Warning and Safety Instructions
This appliance complies with all rele-
vant legal safety requirements. Im-
proper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both per-
sonal injury and material damage.
Before installation and before using
the appliance for the first time read
the operating instructions carefully.
They give information on safety, on
the operation and care of the ap-
pliance. This way you will avoid the
risk of accidents and damage to the
appliance.
This appliance is intended for do-
mestic use.
Should it be installed for commercial
use the relevant regulations must be ob-
served.
For safety reasons, this appliance
must only be operated as a built-in
appliance. This is necessary to ensure
that all electric components are
shielded.
Ensure that the gas hose and elec-
tricity cable are installed in such a
way that they do not touch any parts of
the appliance which become hot. This
could cause damage.
The electrical safety of the ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
regulary tested by a qualified electri-
cian. The manufacturer can not be held
responsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system.

Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent engineers to
ensure safety e.g. "Corgi" registered en-
gineers in the U.K.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the ap-
pliance.
Please ensure that the domestic
electricity supply corresponds to
the information on the data plate.
You should find out details about the
type of gas and calorific value from
your Gas Board and compare this infor-
mation with the type of gas quoted on
the data plate.
They must correspond.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when it is switched off at the wall
socket, or the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Do not pull by the mains cable, but by
the plug when withdrawing the plug
from the socket.
When switched on, the pan sup-
ports and trough get very hot.
Do not let small children use the
appliance or touch it during oper-
ation. Not only do the cooking areas
heat up, but also the control panel.
Danger of burning. Keep all pans out of
the reach of children. Supervise use of
the hob by the elderly or infirm.
