WARNING ‒ Risk of suffocation!
The use of a gas cooking appliance leads to
a build-up of heat, moisture and combustion
products in the room where the appliance is
installed.
▶
Ensure that the room where the appliance
is installed is sufficiently ventilated, in par-
ticular when operating the gas cooking ap-
pliance.
▶
If the appliance is used intensively and for
prolonged periods, ensure that there is ad-
ditional ventilation so that the combustion
products are safely fed to the outside, e.g.
if using existing ventilation equipment, set a
higher performance level and, at the same
time, ensure that the air is replaced with
fresh air in the room where the appliance is
installed.
▶
Consult specialist personnel when installing
additional ventilation equipment.
WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
The appliance will become hot.
▶
Do not keep combustible objects or aero-
sol cans in drawers directly underneath the
hob.
▶
Never store or use combustible materials
(e.g. spray cans or cleaning agents) under
the appliance or in its immediate vicinity.
Hob covers can cause accidents, for example
due to overheating, catching fire or materials
shattering.
▶
Do not use hob covers.
When gas burners are in operation without
any cookware placed on them, they can build
up a lot of heat. A ventilation appliance in-
stalled above the cooker may become dam-
aged or catch fire.
▶
Only operate the gas burners with cook-
ware on them.
The appliance becomes very hot, fabrics and
other objects may ignite.
▶
Keep fabrics (e.g. garments or curtains)
away from the flames.
▶
Never reach over the flames.
▶
Do not place combustible objects (e.g. tea
towels or newspapers) on, next to or be-
hind the appliance.
Escaping gas may ignite.
▶
If the burner does not ignite after
15 seconds, turn the control knob to the
"Off" position and open the door or window
in the room. Wait at least one minute be-
fore igniting the burner again.
▶
In the event of the burner flames being ac-
cidentally extinguished, turn off the burner
control and do not attempt to re-ignite the
burner for at least one minute.
WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!
The hotplates and surrounding area (particu-
larly the hob surround, if fitted) become very
hot.
▶
Never touch the hot surfaces.
▶
Keep children at a safe distance.
Unsuitable safety devices or child hob guards
may result in accidents.
▶
Only use safety devices, such as child hob
guards, which have been approved by us.
Empty cookware becomes extremely hot
when set on a gas hotplate that is in opera-
tion.
▶
Never heat up empty cookware.
The appliance becomes hot during operation.
▶
Allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
