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 CAP60CF charcoal filters. Filters can be purchased directly from
www.caple.co.uk.
