WARNING

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
The cooking surface and the inferior part of the cooker hood must be at a minimum distance of 65cm.
The extracted air can’t be conveyed through or into a duct used to let out fumes from appliances fed by energy other than electric power (eg. centralized heating, radiators, water-heaters, etc.).
To evacuate the air outlet, please comply with the pertaining rules given by competent authorities.
Provide the room with an adequate aeration when a cooker hood and appliances fed by energy other than electric power (gas, oil, or coal stoves, etc.) are used simultaneously. The cooker hood, when evacuating the extracted air, could generate a negative pressure in the room which can’t exceed the limit of 0.04 mbar, in order to avoid the suck of exhausts deriving from the heat source. Therefore the room should be provided with air-intakes to allow a constant flow of fresh air.
When performing the electrical connections on the appliance, please make sure that the current tap is provided with earth connection and that voltage values correspond to those indicated on the rating label placed inside the appliance itself.
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintaining operations, the appliance needs to be removed from the electric grid. If the appliance is not provided with a non-separable flexible cable and plug, or with another device ensuring omnipolar disconnections from the grid, with an opening distance between the contacts of at least 3 mm, then such disconnecting devices must be supplied within the fixed installation.
If the fixed appliance is endowed with a supply cord and a plug, the appliance has to be put in a place where the plug can be reached easily.
The use of materials which can burst into flames should be avoided in close proximity of the appliance. When frying, please pay particular attention to fire risk due to oil grease. Being highly inflammable, fried oil is especially dangerous. Do not use uncovered electric grills.In order to avoid possible fire risk, all instructions for grease-filter cleaning and for removing eventual grease deposits should be strictly followed.
This appliance complies with all relevant local and national safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.
The cooker hood is not intended for outdoor use.
It must only be used as a domestic appliance to extract vapours and remove odours from cooking. Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.
Where a recirculation cooker hood is fitted above a gas hob, please ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air into the room in which it is installed. Please seek the advice of a qualified gas fitter (e.g. GasSafe in the UK) if necessary.
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the cooker hood unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the cooker hood unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
The cooker hood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising from the hob.
Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the cooker hood has cooled down.

USES

The appliance is already arranged both for re-circulation and ducted installation.

In Recirculation mode (Fig.1), the air and fumes conveyed by the appliance are cleaned both by a grease filter and by an active charcoal filter, and put again into circulation through the top of the hood.
In ducted mode (Fig.2), fumes are directly conveyed outside, through ducting connected from the extractor to the outside. Both charcoal filter and air deflector are not necessary in this case.

INSTALLATION

Before installing the appliance, make sure that none of the parts are damaged in any way. In case of damaged parts, contact your retailer and do not proceed with installation.
Read all of the following instructions with care before installing the appliance:

If venting the hood, use an air outlet pipe of the shortest possible length.
Limit the number of pipe bends.
Use a duct of recognised and approved material.
Avoid any abrupt changes of direction and use a duct with a diameter of 150mm constant over the entire length.

NOTE:
For more information on venting, please see our ‘Extraction & Ventilation guide’ available at www.caple.co.uk

ATTENTION: AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE ARE NEEDED TO PERFORM THE INSTALLATION.

The cooker hood can be installed with top or rear ventilation. See ‘Rear Ducted Version’ section before proceeding with the following installation instructions.
Using the template (Fig.3A), drill the holes to install the hood onto the wall
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.
Fix the hood to the wall using the dowels and screws supplied (Fig.4).
