Switch the oven controls off.
Always switch off at the isolating switch
before cleaning the appliance, or

Instruction Book

This appliance should only be used for
its intended purpose as described in
these instructions.
Ensure that you fully understand these
instructions before operating this appli­ance.

Space Requirements

Ensure that the specified ventilation
space around the appliance is not
obstructed.

Food Splashes

Always wipe clean the oven after use.
Food splashes can carry on cooking
next time and may become a fire haz­ard.

Hot Surfaces

It is important to remember that the sur­faces of cooking appliances get hot dur­ing use and retain the heat for some
time after switching off.
It is therefore advisable to keep small
children away from the appliance.

The Grill and Top oven ele­ment

are exposed, so take great care when
placing food in the oven or removing it.
Use the grill pan handles or gloves.

Safety Reminders

This Installation should be carried out by
a competent electrician in accordance
with current l.E.E. Regulations.

This CAPLE product must be connected
to an electricity supply at the voltage
shown on the rating plate. Connection
must be made via a double pole isolating
switch with a contact separation of at
least 3 mm.

Use supply cable, having a minimum
conductor cross-sectional area of 2.5
mm

2

(3 cables).

Allow sufficient length in the supply
cable(s) for removal of the appliance(s)
for any subsequent servicing. Ensure
that this extra cable is not trapped and
is not in contact with the underside of
any hob when fitting the appliance(s) in
position.

As with all electrical appliances aIways
switch off the electricity supply when not
in use for long periods (when on holiday)
and before attempting any maintenance
task.

Fitting Into position

Your new CAPLE oven is designed to fit
into a kitchen unit which is at least 555
mm deep.

Before proceeding with the installation,
check that the oven will fit into the space
intended for it, appropriate ventilation
slots are provided as per installation
instructions on page 6 and that all pack­ing material has been removed.

IMPORTANT

Materials used to build the oven housing
must be capable ot withstanding temper­atures of up to 100°C and the housing
must be firmly fixed in position.

Before Use

Check that all accessories have been
removed from the oven interior.

Set the temperature to maximum posi­tion using the temperature control
knob.

Leave on for approximately 30 min­utes. This will burn off any protective
coating applied to the oven during
manufacture.

The kitchen should be well ventilated
during this time as there may be an
odour given off.

When cool, wash the accessories and
the oven with warm water and mild
detergent.

WARNING!

ELECTRICITY CAN BE

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

The oven is designed to fit into a cabinet
600 mm width. The oven should be built
into kitchen units (figs. 4a - 4b), but you
must

e

nsure that it is properly in the dia­gram the oven is ventilated by mean of
the space in the top of the kitchen cab­inet (see diagram).

Failure to allow adequate ventilation for
the appliance may result in over heating
or damage to adjacent units.

Caple does not accapt any responsibil­ity for any damage caused due to non­compliance with these instructions.

To install the oven into a kitchen unit
(figs. 4a - 4b) first ensure that the oven
housing is firmly secured to the wall
and/or adjacent fittings.

Lift the oven carefully into position on the
shelf, taking care NOT to lift it by the
door handle.
If you lower the oven door, you will see
four screw holes, two on each side of the
oven.
The oven should then be secured to the
housing by fitting screws into these
holes.

Cooking in a Conventional
Top Oven

The oven has two heating elements, one
on the base and one on the roof of the
cooker.
Hot air rises, so the top of the oven is
always the hottest.
The temperature in the middle of the
oven is maintained at the temperature
set by the control knob, and is slightly
hotter above and cooler below.

In a conventional oven, dishes requiring
different temperatures can be cooked in
the oven at the same time - e.g. roast
beef and Yorkshire pudding.

Always pre-heat a conventional oven
before use.
The oven indicator light will go out when
the required temperature is reached.
Do not open the oven door during
cooking unless absolutely necessary.

IMPORTANT: Drip trays, baking trays
etc. must not be left on the base of the
oven as this could damage the
appliance.

Cooking in a Main Fan Oven

The fan is situated on the back wall of
the oven.
The heating element encircles the fan,
and the fan forces this heat into the
oven, through the sidewalls, creating a
more even temperature than a conven­tional oven.
The moving hot air surrounds the food
and penetrates it more quickly than in a
conventional oven.
The oven can be filled with foods all
requiring the same cooking temperature.
Subtract 10 minutes per hour for every
dish requiring a conventional cooking
time of more than one hour, and to
reduce the heat by 10-20°C; the hotter
the oven, the more heat can be reduced.

Generally, there is no necessary to pre­heat a fan oven.
However, pre-heating for 5 minutes
ensure the best results.
When the fan is turned on and the
temperature control set is at 0°C, the
oven can be used for defrosting food.
This is ideal for gelatin based dishes and
softening ice-cream - a microwave oven
is much too strong for these dishes.
Proving yeast based dishes is also
speeded up this way.
If the oven door has been opened, the
fan oven quickly regains its temperature
once the door is closed.
