PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL ADVICE

• Before any cleaning or maintenance
operation, disconnect the cooktop from
mains power supply.
• The use of a gas appliance produces heat
and humidity in the room. Ensure that the
room is well ventilated, or install an
extractor hood with exhaust duct.
• In case of prolonged use, additional
ventilation may be needed (opening a
window or increasing the extraction force of
the hood).
• Keep children away from the cooking hob
when it is in use.
• After use, ensure that the knobs are in
position
(off), and close the main gas
delivery valve or the gas cylinder valve.
• Attention: the lid (where present) might
break if overheated. Before closing it, make
sure that all the burners are off.
• Warning: The protective rubber feet on the
panstand grids represent a choking hazard
for young children.
After cleaning the panstand grids, please
ensure that all the rubber feet are correctly
fitted.
• Keep the packaging material (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of the reach of
children, as they are potentially dangerous.
• Check whether the cooktop has been damaged
during transport.
• Ensure that the installation and gas/
electrical connections are performed by a
