Warning and Safety instructions
Important notes for the user
Installation and maintenance
should only be performed by a
qualified technician.
For safety reasons, this cooktop
should only be installed as a built-
in appliance.
Please remember that the cooktop
may become hot, not only around
the burner, but also around the control
panel. Ensure that small children do not
touch the cooktop when it is being
used.
Never leave the cooktop unat-
tended when cooking with oil or
fat. Overheated oil and fat can catch
fire.
When cooking or boiling in large
pots or pans, ensure that there is a
minimum distance of 2" (50 mm) be-
tween the pot and a heat-sensitive
countertop. After combustion, the hot
gases flow outwards under the base of
the pot and may consequently burn the
edge of the countertop if it is not heat
resistant.
Make sure that there is a minimum
distance of 5/8" (15 mm) between
the pot or pan and the control panel.
Never place a pot on the control panel.
When using an electric outlet near
the cooktop, care should be taken
to ensure that the cable of the electrical
appliance does not fall into the flames.
Warning and Safety Instructions
When using a vent hood over a
gas cooktop, make sure that any lit
burners are always covered with a pot
or frying pan. Otherwise, parts of the
vent hood could be damaged by the
heat and / or flames.
Note and correct any potential ha-
zards that may exist in regards to
overhead cabinets.
Do not use the cooktop for space
heating.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any future
user.
Disposal of an old appliance
Before disposing of an old appli-
ance, ensure that disconnection
from the gas supply is made by a quali-
fied technician. Turn off at the main
power source, and disconnect and
remove the appliance cable. This is in-
tended to prevent the discarded ap-
pliance from becoming a hazard.
Text highlighted in boxes is of par-
ticular importance and should be
read in conjunction with the Warn-
ing and Safety instructions.
