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.
▯

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).
