
The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time
after being turned off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a
possibility that it could still be hot.

You can burn yourself on a hot cooktop. When cooking on the
appliance, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders or
oven mitts. Only use dry pot holders or gloves. Wet or damp textiles
conduct heat more effectively and produce steam, which poses a
burn hazard. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the gas flames.
Do not use oversized cloths, dish towels or other similar materials.

If the cooktop is accidentally turned on or is still hot, metal
objects on the appliance can heat up. Other items may melt or catch
fire. Do not place unused items on the cooktop for storage!

A range hood installed above the cooktop can become damaged
or catch fire as a result of intense heat. Do not use the gas burners
without cookware.

When in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat,
which can cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire.
Never use the cooktop to heat the room.

Only light the gas burners after all burner parts have been
properly assembled.

If the cookware is too small, it will not sit properly on the burner
grate. If the cookware is too large, heat emitted from the bottom of
the cookware may damage the countertop, walls with poor heat-
resistance (e.g. paneled walls) or portions of the cooktop.

Make sure that the burner flames do not extend beyond the
bottom of the cookware and rise up its sides.

Only use cookware with a thick enough bottom. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the cooktop.

Always use the burner grates supplied with the cooktop. Never
place cookware directly on the burner.
