Warning and Safety Instructions

Warning and Safety Instructions
This appliance complies with all rele-
vant legal safety requirements. Im-
proper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both per-
sonal injury and material damage.
Before installation and before using
the appliance for the first time read
the operating instructions carefully.
They give information on safety, on
the operation and care of the ap-
pliance. This way you will avoid the
risk of accidents and damage to the
appliance.
This appliance is intended for do-
mestic use.
Should it be installed for commercial
use the relevant regulations must be ob-
served.
For safety reasons, this appliance
must only be operated as a built-in
appliance. This is necessary to ensure
that all electric components are shielded.
The electrical safety of the ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
regulary tested by a qualified electri-
cian. The manufacturer can not be held
responsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system.
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent engineers to
ensure safety.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous.

Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an exten-
sion lead. Extension leads do not guaran-
tee the required safety of the appliance.
Please ensure that the domestic
supply corresponds to the informa-
tion on the machine's data plate.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when it is switched off at the wall
socket, or the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Do not pull by the mains cable, but by
the plug when withdrawing the plug
from the socket.
The distance between the grill and a
cooker hood should be at least
650 mm. Exercise caution when using a
cooker hood or downdraught extractor.
Australia: 600 mm!
The grill must only be operated with
the stainless steel lid EA 80 fitted.
When open (see illustration page 3) it
forms a heat and backsplash shield.
Never switch on the grill when the
heating elements are raised.
This could set fire to easily inflammable
objects near the grill.
Do not let small children touch the
appliance during operation.
Danger of burning. Supervise use of
the grill by the elderly or infirm.
Never leave the grill unattended
when burning off residues from the
elements. Residues of food such as
meat which drop on to the lava rocks
could flare up, the flames be drawn in
by the extractor and be aggravated by
the grease on the filter. This is a fire ha-
zard.
