-If the room where the hood is to be used contains a fuel
burning appliance such as a central heating boiler then
its flue must be of the sealed or balanced flue type. If
other types of flue or appliances are fitted ensure that
there is an adequate supply of air to the room.
-The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used
for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or
other fuels.
-Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be
conformed to.
-Do not flambé under the cooker hood.
-Never leave frying pans unattended during use as over-
heated fats and oils may catch fire.
-To ensure the best performance, we recommend
switching on the extractor 15 minutes before cooking
and leave it running 15 minutes after. This will ensure
that the air in the kitchen is being circulated before
cooking commences and the air is being cleaned after
cooking has finished.
-The performance of your extractor will vary depending
on a number of factors. These include type of extraction,
room volume, length of ducting, ventilation available and
the cleanliness of the filters.

Installing the charcoal filter (CAP60CF)
If you are not externally venting this extractor, you will require the CAP60CF
recirculating filters to use this extractor in recirculation mode (not included). To
install these, firstly pull the retractable front panel out to expose both aluminum
grease filters. Remove these grease filters by pressing the release button and pulling
downwards as shown below.
Fit the charcoal filter onto the side of the motor and turn it in a clockwise direction
to lock into place. Repeat the same on the other side.
NOTE:
Make sure the filter is securely locked. Otherwise, it may loosen and be dangerous.
When using a charcoal filter, the extraction
power may be slightly reduced.
We recommend replacing these filters
every 6 months. Replacement filters
(CAP60CF) can be purchased directly
from www.caple.co.uk

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 CAP60CF charcoal filters. Filters can be purchased directly from
www.caple.co.uk.
