Caple DD522BK 52 cm Modular Flip Downdraft Extractor is a stylish and efficient downdraft cooker hood that stays hidden when not in use yet delivers strong ventilation when you need it. The hood rises from your worktop to capture steam, smoke and cooking odours right at the source, making it ideal for island or modular hob installations where you want a clean, uncluttered look. It features illuminated touch controls, four fan speeds, an auto‑timer function that switches off after 10 minutes, and aluminium grease filters that help trap grease for easier cleaning. Perimetrical extraction design reduces noise while increasing pressure to improve motor efficiency, and extraction is from both sides of the unit for better coverage. A recirculation kit is available if external venting isn’t possible, and the hood requires a separate extraction motor (sold separately) to complete installation.
When it comes to performance the DD522BK supports dependable extractor fan kitchen ventilation with energy class A‑C (depending on motor choice) and a compact 52 cm width that fits standard downdraft openings. The unit works with a 150 mm ducting system and must be installed with the electrics box at least 650 mm from the hob for safety. With simple touch controls, four speeds, a timer, and easy‑clean filters, this modular flip downdraft extractor combines practical everyday extraction with a sleek, integrated design that keeps kitchen sightlines clear until you need it.
