Caution! The use of a gas cooking
appliance results in the
production of heat, moisture and
products of combustion in the
room in which it is installed.
Ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated especially when the
appliance is in use.
Prolonged intensive use of the
appliance may require additional
ventilation, for example the
increasing of mechanical
ventilation where present,
additional ventilation to safely
remove the products of
combustion to outside (external)
air whilst also providing room air
changes with additional
ventilation. Consult a qualified
person before installation of the
additional ventilation.
• Do not change the specification of this
appliance.
• Remove all the packaging, labelling and
protective film (if applicable) before first
use.
• Make sure that the ventilation openings
are not blocked.
• Do not let the appliance stay unattended
during operation.
• Set the cooking zone to “off” after each
use.
• Do not put cutlery or saucepan lids on the
cooking zones. They can become hot.
• Do not operate the appliance with wet
hands or when it has contact with water.
• Do not use the appliance as a work
surface or as a storage surface.
• When you place food into hot oil, it may
splash.
Warning! Risk of fire and
explosion
• Fats and oil when heated can release
flammable vapours. Keep flames or
heated objects away from fats and oils
when you cook with them.
• The vapours that very hot oil releases can
cause spontaneous combustion.
• Used oil, that can contain food remnants,
can cause fire at a lower temperature
than oil used for the first time.
• Do not put flammable products or items
that are wet with flammable products in,
near or on the appliance.
Warning! Risk of damage to the
appliance.
• Do not keep hot cookware on the control
panel.
• Do not let cookware boil dry.
• Be careful not to let objects or cookware
fall on the appliance. The surface can be
damaged.
• Never leave a burner on with empty
cookware or without cookware.
• Do not put aluminium foil on the
appliance.
• Use only stable cookware with the correct
shape and diameter larger than the
dimensions of the burners.
• Make sure cookware is centrally
positioned on the burners.
• Do not use large cookware that overlap
the edges of the appliance. This can cause
damage to the worktop surface.
• Make sure the flame does not go out
when you quickly turn the knob from the
maximum to the minimum position.
• Use only the accessories supplied with
the appliance.
• Do not install a flame diffuser on the
burner.
• Do not let acid liquids, for example
vinegar, lemon juice or limescale remover,
touch the hob. This can cause matt
patches.
• Discoloration of the enamel or stainless
steel has no effect on the performance of
the appliance.
Care and cleaning

buttons, knobs or gaskets from
the control panel. Water may get
