Notice:
For the first time you use your oven, we recommend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting
and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open
the oven door and leave the oven to cool down. The odour that is often detected during this initial
use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage and until it is
installed.
Notice:
Never place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage
the enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminum foil, etc.) on the chrome shelf.
Fan heat
Position of temperature selection knob “C”: between 50℃ and max
This method of cooking uses the circular element at the back of the oven while the heat is distributed
by the fan, resulting in a fast and economical operation. Different types of food can be cooked
simultaneously, without the transmission of smells and tastes from one to another. Food is cooked
crisp on the outside but is soft and juicy in the middle.
Grill
Position of temperature selection knob “C”: Max.
The top heating element comes on.
The extremely high and direct heat is a healthy way to cook thin meat or fish cuts, to toast or brown,
or to melt toppings.
Turbo grill
Position of temperature selection knob “C”: between 50℃ and 200℃.
The top heating element and fan come on. This combination of features increases the effectiveness
of the grill element and provides a less focused heat source.
This mode is ideal for cooking thicker meat or fish cuts like steaks or chops.
Timer(D)
The minute minder timer can be set to up to 2 hours. Please note – when the timer sounds, this does
not de-activate the cooking. The oven needs to be turned off or adjusted manually.
Oven light
Set knob “B” to symbol
to turn the oven light on. The oven light is illuminated when the oven is in
operation. This function is useful on its own for cleaning the oven interior.
Cooling fan
In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, the oven is equipped with a cooling fan which
comes on automatically when the oven is hot, and remains on after the oven is turned off, for a short
time.

Note: do not turn off the power while the oven is cooling.
How to look after your oven
Before cleaning your oven or performing maintenance, disconnect it from the power supply. To
extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently:
1 Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
2 The inside of the oven and stainless steel parts should be cleaned after every use, when the oven
is cool, with a soft damp cloth with mild detergent. The detergent should be wiped away and the
interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents (for example cleaning powders, etc...)
and abrasive sponges or acids (such as limescale-remover, etc…) as these could damage the
enamel and stainless steel. If the grease spots and dirt are particularly tough to remove, use a
special product for oven cleaning, following the instructions provided on the packet.
3 If you use your oven for an extended period of time, condensation may form. Dry it using a soft
cloth.
4 There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which guarantees its perfect functioning.
Check the condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it and avoid using abrasive
products or objects to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact Caple service. We
recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.
5 Never line the oven bottom with aluminum foil, as the accumulation of heat could compromise
the cooking functionality and even damage the enamel.
6 Clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.
7 Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass as they
can scratch the surface, and could cause the glass to break.
How to remove the oven door
For a more thorough clean, you can remove the oven door, proceed as follows:
Open the door fully.
Lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two hinges;
Grip the door on the two external sides; close it slowly but not completely;
Pull the door towards you, pulling it out of its seat.
The door is replaced by reversing this process.
