INSTALLATION
PREPARE FOR THE INSTALLATION:
If you have an outlet to the outside, your cooker hood can be
connected as per the below picture by means of an extraction duct
with an interior diameter of 150mm.
Before installation, turn the unit off and unplug it from the outlet.
The cooker hood should be placed at a minimum distance of
65~75cm above the hob. It is the manufacturer of the hob who
determines the clearance required and the clearance quoted by
the hob manufacturer must be followed. In the absence of any
instructions supplied with a gas hob the minimum distance between
the hob and the hood must be at least 750mm.
The width of the extractor hood must correspond with at least the width of the hob fitted below.
When installed above a gas hob or range cooker, do not use all the gas burners simultaneously
for prolonged periods of time at the maximum setting (max. 15mins). There can be a risk of burns
if the housing or extractor surfaces become hot, and there is also a risk that the extractor can
become damaged due to excessive heat. If 3 or more burners are used simultaneously.
Never operate the gas hob without pans situated on the burners as the excess heat can damage
the extractor.

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 CAP61CF charcoal filters. Filters can be purchased directly from
www.caple.co.uk.
Instruction manual BU525BK & BU755BK16 Please keep this instruction manual for future reference
