These instructions are only valid if the appropriate country symbol appears on the appliance. If the symbol does not appear on the appliance, it is necessary to refer to the technical instructions which will provide the necessary instructions concerning modification of the appliance to the conditions of use of the country.

Appliance category: Category 1 Check the appliance for damage after

unpacking it. Do not connect the appliance if it has been damaged in transport.

Only allow a licensed professional to connect the appliance and to convert the appliance to a different type of gas. The appliance must be installed (electric and gas connections) in accordance with the instruction and installation manual. An incorrect connection or incorrect settings may lead to serious accidents and damage to the appliance. The appliance manufacturer accepts no liability for damage of this kind. The appliance's warranty becomes void.

Caution:This appliance is for cooking purposes only. It must not be used for other purposes, for example room heating.

This appliance is intended for use up to a maximum height of 2000 metres above sea level.

Caution:The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat, moisture and products of combustion in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially when the appliance is in use: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).

Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

This appliance is not designed for operation with an external timer or by remote control.

Do not use inappropriate child safety shields or hob guards. These can cause accidents.

This appliance may be used by children over the age of 8 years old and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or by persons with a lack of experience or knowledge if they are supervised or are instructed by a person responsible for their safety how to use the appliance safely and have understood the associated hazards.

Causes of damage

Hob

Caution!

■ Only use the burners when cookware has been placed on

top. Do not heat up empty pots or pans. The saucepan base will be damaged.

■ Only use pots and pans with an even base.

■ Place the pot or pan centrally over the burner. This will

optimise transfer of the heat from the burner flame to the pot or ban base. The handle does not become damaged, and greater energy savings are guaranteed.

■ Ensure that the gas burners are clean and dry. The burner

cup and burner cap must be positioned exactly.

■ Ensure that the top cover is not closed when the oven is

started up.

Damage to the oven

Caution!

■ Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the

cooking compartment floor: do not place accessories on the cooking compartment floor. Do not cover the cooking compartment floor with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper. Do not place ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will cause heat to accumulate. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged.

■ Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour water into

the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will cause

steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the enamel.

■ Moist food: do not store moist food in the cooking

compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods This will damage the enamel.

■ Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not

pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If possible, use the deeper universal pan.

■ Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the cooking

compartment to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could be damaged over time.

■ Very dirty door seal: If the door seal is very dirty, the

appliance door will no longer close properly when the appliance is in use. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged.Always keep the door seal clean.

■ Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not sit on the

appliance door, or place or hang anything on it. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.

■ Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance model,

accessories can scratch the door panel when closing the appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment as far as they will go.

■ Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the appliance by

the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could break.
