Introduction

Thank you for choosing this Caple extractor hood.

To ensure that you get the best results from your new extractor, we

strongly suggest that you read this instruction manual thoroughly before

. .

. If treated with care, your Caple extractor should give you years of

trouble-free use.

To register ownership, please ensure you complete and return the

guarantee card supplied with the appliance.

This instruction manual is designed to provide you with all required

information related to the installation, use and maintenance of the

appliance.

These cooker hoods are designed to extract unpleasant odours from the

kitchen; they are not intended to extract steam.

In order to operate the unit correctly and safety, please read this

instruction manual carefully before installation and use.

The cooker hood uses high quality materials, and is made with a

streamlined design. Equipped with an electric motor and centrifugal fan,

it provides strong extraction with low noise. It also features non-stick

grease filters and an easy installation.

Safety precautions

personnel only. Please contact the Caple service department.

-

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.

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.
