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 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 dis
colour ation, 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
CAP61CF charcoal filters. Filters can be purchased directly from
www.caple.co.uk.
REPLACING THE LED PANEL
NOTE:
The lights must be replaced by a qualified person.
- Switch the unit off and unplug the appliance.
- Unplug the LED lamp cable.
- Unscrew the screws and nuts on the 2 brackets.
