when the heating elements are inserted or removed.
During the thermostatic functioning of the oven, the
neon light remains on until the pre-chosen temperature
is reached and when it goes out, this is a sign that the
temperature has been reached. When the oven cools, the
thermostat determines the re-insertion of the heating
elements with consequent re-lighting of the indicator
lights. The internal oven light is always on when any
function is in operation.

adjoining furniture is made of veneered wood, the adhesives should be able to withstand
a temperature of 120˚C. Plastic materials or adhesive which cannot withstand this
temperature will become deformed or unstuck.
»To comply with safety regulations, once the appliance has been fitted it should not be
possible to make contact with the electrical parts.
»All parts which offer protection should be fixed in such a way that they cannot be removed
without the use of a tool.

CONNECTION TO THE MAINS SUPPLY
WARNING:
This appliance must be earthed
»Check that the power rating of the mains supply and of the sockets are suitable for the
maximum power of the appliance as indicated on the rating plate.
»The plug should be accessible after installation. Fit the plug into a socket fitted with a third
contact which corresponds with the earth connection. This should be properly connected.
If the appliance is fitted with supply leads but not connected to a plug, you must permanently
connect to fixed wiring as follow:
»The yellow/green earth wire, which must be connected to terminal, has to be approximately
10mm longer than the other wires; the blue neutral wire has to be connected to the
terminal marked with letter N.
»Black, brown, red live wires have to be connected to terminal L. Mains connection can also
be made by fitting double pole switch with a minimum gap between the contacts of 3mm,
proportionate to the load and complying with the regulations in force.
»The yellow/green earth wire should not be controlled by the switch.
»The plug or a double pole switch used for mains supply connection should be easy to get
at, once the appliance is in position.
IMPORTANT:
»Position the mains supply cable so that it is never subjected to a temperature which is
more than 50˚C above ambient temperature.
»The electrical safety of the appliance can only be guaranteed when it has been correctly
connected to an efficient earthed power supply, as instructed in the regulations for
electrical safety.
»Caple cannot be held responsible for any damage to persons or objects due to lack of an
earth connection.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
FITTING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE
»Open the terminal box by inserting a screwdriver into the side tabs of the cover. Use the
screwdriver as a lever by pushing it down to open the cover
»Install the power supply cable by loosening the cable clight screw and the three wire
contact screws. Connect the wires to the corresponding terminals:
the Blue wire to the terminal marked ‘N’,the Brown wire to the terminal marked ‘L’ and the
yellow/green wire to the terminal marked .
»Secure the cable by fastening the clight screw.
»Close the cover of the terminal box.
»When wiring the terminal box care must be taken to fit and tighten the links on the live (L)
and neutral (N) terminals

TOP OVEN FUNCTIONS:
CONVENTIONAL HEAT
Both the lower and upper heating elements operate together.
This is the traditional cooking method, perfect for roasting joints, cooking pastry and baking cakes.
BASE HEAT
This function is good for cooking the underside of food, warming up food or sterilising glass jars. It
is also ideal for slow cooking food, i.e. casseroles. This function can be used between 50˚C
and MAX.
TOP HEAT
This function can be used for warming pre-cooked food when placing the grid on the second shelf
from the top. Or for defrosting pastry, place on grid on the
bottom shelf.
FULL GRILL
This function can be used for grilling and gratinating food. When grilling, the oven door must
be closed.

BOTTOM OVEN FUNCTIONS:
LIGHT
Internal oven light
TURBO DEFROST
The air at ambient temperature is distributed inside the oven to speed up defrosting time.
FAN HEAT
Both the fan and the circular heating element operate together.
The fan evenly distributes the hot air (between 50˚C and MAX) inside the oven. This is ideal for
cooking several types of food i.e. meat and fish at the same time without affecting taste and smell.
It is also ideal for delicate pastries.
TURBO GRILL
This function can be used for grilling and gratinating food. When grilling, the oven door must
be closed
COOKING GUIDELINES
»Set the function for the type of cooking required.
»Preheat the oven, setting the thermostat to the required temperature. Once the oven has
heated to the selected temperature, the orange warning light will go out.
»This same light will appear again automatically during operation of the oven to indicate
that the heating elements are on.
»Remove the drip tray when using the oven for conventional cooking, roasting etc. The tray
should be left in place only when using the grill, as its purpose is to catch falling droplets
of fat. Food should be placed in oven dishes with raised edges and positioned centrally
under the grill.
»If the fan heat operation is selected, different foods can be cooked simultaneously (e.g.
meat and fish), although in this case the respective cooking time must be observed.

»Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. For large joints it is advisable to
thaw overnight.
»Frozen poultry should be thoroughly thawed before cooking, the time required depends on
the size of the bird e.g. a large turkey may take up to 48 hours to thaw.
»Adjust the shelf position so the meat or poultry will be in the centre of the oven.
»The times given in the roasting guide are only approximate because the size and age of the
bird will influence cooking times as will the shape of a joint and the proportion of bone.

NOTE:
»If you are cooking a very large turkey, we recommend that it is turned around halfway
through cooking, so that both legs will be cooked evenly.
»Remove any excess fat from the tin before turning, to prevent any fat splashing.
»When cooking stuffed meat or poultry calculate the cooking time from the total weight of
the meat plus the stuffing.
»For joints cooked in foil and for lidded casseroles, add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the
calculated cooking time.
»Smaller joints weighing less than 1.25 kg (2lb) may require 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) extra
cooking time.

To install, align the 2 holes in the catalytic liners with the 2 steel clips in the side of
the oven cavity. Once aligned, attach side racks by pushing these onto the furthest
steel clip and then clicking the other end onto the closest steel clip.
This will secure the catalytic liners to the sides of the oven. To remove, unclip the side
racks from the side of the oven, and remove the catalytic liners.
