PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL ADVICE
•
Disconnect the hob from the power supply before
any cleaning or maintenance operation.
The use of a gas appliance produces heat and
•
humidity in the room. Make sure 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 hood
extraction speed).
Keep children away from the hob when in use and
•
when its has just been switched off.
The appliance is not intended for use by people
•
(including children) with limited physical, sensory or
mental abilities or without experience and
knowledge of it, unless they are under the supervision
of or instructed in its use by a person responsible for
their safety.
•
After use, make sure the knobs are in the off position,
and close the main
gas cock or the gas cylinder
valve.
Attention: The cover (if present) could break if
•
overheated. Before closing it, make sure all the
burners are off.
ENERGY SAVING

•
different widths. Use pots and pans with bottoms the same
width as that of the burners and hotplate, or slightly larger.
•
Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.
•
The pots and pans must not overlap the control panel.
