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 14-15.
NOTE: This product should be installed using 150mm ducting

MOUNTING THE EXTRACTOR
Before fixing the hood to the unit, drill
a hole of 165mm diameter for 150mm
ducting in the wall unit.
Check the position of the power outlet
and consider where the power cable
will run; a hole might have to be made
in the wall unit to accommodate it.
Create an opening of 492mm x 263mm
in the underside of the cupboard where
the hood will be installed.
Unscrew the 2 visible screws located
on both side-ends of the hood, 8
mounting holes around the unit are
then accessible.
Lift the cooker hood and place into the
cupboard opening. Secure the unit using
the eight long screws supplied and then
fit the face plate using the two screws
located on both sides. Make sure the lights
are located at the front.

CHARCOAL FILTERS:
Extractors fitted with 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 CAP73CF).
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.

To replace a bulb, first disconnect the extractor from the power supply. Use a small blade
screwdriver to prise off the lamp cover. Care must be taken to avoid the lamp lens falling to the
hob top. The bulb is a screw fit into the lamp socket. Insert the replacement bulb into the lamp
socket and replace the lamp cover.
