IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Risk of fire
When gas burners are in operation without any
cookware placed on them, they can build up a lot of
heat. A ventilation appliance installed above the cooker
may become damaged or catch fire. Only operate the
gas burners with cookware on them.
WARNING
Risk of fire
During simultaneous use of multiple gas burners, a
great deal of heat is created. A ventilation device
located above it can become damaged or catch fire.
Never use two gas burners together at maximum heat for
longer than 15 minutes. One large burner with over
17,000 BTU/hr (5 kW) (wok) is equal to the wattage of
two gas burners.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Operating several gas burners at the same time gives
rise to a great deal of heat. The ventilation appliance
may become damaged or catch fire. The ventilation
appliance must only be combined with gas burners that
do not exceed the maximum total output of 61,000 BTU/
hr (18 kW). If 41,000 BTU/hr (12 kW) is exceeded, the
local regulations concerning room ventilation, room
size, and combination with ventilation devices in exhaust
and recirculating operation must be followed.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Hot oil and fat catch fire fast. Never leave hot oil and fat
unsupervised. Never extinguish a fire with water. Switch
off the cooking position. Suffocate flames carefully with
a lid, a fire blanket or similar.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents or legal
guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe
practices by qualified persons.

appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang

drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the
appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing
severe injury.

closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets
should not be left alone or unattended in the area where
the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to
play in its vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
