Frequently Asked Questions - Basic 2002 CASO

How to light a burner?

Press the desired burner knob and turn it to the 'Ignition' (spark) position. Simultaneously, press the ignition button or turn fully. Once the flame is lit, hold it pressed for a few seconds to activate the safety thermocouple.

What to do if the burner does not light?

Check the gas supply and that the cylinder is not empty. Make sure the burners are clean and dry. If the spark does not occur, check the spark plugs. For models with electric ignition, plug in the appliance.

How to clean the burners?

Remove the grills and burner caps. Clean them with warm soapy water and a non-metallic brush. Rinse and dry completely before reassembling. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

The burner flame is yellow or irregular, why?

A yellow flame indicates incomplete combustion. Clean the burners and injectors. Check that the gas type matches the installed nozzle. If the problem persists, contact a professional.

How to use the oven?

Preheat the oven to the desired temperature. Place food in the center. Use the 'convection' function if available for even cooking. Do not cover the oven floor with aluminum foil.

What to do if the oven does not heat up?

Check that the gas valve is open and the supply is active. Make sure the thermostat is set correctly. If the problem persists, the thermocouple or gas valve may be defective. Call a technician.

How to lock the controls for child safety?

Some models have a knob locking feature. Refer to the manual to activate this function. Generally, press two specific knobs simultaneously for a few seconds.

What types of gas are compatible?

The Basic 2002 cooker can operate on town gas (natural gas) or propane/butane depending on the installed nozzles. Check the identification label and manual for adjustment.

How to adjust the minimum flame?

Adjusting the minimum flow is done via a by-pass screw on the gas valve. This operation requires a qualified professional to comply with safety standards.

Where to find spare parts?

Contact CASO customer service or visit the official website. Parts such as grills, burners, thermocouples and knobs are available. Reference the Basic 2002 model when ordering.

Foreword

Dear Customer,

please read these operating instructions carefully before commissioning the induction hotplate.

Please especially observe the safety notices on the following pages.

Keep these instructions for future reference and pass them on if you give the hotplate away to someone else.

The Function Mode and Product Advantages of Induction Hotplates

With induction hotplates, an electric voltage is applied on a conductor spool beneath the glass ceramics. This creates magnetic fields, which directly heat up the bottom of the cookware through a physical effect.

This means saving time and energy, because contrary to common hotplates, the cookware is heated up, not the heating element and the glass ceramics. Due to the technical characteristics described above, another advantage is the very short start-up cooking time.

In addition, the heat supply promptly adapts to changed settings and can be controlled in small steps. The induction hotplate reacts to changed settings just as fast as a gas stove, as the energy reaches the pot immediately without having to heat up other materials first. The induction technology combines this fast reaction with the basic advantage of electricity, meaning being able to exactly adjust the heat supply.

Additional advantages of an induction hotplate:

- As the hotplate is only heated up indirectly via the bottom of the cookware, over spilling food cannot stick and burn and there is hardly any danger of burns for the user. The glass ceramics is only heated up by the hot cookware.

- Once you take the cookware off the hotplate, the device automatically switches to standby mode.

- The device detects whether suitable cookware is placed on the hotplate. If this is not the case, no energy is transmitted.

Prior to commissioning

Check the device for visible damage.

The power connections and the plug may not show any damages. If you detect damage, have the device checked by a qualified technician prior to putting it into operation in order to avoid any danger.

This device is designed for private (domestic) use and its power is rated accordingly. Any professional use is only covered by the warranty in as far as it is comparable with the demands of private use. It is not intended for any further professional use.

Improper use voids the warranty.
