1 Safety precautions
Caution: Risk of deflagration!
▪ Unburned gas can accumulate in enclosed areas. Please read the warnings
carefully.
Caution: Risk of toxic fumes!
▪ A gas hob produces heat, moisture and combustion by-products in the
room in which it is used. Ensure the kitchen is well ventilated, especially
when the hob is in use: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a
mechanical ventilation device (extractor hood). Prolonged intensive use of
the appliance may call for additional or more effective ventilation: open a
window or increase the extraction rate of the range hood.
Caution: Fire hazard!
▪ The cooking zones become very hot. Do not rest any objects on the hob.
▪ Do not store or use corrosive, chemical or flammable cleaning agents or
products underneath or near to this household appliance.
Caution: Burns hazard!
▪ Overheated fat and oil can easily catch fire. Never attempt to extinguish
burning oil or fat with water. Danger of explosion! Smother the flames with a
fire blanket. Keep doors and windows closed.
▪ Exercise care when touching cookware handles as they can become hot.
Caution: Risk of injury!
▪ Cookware that is damaged, is not the right size or is not positioned cor-
rectly can cause serious damage. Check the cookware is fit for purpose before use. Centre the cookware in the middle of the relevant cooking zone.
Follow the tips and warnings that come with suitable cookware.
▪ In the event of a malfunction, turn off the gas and electrical supply to the ap-
pliance. Call our Customer Services.
▪ Do not tamper inside the appliance. If necessary, please call our Customer
Services.
▪ Use of unsuitable protective guards can cause accidents.
▪ If a control knob will not turn, do not force it. Call our Customer Services im-
mediately for repair or replacement.
▪ Keep pets away from the appliance.
Caution: Risk to life!
▪ Packaging materials, e.g. plastic film and polystyrene, can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children.

How to avoid damaging the appliance
▪ In case of overheating, switch the hob off and allow it to cool down com-
pletely. Do not put any dishes on it. Under no circumstances use cold water
to cool it down quickly.
▪ Do not climb on to the appliance.
▪ Do not cut or prepare food on the surface and avoid impact with hard ob-
jects. Do not drag cookware across the surface.
▪ Do not allow food to get onto the surfaces when they are hot, as it can dam-
age them. If food were to get onto the surfaces when they are hot, it must
be cleaned off straightaway.
▪ Only use cookware that is suitable for cooking with gas.
▪ Moving pans and cookware around causes scratches. This can be largely
prevented by lifting pans and cookware up and then placing them down in
position.
▪ The hob is designed to be used – signs of use, such as scratches or the
wear and tear from pans and cookware, are normal. The more intensively it
is used, the greater the signs of use; however, the appliance remains in perfect working order and therefore does not give a right of complaint. Safety is
guaranteed at all times.
1.5 Warnings
Please observe the notes on use in the «Cookware» (see page 14)
section.
▪ It is normal for a new appliance to give off an unpleasant smell when it is
first used. It does not indicate the existence of a danger or a defect. The
smell will fade over time.
▪ The colour of the flame can sometimes be orange. This is normal. It occurs
when there is dust in the air, when some liquid spills over, etc.
▪ If a burner flame accidentally goes out, turn the control knob for the burner
to «Off» and wait at least one minute before reigniting it.
▪ A noise can be heard a few seconds after the burner is turned on and off.
This is normal. It indicates that the safety system has opened or shut down
the flow of gas.
▪ Ensure that the appliance is kept clean. If the ignition sparkers or thermo-
couples are dirty, the burners will not light or work properly. Clean the ignition sparkers and thermocouples periodically using a small non-wire brush.
Ensure that the ignition sparkers and thermocouples receive no hard
knocks.
