Inadequate ventilation of gas ovens during cooking
Gas cooking appliances cause humidity and heat at the place
of installation. Ensure that the kitchen is always well ventilated.
Keep natural ventilation openings unobstructed or install an
extractor hood. If the appliance is in operation for a long time,
additional ventilation may be necessary. Open a window or set
the extractor hood to a higher setting.

near this appliance. If the burners are not covered with
ovenware, do not operate the extractor hood. Grease deposits
in the filters of the extractor hood may ignite, and the resulting
hot temperatures may damage the extractor hood. There is a
risk of fire!
