CE DECLARATIONS OF CONFORMITY
This appliance has been manufactured to the
strictest standards and complies with all applicable
legislation, Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
Before you start
- 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.
- For ease of installation, the light assembly should be fitted using a magnetic
screwdriver before the hood is installed on the wall.
- The plastic cover is to protect the light assembly in transit. Once the light is fitted
to the hood, the plastic cover is easily removed by slackening the screws and
pulling the cover off.

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.
- Decide 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: 2 x CAP55CF), 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.

- 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.

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 onto the bracket (2).
- Install two mushroom tapping screw into the wall.
- Connect a duct tube (not included) to the exhaust piece using duct tape on all
seals (B).

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. Clean with warm water and
washing up liquid or clean it in the dishwasher. Please ensure no other items are
washed with the filters 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 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 2 x CAP55CF charcoal filter. Filters can be purchased directly
from www.caple.co.uk.
