WARNING
The appliance is not intended for use by young children
or infirm persons without supervision. Young children
should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the
appliance.
The extracted air can’t be conveyed through or into a
duct used to let out fumes from appliances fed by energy
other than electric power (eg. centralized heating,
radiators, water heaters, etc.).
To evacuate the air outlet, please comply with the
pertaining rules given by competent authorities.

4Instruction manual CE903SS/CE903WH Please keep this instruction manual for future reference
-Provide the room with an adequate aeration when a
cooker hood and appliances fed by energy other than
electric power (gas, oil, or coal stoves, etc.) are
used simultaneously.
-The cooker hood, when evacuating the extracted air,
could generate a negative pressure in the room which
can’t exceed the limit of 0.04 mbar, in order to avoid
the suck of exhausts deriving from the heat source.
Therefore the room should be provided with air-intakes
to allow a constant flow of fresh air.
-If the rating label in the cooker-hood does show the
symbol the appliance is built in class 11° and it does
not need the earth connection. If the rating label in the
cooker hood does not show the symbol
, the appliance is built in class I° and it needs the
earth connection.
-When performing the electrical connections on the
appliance, please make sure that the current tap is
provided with earth connection and that voltage values
correspond to those indicated on the label placed
inside the appliance itself.
-Before carrying out any cleaning or maintaining
operations, the appliance needs to be removed from
the electric grid.

5Instruction manual CE903SS/CE903WHPlease keep this instruction manual for future reference
-If the appliance is not provided with a non-separable
flexible cable and plug, or with another device ensuring
omnipolar disconnections from the grid, with an
opening distance between the contacts of at least
3 mm, then such disconnecting devices must be
supplied within the fixed installation.
-If the appliance is endowed with a supply cord and a
plug, the appliance has to be put in a place where the
plug can be reached easily.
-The use of materials which can burst into flames
should be avoided in close proximity of the appliance
-When frying, please pay particular attention to fire risk
due to oil grease. Being highly inflammable, fried oil is
especially dangerous.
-Do not use uncovered electric grills. In order to avoid
possible fire risk, all instructions for grease filter
cleaning and for removing eventual grease deposits
should be strictly followed.
-This appliance complies with all relevant local and
national safety requirements. Inappropriate use can,
however, lead to personal injury and damage
to property.
-The cooker hood is not intended for outdoor use.
-It must only be used as a domestic appliance to extract
vapours and remove odours from cooking. Any other
usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could
be dangerous.

6Instruction manual CE903SS/CE903WH Please keep this instruction manual for future reference
-Where a recirculation cooker hood is fitted above a gas
hob, please ensure that there is an adequate supply of
fresh air into the room in which it is installed. Please
seek the advice of a qualified gas fitter (e.g. GasSafe in
the UK) if necessary.
-Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from
the cooker hood unless they are constantly supervised.
-Children 8 years and older may only use the cooker
hood unsupervised if they have been shown how
to use it safely and recognise and understand the
consequences of incorrect operation.
-The electrical safety of this appliance can only be
guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential
that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any
doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a
qualified electrician.
-Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity
supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance.
-The cooker hood can get very hot during cooking due
to heat rising from the hob.
-Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the
cooker hood has cooled down.

OPENING THE PANEL
It is possible to open the steel panels, which
cover the grease filters, by pulling the side
of them gently as shown in Fig.1. To achieve
the complete opening of the panels, you
need to release the safety chains by using the
appropriate spring catches.
To work correctly, it is recommended to install
the product at a maximum distance of 2000-
2100mm, from the floor level.
Before proceeding with the installation of the
appliance, check that all the components are not
damaged, otherwise please contact your retailer and do not continue with the installation.
Use an air outlet pipe with a maximum length of no more than 5 metres. Reduce the number of
bends in the duct as each bend reduces the suction efficiency equivalent to 1 linear meter.
(E.g. If 2 90° bends are used, the length of the duct should not exceed 3 meters in length).
Avoid abrupt changes of direction.
Use a duct with a diameter of 150mm constant over the entire length.
Use a duct of recognised and approved material.
For more information on venting, please see our ‘Extraction & Ventilation guide’ available at
www.caple.co.uk
The cooker hood should be placed at a minimum distance of 65cm 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 760mm.

INSTALLATION
Fit a false ceiling with an opening of 865 x 405mm with a minimum distance of 270mm
between the ceiling and the false ceiling.
It is possible to select the side of the hood where the extracted air can be discharged.
After choosing the most suitable position, prepare the ducting. An air outlet connection piece,
with a diameter of 150mm is provided with the appliance. Install the connection piece to the
selected side.
Leave any unused exhaust outlets closed.
Draw the outline of the hole to house the ceiling mounted hood on the solid ceiling (Fig.2).
Make 4 holes in the ceiling according to the dimensions shown in (Fig.3). Place the metric
plugs provided in the holes.
Open the stainless steel panels, following the instructions in ‘Opening the Panels’ and remove
the grease filters in order to avoid damaging them and to allow installation.

Screw the threaded bars provided into the plugs (Fig.4); the threaded bars are 250mm long
and serve to install the ceiling mounted hood at a distance from the solid ceiling of between
270mm and 370mm (Fig.5).
If the hood is installed with a lateral air outlet, fit a false ceiling with an opening that has a
minimum gap of 210mm between the ceiling and the false ceiling (Fig.6); in case of a larger
gap between the hood and the ceiling, you need to use longer threaded bars.
Make the electrical connections and connect the air outlet pipe.

13Instruction manual CE903SS/CE903WHPlease keep this instruction manual for future reference
Place the ceiling-mounted hood into the niche, by inserting the threaded bars into the holes
(Fig.7). The outer edge of the hood needs to be perfectly flush with the false ceiling.
Insert the plates and nuts provided into the threaded bars, making sure to tighten them
securely (Fig.8); refit the grease filters and filter cover panels.
FIG.7 FIG.8
FIG.9
Connect the internal motor or the external motor’s cable to the terminal board found inside the

TIMING
› This product is equipped with intelligent electronics which include a timer device for speed
controls when the air capacity exceeds 650m³/h. Internal motor models, with maximum air
capacity higher than 650m³/h, are equipped with a timer device that automatically switches
the speed from 4th to 3rd speed, after 5 minutes operation.
› External motor models are equipped with remote motors that, as for internal motor
versions, include a timer device that switches down the speed when it exceeds 650 m³/h.
(See External Motors Instructions). Remote motors, whose air capacity exceeds 650m³/h
at both 4th and 3rd speed, will have the following by default timer control functions: The
speed is automatically switched from 4th to 2nd speed, after 6 minutes operation.
