Operation
Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children.
Children, or persons with a disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should
have a responsible person to instruct them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that
they can use the appliance without danger to themselves or their surroundings.
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must only be replaced by an authorised person.
Ensure that the electrical connection plug is accessible after installation.
This appliance should be connected to a circuit that incorporates an isolating switch
providing full disconnection from the electricity supply.
Do not use an asbestos mat or decorative covers between the flame and the saucepan as
this may cause serious damage to your cooktop.
Do not place aluminium foil or plastic dishes on the cooktop burners.
Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench as this can deflect heat onto
your benchtop and damage the surface.
Do not let large saucepans or frying pans push any other pans aside. This could make them
unstable or deflect heat onto your benchtop and damage the surface.
Do not use a steam cleaner for cleaning this cooktop.
Saucepan handles may be hot to touch. Ensure saucepan handles do not overhang other
gas burners that are on. Keep handles out of reach of children.
Keep children away from the cooktop when it is in use.
Do not stand or place heavy objects on this appliance.
After use, ensure that the control knobs are in the ‘off’ position.
This appliance shall not be used as a space heater, especially if installed in marine craft or
caravans.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the
room in which it is installed. Ensure the kitchen is well ventilated. Keep natural ventilation
holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example
opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.
After having unpacked the appliance, check to ensure that it is not damaged.
In case of doubt, do not use it and consult your supplier or a professionally qualified technician.
Packing elements (i.e. plastic bags, polystyrene foam, staples, packing straps, etc.) should not
be left around within easy reach of children, as these may cause serious injuries.
Some appliances are supplied with a protective film on steel and aluminium parts. This film
must be removed before using the appliance.
