General instructions

Always check that the control knobs are in the “zero” (off) position when you
finish using the appliance.
Do not use sealed tins or containers in the appliance. Overpressure may occur
inside the containers during cooking, creating a danger of explosion.
Do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil sheets during
cooking and do not place pans or trays on it to avoid damage to the enamelled
surface.
Never place saucepans with bases which are not perfectly flat and smooth on
the hob. Unstable cookware can lead to scalding.
Do not rest any weight or sit on the open door of the appliance. Excessive
weight may jeopardise its stability.
The appliance becomes very hot during use. Suitable heat-proof gloves should
be worn for all operations.
Do not use the hob if pyrolysis (where present) is taking place inside the oven.
If you intend to go away for a prolonged period of time, close the mains gas tap
or the gas cylinder tap.
Take care that no objects are stuck in the door of the oven.
Do not open the storage compartment (where present) when the oven is on and
still hot. The temperatures inside it may be very high.
If the surfaces are still very hot during cooking, do not pour water directly onto
the trays. The steam could cause severe burns and damage enamelled
surfaces.
All cooking operations must take place with the door closed. The dissipation of
heat may cause hazards.
