DANGER.
Risk of explosion and
poisoning! Put out all naked
flames and do not smoke, strike
matches or do anything that
could cause ignition.
Do not
operate any electric switches
(e.g. light switch, TV, computer,
cooker or door bell). Do not use a
telephone or mobile phone.
•
The use of gas cooking appliances results
in the production of heat and moisture in
the room in which it is installed. Ensure
that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep
natural ventilation holes open or install a
mechanical ventilation device (mechanical
extractor hood).
•
Gas appliances and systems must be
regularly checked for proper functioning.
The regulator, hose and its clamp must be
checked regularly and replaced within the
periods recommended by its manufacturer
or when necessary.
•
Clean the gas burners regularly. The
flames should be blue and burn evenly.
•
Good combustion is required in gas
appliances. In case of incomplete
combustion, carbon monoxide (CO) might
develop. Carbon monoxide is a
colourless, odourless and very toxic gas,
which has a lethal effect even in very
small doses.
