compliance with local standards.

Using the appliance
Switch the heating zones off after use.
Keep an eye on the hob when cooking with grease or oils as
they may quickly ignite.
Be careful not to burn yourself during or after using the
appliance.
Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving appliance makes
contact with the glass or a hot pan.
Magnetic objects (credit cards, floppy disks, calculators)
should not be placed near the appliance when in use.
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should
not be placed on the hob surface as they can get hot.
In general, do not place any metallic object except heating
containers on the glass surface. In case of untimely activation
or residual heat, they may heat, melt or even burn.
Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a protection sheet.
This may become very hot and catch fire.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years
and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved.

8
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by
children without supervision.
This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of
an external timer or separate remote-control system.
Precautions not to damage the appliance
Rough pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled
cast iron pots) may damage ceramic glass.
Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the glass surface.
Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance is in
accordance with the manufacturer‟s instructions.
Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the induction
zones.
Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not
come into contact with the heating zones. These may break
or damage the vitroceramic glass when cooling: switch on
the appliance and remove them immediately from the hot
heating zone (be careful not to burn yourself).
WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking
surface.
Never place any hot container over the control panel.

9
If a drawer is situated under the installed appliance, make
sure the space between the contents of the drawer and the
base of the appliance is large: at least (2 cm). This is essential
to guarantee correct ventilation.
Never put flammable objects (ex. sprays) into the drawer
under the hob. Cutlery drawers must be resistant to heat.
Precautions in case of appliance failure
If a defect is noticed, switch off the appliance and turn off
the electrical supply.
If the ceramic glass is cracked or damaged, you must unplug
the appliance and contact Caple Service.
Servicing must be done by specialists. Do not disassemble or
attempt to repair the appliance by yourself.
WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance
to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
Other precautions
Ensure that the pot or pan is always centred on the cooking
zone. The bottom of the pan must cover as much of the
cooking zone as possible.
For the users of pacemaker, the magnetic field could
influence its operation. We recommend discussing this with
the retailer or a doctor before using this appliance.
Do not to use aluminium or synthetic material containers:
they could melt on cooking zones that are still hot.

appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire
blanket.
