Important Notes - Siemens HQ74552.E Notes On Operation And Installation

This cooker is intended for domestic use only.
Please read the warning notes contained in
these operating instructions carefully, since
they contain important information regard-
ing safety during installation, operation and
maintenance. Keep these operating instruc-
tions in a safe place so that you can consult
them at a later date.
The instructions for use apply to several
versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you
may find descriptions of individual features
that do not apply to your specific appliance.
For your safety.
• You must not operate the appliance if it is
damaged. When connecting electrical appli-
ances in the proximity of the appliance, make
sure that connecting leads do not come into
contact with hot cooking surfaces!
• As the user, you yourself are responsible for
maintenance and proper use in the house-
hold.
• Only ever operate the appliance under
supervision.
• Do not operate the appliance without pots
and pans placed on it. Make sure that all the
burner parts are correctly fitted.
• Important: the appliance heats up during
operation. Keep children away.
• Do not clean the appliance with a steam
cleaning apparatus or with water pressure –
risk of short-circuits.
• Isolate the appliance from the mains during
every maintenance operation. To do this,
remove the mains plug or the corresponding
fuse. Close the gas supply.
• Repairs must be carried out by authorised
specialists, thus ensuring electrical safety.
• The power supply cable and the gas sup-
ply piping must not be replaced by the
user. In the event of any damage or if
replacements are necessary, work should
only be carried out by one of our autho-
rised after-sales service technicians.

Important notes

Warming cabinet
You must not place inflammable materials
or plastic utensils in the warming cabinet
(placed below the oven).
• Observe caution with oils and fats. They
may overheat and burn easily. Foodstuffs
that are prepared in fat and oil must only be
prepared under constant supervision!
• Do not use flammable liquids near the
cooker while it is in use.
• No warranty claims can be lodged for any
damage resulting from failure to observe
these instructions.
Operating for the first time
Before operating the appliance for the first
time, please pay attention to the following
notes:
• Remove the packaging from the appliance
and dispose of it properly.
• Keep packaging elements away from chil-
dren. Thoroughly clean the appliance and
accessories before using them for the first
time. This will eliminate any "newness"
smells and soiling (see chapter entitled
"Cleaning and care ").
• Once the packaging has been removed,
check that the cooker is not damaged. If
you are in any doubt in this respect, do
not use the cooker. Contact the supplier.
• Some components are covered with a
protective film to prevent them from
being scratched. This film must be
removed before the cooker is started up
and the protected component should be
cleaned using a cloth and a non-abrasive
household cleaner. Before using the cook-
er for the first time, we recommend that
you heat up the empty oven for around 30
minutes at the maximum temperature.
• The appliance must only be connected by an
authorised specialist.
• All gas installation and set up work must
be carried out by an approved fitter in
accor-dance with the relevant safety regu-
lations. Specific information relating to
this is given in the fitter's instructions.
