■Don’t put the appliance into operation until the gas range technician who has installed it has explained its functions to you.

■Be sure to study the information in this booklet carefully. You’ll find important information about the safety and use of the appliance. Please remember that any damage resulting from incorrect operation doesn’t fall within the terms of the warranty.

■Using a gas cooker causes heat and humidity to build up in the room where the appliance is installed. For this reason your appliance should only be operated in a well ventilated room.

■The appliance is only intended for preparing food in private households.

■Don’t install or use the cook top in a mobile home.

■Don’t use the appliance to heat rooms. It’s unsafe.

■The gas supply should be switched off immediately if any problems occur during operation.

■Please keep these operating instructions in a safe place.

■Don’t turn the burners on unless there is a pan of food on top of them.

■Keep the appliance area clean and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids.

■For technical reasons regarding the gas supply, don’t use additional support burners on the burners.

■Fat and oil which become overheated can ignite automatically. Foods prepared using fat and oil (such as fried foods) should never be left unattended. Never try to use water to extinguish fat and oil which has ignited! Place a lid on the pan and turn off the burner.

■The glass ceramic surface is very tough and can easily withstand light to medium impact and loads distributed over large areas. Be sure to avoid concentrated loads (i.e. spice bottles) from falling onto the surface.

■If any cracks, fissures or breaks appear on the glass ceramic surface, switch the appliance off immediately. Call Customer Service.

■Keep all power cords away from hot burners.

■If there are storage cabinets above the cooking surface, please be aware that the area can heat up. Be careful!

■Always keep pressure cookers under constant observation until the correct pressure has been reached. First, set the burners to full flame then reduce the flame, and follow the instructions provided by the pressure cooker manufacturer.

■Caution! During a power failure, the electronic one-hand spark igni- tion device doesn’t work. Use matches to light the burner. But be careful! Lighting burners with a match can be hazardous!

■Do not cover the ventilation slits of the cook top.

■The maximum depth of cabinets installed above the cooking top is 330 mm (13 inches).
