Important Information For Installation And Usage - Siemens Cooktop Operating Instructions Manual

Important information for
installation
1 - For safety reasons, do not allow the flames
to extend beyond the edge of the cooking
appliance.
2 - Remember that the appliance heats up
when in use. Remember to use common
sense. The absence of a flame does not
mean that the appliance parts are no longer
hot.
3 - For safety reasons, this appliance should
not be used for room heating purposes.
4 - Make sure the power supply is
disconnected before dismantling the
appliance.
5 - Do not store combustible materials,
such as gasoline, other vapors and
inflammable liquids near the appliance.
6 - Do not block the combustion or ventilation
air flow .
• If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open
windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates
before using the appliance.
• If you smell gas, your installer has not done
a proper job of checking for leaks. If the
connections are not perfectly light, you can
have a small leak and, therefore, a faint smell.
Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself"
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with
the burner control in the ON position and this
must be done by a qualified service technician.
See Warning, page. 3.
7 - Maintain a minimum distance of 762 mm
(30") between the gas cooktop and cabinets
installed in the upper part.
4
and usage
8 - The gas pressure regulator supplied with
the appliance must be installed in the gas
piping line.
9 - The appliance and its individual shutoff val-
ve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing
of the system at test pressures in excess of
3.5 kPa (1/2 psig). The appliance must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 3.5 kPa (1/2 psig).
10 - Important: When using an especially
large pan, leave a minimum space of 50 mm
(2") to prevent damage to countertops of
wooden, plastic or other non-heat resistant
materials. Never leave hot oil or grease
unattended.
11 - Make the caution about leaving oil or
grease unattended.
•
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high
heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef
Flambe').
• Use high heat settings on the cooktop only
when necessary. To avoid bubbling and
splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than
a low-medium setting. Hot oil is capable of
causing extreme burns and injury.
• Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
