•This appliance is intended for domestic use only and may only be used as described in these instructions. Any other usage is at the owner’s risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using it, or have been given instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety.

•This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, keep children away from it at all times, and do not let them play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.

•Older children may use the appliance only when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

•The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the appliance at all times.

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

•Before installation, check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Under no circumstances should you use it if it has been damaged. A damaged appliance is dangerous.

•The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly, and where there is any doubt the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

•Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency correspond to the rating on the data plate, otherwise the appliance could be damaged. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

•For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has been built in.

•This appliance may be connected via a fused plug and switched socket. If you wish to connect it to

an isolator switch, or if the appliance is supplied without a plug, it must be installed and connected by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.

•If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a suitably qualified electrician with a special connection cable of type H05VV-F (pvc insulated).

•Never open the casing of the appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

•While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.

•During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– the mains fuse is disconnected, – the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable), – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from the socket, or it is switched off at the isolator.

•Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Caple original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Caple replacement parts are used.

•In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

•The appliance is hot when in use, and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. Do not touch it whilst it could still be hot.

•For added protection, it is advisable to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.

•Do not heat up unopened tins or jars of food on the Tepan plate. as pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode. This could result in injury and scalding or damage.

•Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire. The life of the appliance could also be reduced.

•This appliance must not be set up or operated in the open air.

•Never leave the appliance unattended when using it. Overheated oil or fat can catch fire and could even

set the cooker hood on fire.

•If oil or fat catches fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with water. Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.

•Do not use the appliance as a resting place for anything else. The article could melt or catch fire if residual heat is still present or if the appliance is switched on by mistake.

•Do not cover the appliance, e.g. with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could be a fire hazard if the appliance is switched on by mistake.

•Do not flambé under a cooker hood. The flames could set the cooker hood on fire.

•Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many factors will affect the overall cooking

time, including the size and quantity of the food and its temperature. Some foods may contain micro organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at a sufficiently high temperature for long enough. Therefore, when cooking or reheating food such as poultry, it is particularly important that the food is completely cooked through. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

•Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances must not be stored in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

•Do not use plastic utensils on the appliance, as the Tepan plate gets very hot. Even heat-resistant plastic utensils are unsuitable.

•When using an electric socket near the appliance, care should be taken that the cable of the electrical appliance does not come into contact with the hot appliance. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
