SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
-The cooking surface and the inferior part of the cooker
hood must be at a minimum distance of 65 cm.
-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 cooker hood, when evacuating the extracted air,
could generate 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.
-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 rating label
placed inside the appliance itself.
-Please disconnect the appliance from power mains,
before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance
operation. If the appliance is not equipped with a
nonseparable flexible cable and plug, or with another
device ensuring omnipolar disconnection from the
mains, with an opening distance between the contacts
of at least 3 mm, then such disconnecting devices must
be provided in the fixed installation.

-If the appliance is equipped with a power cord and a
plug, it shall be placed in such a way that 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 and 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.
-Two persons are needed for the installation of
this product.
-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.
-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.

5Instruction manual CR700 / CR700SL / CR700WHPlease keep this instruction manual for future reference
-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.

The radio control system is provided with preset codes. Should new codes be required, proceed
as follows: Press simultaneously buttons:
for two seconds. When LED’s light on, press buttons:
(within 5 seconds). LED’s flashing 3 times indicate the procedure is completed.
WARNING:
This operation permanently deletes the preset codes.
LEARNING THE NEW TRANSMISSION CODE:
Once the transmission code is changed in the remote control unit, the electronic central unit of
the cooker hood must be made to set the new code in the following way:
Press the main power-off button on the hood and then restore power to the electronic control
unit. Within the next 15 seconds, press the Light Button to synchronise the central unit with

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.
› If the appliance is working at 3rd speed, it is automatically switched to 2nd speed, after
7 minutes operation. Operation speeds can also be changed during operation. The energy
consumption of the appliance in standby mode is lower than 0.5W.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
› An accurate maintenance guarantees good functioning and long lasting performance.
Particular care must be made when handling the grease filter. The grease filter is fixed
through magnets, therefore it is sufficient to insert a hand tool or the tip of a knife in the
dedicated opening and push upwards in order to pull the filter out of its place (Fig.15). In
order to remove the filter from the hood, unhook the two security cables, opening their
snap-hooks. The active charcoal filter has to be removed after the extraction of the grease
filter by pushing the specific handle (Fig.16).
› The active charcoal filter can be washed and re-used for up to a maximum 3 years. We
recommend that these are replaced during this period. To purchase replacement charcoal
filters please visit www.caple.co.uk.
NOTE:
To clean the charcoal filters, wash by hand with warm water or in the dishwasher, and then
bake in the oven at 90 degrees for 1 hour.
› To clean the appliance itself, tepid water and neutral detergent are recommended, while
abrasive products should be avoided. The power cord must be replaced only by a qualified
person. The LED lamps must be replaced only by a qualified person.
