outlined in this booklet. Any other use of the appliance
(e.g. for heating the room) constitutes improper use
and is dangerous. The manufacturer may not be
held liable for any damage resulting from improper,
incorrect and unreasonable use of the appliance.
NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the

installed. Always ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated; keep
natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical extractor hood).
In particular when using the grill or more than one hotplate
burner, open a window if a mechanical ventilation device is not
operating.
