covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee.
-Do not ever change or try to change the characteristics

be performed only by an authorised Caple engineer.
-Always disconnect the hood before carrying out cleaning

-Adequately ventilate the room when a cooker hood
and other appliances, powered by energy other than
electricity, are used simultaneously, so that the hood

gas hobs without pots or pans on them while using the
hood (the flames may get sucked into the hood causing
damage to the appliance).
-Frying whilst using this extractor must be done under
constant supervision as hot oils and fats may ignite.
-Respect the guidelines for cleaning and replacement of
grease filters. Accumulated deposits of grease are a
fire hazard.

We are constantly seeking to improve our products, we
reserve the right to modify their technical, functional, or

In the event a downdraft is installed with an external
motor, for normal downdraft operation, it is necessary to
use an external motor made by Caple.
The air collected must not be conveyed into a flue used
for smoke or fumes from appliances powered by anything
other than electricity (central heating systems, etc.). As far
as discharging exhaust air is concerned, please follow the
guidelines given by competent authorities.
There must be a minimum space of 50mm between the
edge of a gas hob and the downdraft frame.
