CAUTION!
The use of a gas cooking
appliance results in the
production of heat, moisture
and products of combustion
in the room in which it is
installed. Ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated
especially when the
appliance is in use.
Prolonged intensive use of
the appliance may require
additional ventilation, for
example the increasing of
mechanical ventilation where
present, additional
ventilation to safely remove
the products of combustion
to outside (external) air
whilst also providing room
air changes with additional
ventilation. Consult a
qualified person before
installation of the additional
ventilation.
• Do not change the specification of this
appliance.
• Remove all the packaging, labelling
and protective film (if applicable)
before first use.
• Make sure that the ventilation
openings are not blocked.
• Do not let the appliance stay
unattended during operation.
• Set the cooking zone to “off” after
each use.
• Do not put cutlery or saucepan lids on
the cooking zones. They can become
hot.
• Do not operate the appliance with wet
hands or when it has contact with
water.
• Do not use the appliance as a work
surface or as a storage surface.
• When you place food into hot oil, it
may splash.
WARNING!
Risk of fire and explosion
• Fats and oil when heated can release
flammable vapours. Keep flames or
heated objects away from fats and
oils when you cook with them.
• The vapours that very hot oil releases
can cause spontaneous combustion.
• Used oil, that can contain food
remnants, can cause fire at a lower
temperature than oil used for the first
time.
• Do not put flammable products or
items that are wet with flammable
products in, near or on the appliance.
WARNING!
Risk of damage to the
appliance.
• Do not keep hot cookware on the
control panel.
• Do not let cookware boil dry.
• Be careful not to let objects or
cookware fall on the appliance. The
surface can be damaged.
• Never leave a burner on with empty
cookware or without cookware.
• Do not put aluminium foil on the
appliance.
• Cookware made of cast iron,
aluminium or with a damaged bottom
can cause scratches on the glass /
glass ceramic. Always lift these
objects up when you have to move
them on the cooking surface.
• Use only stable cookware with the
correct shape and diameter larger
than the dimensions of the burners.
• Make sure cookware is centrally
positioned on the burners.
• Do not use large cookware that
overlap the edges of the appliance.
This can cause damage to the
worktop surface.
• Make sure the flame does not go out
when you quickly turn the knob from
the maximum to the minimum
position.
• Use only the accessories supplied
with the appliance.
• Do not install a flame diffuser on the
burner.
• Do not let acid liquids, for example
vinegar, lemon juice or limescale
remover, touch the hob. This can
cause matt patches.
• Discoloration of the enamel or
stainless steel has no effect on the
performance of the appliance.
