en Safety
Escaping gas may cause an explosion. Small
amounts of gas can collect over a longer
period of time and ignite.
▶
Close the safety valve for the gas supply
when the appliance is out of use for pro-
longed periods.
Escaping gas may cause an explosion. 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.
▶
Always use liquefied gas bottles in an up-
right position.
WARNING‒Risk of suffocation!
The use of a gas cooker leads to a build-up
of heat, moisture and combustion products in
the room where the appliance is installed.
▶
Ensure that the installation room is suffi-
ciently ventilated, in particular when operat-
ing the gas cooker.
▶
If the appliance is used intensively and for
prolonged periods, ensure that there is ad-
ditional ventilation so that the combustion
products are safely fed to the outside, e.g.
if using existing ventilation equipment, set a
higher performance level and, at the same
time, ensure that the air is replaced with
fresh air in the installation room.
▶
Consult specialist personnel when installing
additional ventilation equipment.
WARNING‒Risk of fire!
Hot oils and fats ignite very quickly.
▶
Never leave hot oil or fat 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.
The hotplates become very hot.
▶
Never place combustible items on the hob.
▶
Do not store any objects on the hob.
The appliance will become hot.
▶
Do not keep combustible objects or aero-
sol cans in drawers directly underneath the
hob.
▶
Never store or use combustible materials
(e.g. spray cans or cleaning agents) under
the appliance or in its immediate vicinity.
Hob covers can cause accidents, for example
due to overheating, catching fire or materials
shattering.
▶
Do not use hob covers.
When gas burners are in operation without
any cookware 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 cook-
ware on them.
The appliance becomes very hot, fabrics and
other objects may ignite.
▶

away from the flames.
▶
Never reach over the flames.
▶
Do not place combustible objects (e.g. tea
towels or newspapers) on, next to or be-
hind the appliance.
Escaping gas may ignite.
▶
If the burner does not ignite after
15seconds, turn the control knob to the
"Off" position and open the door or window
in the room. Wait at least one minute be-
fore igniting the burner again.
▶
In the event of the burner flames being ac-
cidentally extinguished, turn off the burner
control and do not attempt to re-ignite the
burner for at least one minute.
WARNING‒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.
Unsuitable safety devices or child protection
grilles may result in accidents.

tection grilles, which have been approved
