Bosch HSB745.5.E Notes On Operation And Installation page 26

GB
• The gas supply piping should be inspect-
ed at regular intervals. In the event of any
defects, the piping should be replaced by
an approved fitter.
• Before connecting the cooker, ensure that
the data given on the rating plate (on the
inside of the front appliance drawer) cor-
responds with that of the electricity and
gas mains.
• Check that the power capacity of the sys-
tem and the sockets corresponds to the
maximum output indicated on the rating
plate. Contact a specialist if you have any
questions.
About use
• The appliances is intended solely for use in
the household and must not be put to any
other uses.
• Use the appliance to prepare meals only. it
must not be used to heat up the room in
which it is installed.
• Use of a gas cooker generates heat and
humidity in the room where it is installed.
This is why attention must be paid to good
kitchen ventilation. The natural ventilation
openings must be kept unobstructed. Pro-
longed use of the appliance with several or
all rings may call for additional ventilation
such as opening a window or a door,or
stronger air extraction by an extractor hood.
• Only ever use the burners after placing pots
and pans on them. Do not heat up any
empty pots or pans, this may result in build-
up of heat. Use pots pans with thicker bot-
toms because heat distribution is particular-
ly improved in the low setting. The better
the size of pots and pans is adapted to the
burner size, the better the heat of the gas
flame will be exploited and the more costs
will be saved. Cooking vessels with curved
bottoms, must not be used.
Important notes
• Pots with a diameter of less than 80 mm or
more than 260 mm should not be used.
When using larger pots, pay attention to
keeping to a minimum distance of 50 mm
between the cooking vessel and com-
bustible surroundings. A minimum dis-
tance of 15 mm must be observed between
the control knob and the pot or pan.
• Switch the burners to the low setting when-
ever you remove pots or pans briefly. In this
way, you reduce the risk of burns when
working next to naked flames; you also save
gas and reduce pollution.
• Whenever the gas hob is fitted under a
vapour extractor hood, always cover the
rings with pots or pans. Otherwise, parts of
the vapour extractor hood may become
damaged by the extreme heat development
or grease residues in the filter may ignite.
Ensure an adequate supply of air when
using a vapour exstractor operating in the
exhaust air mode.
• Some parts of the cooker will remain hot
for some time after use. Make sure that
you don't touch them.
• When baking and grilling, the glass panel
in the oven door and the surrounding
oven door components become hot to the
touch. You should therefore ensure that
children do not play near the oven.
• Unstable or misshapen pans must not be
placed on the gas burners. This helps to
avoid accidents caused by pans toppling
over.
In the event of malfunctions, contact your
specialist dealer or your responsible after-
sales service.
