Safety Reminders
Instruction Book
This appliance should only be used for
it’s 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 sur-
faces 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 ele-
ment
are exposed, so take great care when
placing food in the oven or removing it.
Use the grill pan handles or gloves.

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 3mm.
Use supply cable, having a minimum
conductor cross-sectional area of
1.25 mm2.
Where both hob unit and an oven are
to be installed adjacent to each other,
both appliances may be supplied via
the same double pole isolating switch
using separate supply cables. Check that
the total loading of the installation is
within the capacity of the double pole
isolating switch and the supply circuit.
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 550
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 5 and that all
packing material has been removed.
IMPORTANT
Materials used to build the oven housing
must be capable ot withstanding tempe-
ratures 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 225°C using
the temperature control knob.
Leave on for approximately 30 minu-
tes. 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.

How To Install Your Oven
The oven is designed to fit into a cabinet
600 mm wide. The oven can be built-in
or built-under the kitchen units.
It is essential that the oven housing
is well ventilated.
If the oven is being installed into a fully
enclosed built-under oven housing (fig. 4) it
may be necessary to cut a small slot in the
top of the plinth panel fitted under the unit.
Cut a section 400 mm wide and a minimum
of 15 mm high to allow air to pass under
the unit. Also ensure that the front rail the
top of the unit is not installed as it could
restrict ventilation.
If the oven is being built in to a kitchen
unit (fig. 5) ensure that the oven is ven-
tilated with a 50 mm space at the top of
the kitchen unut.
Fallure to allow adequate ventilation for
the appliance may result in over heating
or damage to adjacent units.
Caple does not accapt any responsibi-
lity for any damage caused due to non-
compliance with these instructions.
To install the oven into a kitchen unit (fig.
5) first ensure that the oven housing is
firmlysecured 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 fower 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.

How To Use Your Oven
Fig. 6
You will find the following items delivered
with your oven; grill pan and 1 x handle,
2 wire side frames, 2 shelves, instruction
booklet and guarantee card.
The rating plate can be found on the
bottom right hand side of the inner door.
Before using the oven for the first time
we recommend that you clean it with
soapy water. Rinse carefully and heat for
30 minutes at maximum temperature.
A slightly unpleasant smell may be
produced, caused by grease remaining
on the oven elements from the
production process.
Attach the side frames as shown in fig. 6.

Control panel
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 conven-
tional 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 pre-
heat a fan oven. However, pre-heating
for 5 minutes ensure the best results.
When the fan is turned on and the tem-
perature 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.

How To Use Your Oven
A. Autotimer
The electronic programmer is a device which groups together the following
functions:
– 24 hours clock with illuminated display
– Timer (up to 23 hours and 59 minutes)
– Program for automatic oven cooking
– Program for semi-automatic oven cooking.
Description of the buttons:
Timer
Cooking time
End of cooking time
Manual position and cancellation of programmed cooking
Advancement of the numbers of all programs
Turning back of the numbers of all programs and changing the frequency of the
audible signal.
Description of the lighted symbols:
AUTO - flashing - Programmer in automatic position but not programmed
AUTO -always lighted - Programmer in automatic position with program inserted.
Automatic cooking taking place
Timer in operation
and AUTO - flashing - Program error.
(The time of day lies between the calculated cooking start and end time).
NOTE: Select a function using the respective button and, in 5 seconds, set the required
time with the / buttons (“one-hand” operation).
A power-cut makes the clock go to zero and cancels the set programs.
Electronic Clock
The programmer is equipped with an electronic clock with lighted numbers which indi-
cates hours and minutes.
Upon immediate connection of the oven or after a power-cut, three zeros will flash on
the programmer panel.
To set the hour it is necessary to push the button and then the or button
until you have set the exact hour.
In another way push simultaneously the two buttons and at the same time push
the or button.
NOTE: The hour setting after programmation delete any program.

Normal Cooking without the use of the Programmer
To manually use the oven, that is, without the aid of the programmer, it is necessary
to cancel the flashing AUTO by pushing the button (AUTO will be switched off and
the symbol will go on).
Attention: If the AUTO is steady lighted (which means a cooking program has already
been inserted), by pushing the button you will cancel the program and revert to
manual operation.
If the oven is switched on, remember you must switch off manually.
Electronic Timer
The timer program consists only of a buzzer which may be set for a maximum period
of 23 hours and 59 minutes.
If the AUTO is flashing push the button.
To set the time, push the button and the or until you obtain the desired time
in the panel (fig. 8). Having finished the setting, the clock hour will appear on the panel
and the symbol will be lighted.
The countdown will start immediately and may be seen at any moment on the panel
by simply pressing the button . At the end of the time, the symbol will be switched
off and an intermittent buzzer will sound; this can be stopped by pressing one of any
of the buttons.
Setting the frequency of the Audible Signal
The selection from 3 possibilities of sound can be made by pressing the button.
The last setting remains on.
Setting the Automatic Oven Cooking
To cook food automatically in the oven, it is necessary to:
1. Set the length of the cooking time
2. Set the end of the cooking time
3. Set the temperature and the oven cooking program.
These operations are done in the following way:
1. Set the length of the cooking time by pushing the button and the button to
advance, or to go back if you have passed the desired time. The AUTO and the
symbol will be on.
2. Set the end of the cooking time by pressing the button (the cooking time already
added to the clock time will appear), and the button; if you pass the desired time
you may get back by pushing the button.
After this setting, the symbol will go off. If after this setting, the AUTO flashes
on the panel and a buzzer sounds, it means there was an error in the programming,
that is that the cooking cycle has been superimposed on the clock. In this case,
modify the end of cooking time or the cooking time itself by following again the above
mentioned instructions.

3. Set the temperature and the cooking program by using the switch and thermostat
knobs of the oven (see specific chapters).
Now the oven is programmed and everything will work automatically, that is the oven
will turn on at the right moment and end the cooking at the selected time.
During cooking, the symbol remains on.
By pushing the button you can see the time that remains until the end of cooking.
The cooking program may be cancelled at any moment by pushing .
At the end of the cooking time the oven will turn off automatically, the symbol will
turn off, AUTO will flash and a buzzer will sound, which can be turned off by pushing
any of the buttons.
Turn the switch and thermostat knobs to zero and put the programmer onto “manual”
by pressing the button.
Attention: A power-cut makes the clock go to zero and cancels the set programs.
After a power-cut, three zeros will flash on the panel.
Setting the Semi-Automatic Oven Cooking
This is used to switch automatically off the oven after the desired cooking time has ela-
psed. To effect the semi-automatic cooking there are two ways:
1. Set the length of the cooking time by pushing the button and the button to
advance, or to go backwards if you have passed the desired time.
or
2. Set the end of the cooking time by pushing the button and the button to
advance, or to go backwards if you have passed the desired time.
AUTO and the symbol will be on.
Then set the temperature and the cooking program using the oven switch and thermostat
knobs (see specific chapters).
The oven is switched on and it will be switched off automatically at the end of the
desired time.
During cooking, the symbol remains on and by pressing the button you can see
the time that remains till the end of the cooking. The cooking program can be can-
celled at any moment by pushing the button. At the end of the cooking, the oven
and the symbol will turn off, the AUTO will flash and a buzzer will sound; that can
be stopped by pushing any of the buttons.Turn the switch and thermostat knobs to zero
and set the programmer onto “manual” by pressing the button.

N.B. For fan ovens reduce the tempera-
ture by 10-20°C. For any dish taking one
hour or over to cook, reduce the cooking
time by 10 minutes per hour.
*Shelf positions have been counted
from the top of the oven to the base.
A fan oven creates more even tempera-
ture throughout, therefore the shelf posi-
tions are not as critical.
