Warning and Safety instructions
Building in and connection
This appliance complies with all
relevant legal safety requirements.
Incorrect use can, however, lead to
personal injury and damage to the
appliance.
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the appliance, read
these instructions carefully before
using it for the first time. They
contain important notes on the
installation, safety, operation and
care of the appliance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place for reference and pass them
on to any future user.
The connection to the gas supply
must be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person in
accordance with 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 in strict
accordance with local and national
safety regulations. 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 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 electricity 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
installed 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 the appliance
must only be used 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 meals only. 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.
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.
Ensure that air inlet is never
covered over with a cloth or
anything else.
When using a cooker hood over
the gas hob, ensure that the burner
is always covered with a pan when in
use. 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
"Woks" and "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 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.
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 drop anything on the glass
surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.
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.
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.
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 and other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance
guarantee.
Protection from burning
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.
To avoid burning yourself, use oven
gloves. Ensure that these 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 gloves get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the
material more quickly with the risk of
scalding or 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.
Do not use the hob as a resting
place for anything else. The article
could melt or catch fire if residual heat
is still present or if the appliance is
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
is switched on by mistake.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Remove splashes of fat and other
food debris from the surface as
soon as possible. These are a fire
hazard.
Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil
or fat as these are fire hazards if
overheated. Very hot oil can catch fire
and could even set a cooker hood
above on fire. 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
extinguisher or 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.
