INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: ISOLATE YOUR STEAM 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 and plastic covers into the 2 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 steam oven should be fitted according to the dimensions shown in fig. 1.

Fig.3 Plastic cover

The rear panel of the cabinet must be removed so that air can circulate freely. The panel to which the oven is fitted should have a gap of at least 70 mm at the rear for ventilation (fig.4 & fig.5).

For a built-in steam oven 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 120^ C. 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.

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 16amp.

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 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 50^ C 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.

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

OVEN FUNCTIONS

Press the programme button continuously to scroll through the below functions.

	Lights - Press the light button on the control panel to turn on and off the internal oven lights.
	Defrost - The air at ambient temperature is distributed inside the oven for defrosting food more quickly.

	Grill - The Grill function is used for grilling small or large quantities of food. The door must always be closed when using this function.
	Turbo grill - Using just the grill element, the heated air is then circulated around the oven by the fan for faster and more even cooking.
	Steam cooking - This function is used for steaming food. Its low cooking temperatures are also ideal for reheating foods.
	Turbo grill and steam cooking - This function allows you to cook food with the turbo grill function, with the added steam to help preserve moisture and flavours
	Fan heat and steam cooking - This function uses normal Fan heat with the added steam to help cook the food and preserve moisture and flavours.
	Descaling - This function is used for descaling the water system.See page 20 for more information.

Note: When using a steam function, ensure the water tank is suitably filled depending on cooking times.

STEAM COOKING TIPS

It is fat free and has the advantage of preserving the original flavour of the food. In this case, the food is not cooked with water but with water vapour. Steam cooking is different than boiling. In fact, the water vapour works on the inside of the cells, which is fundamentally different from the effect of boiling water.

In fact, steam also cooks the food completely but, except for the fat, nothing else comes out of the food. The cell walls and tendons gradually soften, the protein coagulates without coming out, the starches swell and combine and the sugars and minerals remain unchanged.

The same goes for odours, which are reduced to a minimum, or coloured substances. Only the fat liquefies due to the heat and, for this reason, it is almost never a good idea to steam cook large cuts of meat or fish.

So, the foods that benefit to this cooking method are generally, those with no fat such as, fish, some types of meat, legumes, potatoes, cereals, eggs, pudding, vegetables, etc. It is not good for vegetables with tough fibres or fruits in general.

USEFUL TIPS

• When using the steam oven, always start with the oven cold. Using steam in a hot oven (immediately after traditional cooking) is not recommended because the benefits of cooking with steam will be cancelled out.
• For steam cooking try to use the perforated stainless steel tray together with the lower stainless steel drip tray as much as possible.
• The first, resting with its support on the flat grill, allows the steam to fully cook the food while draining everything released by the food during cooking through the holes.
• The second, lower tray, slid under the grill on its guides, will collect the drippings and keep the oven chamber cleaner.

REPLACING THE OVEN LAMP

• Disconnect with power supply
• Unscrew the glass cover attached to the lamp holder
• Unscrew the lamp and replace it with another high-temperature lamp (300°C) with the following characteristics:

T300°C A

- Voltage: AC220V-240V

- Wattage: 15W

- Socket: E14

- Remount the glass cover and reconnect the appliance to the power supply

WARNING:

Ensure that the appliance is unplugged before replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

WARNING:

Do not operate appliance if the supply cord is damaged or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. if so, contact Caple service to arrange a service call.

Please keep this instruction manual for future reference

FITTING OVEN SHELVES

The deep pan and wired shelf have a side edge, there edges can match with the sliding rack on the sides of the cavity. It can prevent the rack or tray from slipping out from the oven.

Deep pan and wired shelf in the position 1-4 marked.
