Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.

Before installing and using the appliance for the first time, read the operating and installation instructions carefully. They give information on safety, on the operation and care of the appliance. This way you will avoid the risk of accident and damage to the appliance.

Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

Keep these instructions in a safe place for reference and pass them on to any future user.

Technical safety

when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system, which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested regularly, and if there is any doubt, the electrical wiring in the home should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

such a way that they do not touch any parts of the appliance which become hot. This could cause damage.

extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed

Ensure that the gas pipe and electrical cable are installed in

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by an

The connection to the gas supply

must be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with local and national safety regulations. If the appliance is supplied without a plug, or if the plug is removed, it must be connected to the mains electricity supply by a suitably qualified and competent electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct usage

For safety reasons this appliance

must only be operated after it has been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.

This appliance is intended for

domestic use only and is not to be used for commercial purposes.

Only use the appliance to prepare

food in the home. Any other usage is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect or improper use of the appliance.

Do not use the appliance to heat

up the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire. The life of the appliance could also be reduced.

Using the gas hob will cause a

build-up of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the room has sufficient natural or mechanical means of ventilation, e.g. an extractor.

Make sure all the components of the gas burner have been correctly

assembled before switching on.

When using a cooker hood over

the gas hob, ensure that any burners in use are always covered with a pan. Otherwise flames could be drawn up by the suction of the cooker hood, parts of which could then be damaged or even set on fire.

Pans must be the correct size for

the burner they are used on (see "Suitable pans"). A pan which is too small will be unstable on the pan support. If the pan diameter is too large flames can spread out to the sides and damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings or surrounding units and also parts of the hob. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for this type of damage.

Do not store any inflammable

objects near the gas hob.

If the hob is used for very long

periods of time, additional ventilation of the room may be necessary, e.g. by opening windows or doors, or running the extractor on the highest setting.

This appliance must not be set up

or operated in the open air.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

The appliance is only intended for

use by adults who have read these operating instructions.

This appliance is not a toy! To

avoid the risk of injury keep children well away and do not let them play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.

Older children may use the

appliance only when its operation has been clearly explained to them, and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

The appliance gets hot when in

use and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the appliance at all times.

Keep all pans out of reach of

children. Turn pan handles inwards away from the edge of the hob. Danger of burning or scalding. Special hob guards are available from good retail outlets.

Packaging (e.g. cling film,

polystyrene) and plastic wrappings must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all packaging safely as soon as possible.

Before disposing of an old

appliance, disconnect it from the gas and electricity supplies. Cut off and render any plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person.

Do not store anything which might

arouse a child's interest in storage areas above or next to the appliance. Otherwise they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk of burning themselves.

Warning and Safety instructions

Protecting the appliance from damage

Do not use a steam cleaner to

clean this appliance. The steam from the cleaning appliance could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to other components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability.

Unless the pan manufacturer

states that you can do so, do not use pans with very thin bases on this hob and never heat up empty pans as they could get damaged. This could also damage the appliance.

Avoid allowing liquids or foods

containing salt to spill onto the stainless steel surfaces. If salty foods or liquids do get on the hob, they should be removed as soon as possible to avoid the risk of corrosion.

Protection from burning and scalding

The surface of the appliance gets

hot when in use, and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. Do not touch it whilst it is still hot.

For added protection, it is

advisable to use heat-resistant pot holders or oven gloves when using the appliance. Ensure that they do not come into contact with the flames. Do not use large cloths, tea towels or similar as the ends could touch the flames and catch fire. Take care not to let the pot holders or gloves get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of burning yourself.

Do not heat up unopened tins of

food on the hob as pressure will build up in the tin and it can explode. This could result in injury and scalding or damage.

In countries which may be subject

to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Do not use the hob as a resting

place for anything else. The article could melt or catch fire if residual heat were still present or if the appliance was switched on by mistake.

Do not cover the appliance, e.g.

with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could be a fire hazard if the appliance was switched on by mistake.

Warning and Safety instructions

Remove splashes of fat and other

food debris from the surface as soon as possible. There is a danger that they will ignite when heated.

Never leave the appliance

unattended when cooking with oil or fat. Very hot oil can catch fire and cause damage, e.g. to a cooker hood above. Always heat fat slowly, watching as it heats.

If, despite this, oil or fat does catch

fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with water. Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.

Do not flambé under a cooker hood. The flames could set the

cooker hood on fire.

Ensure that the flames from the burner do not spread out beyond

the base and up the sides of the pan.

Warning and Safety instructions

Appliance faults

In the event of damage or a defect,

switch off the appliance immedi ately. Turn off the gas supply tap, and disconnect completely from the electricity supply. It should not be used again until it has been repaired. If the appliance has not yet been fully installed, the electricity cable must be disconnected from the supply point. If connected via a plug and socket, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug. Contact the Service Department. Do not reconnect the appliance to the mains electricity or gas supply until after it has been repaired.

Repairs to the gas and electrical

components of this appliance must only be carried out by a suitably qualified person. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be very dangerous and could damage the appliance. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Never open the housing of the appliance.

While the appliance is under

guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service engineer authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

Further safety notes

When using an electric socket near

the appliance, care should be taken that the cable of the electrical appliance does not come into contact with the hot appliance. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

Always ensure that food is

sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food and its temperature. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking; therefore when cooking or reheating foods such as poultry, it is particularly important that the food is completely cooked through. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil

containers. These melt at high temperatures and could catch fire.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other

inflammable substances must not be stored in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

If the appliance has not been used

for a longer period of time it should be thoroughly cleaned before it is used again. It is also advisable to have the appliance tested for safety. This should be done at regular intervals.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

Packaging (e.g. cling film, polystyrene) and plastic wrappings must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all packaging materials safely as soon as possible.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. If connected by a plug, the plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.
