcoal filter. It may be past its prime. Also, ensure you switch the extractor on 15 minutes before cooking and leave it running for at least 15 minutes after you finish. This will help clear the cooking odors more efficiently.
Controls fail to switch the motor on| Check plug/electrical supply, socket, and fuse. If these are in order and the fault persists, it could be that an accumulation of grease has impaired the efficiency of the switch mechanism. Try rapidly moving switch on and off several times in succession to clear grease deposit. If the fault continues, contact Caple service on 0117 938 7420 or email [email protected].
The appliance does not work at all| Check your extractor is switched on at the mains. Next, check for an unexpected power outage by switching on adjacent lights, etc. If all is in order, contact Caple Service on 0117 9387420 or email [email protected].
