Warning and safety instructions
Correct use
~
The appliance gets hot when in use
and remains hot for quite a while after
being switched off. Do not touch it
whilst it could still be hot.
~
When using a rangehood over the
cooktop, ensure that the burner is
always covered with a pan when in use.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the rangehood, parts of
which could then be damaged or even
set on fire.
~
Do not leave the cooktop
unattended whilst it is being used.
Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause
a fire.
~
If oil or fat does catch fire, do not
attempt to put out the flames with water.
Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan
lid, damp towel or similar to smother the
flames.
~
Do not use the cooktop to heat up
the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire. The life of the
appliance could also be reduced.
~
For added protection, it is advisable
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance.
Ensure that they do not come into
contact with the flames. Do not use
large cloths, tea towels or similar as the
ends could touch the flames and catch
fire.
Take care not to let these items get
damp or wet as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more
quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.

~
Do not flambé under a rangehood.
The flames could set the rangehood on
fire.
~
Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else. The
article could melt or catch fire if
residual heat is still present or if the
appliance is switched on by mistake.
~
Installing several appliances
Do not place any hot pots or pans near
the spacer bar as they could damage
the sealing strip of the spacer bar.
~
Do not cover the appliance, e.g.
with a covering plate, a cloth, kitchen
foil etc. If the appliance is switched on
by mistake, or if there is residual heat,
these materials may catch fire, shatter
or melt.
~
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high
temperatures, and could catch fire.
~
Do not heat up unopened tins of
food on the cooktop as pressure will
build up in the tin, causing it to
explode. This could result in injury and
scalding or damage.
~
Make sure all the components of the
gas burners have been correctly
assembled before switching on.
