●
Open the safety valve of the gas cylinder (only if using the gas hob subsequently!).

Safety instructions for working on gas systems
Proceed with care and awareness when handling the components of a gas system and follow these safety
instructions.
WARNING
Risk of suffocation!
Oxygen is consumed during the combustion of liquid petroleum gas. This creates
asphyxiating carbon dioxide and, in the event of “dirty combustion”, also toxic carbon
monoxide.
● Gas-operated appliances may only be used in very well ventilated rooms.
● Before for using the gas hob, open at least one roof light or window.
