The use of a gas cooking appliance 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).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call
for additional ventilation, for example opening a
window, or more effective ventilation, for example
increasing the level of mechanical ventilation
where present.
The cooker should be serviced by a qualifi ed
service engineer and only approved spare parts
used. Have the installer show you the location
of the cooker control switch. Mark it for easy
reference. Always allow the cooker to cool and
then switch off at the mains and before cleaning
or carrying out any maintenance work, unless
specifi ed otherwise in this guide.
All parts of the cooker become hot with use
