switch on the appliance when the appliance
cover is open. Do not use the appliance
cover for keeping warm or setting down.
Only close the appliance cover once the
appliance has cooled down.

Risk of burns!
▯
Empty cookware becomes extremely hot
when set on a gas hotplate that is in
operation. Never heat up empty cookware.
Risk of burns!
▯
If the liquefied gas bottle is not upright,
liquefied propane/butane can enter the
appliance. Intense darting flames may
therefore escape from the burners.
Components may become damaged and
start to leak over time so that gas escapes
uncontrollably. Both can cause burns.
Always use liquefied gas bottles in an
upright position.

Environmental protection
Environmental protection
The sections below list a number of energy-saving tips
and provide information on disposing of your appliance.
Saving energy
▯
Choose a burner of roughly the same size as your
pan. Place the cookware in the middle.
▯
Use small saucepans for small quantities. Using a
large saucepan with little in it consumes a lot of
energy.
▯
Always place suitable lids on saucepans. Cooking
without a lid consumes significantly more energy.
Use a glass lid so that you can see into the pan
without having to lift the lid.
▯
Cook with only a little water. This will save energy
and preserve the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
▯
Switch to a lower heat setting in good time. This will
save energy.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
