Note on use

▪ If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact our Customer
Services.
▪ If the appliance is not functioning properly, disconnect it from the power
supply immediately.
▪ If the mains cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by Cus-
tomer Services in order to avoid hazard.
▪ Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appli-
ances.
▪ Do not flambé food underneath the appliance. Metal grease filters if laden
with grease could catch fire.
▪ When frying on the cooking surface, do not leave the appliance unattended.
The cooking oil in the frying appliance could overheat and catch fire. Con-
stantly monitor the temperature of the cooking oil, keeping it below the tem-
perature at which it can catch fire. Change the cooking oil regularly – dirty
oil catches fire more easily than clean oil.
▪ Observe the cleaning intervals. Failure to do so can increase the fire hazard
due to the build-up of grease in the metal grease filters.
▪ Do not operate the individual cooking zones of the cooking surface without
a pan on them or with an empty pan on them so as to avoid damaging the
appliance or the kitchen fittings through a build-up of heat. Avoid open fires
with oil, gas, wood and coal fired cookers.
▪ Ensure there is adequate ventilation when the extractor fan is on so as to
avoid creating a disturbing underpressure in the kitchen and to achieve op-
timal air extraction.
▪ Avoid a cross-current of air, which could blow the cooking vapours over the
cooking area.
▪ If other appliances – fuelled by gas or other fuels – are being used at the
same time, ensure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air. This does not
apply to air recirculation appliances.
▪ If other firing systems are being used at the same time (e.g. wood, gas, oil
or coal fired heating appliances), safe operation is only possible providing a
room negative pressure of 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) is not exceeded at the location
of the appliance. Risk of toxic fumes! An adequate flow of fresh air must be
guaranteed e.g. via non-closable openings in doors or windows and in com-
bination with an air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical means.
