CONTENTS OF PACKAGING:

• 1 x Hood body
  1 x face plate

• 1 x packet of fasteners and wall plugs

TYPICAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:

1. Electric drill
2. Screwdriver
3. Tape measure
4. Spirit level
5. Duct tape (if ducting)
6. Jig saw (if ducting)
7. Ladder (if ducting)

DUCTING OPTIONS

The method of ducting should be carefully considered before installing the extractor. The guide below recommends the ducting components to use for all common ducting configuration – through the top of the home (the roof and soffit) and through the external wall. Alternatively, this extractor can be operated in recirculation mode.

NOTE:
This product should be installed using 150mm ducting.
Extra lengths and/or bends may be required, depending on the length required and whether there is any structural material in the run e.g. rafters.
Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible.
Some authorities require extractors to be vented outside. Ducted models should comply with this requirement in every aspect.

RECIRCULATION INSTALLATION:
If you are unable to duct the extractor via an outlet to the outside, the exhaust pipe is only required to help remove the air from the cabinet. We recommend this is done by ducting the air out of the top of the cabinet. The charcoal filters must be installed as shown on page 14-15.

INSTALLATION

Carefully remove the plastic protective film from all exterior surfaces of the hood prior to final installation.

NOTE:
At least two people will be required to install the hood. When installing the extractor, the lower edge of the unit must be a minimum of 650mm  (750mm for gas cooker) above the hob.

NOTE:
If the instructions for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account.

MOUNT I N G T H E E X T R AC TOR
Before fixing the hood to the unit, drill a hole of 165mm diameter for 150mm ducting in the wall unit.
Check the position of the power outlet and consider where the power cablE will run; a hole might have to be made in the wall unit to accommodate it.
Create an opening of 492mm x 263mm in the underside of the cupboard where the hood will be installed. Unscrew the 2 visible screws located on both side-ends of the hood, 8 mounting holes around the unit are then accessible. Lift the cooker hood and place into the cupboard opening. Secure the unit using the eight long screws supplied and then fit the face plate using the two screws located on both sides. Make sure the lights are located at the front. Make the electrical connection.

OPERATION

CONTROLS

LIGHT:
The light can be operated independently by sliding the light switch on/off despite the working status of the fan. Please refer to the icon switch panel.

FAN:
The fan is operated by sliding the power switch on. It can be run at three different speeds
(Speed 1/Speed 2/Speed 3) depending on the cooking requirements. Please refer to the icon on the switch panel.

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.

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

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

CHARCOAL FILTERS:
Extractors fitted with charcoal filters are designed to remove grease and odours from cooking vapours prior to the cleansed air re-entering the kitchen (when the extractor is in recirculation mode). The charcoal filters for this appliance cannot be regenerated or washed and should be replaced every 6 months, these can be ordered from www.caple.co.uk (code CAP73CF).
To install the charcoal filter rotate it anticlockwise until the stop click is heard. To remove the charcoal filters, rotate it clockwise.

NOTE:
Fully saturated charcoal filters can become a barrier to air movement therefore limiting extractor performance. In the event of fire, grease laden filters could be flammable and therefore require
replacement is recommended.

REPLACING THE BULB:
To replace a bulb, first disconnect the extractor from the power supply. Use a small blade screwdriver to prise off the lamp cover. Care must be taken to avoid the lamp lens falling to the hob top. The bulb is a screw fit into the lamp socket. Insert the replacement bulb into the lamp socket and replace the lamp cover.
The LED light must be replaced by an authorised engineer or similar only. For more information, please contact Caple service – 0117 938 7420 or service@caple.co.uk
