The extractor is designed to give you the option to extract to the outside
(via an exterior wall) with ducting, or to re-circulate air through additional
filters to minimise odours, steam and condensation.
The choice is yours to decide at installation, Both options are explained
in this booklet.
We recommend that you read this booklet from cover to cover before
attempting to install or operate the extractor.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE STRICTLY ADHERED TO,
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN OVERHEATING AND
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR APPLIANCE
To secure the product to the wall you must initially remove the
grill/anti-grease filters. This is achieved by opening the front panel and
pushing the two catches (A) upwards which will then release the grill.

Installation
General description

Once the grill has been removed, The front door panel should also be
removed.
Open the front panel and remove the two screws (B) as illustrated above.
Press the tab (C) down and remove the front panel from its guides
Secure brackets(D) onto the top of the extractor using the fitting
screws and washer (E).Check that adjustment screw (F) is fitted.
Note: Note some units may have bracket fitted.
Ensure there is a minimum distance if 700mm between the bottom of the
extractor and Caple hob surface. (See installation guides for other hob
makes). Then fix the two mounting brackets(G) to the rear wall.
Once the two mounting brackets are in position, hook the extractor
mounting bracket (D) onto the wall mounting bracket.
Some adjustment is provided within the brackets. For forward and
backward adjustment use screw (E) and for height alignment, adjust
screws (F).
Once the adjustment is complete fully tighten all screws.
If after installation there is a gap between the rear wall and the extractor
a spacer is provided. This can be fixed to the rear of the extractor and
cut to accommodate the gap.
IMPORTANT NOTE: After the extractor has been positioned correctly
the extractor must be fixed to the adjacent cabinets through the fixing
holes in the sides of the extractor.
All that remains is to fix the front wooden door panel to the extractor by
using the diagram below, then fix the front panel.

Before you think about fixing, give careful consideration to the power
connection. It is vital that the supply cable should be well shielded from
your grill, hob or oven. If it isn’t, heat from any one of these sources may
damage the cable insulation and give rise to a fire risk. Under no
circumstances should the exposed power supply cable come within
70cm of a direct source of heat, Ideally it should be channeled into the
wall, well out of harm’s way.
In order to protect your appliance and minimise the risk of fire, don’t
barbecue food directly under the extractor. Similarly, do not prepare
flambé dishes immediately under the extractor. Your extractor is
designed to draw gases up and away from your hob. This means that
exposed flames may behave unpredictably in the vicinity of the
appliance while it is switch on. When frying take particular care to
prevent the oil from catching fire and never leave unattended.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting any cleaning or maintenance, ensure
your extractor is disconnected from the power source.
GENERAL CLEANING: Regular and thorough maintenance guarantee
will provide long lasting operation.
Wipe the external surface of the appliance regularly using warm water
and a mild detergent, never use products containing abrasive.
Particular care must be paid to the grease filtering panels which must be
periodically cleaned in relation to use (at least once every two months)
1. Extraction Via Ducting (fig.1)
The very best method of cleaning the kitchen of unwanted odours is
by connecting the appliance to an exhaust duct and venting to the
outside atmosphere via an exterior wall (suitable ducting kits may be
purchased from the store where you buy your extractor.) Ducting
your extractor negates the need for charcoal filters.(Fig.1)
Remember: Before drilling or chiseling the wall, check for pipes and
power cables.
1. Ensure the ducting tube is kept as short as possible and
with minimum of bends to permit smooth airflow. (Maximum
length 3M)

2. Ducted air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for
exhausting fumes from appliances supplied with any energy other
than electricity.
3. Ensure the requirement of the local authorities are adhered to
concerning the discharged of exhaust air.
4. Ensure adequate room ventilation is provided when the extractor is
used in the same room as appliances supplied with energy other
than electricity.
5. Never duct into a hot air flow such as a central heating duct.
We strongly advise that all exterior outlets be fitted with a non return
valve with louvered slotting.
2. The Re-circulation Mode (Fig.2)
When there is no easy access to an outside wall, the extractor can
easily be adapted to clean air polluted by cooking smells, by using a
charcoal filter which can be purchased from the store where you buy
your extractor. Remember the re-circulation mode cannot be used
without charcoal filters.
The Charcoal Filter CAP21CF
Filters do have a limited life. We advise you to change it when there is a
noticeable drop in performance. The intervals between changing the
filter will depend entirely upon the amount of cooking you do. But on
average they will last about 6 months
The Grease Filter Mat
The grease filter mat on model 2MINCHP5 requires replacing or
cleaning every 3 months. The filter can be cleaned in a dishwasher
or washed with a neutral detergent. To gain access to the grease
filter mat, the charcoal filter must be removed.
IMPORTANT: You should never attempt to use the extractor without
the grease filter as grease build-up could prevent the motor working
properly. If either filter is not supplied pull out the plug before
changing the filters.
Operation Your Extractor
The motor will automatically operate by opening and closing the
front door panel as long as the switch is set accordingly. The
extractor fan has three speed settings for light, medium or heavy
extraction of cooking vapours. The different levels of extraction are
numbers 1 ,2 and 3 and can be recognized by the changes in noise
level of the extractor fan when operating.
To switch on the light simply move the switch to position 1.
NOTE: The light is not effected by opening or closing the front
panel.

To change the Charcoal Filter remove the flexible wire frame and simply
replace with a new filter as shown below.
Bulb Replacement
To replace a bulb simply remove the grill and unscrew the bulb. Replace
with one of the identical type.
Note: The bulb is not covered by the guarantee.
Always switch off the electricity supply prior to changing the bulb.
IMPORTANT: ENSURE THAT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY IS
SWITCHED OFF BEFORE CONNECTING.
Your appliance must be connected to fix wiring via the use of a
double pole switched fused spur outlet with at least 3 mm contact
separation, and preferably with a pilot lamp. (See technical data
for fuse rating). We strongly recommend the appliance is
connected by a qualified electrician
NOTE: The terminology “DOUBLE POLE” means that both the
live and neutral supplies are switched and disconnected at the
same time.
The terminations labeled SUPPLY are for the connection for the
internal house wiring and the terminations labeled LOAD are for
connection for the appliances.

Important:
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code:
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may
correspond with the colours markings identifying the terminals in your spur
box, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter “N” or coloured black. The wire which is coloured
brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the Letter ‘L’
or coloured red.
WARNING
This appliance has such technical particulars that it belongs to Class 2
insulation and therefore neither wire should be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol.
Light bulb doesn’t come on
A replacement is probably necessary, But check first that the bult
is firmly screwed in to its holder. If the filament is broken,
remember that the light bulbs are not covered by our guarantee.
Remember to disconnect power supply before removing the bulb.
Motor is on but fan doesn’t seem to be as efficient as usual
Check grease filter mat. If it hasn’t been cleaned recently, It might
be clogged with grease. If the filter mat is relatively clean, check
the charcoal filter. If this hasn’t been replaced for more than six
months, remove it and insert a new one.
Works normally but cooking smells linger
If you’re using the unit in re-circulation mode, change the charcoal
filter. It is obviously past its prime.
Controls fail to switch motor on
Check plug, socket and fuse. If these are in order and fault
persists, it could be that an accumulation of grease has impaired
the efficiency of the switch mechanism. Try rapidly moving switch
