To Use
The appliance is intended solely for use in the household and must not be put to any other uses.
Use the appliance to prepare meals only. It must not be used to heat up the room in which it is installed.
Use of a gas cooktop generates heat and humidity in the room where it is installed. This is why attention must be paid to good kitchen ventilation.
The natural ventilation openings must be kept unobstructed. Prolonged use of the appliance with several or all rings may call for additional ventilation such as opening a window or a door, or stronger air extraction by an extractor hood.
To guarantee good combustion, the room in which the appliance is installed must have
a minimum volume of 1240 cft (35 m3) and must possess a door that opens outdoors or a window that can be opened.
Keep the ventilation openings at the back of the appliance free at all times.
Only ever use the burners after placing pots and pans on them. Do not heat up any empty pots or pans.
It is not permitted to use roasting pans, frying pans or grill stones heated simultaneously by several burners because the resulting heat
Pots with a diameter of less than 90 mm (3 1/2 ´´) or more than 280 mm (11 ´´) / 320 mm (12 1/2 ´´) for the large (WOK) burner should not be used. When using large pots, pay attention to keeping to a minimum distance of 50 mm (2 ´´) between the cooking vessel and combustible surroundings.
A minimum distance of 50 mm (2 ´´) must be observed between the control knob / control panel and the pot or pan. The pot or pan should not touch the control panel.
Switch the burners to the low setting whenever you remove pots or pans briefly. In this way, you reduce the risk of burns when working next to open flames; you also save gas and reduce pollution.
Whenever the gas hob is fitted under an extractor hood, always cover the rings with pots or pans. Otherwise, parts of the extractor hood may become damaged by the extreme heat development or grease residues in the filter may ignite.
Ensure an adequate supply of air when using an extractor hood operating in the extraction mode!
The appliance cannot be used during a power failure.
