This appliance must be installed according to the installation instructions included.
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. Damage caused by incorrect connection is not covered under warranty. Call the after-sales service if you want to convert your appliance to a different type of gas.
This appliance is intended for domestic use and
the household environment only. This appliance
must only be used to prepare food and drinks
and must never be used as a heater. Do not
leave the appliance unattended during
operation. Only use the appliance indoors.
This appliance is intended for use up to a maximum height of 2000 metres above sea level.
This appliance is not intended for operation with an external clock timer or a 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.
Children must not play with, on, or around the appliance. Children must not clean the appliance or carry out general maintenance unless they are at least 8 years old and are being supervised.
Keep children below the age of 8 years old at a safe distance from the appliance and power cable.
Close the safety valve on the gas supply line if the cooker will not be used for a prolonged period.
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:
▯ Immediately shut off the gas supply or close
the gas cylinder valve.
▯ Immediately extinguish all naked flames and
cigarettes.
▯ Do not use any light or appliance switches
and do not pull any plugs out of sockets. Do
not use any telephones or mobile phones
within the building.
▯ Open windows and ventilate the room.
▯ Call the aftersales service or the gas
supplier.
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).
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.
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!
▯ 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.
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 appliance
is faulty, unplug the mains plug or switch off
the fuse in the fuse box. Shut off the gas
supply. Contact the after-sales service.
Risk of injury!
▯ Faults or damage to the appliance are
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.
Risk of electric shock!
▯ Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs
may only be carried out by one of our trained
after-sales engineers. If the appliance is
faulty, unplug the mains plug or switch off
the fuse in the fuse box. Contact the aftersales service.
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 with hot parts of the
appliance.
Risk of electric shock!
▯ Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or
steam cleaners, which can result in an
electric shock.
