USE

Notes:

Use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. The
room must therefore be well ventilated by keeping the natural air vents clear (fig. 3) and by activating
the mechanical aeration device (suction hood or electric fan fig. 4 and fig. 5).
Intensive and lengthy use of the appliance may require additional ventilation. This can be achieved by
opening a window or by increasing the power of the mechanical exhausting system if installed.

Abnormal Operation:

Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and may require servicing:

- Yellow tipping of the hob burner flame.

- Sooting up of cooking utensils.

- Burners not igniting properly.

- Burners failing to remain alight.

- Burners extinguished by cupboard doors.

- Gas valves which are difficult to turn.
