This document is an instruction manual for the Caple CE902SS/CE902WH Ceiling Hood.
Function Description
The Caple CE902SS/CE902WH is a ceiling-mounted cooker hood designed to extract vapours and remove odours from cooking in domestic settings. It is intended for use in household and similar applications, including staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, and other working environments, farmhouses, hotels, motels, and other residential-type environments, and bed and breakfast type environments. The hood can operate in extraction mode, conveying extracted air through a duct, or in recirculation mode. When operating in extraction mode, it is crucial to ensure adequate aeration in the room, especially when other non-electric appliances (gas, oil, or coal stoves) are used simultaneously, to prevent negative pressure exceeding 0.04 mbar. For recirculation hoods fitted above a gas hob, an adequate supply of fresh air into the room is necessary. The appliance is equipped with intelligent electronics that include a timer device for speed controls when the air capacity exceeds 650m³/h.
