GENERAL WARNINGS:
Read carefully all the instructions contained in this manual. It provides you with important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance as well as useful advice for getting the best out of your microwave oven. Keep this booklet in a safe place for future reference. After removing the packing, check that the appliance is not damaged in any way. Be careful not to leave the packing materials (plastic sheeting, expanded polystyrene etc.) where children can get at them, as they can be dangerous.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the microwave door handle to move the appliance, such as to remove it from the packaging.
ATTENTION: A microwave oven is an appliance that, for its nature, becomes hot during use, especially the glass door. It is therefore a good rule that children do not approach the microwave oven when it is functioning.

This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

• Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, and other working environments.
• Farm Houses.
• By clients in hotels, motels, and other residential-type environments.
• Bed and breakfast type environments.

The electrical system of this appliance may be used safely only when it is correctly connected to an efficient earthing system in compliance with the safety standards currently in effect.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages that might arise out of incorrect or improper use of the appliance. The following items are potentially dangerous, and therefore, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent children and the disabled from coming into contact with them:

• Controls and the appliance in general
• Packaging (bags, polystyrene, nails, etc.)
• The appliance when no longer in use (potentially dangerous parts must be made safe).

WARNING:
Accessible parts will become hot when in use. To avoid burns and scalds children should be kept away. During use the appliance becomes hot, care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.

• If the door or door seals are damaged, the microwave must not be operated until it has been repaired by a Caple approved engineer.
• It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
• Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
• Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the microwave due to the possibility of ignition.

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT:
Isolate your microwave oven from the electrical supply before performing installation or maintenance. Installation should be carried out according to the instructions by a professionally qualified person only. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to persons, animals or materials due to incorrect installation.

FITTING THE APPLIANCE:
Fit the appliance into its surround (beneath a worktop or above another appliance in a tall housing) by inserting screws into the 4 holes (A – fig.3) that can be seen in the frame of the oven when the door is open.
For the most efficient air circulation, the microwave oven should be fitted according to the dimensions shown in fig.1.

The rear panel of the cabinet must be removed so that air can circulate freely. The panel to which the microwave oven is fitted should have a gap of at least 50mm at the rear for ventilation (fig.4 & fig.5).

See below for full dimensional drawings of your microwave oven to help with installation. For a built-in oven microwave to work well the cabinet must be of the right type. The panels of the adjoining furniture should be heat resistant. Particularly when the adjoining furniture is made of veneered wood, the adhesives should be able to withstand a temperature of 120ºC. Plastic materials or adhesive which cannot withstand this temperature may 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.

MICROWAVE OVEN DIMENSIONS

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING:
This appliance must be earthed.

• Check that the power rating of the mains supply is suitable for the maximum power of the appliance as indicated on the rating label.
• The fuse rating for this appliance is 10amp.

The appliance is supplied with a mains lead it should be “Hard wired” as follows:

• The “yellow/green” earth wire, which must be connected to a terminal, and has to be about 10mm longer than the other wire.
• The neutral wire has to be connected to the terminal marked with a letter N.
• The Live wire should only be connected to the terminal marked L.
• Mains connection can also be made by fitting a 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.
When a double pole switch is used for mains supply connection it should be easily accessed, once the appliance is in position.
IMPORTANT:
The mains supply cable should be positioned so that it is never subjected to temperatures which are more than 50ºC above ambient temperature. The electrical safety of the appliance can only be guaranteed when it has been correctly connected to a properly earthed mains electrical supply, as laid down in the current regulations for electrical safety. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage to persons or objects due to lack of an earth connection. The ovens are designed to operate with a mono-phase alternating current of 220-240V, 50Hz.

IMPORTANT:
Before the installation of the appliance, check the specifications on the rating label.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT:
Unplug your oven before cleaning, or performing maintenance. To extend the life of your microwave oven, it must be cleaned frequently, keeping in mind the following:

DO NOT USE STEAM EQUIPMENT TO CLEAN THE APPLIANCE:
To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the unit, cord or plug in water or other liquid or sprinkle water to clean the appliance.

• Don’t clean the appliance when it still hot. The inside and external surface of the oven should preferably be cleaned by damp cloth when it is cooled down.
• Wash all accessories in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher, wipe dry with a paper or cloth towel.
• If you use your oven for an extended period of time, condensation may form. Dry it using a soft cloth.
• There is a 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.
• Never line the oven bottom with aluminum foil, as the consequent accumulation of heat could compromise the cooking and even damage the enamel.
• Clean the glass door using a damp cloth and dry it with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in the shattering of the glass.

REMOVING THE OVEN DOOR

To make it easier to clean the inside of your microwave, the oven door can be easily removed, by proceeding as follows (fig. 11):

• Open the door completely and lift the 2 levers “B” (fig.11-1).
• Now, shutting the door slightly, you can lift it out by pulling out the hooks “A” as shown in figure 11-2.

To reassemble the door:

• With the door in a vertical position, insert the two hooks “A” into the slots.
• Ensure that seat “D” is hooked perfectly onto the edge of the slot (move the oven door backwards and forward slightly).
• Keep the oven door open fully, unhook the 2 levers “B” downwards and then shut the door again.
