  • Do not let children play with packaging material.

Children may breathe in or swallow small parts, causing them to suffocate.

  • Keep small parts away from children.
  • Do not let children play with small parts.

The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood). Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

WARNING ‒ Risk of explosion!
Escaping gas may cause an explosion. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS OR IF THERE ARE 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 operate any light switches or appliance switches.
  • Do not pull any plugs out of any sockets.
  • Do not use any telephones or mobile phones within the building.
  • Open windows and ventilate the room.
  • Call the after sales service or the gas supplier.

Escaping gas may cause an explosion. Small amounts of gas can collect over a longer period of time and ignite.

  • Close the safety valve for the gas supply when the appliance is out of use for prolonged periods.

Escaping gas may cause an explosion. If the liquefied gas bottle is not upright, liquefied propane/butane can enter the appliance. Intense darting flames may therefore escape from the burners. Components may become damaged and start to leak over time so  that gas escapes uncontrollably.

  • Always use liquefied gas bottles in an upright position.

WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!

Leaving fat or oil cooking on an unattended hob can be dangerous and may lead to fires.

  • Never leave hot oil or fat unattended.
