during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire
to turn it off.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
When gas burners are in operation without any cookware
placed on them, they can build up a lot of heat. A
ventilation appliance installed above the cooker may
become damaged or catch fire. Only operate the gas
burners with cookware on them.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
During simultaneous use of multiple gas cooktops, a
great deal of heat is created. A ventilation device located
above it can become damaged or catch fire. Never use
two gas cooktops together at maximum heat for longer
than 15 minutes. One large burner with over 17,000 Btu/
hr (5 kW) (wok) is equal to the wattage of two gas
burners.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
Hot oil and fat catch fire fast. Never leave hot oil and fat
unsupervised. Never extinguish a fire with water. Switch
off the cooking position. Suffocate flames carefully with a
lid, a fire blanket or similar.
