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 con-
ductor cross-sectional area of 1.5 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 with-
in the capacity of the double pole isolat-
ing 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 6 and that all pack-
ing material has been removed.
IMPORTANT
Materials used to build the oven housing
must be capable ot withstanding temper-
atures of up to 100°C and the housing

General features
This is a MULTI-FUNCTION oven.
As its name indicates, this is an oven
that presents particular features from an
operational point of view.
In fact, it is possible to insert 7 different
programs to satisfy every cooking need.
The 7 positions, thermostatically con-
trolled, are obtained by 4 heating ele-
ments which are:
- Lower element 1400 W
- Upper element 1000 W
- Grill element 2500 W
- Circular element 2500 W

Operating principles
Heating and cooking in the MULTI-FUNCTION oven are obtained in the following ways:
a. by normal convection. The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.
b. by forced convection
A fan sucks in the air contained in the oven muffle, which sends it through the circular
heating element and then sends it back through the muffle. Before the hot air is
sucked back again by the fan to repeat the described cycle, it envelops the food in
the oven, provoking a complete and rapid cooking.
It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously.
c. by semi-forced convection
The heat produced by the upper and lower heating elements is distributed throughout
the oven by the fan.
d. by radiation
The heat is irradiated by the infra red grill element.
e. by radiation and ventilation
The irradiated heat from the infra red grill element is distributed throughout the oven
by the fan.

Function selector knob
Rotate the knob clockwise to set the
oven for one of the following functions.
Thermostat knob
This only sets the cooking temperature
and does not switch the oven on.
Rotate clockwise until the required tem-
perature is reached (from 50 to 250°C)
OVEN
The upper and lower heating elements
come on. The heat is dispersed by nat-
ural convection and the temperature
must be set to between 50° and 250°C
via the thermostat knob.
The oven must be preheated before
cooking.
Recommended for:
Food that requires the same degree of
cooking both inside and out, for example
roasts, spare pork ribs, meringues etc.
LIGHT
By setting the knob to this position, only
the oven light comes on (15 W).
It remains on in all the cooking modes.
DEFROST
Only the oven fan comes on. Use with
the thermostat knob set to “0” - other
positions have no effect. The food is
thawed by ventilation without heating.
Recommended for:
Quick thawing of frozen foods; one kg
requires approximately 1 hour.
Thawing times vary according to the
quantity and type of food to be thawed.
GRILL
The infrared electrical resistance comes
on. The heat is dispersed by radiation.
Use with the thermostat knob set to
200°C and the oven door closed.
For cooking hints, see the chapter
“GRILLING and AU GRATIN”.
Caution: The oven door becomes
very hot during operation. Keep
children well out of reach.
Recommended for:
Intense grilling, browning, cooking au
gratin and toasting etc.
It is recommended that you do not
grill for longer than 30 minutes at any
one time.
7 - Function Oven

13
GRILL & FAN
The infrared grill and the fan come on.
The heat is dispersed mainly by radia-
tion and the fan then distributes it all
over the oven.
Use with the door closed. The temper-
ature can be regulated via the thermo-
stat knob to between 50° and 175° max.
The oven must be preheated for approx-
imately 5 minutes. For cooking hints,
see the chapter “GRILLING AND
COOKING AU GRATIN.
Caution: The oven door becomes
very hot during operation. Keep
children well out of reach.
Recommended for:
Grilling where quick browning on the
outside is required to keep the juices in.
For example: veal steaks, chops, ham-
burgers etc.
It is recommended that you do not
grill for longer than 30 minutes at any
one time.
WARMER
The upper resistance, the circular resis-
tance and the fan come on.
The heat is dispersed by forced convec-
tion with greater intensity in the upper
part.
The temperature can be set to between
50° and 140°C via the thermostat knob.
Recommended for:
Keeping food warm after any type of
cooking. Slow heating of cooked food.
CONVENTIONAL & FAN
The upper and lower heating elements
come on and the fan.
The heat coming from above and below
is dispersed by convection with ventila-
tion.
The temperature can be set to between
50° and 250°C via the thermostat knob.
Recommended for:
Voluminous dishes and large quantities
which require the same degree of cook-
ing both inside and out, for example
rolled roasts, turkey, roast legs, cakes
etc.
7 - Function Oven
FAN OVEN
The circular resistance and fan come
on. The heat is dispersed by forced con-
vection and the temperature can be reg-
ulated to between 50° and 250°C via the
thermostat knob. The oven does not
require preheating.
Recommended for:
Food which has to be well-cooked out-
side and soft or rosy inside, for example
lasagne, lamb, roast beef, whole fish
etc.

14
Regeneration
Set the switch to position CON-
VENTIONAL & FAN and the ther-
mostat knob to position 150° C.
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with
a few drops of water and put into the
oven for about 10 minutes at the highest
temperature.
Simultaneous cooking of
different foods
The MULTI-FUNCTION oven set on
position CONVENTIONAL &
FAN consents a simultaneous hetero-
geneous cooking of different foods.
Different foods such as fish, cake and
meat can be cooked together without
mixing the smells and flavors together.
This is possible since the fats and
vapors are oxidized while passing
through the electrical element and there-
fore are not deposited onto the foods.
The only precaution to follow are:
– The cooking temperatures of the dif-
ferent foods must be as close to as
possible, with a maximum difference of
20° - 25 °C.
– The introduction of the different dishes
in the oven must be done at different
times in relation to the cooking times
of each one.
The time and energy saved with this type
of cooking is obvious.
Grilling and “au gratin”
Grilling may be done without the roasting
jack on position GRILL & FAN of
the switch, because the hot air completely
envelops the food that is to be cooked.
Set the thermostat to position 175 °C
and after having preheated the oven,
simply place the food on the rack.
Close the door and let the oven operate
with the thermostat on position 175 °C,
until grilling is done.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the
end of the cooking time gives the golden
“au gratin” effect.
It is recommended that you do not
grill for longer than 30 minutes at any
one time.
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
