Safety - Siemens EC6A H 90I Series Information For Use

en Safety
Escaping gas may cause an explosion. Small
amounts of gas can collect over a longer
period of time and ignite.
▶ Close the safety valve for the gas supply
when the appliance is out of use for pro-
longed periods.
Escaping gas may cause an explosion. If the
liquefied gas bottle is not upright, liquefied
propane/butane can enter the appliance. In-
tense darting flames may therefore escape
from the burners. Components may become
damaged and start to leak over time so that
gas escapes uncontrollably.
▶ Always use liquefied gas bottles in an up-
right position.
WARNING ‒ Risk of poisoning!
Using the gas cooking appliance leads to a
build-up of heat, moisture and combustion
products in the room where the appliance is
installed.
▶ Ensure that the kitchen is sufficiently ventil-
ated, in particular when operating the gas
cooking appliance.
▶ If the appliance is used intensively and for
prolonged periods, ensure that there is ad-
ditional ventilation so that the combustion
products are safely fed to the outside, e.g.
if using existing ventilation equipment, set a
higher performance level and, at the same
time, ensure that the air is replaced with
fresh air in the room where the appliance is
installed.
▶ Consult specialist personnel when installing
additional ventilation equipment.
WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
Leaving fat or oil cooking on an unattended
hob can be dangerous and may lead to fires.
▶ Never leave hot oil or fat unattended.
▶ Never attempt to extinguish a fire using wa-
ter; instead, switch off the appliance and
then cover with a lid or a fire blanket.

Hob covers can cause accidents, for example
due to overheating, catching fire or materials
shattering.
▶ Do not use hob covers.
When gas burners are in operation without
any cookware placed on them, they can build
up a lot of heat. The extractor hood above it
may become damaged or catch fire.

ware on them.
The appliance becomes very hot, fabrics and
other objects may ignite.
▶ Keep fabrics (e.g. garments or curtains)
away from the flames.

towels or newspapers) on, next to or be-
hind the appliance.
Escaping gas may ignite.
▶ If the burner does not ignite after
10 seconds, turn the control knob to the
"Off" position and open the door or window
in the room. Do not attempt to re-ignite the
burner for at least one minute.
▶ In the event of the burner flames being ac-
cidentally extinguished, turn off the burner
control. Do not attempt to re-ignite the
burner for at least one minute.
Food may catch fire.

short process must be monitored continu-
ously.
