INSTALLATION

PREPARE FOR THE INSTALLATION :

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 diameterof150mm.
Before installation, turn the unit off and unplug it from the outlet. 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.

INSTALLATION- DUCTED

WARNING:
Observe the warning concerning the operation of the appliance when air is discharged from the room.
When the cooker hood and appliance supplied with energy other than electricity are simultaneously in operation, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4×10-5 Bar).
Drill 3 x 8mm holes to accommodate the bracket. Screw and tighten the bracket onto the wall with the screws and screw plugs provided.
Level up the cooker hood and hang onto the wall bracket hook.

After hanging the hood on the bracket, remove the grease filters, mark 2 holes inside the hood for safety screws. After marking, remove the hood, drill two holes and insert 2 wall plugs and finally fix the safety screws with 2 screws (ST4x30mm).

Fix the one-way-valve to the air outlet of the cooker hood. Then, attach the exhaust pipe onto the one-way-valve as shown below.

CHIMNEY INSTALLATION

Place the upper chimney into the lower chimney. Attach the lower chimney bracket to the lower chimney.
Mark and drill 2 holes to fix the lower chimney bracket with 2 wall plugs and 2 screws ST4x30mm.

Slide the chimney to adjust the chimney height. When the height you require is reached, mark and drill the fixing hole and fix the upper chimney bracket with 2 wall plugs and 2 screws ST4x30mm.
Fix the upper chimney with the upper chimney bracket using 2 screws ST4x8mm .

INSTALLATION – RECIRCULATION MODE
If you do not have an outlet to the outside, the exhaust pipe is not required (as shown in the section “Installation – ducted”), and charcoal filters must be installed.

INSTALLING THE CHARCOAL FILTER (CAP61CF)
An activated charcoal filter can be used to trap odors. In order to install the charcoal filter, the grease filter should be detached first. Press the release button and pull it downward as shown below.

Fit the activated 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 .

Scan the QR Code to access the ‘How To’ video.

NOTE: Make sure the filter is securely locked. Otherwise, it may loosen and be dangerous. When using a charcoal filter, the extraction power may be slightly reduced. We recommend replacing these filters every 6 months. Replacement filters (CAP61CF) can be purchased directly from www.caple.co.uk

OPERATION

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 minimize 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 discoloration, 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 odors 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 CAP61CF 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 lamp cover by unscrewing the 2 screws.
3. Replace with the same type and rated bulb/lamp fixing. LED lamp (max.1.5W).
