DURING USAGE

Heat the empty oven at max. temperature for 1 hour before its first use. This removes any unpleasant smells and smoke caused by working residues and thermal insulation. Make sure you do this in a well ventilated area.

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.

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 32amp.

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:

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.

USING YOUR OVEN

CONTROL PANEL

TOP OVEN 4 FUNCTIONS / MAIN OVEN 4 FUNCTIONS

caple C3246 Classic Built - InElectric Double Oven-5

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 cake.

BASE HEAT
This function is good for cooking the underside of food, warming up food or sterilising glass jars. I 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.

If you use your oven for an extended period of time, condensation may form. Dry it using a non-abrasive cloth.
There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it, avoid using abrasive products or objects to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact Caple Service. We recommend you do not use the oven until it has been repaired.
Never line the oven bottom with aluminium foil, as the consequent accumulation of heat could compromise the cooking and even damage the enamel.
Clear the glass door using a damp cloth and dry it with a non-abrasive 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 shattering of the glass.
