Warning and Safety instructions
Correct usage
For safety reasons the appliance
must only be used after it has been
built in. This is necessary to ensure that
all electrical components are shielded.
This appliance is intended for
domestic use only and is not to be
used for commercial purposes.
Use this appliance for the
preparation of meals only. Any
other usage is at the owner's risk and
could be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damage
caused by incorrect or improper use of
the appliance.
Do not use the appliance to heat
up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects near the
appliance could catch fire. The life of
the appliance could also be reduced.
Using the gas hob will cause a
build-up of heat and moisture in
the room in which it is installed. Ensure
that the room has sufficient natural or
mechanical means of ventilation, e.g.
an extractor.

If the hob is used for very long
periods of time, additional
ventilation of the room may be
necessary, e.g. by opening windows or
doors, or running the extractor on the
highest setting.
This appliance must not be set up
or operated in the open air.
Make sure all the components of
the gas burner have been correctly
assembled before switching on.
Ensure that air inlet is never
covered over with a cloth or
anything else.
When using a cooker hood over
the gas hob, ensure that the burner
is always covered with a pan when in
use. Otherwise flames could be drawn
up by the suction of the cooker hood,
parts of which could then be damaged
or even set on fire.
Pans must be the correct size for
the burner they are used on (see
"Woks" and "Pans"). A pan which is too
small will be unstable on the pan
support. If the pan diameter is too
large, flames can spread out to the
sides and damage or burn the worktop,
wall claddings or surrounding units and
also parts of the hob. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for this type of
damage.
Do not store any inflammable
objects near the gas hob.
