Product Overview

The Artusi CAO888 is a 60cm wide built-in double electric oven in stainless steel (CAO888X/1), black (CAO888B) or white (CAO888W). Two separate cavities share one 888mm tall cutout, giving a combined 90 litres gross: a 35 litre top oven and a 55 litre bottom oven.

The top oven has four functions (grill, convection, bottom and light) over four levels, and the bottom oven has seven (defrost, grill, fan forced, bottom, convection, fan assisted and half fan grill) over five levels. Each cavity has its own halogen light, ActivEnamel lining, triple glazed door and runs from 50 to 250°C.

The bottom oven carries an electronic programmer with a timer of up to 23 hours 59 minutes, semi-automatic cook-time or switch-off programmes of up to 10 hours, a fully automatic cook-and-stop setting and an alarm. Both doors remove for cleaning, and a steam-cleaning routine is described in the manual.

Rated at 4kW, the oven is hard wired by a licensed electrician. Two baking dishes, two racks and a grill insert are supplied.

Installation & Requirements
  • Cabinet housing: Housing size at least 877mm high x 565mm wide x 555mm deep, in a 600mm wide cabinet. Ventilation is through the space at the top of the cabinet.
  • Cabinet materials: Laminate adhesive must withstand at least 150°C, and the walls must resist 75°C above room temperature. Adjust furniture door hinges for a 5 to 7mm gap.
  • Fixing: Secure the oven using the screws through the holes visible when the doors are open, and secure the housing to the wall or adjacent fitting. Lift into position by the sides, not by the door handles. If placed on the floor, support the appliance so the lower trim is not damaged.
  • Electrical: Hard wired to a connection box on 220-240V single phase, with terminals 1-2-3 and 4-5 bridged and earth to E. The manual recommends an H05VV-F 3G2.5 lead with a strain-relief clamp, a minimum 1.5m mains lead kept off the oven back panel, and an all-pole disconnect with at least a 3mm contact gap. Have a licensed electrician connect it.
  • Positioning: Do not install next to a refrigerator or freezer.
  • Built-in: Install in a cabinet cutout with suitable ventilation and heat-resistant adjacent panels; follow the cutout dimensions and clearances in the Artusi user manual and specification sheet.
  • Licensed installation: Have a licensed electrician connect and test the oven.

Extra Information

Energy-saving tips from the manual: if cooking for more than 40 minutes, switch the oven off about 10 minutes early and use the residual heat; keep the door properly closed; wipe spills off the door seals promptly; and avoid installing the oven directly beside a refrigerator or freezer.

The details on this page are taken from the Artusi specification sheet and user manual for this model. Accessories, cavity sizes and function names follow those documents, so check the manual that comes with the oven for operating detail.

The specification sheet and manual used here are for the CAO888B; the CAO888X/1 is assumed to share them. The Artusi page quotes "33L" for the secondary oven in its introduction while the specification sheet gives 35 litres; the specification sheet figure is used. Carton size and weight are estimates.
