What to do if the lights and fan on my Caple FSCHSS9 Ventilation Hood do not work?
If your Caple Ventilation Hood's lights and fan aren't working, it could be due to a blown fuse. In this case, replace the fuse. Another possible cause is a loose power cord. Ensure it is properly plugged into the power supply.
Why is my Caple FSCHSS9 vibrating so much?
If your Caple Ventilation Hood is vibrating excessively, it might be due to a damaged fan blade or a fan motor that isn't tightly fixed. In either case, switch off the unit and contact Caple Service for qualified repair. Alternatively, the unit may not be correctly hung on the bracket. In this instance, take down the unit and check the bracket's location.
How to improve the extraction performance of my Caple Ventilation Hood?
If the extraction performance of your Caple Ventilation Hood isn't up to par, the filter likely needs cleaning. Clean the grease filter as instructed in the ‘Care and maintenance’ section. If your unit is in recirculation mode, consider replacing the charcoal filter.
What to do if the lights are on but the fan doesn't work on my Caple FSCHSS9?
If the lights on your Caple Ventilation Hood are on, but the fan isn't working, it could be that the fan blade is jammed or the motor is damaged. In the case of a jammed fan blade, switch off the unit and contact Caple Service. This should only be repaired by qualified service personnel.
This document serves as an instruction manual for the Caple FSCHSS9 Conventional Hood, providing comprehensive guidance on its installation, operation, and maintenance. The hood is designed to effectively extract unpleasant odors from the kitchen, utilizing high-quality materials and a streamlined design for strong extraction with low noise. It is equipped with an electric motor and centrifugal fan, and features non-stick grease filters for ease of cleaning.
The Caple FSCHSS9 Conventional Hood is primarily intended for domestic use to remove cooking odors from the kitchen environment. It is not designed for steam extraction, barbecuing, or commercial purposes. The hood operates by circulating air, either extracting it to the outside (ducted mode) or recirculating it through charcoal filters (recirculation mode). For optimal performance, it is recommended to switch on the extractor 15 minutes before cooking and let it run for 15 minutes after cooking to ensure thorough air circulation and cleaning. The hood offers three fan speeds: low, medium, and high, allowing users to adjust the extraction power based on the intensity of cooking odors and steam. A dedicated light button controls the integrated lighting, which uses a light source of energy efficiency class G.
The hood is controlled via push buttons located on the unit.
The hood can be set up in two primary modes:
The installation process involves either mounting the hood onto a wall or attaching it to the bottom of a hanging cupboard. Specific instructions are provided for drilling holes and securing the unit. The minimum distance between the hob and the hood is crucial for safety and performance, with a general recommendation of 65-76cm, but always deferring to the hob manufacturer's specified clearance (at least 760mm for gas hobs if no other instructions are given).
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the hood's optimal performance and longevity, as well as to minimize fire risks.
Before any cleaning or maintenance, it is crucial to switch off the electricity supply and unplug the appliance from the wall to ensure safety. The appliance is designed to be connected to the mains by a competent person, preferably a qualified electrician who complies with I.E.E and local regulations. The hood is a Class II appliance, meaning it does not require an earth connection.
