m Warning – WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL
GAS!
Escaping gas may cause an explosion.
If you smell gas or notice any faults in the
gas installation:
▯ Immediately shut off the gas supply or
close the gas cylinder valve.
▯ Immediately extinguish all naked flames and
cigarettes.
▯ Do not use any light or appliance switches
and do not pull any plugs out of sockets.
Do not use any telephones or mobile
phones within the building.
▯ Open windows and ventilate the room.
▯ Call the aftersales service or the gas
supplier.
m Warning – Risk of asphyxiation!
The use of a gas cooker leads to a build-up of
heat, moisture and products of combustion in
the room where the appliance is installed.
Ensure that the installation room is well
ventilated. The natural ventilation openings
must be kept open or a mechanical ventilation
device must be provided (e.g. an extractor
hood). Intensive and persistent use of the
appliance may mean that it is necessary to have
additional ventilation (e.g. opening a window),
or more effective ventilation (e.g. operating the
existing mechanical ventilation device at a
higher setting).
m Warning – Risk of fire!
▯ Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never
leave hot fat or oil unattended. Never use
water to put out burning oil or fat. Switch
off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully
using a lid, fire blanket or something
similar.
Risk of fire!
▯ The hotplates become very hot. Never
place combustible items on the hob. Never
place objects on the hob.
Risk of fire!
▯ The appliance becomes very hot and
flammable materials could catch fire. Never
store or use flammable objects (e.g. spray
cans, cleaning agents) under the appliance
or in its immediate vicinity. Never place
flammable items on or in the appliance.
Fire hazard!
▯ The appliance becomes very hot, fabrics
and other objects may ignite. Keep fabrics
(e.g. garments, curtains) away from the
flames. Never reach over the flames. Do not
place flammable objects (e.g. tea towel,
newspapers) on, next to or behind the
appliance.
Risk of fire!
▯ When gas hotplates are in operation
without any cookware placed on them, they
can build up a lot of heat. The appliance
and the extractor hood above it may
become damaged or be set on fire. Grease
residue in the filter of the extractor hood
may ignite. Only operate the gas burners
with cookware on them.
Risk of deflagration!
▯ If the burner does not ignite after
15 seconds, switch off the control knob
and open the door or window in the room.
Wait at least 1 minute before igniting the
burner again.
m Warning – Risk of burns!
▯ The appliance becomes hot during
operation. Allow the appliance to cool
down before cleaning.
Risk of burns!
▯ The hotplates and surrounding area
(particularly the hob surround, if fitted)
become very hot. Never touch the hot
surfaces. Keep children at a safe distance.
Risk of burns!
▯ The accessible parts become very hot
when in operation. Never touch hot parts.
Keep children at a safe distance.
