SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS:
- The appliances are constructed in accordance with the
relevant safety regulations.
- Connecting the appliances to the mains and repairing
and servicing the appliances may only be carried out by
a qualified electrician according to currently-valid safety
regulations. For your own safety, do not allow anyone
other than a qualified service technician to install, service
or repair the product.
- If the mains cable of this appliance is damaged, it has to
be replaced by the manufacturer, the Customer Service
Department of the manufacturer or by another qualified
person to avoid danger.
- The appliance may not be operated with an external
timer or an external telecontrol system.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON
THE HOB:
- Never allow the induction hob to operate unattended, as
the high power setting results in extremely fast reactions.
- When cooking, pay attention to the heat-up speed of the
cooking zones. Avoid boiling the pans dry as there is a
risk of the pans overheating.
- Do not place empty pots and pans on cooking zones
which have been switched on.

- Take care when using simmering pans as simmering
water may dry up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the
pan and to the hob for which no liability will
be assumed.
- It is essential that after using a cooking zone you switch
it off with the respective minus key and not just with the
pan recognition device.
- Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite.
Always supervise the preparation of food with fats and
oils. Never extinguish ignited fats and oils with water.
Switch the appliance off and then carefully cover the
flame, for example with a lid or an extinguisher blanket.
- The glass ceramic surface of the hob is extremely robust.
You should, however, avoid dropping hard objects onto
the glass ceramic hob. Sharp objects which fall onto your
hob might break it.
- There is a risk of electric shock if the glass ceramic hob
develops fractures, cracks, tears or damage of any other
kind. Immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect
the fuse immediately and call Caple Service.
- If the hob cannot be switched off due to a defect in the
sensor control, immediately disconnect your appliance
and call Caple Service.
- Take care when working with home appliances.
Connecting cables must not come into contact with hot
cooking zones.
- Risk of fire: never store items on the hob.
Please keep this instruction manual for future reference
Instruction manual DD940BK 5
- The glass ceramic hob should not be used as a
storage area.
- Do not put aluminium foil or plastic onto the cooking
zones. Keep everything which could melt, such as
plastics, foil and in particular sugar and sugary foods
away from hot cooking zones. Use a special glass scraper
to immediately remove any sugar from the ceramic hob
(when it is still hot) in order to avoid damaging the hob.
- Metal items (pots and pans, cutlery, etc.) must never be
put down on the induction hob since they may become
hot. Risk of burning.
- Do not place combustible, inflammable or heat
deformable objects directly underneath the hob.
- Metal items worn on your body may become hot in the
immediate vicinity of the induction hob. Caution: Risk
of burns. Non-magnetisable objects (e.g. gold or silver
rings) are not affected.
- Never use the cooking zones to heat up unopened tins
of food or packaging made of material compounds. The
power supply may cause them to burst.
- Keep the sensor keys clean since the appliance may
consider dirt to be finger contact. Never put anything
(pans, tea towels etc.) onto the sensor keys. If food boils
over onto the sensor keys, we advise you to activate the
OFF key.
- Hot pans should not cover the sensor keys, since this will
cause the appliance to switch off automatically.

- Whenever possible, use the back cooking zones for large
pans so that the sensor keys are not heated up too much
(touch control overheating; error message E2).
- Activate the childproof lock if there are any pets in the
home which could make contact with the hob.
- Never clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner
or similar appliance.
- Make sure there are no items (e.g. cleaning cloths) right
next to the hob extractor. They could be sucked in by the
air current. Liquids and small items must always be kept
away from the appliance.
- Do not operate the appliance without grease
filters fitted.
- Grease filters with too much fat deposits are a
fire hazard.
- Constant supervision is essential when deep-frying;
flambéing is not permitted.
- A sufficient supply of inlet air must be provided when
operating wood, coal, gas or oil heaters requiring a
chimney. The permissible negative pressure which results
from the hood in the location of the heaters requiring a
chimney may not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) as this results
in a risk of poisoning.
- Vapour also emits moisture into the air in the kitchen
during the cooking process.
- Only a little moisture is removed from the vapours in the
convection air mode. This is why a sufficient supply of
fresh air must always be provided, e.g. by opening the
window or using a domestic ventilation systems.

- Always make sure that the indoor climate is normal and
comfortable (45 - 60 % humidity).
- Switch the hob extractor down to a lower setting for
around 20 minutes or activate the automatic delayed
stop function every time the hob extractor is used in the
convection air mode.

In principle, the slider functions the same as the touch controls; the only difference is that you can
put your finger on the glass ceramic surface and then move it around. The touch control recognises
this movement and raises or lowers the display setting (power level) in accordance with
the movement.
The term touch control is used to mean slider from now on.
WHAT MUST BE OBSERVED WHEN OPERATING TOUCH CONTROLS?

Touch Control
Your finger should not be placed flat onto the glass ceramic surface in order to avoid adjacent
keys/touch controls from reacting by mistake.
PRESS THE TOUCH CONTROL LIGHTLY OR MOVE YOUR
FINGER AROUND
You can press the touch control very lightly with your finger; when this is done the setting on the
display (power level) will gradually change. Move to the right to Increase the power level.
When you put your finger on the touch control and then move it to the left or right, the display
setting will change progressively. The faster the movement, the faster the change in the display.
NOTE:
Pressing a sensor key and keeping it pressed (for approx. 3 seconds) may activate the automatic

THE HOB
The hob is equipped with an induction cooking mode. An induction coil underneath the glass
ceramic hob generates an electromagnetic alternating field which penetrates the glass ceramic and
induces the heat-generating current in the pan base. With an induction cooking zone the heat is
no longer transferred from a heating element through the pan into the food being cooked; instead
the necessary heat is generated directly in the container by means of induction currents.
ADVANTAGES OF THE INDUCTION HOB:
» Energy-saving cooking through the direct transfer of energy to the pan (suitable pots/pans
made of magnetisable material are required).
» Increased safety as the energy is only transferred when a pan is placed on the hob.
» Highly effective energy transfer between an induction cooking zone and the base of a pan.
» Rapid heat-up.
» The risk of burns is low as the cooking area is only heated through the pan base; food which
boils over does not stick to the surface.
» Rapid, sensitive control of the energy supply.
PAN RECOGNITION:
If a cooking zone is switched on and there is no pan on the zone or if the pan is too small, there
will be no transmission of power. A blinking in the cooking level display points this out.
If a suitable pot or pan is placed on the cooking zone, the power setting will switch on and the
power setting display will light up. The power supply will be cut off when the pan is removed and
the power setting display will indicate a blinking
.
If a pot or pan placed on a cooking zone is smaller than the cooking zone and the pan recognition
still switches on, only the amount of power needed will be supplied.
COOKING ZONE DIMENSION (MM) RECOMMENDED PAN BASE MINIMUM
DIAMETER (MM)
220 x 190 115
The base of pots and pans must be of a certain diameter; if it is not, the induction heat will not be
switched on.
Always place pots and pans in the middle of a cooking zone in order to achieve the best efficiency.
A pan must always cover the centre of a zone marked +.

Instruction manual DD940BK
Please keep this instruction manual for future reference
IMPORTANT:
The minimum diameter required to activate the pan recognition device may vary according to
the type of pot or pan used.
OPERATION TIME LIMIT:
The induction hob has an automatic time limit function.
The duration of continuous use of each cooking zone depends on the cooking level selected
(see chart).
This requires that the setting of a respective cooking zone is not adjusted during use.
If the operation time limit has been activated, the cooking zone will switch off,
a short signal will sound and an H will appear in the display.
The automatic switch-off function overrules the operation time limit, i.e. the cooking zone is only
switched off when the period of time of the automatic switch-off device has expired
(e.g. automatic switch-off after 99 minutes and cooking level 9 is possible).
