m Warning – WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL
GAS!
Escaping gas may cause an explosion.
If you smell gas or notice any faults in the
gas installation:
▯ Do not light any appliance.
▯ Do not touch any electrical switch; do not
use any phone in the building.
▯ Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbour's phone. Follow the gas
supplier's instructions.
▯ If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call
the fire department.
m Warning – Risk of asphyxiation!
The use of a gas cooker leads to a build-up of
heat, moisture and products of combustion in
the room where the appliance is installed.
Ensure that the installation room is well
ventilated. The natural ventilation openings
must be kept open or a mechanical ventilation
device must be provided (e.g. an extractor
hood). Intensive and persistent use of the
appliance may mean that it is necessary to have
additional ventilation (e.g. opening a window),
or more effective ventilation (e.g. operating the
existing mechanical ventilation device at a
higher setting).
m Warning – Risk of fire!
▯ Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never
leave hot fat or oil unattended. Never use
water to put out burning oil or fat. Switch
off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully
using a lid, fire blanket or something
similar.
Risk of fire!
▯ The hotplates become very hot. Never
place combustible items on the hob. Never
place objects on the hob.
Risk of fire!
▯ The appliance becomes very hot and
flammable materials could catch fire. Never
store or use flammable objects (e.g. spray
cans, cleaning agents) under the appliance
or in its immediate vicinity. Never place
flammable items on or in the appliance.
Risk of fire!
▯ When gas hotplates are in operation
without any cookware placed on them, they
can build up a lot of heat. The appliance
and the extractor hood above it may
become damaged or be set on fire. Grease
residue in the filter of the extractor hood
may ignite. Only operate the gas burners
with cookware on them.

Important safety information
en
Risk of deflagration!
▯ If the burner does not ignite after
15 seconds, switch off the control knob
and open the door or window in the room.
Wait at least 1 minute before igniting the
burner again.
m Warning – Risk of burns!
▯ The appliance becomes hot during
operation. Allow the appliance to cool
down before cleaning.
Risk of burns!
▯ The hotplates and surrounding area
(particularly the hob surround, if fitted)
become very hot. Never touch the hot
surfaces. Keep children at a safe distance.
Risk of burns!
▯ The accessible parts become very hot
when in operation. Never touch hot parts.
Keep children at a safe distance.
Risk of burns!
▯ When the appliance cover is closed, heat
will accumulate. Only close the appliance
cover when the appliance has cooled
down. Never switch the appliance on with
the appliance cover closed. Do not rest
food on the appliance cover or use it to
keep food warm.
Risk of burns!
▯ Empty cookware becomes extremely hot
when set on a gas hotplate that is in
operation. Never heat up empty cookware.
Risk of burns!
▯ If the liquefied gas bottle is not upright,
liquefied propane/butane can enter the
appliance. Intense darting flames may
therefore escape from the burners.
Components may become damaged and
start to leak over time so that gas escapes
uncontrollably. Both can cause burns.
Always use liquefied gas bottles in an
upright position.
m Warning – Risk of injury!
▯ Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs
may only be carried out, and damaged
power and gas lines replaced, by an aftersales engineer trained by us. If the

or switch off the fuse in the fuse box. Shut
off the gas supply. Contact the after-sales
service.

dangerous. Never switch on a faulty
appliance. Unplug the appliance from the
mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the
fuse box. Shut off the gas supply. Contact
the after-sales service.
Risk of injury!
▯ Unsuitable pan sizes, damaged or
incorrectly positioned pans can cause
serious injury. Observe the instructions
which accompany the cookware.
m Warning – Risk of electric shock and
serious injury!
▯ The cable insulation on electrical
appliances may melt when touching hot
parts of the appliance. Never bring
electrical appliance cables into contact
