IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
~
Do not use the appliance until it has
been properly installed in the
countertop.

Do not store items on the appliance
when not in use. Items could melt or
catch fire from residual heat or if the
appliance is turned on inadvertently.
Always switch the burner(s) off after
use.
~
Do not store aerosols, combustibles
or any other easily flammable materials
underneath or adjacent to the
appliance.
~
The combiset is fitted with a cooling
fan. Drawers under the combiset are
not recommended. If a drawer is fitted
directly underneath the combiset,
ensure that there is sufficient space
between the drawer, its contents and
the underside of the appliance in order
to ensure sufficient ventilation for the
combiset. Do not store small items or
paper in the drawer. They could get
sucked into the housing by the fan and
cause damage or impair cooling.
Ensure that no aerosols, combustible
liquids or other flammable materials are
kept in this drawer. If cutlery inserts are
to be placed in the drawer they must be
made of heat-resistant material.
~
Metallic items kept in a drawer
under the combiset can become hot
when the appliance is used for a longer
period of time. Use caution.
~
If the combiset is installed above a
pyrolytic oven it should not be used
during the pyrolytic process. The
overheating protection feature of the
combiset might be activated.
