When gas hotplates are in operation without
any cookware placed on them, they can
build up a lot of heat. The appliance and the
extractor hood above it may become
damaged or be set on fire. Grease residue in
the filter of the extractor hood may ignite.
Only operate the gas burners with cookware
on them.
Risk of burns!
▯
The appliance becomes hot during
operation. Allow the appliance to cool down
before cleaning.

▯
The hotplates and surrounding area
(particularly the hob surround, if fitted)
become very hot. Never touch the hot
surfaces. Keep children at a safe distance.

When the appliance cover is closed, heat
will accumulate. Only close the appliance
cover when the appliance has cooled down.
Never switch the appliance on with the
appliance cover closed. Do not rest food on
the appliance cover or use it to keep food
warm.
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.
Risk of injury!
