AIR EXTRACTION SETTING
DUCTED INSTALLATION:
Turn the adjuster to the ducted position, install the outlet, turn on the cooker hood. The air will be
extracted to the outside outlet.
RECIRCULATION:
The recirculation mode uses a CAP80CF charcoal filter. Turn the adjuster to the indoor position,
install the outlet cover onto the round ducting spigot, turn on the cooker hood, then the air can be
vented from the front outlet.
NOTE:
We recommend the ducting does not exceed 2.5 metres in length, to ensure maximum efficiency.

OPERATION - PUSH BUTTON CONTROLS
OFF BUTTON
Press the Off button to turn off the extractor.
LOW SPEED BUTTON
Press this button to turn the extractor on at the low fan speed. It is suitable for simmering
and cooking which does not produce much steam or odour.
MEDIUM SPEED BUTTON
Press this button to select the medium fan speed. The airflow speed is ideal for extracting
with standard cooking.
HIGH SPEED BUTTON
Press this button to select the high fan speed. When a high amount of steam or odours are
produced, use the high speed setting for the most effective extraction.
LIGHT BUTTON
Switches the light on and off.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT:
Before cleaning or maintenance please switch off the electricity supply and remove the plug from
the wall.
REGULAR CLEANING
Use a soft damp cloth with lukewarm mildly soapy water or household cleaning detergent. Never
use metal pads, chemicals, abrasive material, abrasive cleaning creams or stiff brushes to clean the
appliance.
CLEANING THE GREASE FILTER
Clean the filter every month to help minimise the risk of fire. The filter collects grease, smoke and
dust, therefore the filter is directly affecting the efficiency of the cooker hood. If not cleaned, the
grease residue (which is potentially flammable) will saturate the filter. It can be easily cleaned with
warm water and washing up liquid, alternatively the filters can be cleaned in your dishwasher.
Please ensure no other items are washed with the filters, they must be washed separately to
prevent food becoming trapped in the gauze. Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher may
lead to discolouration, this is normal and is a not a fault with the product.
REPLACING YOUR CHARCOAL FILTER
This only applies if you are using the hood in recirculation mode (not vented to the outside). The
charcoal filter traps your cooking odours and they need to be replaced, this can vary depending on
how frequently the cooker hood is used. We recommend replacing them at least every 6 months.
This extractor uses CAP80CF charcoal filters. Filters can be purchased directly from
www.caple.co.uk.
