1 Safety precautions
1.6 Note on use
• If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact Customer Ser-
vices.
• If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the power sup-
ply immediately.
• If the mains cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by Cus-
tomer Services in order to avoid hazard.
• Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appli-
ances.
• Do not flambé food underneath the appliance. Grease filters if laden with
grease could catch fire.
• If frying on the cooking surface, do not leave the frying appliance unatten-
ded. The cooking oil in the frying appliance could overheat and catch fire.
Constantly monitor the temperature of the cooking oil, keeping it below the
temperature at which it can catch fire. Change the cooking oil regularly –
dirty oil catches fire more easily than clean oil.
• Observe the cleaning intervals. Failure to do so can increase the fire hazard
due to the excessive build-up of grease in the grease filters.
• Do not operate the individual cooking zones of the cooking surface without
a pan on them or with an empty pan on them so as to avoid damaging the
appliance or the kitchen fittings through a build-up of heat. Avoid open fires
with oil, gas, wood and coal fired cookers.
• Ensure there is adequate ventilation when the extraction fan is on so as to
avoid creating a disturbing underpressure in the kitchen and to achieve op-
timal air extraction.
• Avoid a cross-current of air, which could blow the cooking vapours across
the cooking area.
• If other appliances – fuelled by gas or other fuels – are being used at the
same time, ensure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air. This does not
apply to air recirculation appliances.
• If other firing systems are being used at the same time (e.g. wood, gas, oil
or coal-fired heating appliances), safe operation is only possible providing a
room negative pressure of 4 Pa (0.04mbar) is not exceeded at the location
of the appliance. Risk of toxic fumes! An adequate flow of fresh air must be
guaranteed e.g. via non-closable openings in doors or windows and in com-
bination with an air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical means.
