WARNING
Keep these instructions for use with the

you for taking note of these suggestions
before installing and using the appliance.
They have been written for your personal
safety and the safety of others.
SAFTEY INSTRUCTIONS
These hoods have been designed for personal
use in the home. The appliance must be used by
adults. Make sure that the appliance is out of
reach of children and that they do not use it to
play with. Make sure that children do not operate
the controls.
● When the appliance is delivered, check the
overall appearance of the packaging. Any
remarks should be written on the delivery note, of
which you keep a copy.
Your appliance is designed for normal domestic
use. It is not designed for commercial or industrial
use, or for purposes other than those for which it
was designed.
● Any consequences of or damage from incorrect
installation or incorrect use of the appliance will not
be covered by the manufacturer's guarantee.
● Do not ever change or try to change the
characteristics of this appliance. This would be a
danger. Repairs must be performed only by a
Caple approved engineer. Always disconnect the
hood before carrying out cleaning or maintenance
operations.
● Adequately ventilate the room when a cooker
hood and other appliances, powered by energy
other than electricity, are used simultaneously, so
that the hood does not extract any combustion
fumes.
● Do not cook food over open flames (flambé)
or operate gas hobs without pots or pans on
them by the downdraft itself (the flames extracted
into the downdraft might damage the appliance).
● Frying next to the appliance 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.
● This appliance must not be used near hobs
powered by wood or coal or in any case, over
hobs with power levels that could damage the
appliance.
Never use steam or high-pressure devices for
cleaning your hood (regulations regarding
electrical safety).
● Never use the cooker hood without the grease
filters.
Constantly seeking to improve our products,
we reserve the right to modify their technical,
functional, or aesthetic characteristics deriving
from their upgrading.
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
the same manufacturer.
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
