Warning and Safety Instructions
Important safety instructions
Warning:
When using your cooktop, follow basic safety precautions including the following:
Read all instructions before using the cooktop.
Use the cooktop only for its intended purpose.
Do not use the cooktop unless all parts are properly in place accord-
ing to the installation and operating instructions.
Before servicing, disconnect the power supply by removing the fuse
or tripping the circuit breaker.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective grounding system.
It is imperative that this basic safety requirement is met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by the lack or inadequacy of an effective grounding system.
Do not connect the appliance to the main electrical supply using an exten-
sion cord. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
Never use the cooktop to warm or heat the room.
Store all toys away from the cooktop to prevent injury to curious or
playful children.
Please remember that, in use, burners and pot racks become hot.
Ensure that children do not touch them.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate
on the cooktop.
Allow sufficient time for the burners to cool before touching or expos-
ing surface areas to flammable materials.
Always cook pork thoroughly to ensure that, in the event of trichina,
all bacteria will be killed and the meat is safe to eat.
If high settings are used, remain near the cooktop and watch for splattering grease or boiling over which
may cause smoking.
Never use wet potholders.
Use only cookware suitable for range-top service. Unsuitable cookware may break due to sudden
temperature changes.

Warning and Safety Instructions
Always position the handle of the cookware toward the center of the range to minimize burns and spillage.
Before removing pots and pans, be sure to turn the cooktop ”OFF“.
Always heat oil slowly so it doesn’t bubble over.
When frying foods, make sure that the food is as dry as possible to
prevent moisture from causing hot oil to bubble over.
When shallow or deep frying, do not overfill the pan with oil.
Do not use a steam-cleaning appliance to clean the gas cooktop.
The steam could penetrate to electrical components and cause a short circuit.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Warning and Safety Instructions
Important notes for the user
Installation and maintenance should only be performed by a
qualified technician.
For safety reasons, this cooktop should only be installed as a built-
in appliance.
Please remember that the cooktop may become hot, not only around the burner, but also around the control
panel. Ensure that small children do not touch the cooktop when it is being used.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when cooking with oil or
fat. Overheated oil and fat can catch fire.
When cooking or boiling in large pots or pans, ensure that there is a
minimum distance of 2" (50 mm) between the pot and a heat-sensitive countertop. After combustion, the hot gases flow outwards under the base of the pot and may consequently burn the edge of the countertop if it is not heat resistant.
Make sure that there is a minimum distance of 5/8" (15 mm) between
the pot or pan and the control panel. Never place a pot on the control panel.
When using an electric outlet near the cooktop, care should be taken to ensure that the cable of the electrical
appliance does not fall into the flames.
When using a vent hood over a gas cooktop, make sure that any lit
burners are always covered with a pot or frying pan. Otherwise, parts of the vent hood could be damaged by the heat and / or flames.
Note and correct any potential hazards that may exist in regards to
overhead cabinets.
Do not use the cooktop for space heating.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.
Disposal of an old appliance
Before disposing of an old appliance, ensure that disconnection
from the gas supply is made by a qualified technician. Turn off at the main power source, and disconnect and remove the appliance cable. This is intended to prevent the discarded appliance from becoming a hazard.
Text highlighted in boxes is of particular importance and should be read in conjunction with the Warning and Safety instructions.
