Need help?Do you have a question about the Caple C786G and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is an instruction manual for a Caple Gas on Glass Hob, specifically models C786G, C787G, and C789G. It provides comprehensive guidance on the installation, operation, and maintenance of the appliance, ensuring safe and efficient use.
The Caple Gas on Glass Hob is a cooking appliance designed for household and similar applications. It features multiple gas burners, each with varying sizes and power levels, to accommodate different cooking needs and cookware diameters. The hob is equipped with an electronic ignition system integrated into the control knobs, allowing for easy and quick lighting of the burners. A key safety feature is the safety device that interrupts gas delivery to a burner if the flame accidentally goes out due to spills or drafts, enhancing user safety. The hob is designed for indoor use and requires proper ventilation during operation.
The hob's operation is straightforward, with each gas burner controlled by a corresponding knob. The control knobs allow users to select different flame settings: OFF, HIGH, and LOW. To light a burner, the user presses the corresponding knob all the way in and turns it counter-clockwise to the HIGH setting, holding it until the burner lights. The safety device requires the knob to be pressed for approximately 6 seconds to allow the flame-keeping mechanism to warm up. Once the food comes to a boil, the knob can be turned to the LOW setting to maintain cooking, offering precise flame control. The manual emphasizes the importance of using appropriate cookware for each burner to prevent flames from reaching the sides of pots or pans and recommends using flat-bottomed cookware with lids to optimize performance and energy efficiency. The burners are designed to provide a light blue flame with a clearly visible inner cone when correctly adjusted, indicating efficient combustion.
Regular and thorough cleaning is essential to extend the life and maintain the performance of the hob. Before any cleaning or maintenance, the appliance must be disconnected from the electrical power supply. The enameled parts should be washed with warm water, avoiding abrasive powders or corrosive substances that could cause damage. The removable parts of the burners, including the burner caps and rings, should be frequently washed with warm water and soap to remove caked-on substances. Special attention should be given to cleaning the end of the electronic ignition device to ensure that the gas holes remain unclogged, which is crucial for reliable ignition.
The manual also addresses the maintenance of gas valves. Over time, gas valves may become stiff or difficult to turn. In such cases, they need to be cleaned internally and re-greased. This procedure, however, must be performed by a Caple approved engineer or similarly qualified personnel to ensure safety and proper functioning.
For optimal energy savings, the manual advises keeping the burners clean at all times, particularly the flame slots and injectors. This ensures efficient and energy-saving operation. In the event of issues such as a burner not lighting, an incomplete flame, or a flame that does not stay lit, the manual provides a troubleshooting guide. This guide directs users to check for clogged gas holes, correctly mounted burner parts, and proper valve adjustment. If problems persist after these checks, users are instructed to contact Caple Service for assistance.
The hob is designed for installation and servicing by a competent person, in accordance with current installation regulations, with particular attention to ventilation requirements. The manual provides detailed instructions for gas connection, including the use of approved gas taps and pressure regulators, and specifies the types of pipes and sealing gaskets to be used. It also covers electrical connection, highlighting the importance of a standard 13A plug and an efficient earth hook-up. The manual includes instructions for adapting the hob to different types of gas by replacing burner injectors and adjusting valves, a task that should also be carried out by a licensed gas fitter or service. The process of valve adjustment involves setting the control knob to the "Burner ON saving flame position," removing the knob, and using a small screwdriver to adjust the flame. After adjustment, the burner should be heated at full open position for 10 minutes, then turned to the minimum setting to ensure the flame does not extinguish or move to the injector.
