IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Remove all grease splatters and other flammable (food) residues
on the cooktop. They are a fire hazard.

Install the burner grates in an upright position to avoid scratching
the cooktop.

Do not use roasting dishes, pans, or grilling stones that are large
enough to cover several burners. The resulting heat buildup can
damage the appliance.

If the cooktop has not been used for a long period of time, be
sure to thoroughly clean it and have it inspected by an authorized
technician before using it again.

The use of the cooktop creates heat, moisture and combustion
products in the room where it is installed. Make sure that the
appliance is installed in location with sufficient ventilation. Natural
ventilation openings should not be blocked. Alternatively, a
mechanical ventilation device (e.g. a range hood) can be installed.

Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may require additional
ventilation of the room, e.g., by opening a window, or by turning the
range hood to a higher setting.

Ask your installer to show you the location of your gas shutoff
valve and fuses or circuit breaker panel in your apartment or home.
Be sure that you know how and where to disconnect the gas and
power supply to your cooktop.

Ensure that the igniters are clean and dry to allow the burners to
ignite and burn properly.

Fire hazard! Loose-fitting or hanging garments can catch fire. Be
sure to wear appropriately fitting clothing when cooking. Never allow
loose clothing or flammable materials to come into contact with the
burners while the burners are in use.

When you have finished cooking, make sure that the burners and
oven are turned off by checking the position of the knobs.
