placed on them, they can build up a lot of heat. A
ventilation appliance installed above the cooker may
become damaged or catch fire. Only operate the gas
burners with cookware on them.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
During simultaneous use of multiple gas cooktops, a
great deal of heat is created. A ventilation device located
above it can become damaged or catch fire. Never use
two gas cooktops together at maximum heat for longer
than 15 minutes. One large burner with over 17,000 Btu/
hr (5 kW) (wok) is equal to the wattage of two gas
burners.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
Hot oil and fat catch fire fast. Never leave hot oil and fat
unsupervised. Never extinguish a fire with water. Switch
off the cooking position. Suffocate flames carefully with a
lid, a fire blanket or similar.

when reaching behind or under appliance.
WARNING
When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode
simultaneously with a different burner which also makes
use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or coal-fired
heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water boilers) care
must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate supply
of fresh air which will be needed by the burner for
combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the under
pressure in the room where the burner is installed does
not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through
non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via
the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical
measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.
WARNING
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning – Provide adequate
air intake so combustion gases are not drawn back into
the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no
guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the
combined ventilation system for the entire household
must be taken into consideration. This rule does not
apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as
cooktops and ovens.
CAUTION
Grease left on filters can remelt and move into the vent.
