INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

Before you start

- Read this manual carefully and completely.

- The cooker hood conforms to related appliances standards. Please check your local building codes for any additional requirements.

- The appliance has been manufactured as class I, therefore earthed connection is necessary. The cooker hood must be installed so that the plug is easily accessible.

Planning your installation

- Measure the floor to ceiling height.

This hood can be installed on walls between 8ft and 9ft tall.

- Find the centre point of your opening. Mark a plumb line through this point from ceiling to your range/hob.

- Check your range/hob user manual for the minimum distance above your cooking surface. The minimum distance between any element or flame height and the nearest combustible surface is 61cm.

- Decided where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside. Short, straight duct runs will provide the most air flow.

- If a recirculating kit is required (Code: CAP24CF), you may purchase one through your dealer or visit www.caple.co.uk.

Remove all packaging

- Remove the packaging with the product in place. Cut off the packing ribbons and carefully cut open the packaging (do not cut too deeply), remove the packaging. Check that the product is free from transport damage. Any damage should be reported immediately to the carrier or retailer. Damage, faults and missing parts must be reported immediately to the retailer.

Installing the ductwork

- Plan where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.

The hoods exhaust vertically but can be ducted to the rear behind the chimney duct through an outside wall or vertically up through the ceiling to the roof. A short straight duct run will produce the most air flow. Length and elbows will reduce the efficiency of the blower.

- Install a roof or wall cap. Connect a 150mm round duct to the cap and work backwards toward the hood. Ensure joints are completely sealed with duct tape.

Fixing to a wall

- Before mounting the hood, plug in and test all functions for correct operation.

- Remove the filters from the bottom of the hood to prevent damage during the installation.

- With assistance, hold the hood temporarily in position ensuring the bottom is above the minimum clearance for the cooking surface. Mark on the wall the holes for the two mounting screws.

- Drill the holes (A) at the distances indicated. Use the appropriate screws and screw anchors for your wall type (e.g. reinforced concrete, drywall, etc.). If necessary, prepare back wall with cross framing for secure installation.

- Mount the hood on the wall screws. Align it in a horizontal position relative to cabinets. When the hood has been adjusted, secure unit by tightening screws (A).

- Connect duct tube (not included) to the exhaust piece using duct tape on all seals (B).

Fixing the chimney flu

- Carefully loosen but do not separate the telescopic chimney duct pieces.

- Arrange the electrical power supply within the dimensions of the chimney duct.

- Adjust the width of the support bracket to match the upper duct. Fix it to the ceiling using the screws so that it is centred in line with your hood and at a distance from the ceiling indicated.

A B

Important

- If a two-part connection tube is used, the lower section must sit outside the upper section.

- Do not connect the cooker hood exhaust to a duct used to circulate hot air or vent steam from another appliance.

- Always use protective gloves when installing the appliance.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Operations

- For optimum performance when removing cooking odours, it is recommended that you turn on your cooker hood 15 minutes prior to cooking and you leave it operating for 15 minutes after cooking.

- Clean the surfaces of the cooker hood regularly using a non-abrasive detergent.

- The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air. They will accumulate grease and dirt depending on the frequency of the use of your range/hob.

- In order to prevent a fire hazard, it is recommended that you clean the aluminium filter at least every 2 months

Warning:

- Do not attempt to remove the filters while the cooker hood is operating.

- Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.

- This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

- There should be adequate ventilation in the room when the cooker hood is used at the same time as other fuel burning appliances.

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 discolouration, 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 CAP24CF charcoal filter. Filters can be purchased directly from www.caple.co.uk.




How to replace the charcoal filter

- Lift the glass front panel to open it

- Remove the grease filter

- Squeeze the clips on the charcoal filter and pull the filter back towards you to remove it.

Replacing the bulbs

- This extractor is fitted with a 3W LED light bar. The illumination is designed for use during cooking and not for prolonged periods of time to light the kitchen. Prolonged use of the lights may reduce the lifetime of the bulbs.

Warning

Do not touch or change the bulbs when the hood is operating. Wait until the bulb is cool before removing.

Use the same bulbs as the originals (3W LED). Replacement bulbs are available from www.caple.co.uk.

Removing the LED lights

1. Open the centre panel and remove the grease filter.

2. From inside the hood, loosen the screw

3. Unplug the light from the wiring harness. Avoid direct contact between the lens and your hand

4. Replace the damaged lamp by reversing the steps

Note

The light is only meant for use during cooking and not for illuminating the surroundings for longer periods. If the light is used for longer periods, this will considerably shorten the life time of the bulbs.
