Caution:

before connecting the appliance, please check
whether the 

local connection conditions 

such as

appliance settings. This gas hob conforms to the
categories that are specified on the 

rating plate

.

The rating plate can be found on the appliance and
additionally on the quality control slip which is
included with these instructions. By replacing
nozzles, it is possible to set the appliance to any
gas listed on the rating plate.
If the data should not match, the appliance must 
be changed over to the required gas type and the
available pressure.
As this gas hob is not intended for connection to an
