DUCTING OPTIONS
The method of ducting should be carefully considered before installing the extractor. The guide
below recommends the ducting components to use for all common ducting configuration -
through the top of the home (the roof and soffit) and through the external wall. Alternatively this
extractor can be operated in recirculation mode.
NOTE:
This product should be installed using 150mm ducting.
Extra lengths and/or bends may be required, depending on the length required and whether there
is any structural material in the run e.g. rafters.
Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of
them as possible.
Some authorities require extractors to be vented outside. Ducted models should comply with this
requirement in every aspect.
RECIRCULATION INSTALLATION:
If you are unable to duct the extractor via an outlet to the outside, the exhaust pipe is only
required to help remove the air from the cabinet. We recommend this is done by ducting the air
out of the top of the cabinet. The charcoal filters must be installed as shown on page 16.
NOTE: This product should be installed using 150mm ducting

warm water. In areas of high humidity and coastal environments cleaning should be carried
out frequently.

Some discolouration of the frame may occur if washed in the dishwasher.
CHARCOAL FILTERS:
Charcoal filters are designed to remove grease and odours from cooking vapours prior to the
cleansed air re-entering the kitchen (when the extractor is in recirculation mode). The charcoal
filters for this appliance cannot be regenerated or washed and should be replaced every 6 months,
these can be ordered from www.caple.co.uk (code CAP85CF).
To install the charcoal filter rotate it anticlockwise until the stop click is heard. To remove the
charcoal filters, rotate it clockwise.
NOTE:
Fully saturated charcoal filters can become a barrier to air movement therefore limiting extractor
performance. In the event of fire, grease laden filters could be flammable and therefore require
replacement is recommended.
