The magnetic fields generated during operation of the
appliance may lead to adverse effects.
Adhere to the following safety instructions:
►People with elevated electrical sensitivity should not remain in
the immediate vicinity of the appliance for longer than is
necessary.
►If in any doubt, people with pacemakers or implanted medication
pumps should consult their doctor about the harmlessness of
using the appliance.
►Do not place any magnetisable objects, e.g. credit cards, data
carriers or cassettes on or in the immediate vicinity of the
appliance.
►Place cooking utensils in the middle of the hob, so that the base
of the pot covers as much of the electromagnetic field as
possible.
►Do not remove any coverings on the appliance.
2.3.2 Danger of Burning
WARNING
The items cooked on this appliance as well as the cooking
utensils used and the surface of the appliance can become
very hot.
Adhere to the following safety instructions in order to avoid
burning or scalding yourself or others:
►Protect your hands during all work at the hot appliance by using
heat insulating gloves, dish cloths or similar.

heats the hot plate.
Commissioning
caso Pro Chef 1800 12
2.3.3 Danger of Explosion
WARNING
Incorrect use of the appliance incurs a danger of explosion
due to the overpressure produced.
Adhere to the following safety instructions in order to prevent a
danger of explosion:
►Never heat food or liquids in sealed containers such as, for
example, cans. The container can burst due to the overpressure
generated. A can is best heated by opening it an placing it in a
pot filled with a little water.
2.3.4 Danger of Fire
WARNING
There is a risk of fire if the appliance is used incorrectly.
Adhere to the following safety instructions in order to avoid a
risk of fire:
►During operation remove all easily inflammable items (e.g.
detergents, aerosol cans, oven, cloths and dishcloths, etc.) from
the immediate vicinity of the appliance.
►Avoid overheating oils and fats for extended periods.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite rapidly.
Please note
If a fire should occur on the cooking hob, proceed as follows:
Switch the appliance off (if necessary, unplug the mains plug
from the socket or switch off the fuse)
Smother the flames with a large pot lid, plate or a moist dish
cloth.
NEVER EXTINGUISH WITH WATER!
After the fire has been extinguished allow cooking utensils
and the appliance to cool down and ensure that there is a
sufficient flow of fresh air.

circumstances. There is a danger of an electrical shock if live
connections are touched and the electrical or mechanical
structure is altered. In addition, functional faults on the device
can also occur.
►Do not touch the appliance or the main plug with wet hands.
►Do not insert objects into the openings of the appliance. There is
a risk of electrocution if contact is made with voltage-carrying
connections.

►A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) should
be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
►Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
►If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
►The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance; and

3.5.1 Setup location requirements:
In order to ensure the safe and trouble-free operation of the
device, the setup location must fulfil the following prerequisites:
•The appliance must be positioned on a solid, even, horizontal
and heat-resistant base with sufficient load-supporting capacity
for the appliance itself plus the heaviest anticipated cooking
contents.
•The induction cooktop must not be operated on a base with an
iron or steel content, as this can heat up considerably.
•Select an installation location where children cannot reach the
appliance’s hot surface.
•The appliance is not intended as a built-in appliance.
•Do not set up the device in a hot, wet or extremely damp
environment or near flammable material.
•Do not set up the induction cooktop in the vicinity of appliance
and objects which react sensitively to magnetic fields (e.g.:
Radios, televisions, cassette recorders, etc.).
•To operate correctly, the appliance requires a sufficient flow of
air. Leave a 4 inch gap on all sides when setting up the
appliance.
•The cool air is drawn in by the underside of the appliance. Do
not cover or block any of the appliance’s openings.
•The electrical socket must be easily accessible so that the
power lead can be disconnected easily, in the case of an
emergency.
•The installation and assembly of this device in non-stationary
setup locations (e.g. on ships) must be carried out by specialist

3.5.2 Preventing Radio interference
The appliance can cause interference to radios, televisions or
similar devices. Interference can be removed or reduced using
the following measures:
•Place the radio, television etc. as far away from the appliance
as possible.
•Connect the appliance to a different socket, so that different
electric circuits are being used for the appliance and the
receiver experiencing interference.
•Use a correctly installed aerial for the receiver in order to
ensure good reception.
3.6 Electrical connection
In order to ensure the safe and trouble-free operation of the
device, the following instructions must be observed for the
electrical connection:
•Before connecting the device, compare the connection data
(voltage and frequency) on the rating plate with those of your
electrical network. This data must agree in order that no
damages occur in the device
If in doubt, ask your qualified electrician.
•The use of multiple plugs or gangs is prohibited because of the
danger of fire that is involved with this.
•Make sure that the power cable is undamaged and has not
been installed under the oven or over hot or sharp surfaces.
The electrical safety of the device is only guaranteed if the
device is connected to a properly installed protective
conductor system. Operations using an electrical outlet
without a protective conductor are prohibited. If in doubt,
have the house installation checked over by a qualified
electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be made responsible for damages
that are caused by a missing or damaged protective
conductor.

5 Operation and Handing
This chapter provides you with important notices with regard to
operating the device. Observe the following notices to avoid
dangers and damages:
Warning
►Do not leave the device unsupervised when it is in operation, so
that you can intervene quickly in the event of dangers.
5.1 Functioning and Advantages of Induction cooktops
With an induction cooktop the heat is not transferred by a
heating element via the cooking utensil to the food to be
cooked, but rather the necessary heat is generated directly in
the cooking pot with the aid of induction currents.
An induction coil underneath the ceramic glass hob generates
an alternating electromagnetic field, which penetrates the
ceramic glass hob and induces the heat-generating current in
the base of the cookware.
Advantages of the Induction Hob
•Energy-saving cooking due to direct energy transfer to
the pot.
•Enhanced safety since energy is only transferred when a
pot is placed on the hob.
•Energy transfer between the induction cooking zone and
the base of the pot with high degree of efficiency.
•Rapid heating.
•Low risk of burning, since the cooking surface is only
heated by the base of the pot.
•Boiling over pot contents does not burn onto the hob.
•Rapid, fine-tuned control of the input power.
