SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
For connection and operation
-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 shocks 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.
-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!
