INSTALLATION
This appliance can be used in recirculation mode only. In recirculation mode the air and fumes conveyed by the appliance are cleaned by both a grease filter and an active charcoal filter, and then released back into the room. Prior to installation, make sure that the packaging is intact and all the parts are unbroken, otherwise stop the installation and contact your retailer. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by material handling or product installation. Before installing the appliance read all these instructions carefully.
WARNING : This product is made of ceramic, for that reason it requires very careful handling and installation by at least 2 people. Start by removing the product from the packaging and lay it on a suitable surface such as a soft material such as sponge or fabric to protect the surface of the hood.
- Using the supplied drilling template, mark and drill holes according to the four holes indicated by the template. The centre of the drilling template should correspond to the centre of the hob.
- Insert the 3 screws into the holes/raw plugs in the same position as the holes in the ceiling fixing plate (Fig.1A). Leave the hole for the final fixing screw (Fig.2B) empty as this will be fitted later on. Ensure the heads of the 3 screws are protruding slightly to allow the fixing plate to twist into the final fixed position.
- Place the ceramic cover over the extraction element and insert the steel cables into the three holes in the ceramic (Fig.3).
- Put the power cable through the air outlet grill (Fig.4). The ceramic cover must perfectly cover the metal part. Take care when placing it into position.
- Place the ceramic cover for the ceiling plate over the hood and put the steel cables through the three holes in the ceramic body, the power cable should be put through the central hole of the ceramic (Fig.5).
- Remove the metal plate from the packaging and then put the steel cables through the appropriate supports (Fig.6).
- Adjust the height of the product, moving the steel cables up and down inside the support. It is necessary to unscrew and push the support in order to allow the movement of the cable (Fig.7).
- Check that the remaining length of steel cables from the supports are the same, in order to ensure that it will be installed perfectly parallel to the ceiling and fully level. Tighten the appropriate support by screwing it (Fig.8) and fixing the steel cables.
- Add a clip for the further safety precaution to lock the cables in position. (fig 9)
- Put the hood near the ceiling and hook the plate to the screws pre ( Fig 1A)
- Tighten the three screws fixing the plate to the ceiling, then lock the hood definitively by adding the security screw (Fig.2B page 8). Connect the appliance to the electric grid.
- Lift up the ceramic cover until you reach the ceiling (Fig 10), make sure that the springs have hooked the ceramic cover.
- Install the grease filter making sure to first install th hooks for the security steel cable. ( Fig 11).
- The grease filter must be positioned by orienting the dedicated opening near the speed indicator (Fig.12). In case the ceramic cover of the body is not perfectly flat or parallel to the body, it is possible to make an adjustment after installation.
- Remove the grease filter. Using a Phillips screwdriver, (Fig.13A) tighten or loosen the three screws in order to raise or lower the ceramic body on a specific side (Fig.14). After the adjustment insert the rubber tips and the grease filter again.

INITIAL OPERATING CONDITION
The manufacturer supplies the radio control unit ready to be used with preset
codes.
STANDARD CONFIGURATION:
Standard configuration requires all cooker hood remote controls to be provided
with the same transmission code. In the event two cooker hoods radio control
system are installed in the same room or nearby, each system may affect the
operation of the another. Therefore, the code of one radio control system must
be changed.
GENERATING A NEW TRANSMISSION CODE:
The radio control system is provided with preset codes. Should new codes be
required, proceed as follows: Press simultaneously buttons:
WARNING : This operation permanently deletes the preset codes.
LEARNING THE NEW TRANSMISSION CODE:
Once the transmission code is changed in the remote control unit, the
electronic central unit of the cooker hood must be made to set the new code in
the following way: Press the main power-off button on the hood and then
restore power to the electronic control unit. Within the next 15 seconds,
press the Light Button to synchronise the central unit with the code.
RESET OF THE FACTORY CONFIGURATION:
To restore the Factory configuration, follow the procedure described below:
simultaneously press buttons.
EMERGENCY BUTTON:
In the event that the remote control does not work, use the emergency button
to switch the appliance off. After any necessary repairs have been performed,
reset the emergency button.
WARNING:
The battery should be replaced every year to guarantee the optimal range of
the transmitter. To replace the battery, take the plastic lid off, remove the
battery and replace it with a new one, observing the correct battery
polarities. Used batteries should be discarded in special collection bins.
WARNING:
Any adjustments or modifications which have not been expressly approved by the
holder of the legal conformity certificate may invalidate the user’s rights
relating to the operation of the device. The products are endowed with an
electronic device which automatically switches the product off after 4 hours
working from the last operation.
TIMING
- This product is equipped with intelligent electronics which include a timer device for speed controls when the air capacity exceeds 650m³/h. Internal motor models, with maximum air capacity higher than 650m³/h, are equipped with a timer device that automatically switches the speed from 4th to 3rd speed, after 5 minutes operation.
- External motor models are equipped with remote motors that, as for internal motor versions, include a timer device that switches down the speed when it exceeds 650 m³/h. (See External Motors Instructions). Remote motors, whose air capacity exceeds 650m³/h at both 4th and 3rd speed, will have the following by default timer control functions: The speed is automatically switched from 4th to 2nd speed, after 6 minutes operation.
- If the appliance is working at 3rd speed, it is automatically switched to 2nd speed, after 7 minutes operation. Operation speeds can also be changed during operation. The energy consumption of the appliance in standby mode is lower than 0.5W.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
-
An accurate maintenance guarantees good functioning and long lasting performance. Particular care must be made when handling the grease filter. The grease filter is fixed through magnets, therefore it is sufficient to insert a hand tool or the tip of a knife in the dedicated opening and push upwards in order to pull the filter out of its place (Fig.15). In order to remove the filter from the hood, unhook the two security cables, opening their snap-hooks. The active charcoal filter has to be removed after the extraction of the grease filter by pushing the specific handle (Fig.16).
-
The active charcoal filter can be washed and re-used for up to a maximum 3 years. We recommend that these are replaced during this period. To purchase replacement charcoal filters please visit www.caple.co.uk.
NOTE: To clean the charcoal filters, wash by hand with warm water or in the dishwasher, and then bake in the oven at 90 degrees for 1 hour. -
To clean the appliance itself, tepid water and neutral detergent are recommended, while abrasive products should be avoided. The power cord must be replaced only by a qualified person. The LED lamps must be replaced only by a qualified person.
