Risk of overheating!
In the event of a power cut, the cooling fan
does not work. The appliance may
overheat. The touchable parts become very
hot and may cause injury. Due to the high
temperatures, the appliance and the fitted
unit could be damaged. In the event of a
power cut, the appliance must not be
manually ignited and put into operation. In
the event of a power cut, switch off the
appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS!
Escaping gas may cause an explosion.
If you smell gas or notice any faults in the
gas installation:
■
Immediately shut off the gas supply or
close the gas cylinder valve.
■
Immediately extinguish all naked flames
and cigarettes.
■
Do not use any light or appliance switches
and do not pull any plugs out of sockets.
Do not use any telephones or mobile
phones within the building.
■
Open windows and ventilate the room.
■
Call the after ­ sales service or the gas
supplier.
Risk of asphyxiation!
The use of a gas cooker leads to a build-up
of heat, moisture and products of
combustion in the room where the
appliance is installed. Ensure that the
installation room is well ventilated. The
natural ventilation openings must be kept
open or a mechanical ventilation device
must be provided (e.g. an extractor hood).
Intensive and persistent use of the
appliance may mean that it is necessary to
have additional ventilation (e.g. opening a
window), or more effective ventilation (e.g.
operating the existing mechanical
ventilation device at a higher setting).
Risk of fire!
■
A draught is created when the appliance
door is opened. Greaseproof paper may
come into contact with the heating
element and catch fire. Do not place
greaseproof paper loosely over
accessories during preheating. Always
weight down the greaseproof paper with a
dish or a baking tin. Only cover the
surface required with greaseproof paper.
Greaseproof paper must not protrude over
the accessories.
Risk of fire! ■
Combustible objects that are left in the
cooking compartment may ignite. Never
store combustible items in the cooking
compartment. Never open the appliance
door if there is smoke inside. Switch off
the appliance and unplug the mains plug
or switch off the fuse in the fuse box. Shut
off the gas supply.
Risk of fire! ■
Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly.
Never leave hot fat or oil unattended.
Never use water to put out burning oil or
fat. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish
flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or
something similar.
Risk of fire! ■
The appliance becomes very hot and
flammable materials could catch fire.
Never store or use flammable
objects (e.g. spray cans, cleaning agents)
under the appliance or in its immediate
vicinity. Never place flammable items on
or in the appliance.
Risk of fire!
■
Under no circumstances should a baking
sheet, a baking tray, a pan or another form
of cookware be placed directly on the
oven floor. This causes the floor of the
appliance to overheat and can seriously
damage the bottom of the fitted unit.
Risk of fire!
■
The rear of the appliance becomes very
hot. This may cause damage to the power
cables. Electricity and gas lines must not
come into contact with the rear of the
appliance.
