this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.

Before installation, make sure that

the voltage and frequency listed on the rating label correspond with the household electrical supply. This data must correspond to prevent injury and appliance damage. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

Do not operate the appliance until it

has been properly installed in the countertop.

Under no circumstance open the

outer casing of the appliance. This is a safety hazard and may damage the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before servicing, turn off the gas

Do not heat empty pots or pans.

This may cause damage to the cookware and the surrounding area. Danger of fire.

Do not leave the cooktop

unattended while in use. Boil-overs cause smoking, and greasy spill-overs may ignite.

Do not use water on grease fires.

Smother any fire or flame using a lid, or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

WARNING - NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating.

Protect your hands with oven mitts

or potholders when using the appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces can result in steam burns. Do not let the potholder touch the hot heating elements. Do not use towels or other bulky items near the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not flambé under an exhaust

hood. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction or the grease filters may ignite.

Take care that drafts do not blow

flammable material toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.

Only certain types of glass / ceramic

or other glazed cookware are suitable for use on a cooktop without breaking due to a sudden temperature change. Verify with cookware manufacturer.

Be aware of loose fitting or hanging

garments while operating the cooktop, they may present a fire hazard.

Be careful not to drop anything on

the ceramic surface. Even lightweight objects may cause damage.

Only use cooking utensils suitable

for cooktop use.

Do not store items on the appliance

when not in use. Items could melt or catch fire from residual heat or if the appliance is turned on inadvertently. Always switch the burner(s) off after use.

Do not store aerosols, combustibles

or any other easily flammable materials underneath or adjacent to the appliance.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil

on any part of the cooktop. It melts at high temperatures. Fire hazard.

Do not heat unopened containers.

Built-up pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

Make sure all components of the

gas burner are assembled correctly before using the cooktop.

Do not use pans that extend past

the burner grate. Using larger pans may cause the flames to spread out and damage the surrounding countertop or other countertop appliances.

For safety and stability, do not use

pans with a bottom diameter smaller than the burner grate.

Only certain types of glass, ceramic

or other glazed cookware are suitable for use on a combiset without breaking due to the sudden temperature change.

Do not let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate on the appliance. Fire Hazard.

Place the grates on vertically to

prevent any scratches.

The use of a gas cooktop leads to

the formation of heat, moisture and combustion products in the room where the appliance is installed. Ensure proper attention is paid to the ventilation of the installation area: windows kept open or a ventilation hood installed and running.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using a portable appliance

near the cooktop, make sure that its power cord does not come in contact with the cooktop.

If there is a drawer directly

underneath the appliance without a wooden base in between, ensure that no aerosols, combustible liquids or other easily flammable materials are kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be placed in the drawer, they must be made of a heat-resistant material.

Do not use roasting pans, frying

pans or grill stones large enough to cover several burners. The resulting heat accumulation can damage the appliance.

If the gas cooktop is installed

behind a cabinet door, it must only be used with the door open. Only close the cabinet door when the appliance is switched off.

If the gas cooktop has not been

used for an unusually long time, it should be thoroughly cleaned before using it again and checked that it is working properly by an authorized expert.

Before discarding an old appliance,

disconnect it from the gas and electrical supply, and cut off the power cord to prevent it from becoming a hazard.

ß The gas supply is turned off

& Highest flame

/ Lowest flame

Turning on

^ To light the burner, press the corresponding burner control

knob and turn it counterclockwise to the largest flame symbol.

Pressing a burner control knob automatically generates a spark at all burners on the cooktop. This is normal and does not indicate a faulty appliance.

If the flame goes out prematurely, turn the burner control knob to "ß". Air out the room or wait at least 1 minute before attempting to reignite. You may have to keep the burner control knob pressed a little longer.

If the burner does not ignite even at the second attempt, turn the burner control knob to "ß" and and see "Frequently asked questions".
