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 use containers made of

~

plastic or aluminium. They may melt at
high temperatures.

The burner grates supplied with the

appliance must always be used. Never
place a pan on the burner by itself.

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.
