INSTALLING THE EXTRACTOR
1. Before carrying out the appliance installation, please check
that all components are not damaged, in such a case contact
your retailer and do not carry out any installation operation.
Before the installation of the Downdraft, please remove the
safety piece you can see in the picture (Fig.1).
Furthermore, please read carefully all of the following
installation instructions.
› Use an air exhausting pipe whose maximum length does not exceed 5 meters.
› Do not use flexible ducting.
› Limit the number of elbows in the piping, since each elbow reduces the air capacity of 1
linear meter.
(eg. if you use no. 2 x 90° elbows, the length of piping should not exceed 3 meters).
› Avoid abrupt direction changes.
› Use a 150mm constant diameter rigid ducting pipe for the whole length
(or equal surface area).
› Only use ducting approved by the standards in force.
The manufacturer shall not be deemed responsible for air capacity or noise problems caused by
failure to comply with the above instructions and no warranty on the product shall be provided.
2. Before making the hole, check that there are no structural or other parts inside the cabinet,
where the appliance is to be placed, which could hinder a proper installation. Check that the
dimensions of the Downdraft and the ones of the hob are compatible with the cabinet so that
the installation can be carried out properly.
3. Make a rectangular opening in the back part of the cook top (842x100mm for the 90cm
model and 542x100mm for the 60cm model).

4. Put the Downdraft in the opening, inserting it from above as
shown in (Fig. 2).
5. Fix the downdraft inside the cabinet, using the special fixing
brackets supplied with the product (Fig. 3). Insert the brackets in
the lower side of the downdraft (Fig. 3), in such a way that there
is a 2mm distance between the lower side of bracket and the
bottom of the cabinet (Fig. 3).
This distance will allow the traction to be positioned downwards
of the product, at the moment of fixing, in order to have the
stainless steel trim perfectly adhering with the work surface.
Before inserting the screws, please make sure that the appliance
is perfectly perpendicular with the work surface.
6. Once the installation is complete and after connecting the appliance to the mains power, lift
up the downdraft and remove the door block (Fig. 4); then open the door (Fig. 5) and fit the
filters in place (Fig. 6). In the version of the Downdraft using the DDMEXT11, install the power
unit orienting the air outlet to the desired position, either downwards or upwards (Fig. 7). The
motor can be installed either on the front or rear side of the downdraft. After having installed
the motor, then connect the air ducts.

7. For versions using an external motor, place the external motor in a suitable area and fit the
exhaust air flue as illustrated. Then fit the air outlet ducts between the external motor and the
downdraft. Select an air outlet from the five possibilities (Fig. 8) and fit the union supplied
with the appliance.
8. Place the metal box containing the wiring in an easily accessible area to allow maintenance
interventions where necessary (Fig.9). Connect the connectors (9-pole connector) to control
the actuator and safety control and button pad connector (Fig. 10).
Connect the internal or external motor cable to the terminal board found inside the plastic box
on the downdraft wiring. When performing the electrical connection, take care to respect the
colours of the electrical wires and connect it correctly (Fig 14).

EXTRACTION OPTIONS
This appliance is intended to suck cooking fumes, greases and small amounts of steam. It has
been designed to work in both a ducted mode with outside evacuation and recirculating mode
(using charcoal filters).
DUCTED - OUTSIDE DISCHARGE VERSION
The cooker hood can be mounted in the version with outside discharge for extracted air: in this
case it is necessary to connect the ducting/exhausting channel to the outside (exhausting pipes are
not supplied with the products). Unblock the motor non-return valve if required.
WARNING:
Before connecting the air exhaust hose, make sure that the motor non-return valves can
rotate freely.
In case of outside air discharge installation, fit a non-return valve to prevent wind and back air
from entering.

Instruction manual DD606BK
12 Please keep this instruction manual for future reference
RECIRCULATION MODE
In case fumes and vapour cannot be evacuated outside, the appliance can also be used in
recirculation mode.
Activated charcoal filters are required for this type of installation (the DD606BK
requires CAP27CF).
Air recycled through the charcoal filters is recirculated into the kitchen, due to a duct conveying
the air beneath the cabinet. Air can be vented either through a 5mm slot around the whole plinth
(Fig 11a) or through a plinth grille (Fig 11b).
NOTE:
Universal plinth grille (GRILL/SENSE600) can be purchased at www.caple.co.uk
CAUTION:
The installation must comply with the regulations in force regarding the ventilation of enclosed
environments. In particular, discharged air must not be conveyed into a duct used for fumes
discharge or discharge from appliances using gas or other combustible materials. The use of
discontinued ducts is not allowed without the approval of a qualified technician.

GREASE FILTER REMOVAL,
INSTALLING THE CHARCOAL FILTERS
The removal and fitting of the grease and charcoal filters need to be carried out with the
downdraft in the open position. To open the downdraft, push the ‘1’ key. Then remove the front
panel, pushing the upper part of each side at the same time. The panel will drop forwards to make
it possible to access the grease filters (Fig. 6). Remove the grease filters to access the charcoal
filters (Fig. 12). The replacement of the charcoal filters has to be carried out accordingly to the
effective use of the Downdraft, and in any case they should be replaced at least once every
6 months.
NOTE:
Replacement filters (CAP27CF) can be purchased at www.caple.co.uk. After having replaced the
filters, reinstall the front stainless steel panel, otherwise the Downdraft is not enabled to function.

button.
The downdraft will carry out the calibration of its aspiration panel rising and retracting for some
centimetres. During this phase, the buttons on the push button control panel flash. At the end of
the calibration, the aspiration panel returns to the previous position and the buttons stop flashing.
Wait until the aspiration panel stops moving before re-activating the extraction.
WARNING:
This operation has to be carried out by a specialised technician.
SAFETY SYSTEM
If there is an obstacle present while the extractable unit is closing, the Downdraft stops closing
and rises again thanks to a security system to prevent harm.

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 6 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 650m³/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 THE EXTRACTOR
Careful maintenance helps to ensure the correct operation and good performance over time.
CAUTION:
The hood must be disconnected from the electrical network, both by unplugging the appliance
from the socket and activating the magnetic circuit breaker (safety cut-out), before removing the
metal grease filters. After cleaning, replace the metal grease filters as outlined in the
installation instructions.
MAINTENANCE HOW TO PROCEED? ACCESSORY PRODUCTS TO USE
External surfaces
and accessories
Do not use metallic scrubbers,
abrasive products, or hard brushes.
To clean the external surfaces of the cooker hood
and the light housing screen use only
commercially avail-able household detergents
diluted in water. Then rinse with clean water and
dry with a soft cloth.
Grease filter with
extractable unit open
After 30 hours of operation, the

The grease filters can be washed by
hand or in the dishwasher. These
filters need to be cleaned on a
regular basis, because otherwise
they may represent a fire risk.
Refit the grease filters and
front panel, making sure that the
panel is properly fitted at the sides,
otherwise it may cause the
downdraft to stop operating.
Active charcoal filter
In the recirculation mode, the
active charcoal filter must be
replaced periodically. To remove the
charcoal filter first of all it is
necessary to remove the grease
filter and then pull the plastic key
of the panel itself, in order to
disengage it from its seating.
Follow these steps in reverse order to
insert the active charcoal filter.
