SAFETY AND CARE DIRECTIONS

Correct use

• To avoid damages to persons and fittings please read this manual carefully before using the hob for the first time.

• Use the hob after installing it correctly; it is important to avoid the contact with electric wire components.

• The hob is meant to be used only in domestic installations not in the industrial field.

• Use the appliance only to prepare dishes; other uses at consumer risk, they can be dangerous. The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for to damages caused by an incorrect use of the appliance.

If there are children at home

• Use control lock so as the children can not switch on the hob or modify its setting.

• The appliance must be used only by adults, who are able to understand the indications in this manual. Often children can not perceive the dangers of a functioning hob. Keep an eye on the children carefully.

• Grown-up children can use the appliance only if they have been educated to use it carefully and in absolute security and if they know the possible damages caused by an incorrect usage.

• Do not permit children to play with the appliance.

• The hob warms and stays warm for some time also after the switching off. For this reason children must be taken far from the appliance to avoid the risk of burns.

• Take attractive objects far from children and the hob, because they could lead them to approach the appliance with consequent burn risks.

• Make sure that children could not have the possibility to upset hot pots or pans. Danger of explosion and fire, in addition with burns. In the market there is a special pan support which could be useful to reduce accident risks.

• Children should be taken far from the packaging, because some of its components (in plastic or polystyrene) are dangerous (choking danger). Carefully dispose of the packaging immediately.

Advise for better use of the hob

• Take care not to throw objects or cutlery on the ceramic surface. Also light objects (i.e. a saltcellar) might crack or damage the ceramic plate.

• Do not use pots or pans with rough bottom (i.e. cast iron), because they could scratch the

surface of the hob. Also grains of sand could cause scratches.

• Make sure that sugar, liquefied or solid, plastic or silver paper are not leant on the hot cooking areas. These materials melt, stick on the surface and when they cool they can crack, break or damage permanently the ceramic surface. If these substances inadvertently reach the hot cooking areas, switch off the hob and remove them with a spatula as soon as possible, when the appliance is already hot. Attention: since

the cooking areas are very hot there is the possibility to scald yourself.

• To avoid a risk of food remains burning, get rid of them immediately in case they overflow on to the surface during the cooking; make sure that the pot bottom is not soiled, but clean and dry before leaning it on the hob.

• Never use vapour devices. The vapour pressure could permanently damage surfaces and components of devices, for which the manufacturer will not be responsible.

• Never lean hot pots or pans on the control panel. The electronics situated under the panel could be damaged.

• If under the installed appliance there is a

drawer, take care of that the distance between the drawer, and so its content, and the lower side of the appliance is enough. On the contrary the aerification of the hob is not warranted.

To avoid burns

• When functioning the appliance is too hot and maintains the temperature for some minutes after the switching off. Only when the afterheat lights go off there is no more danger of burns. Pay attention to children at home, they must not approach the hot hob.

• Always use the proper knobs or pot holders to move or to put pots and pans on the hob. The knobs and pot holders material must not be wet or damp. The dampness increases the heat conductivity and so the risks of burns.

• Do not heat closed vessels, i.e. tin vessels, on the cooking areas. The resulting overpressure could cause the explosion of this material. Producing a risk of danger.

• Do not use the appliance as a rest surface and in particular do not lean on metallic objects. If the hob is unintentionally switched on or if the cooking areas afterheat is already functioning there is the risk that the resting object, depending

on its material, heats (danger of burns), start melting or burning.

• Do not cover the hob with a cloth or a protective film. The hob could be hot; danger of burning.

• Stay near the hob when using fats and oils because when they overheat, they can start burning and ignite also the cooker hood. Danger of fire.

• If fats and oils used to cook start burning, do not try to extinguish the fire with water. Smother the fire with a blanket or an extinguisher.

• Do not cook flambè dishes under the cooker hood. Flames could reach the cooker hood and burn it.

If there is a faulty appliance

• If the cosumer finds an anomaly in the appliance, disconnect the electrical supply of the hob. If the appliance is not definitively setted and linked up, detach also the stoker wire from the electric system. For this purpose do not hold the wire but the plug, if present. Call the Caple service centre. Pay attention not to connect the appliance to the electrical system before repairing it.

• If there are cracks on the ceramic surface, disconnect the electrical supply of the appliance. There is danger of electrical shock.

• Repairs have to be made only by skilled and

authorised staff. Uncorrect repairs could be cause of danger and further damage the appliance. Never dismantle the appliance casing.

• Repairs on the appliance during the warranty period can be done only by Caple technical assistance, otherwise the product will no longer be covered by the warranty.

high temperature and in a long period of time.

• Do not use plastic or tin foil dishes. High temperature could melt these materials. Fire danger.

• Do not approach to the functioning hob magnetic objects like credit cards, floppy disks, calculators. Their functions could be compromised.

• Do not put canisters, liquids or other flammable materials in drawers under the appliance. The drawer’s cutlery tray, if present, should be in heat resistant material.

Further Information

• Notes for users with Pacemakers: please

consider that near the functioning appliance there is a electromagnetic field, which could compromise the pacemaker performance. For doubts regarding the pacemaker Please speak to its producer or your doctor.

• Take care of positioning the dishes in the centre of the cooking area, so that the pot’s underside can cover all the electromagnetic field.

• Using a socket near the appliance, make sure that the supply wire does not touch the hot hob. The main sheathing could be damaged. Electrical shock danger.

• Ensure foods are cooked/heated correctly. Germs present in the food are eliminated only at

INSTALLATION

General Instructions

• The installation and the connection must be done only by a qualified electrician.

Refer only to an electrician who knows local and supplemental rules and regulations. Take care of that the work is carried out in respect of these rules. The producer is not responsible for damages caused by incorrect installation or connection of the appliance.

• The appliance electrical security is guaranteed only if this is connected to a regular grounded conductor. It is important to check that this condition is satisfied because it is a fundamental condition. If in doubts call a skilled technician to check the installation. The producer do not accept responsibility for damages caused by the absence or interruption of the grounding conductor.

• The appliance must not be linked up to the electrical system with an extension; extensions do not warrant the security of the appliance.

• The hob should not be installed over a dishwasher, a tumble dryer, a washing machine, a cooling appliance, an oven or cooling fan. On the one hand the high temperatures released can damage these appliances, on the other hand in this way the ventilation of the hob is not ensured.

• The installation and the assembly of the hob in

non-stationary places, like for example a ship, can be installed only by skilled technicians to guarantee safety during the functioning.

• If under the appliance there is a drawer, do not store flamable object inside of it (i.e. canisters).

• Make sure that after the installation, the hob electrical system connection wire is not subjected to mechanical stress, (i.e. fixed to a drawer).

• The hob veneerings must be manufactured with thermoresistant adhesive (100°C), so they cannot detach or buckle. Also the back profiles must be thermoresistant.

• On one side and on the back side of an installed ceramic hob there can be walls or furnitures of every height, while on the other side the furniture or an existing appliance must not be higher than the hob.
