(Tel: Talking pages 0 800 600 900)
In other countries please follow relevant country specific procedures on gas.

Warning and Safety instructions
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the appliance, please
read these instructions carefully
before using it for the first time. They
contain important notes on its
installation, safety, use and
maintenance.
The use of the appliance by the
elderly or infirm or those who have
not used the appliance before
should be supervised by a
competent and responsible person
to avoid the risk of injury.
A data plate for your appliance is
supplied with this documentation. It
should be stuck into the space
provided at the end of the instruction
book.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place for reference, and pass them
on to any future user.
Installation and connection
The connection to the gas supply
must be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person in strict
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations, e.g. a Corgi
registered service technician in the
U.K. 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.
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system which
complies with current local and national
safety regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly, and where
there is any doubt, the household
wiring system 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).
Ensure that the gas pipe and
electrical cable are installed in
such a way that they do not touch any
parts of the appliance which become
hot. This could cause damage.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electrical supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This equipment may only be used
in mobile installations such as
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.

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.
Use this appliance for the
preparation of food only. Any other
usage is at the owner's risk and could
be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damage
resulting from incorrect or improper use
or operation.
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.
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.
Make sure all the components of
the gas burner have been correctly
assembled before switching on.
When using the gas hob, ensure
that any burners in use are always
covered with a pan. If using a cooker
hood above it 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.

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 allow
them to 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.
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
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.
In countries where there are areas
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.
Stainless steel surfaces:
Avoid allowing liquids or foods
containing salt to spill onto a
stainless steel hob or trim. If salty foods
or liquids do get on the hob, they
should be removed as soon as possible
to avoid the risk of corrosion.
Replace the pan supports carefully
to avoid scratching the surface.
Appliances with a ceramic surface:
Do not drop anything on the
ceramic surface. Even a light
object could cause damage in certain
circumstances.
