Important safety instructions
Warning:
When using your cooktop unit, follow basic safety precautions including the following:
This appliance complies with all rele- vant legal safety requirements. Im- proper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both per- sonal injury and material damage. Before installating and using the ap- pliance for the first time, read the operating instructions carefully. They give information on safety, on the operation and care of the ap- pliance. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance.
This appliance is intended for do- mestic use.
Should it be installed for commercial use, the relevant regulations must be observed.
Do not use the unit unless all parts are properly in place according to the
installation and operating instructions.
Ensure that the gas pipe and elec- trical cable are installed in such a way that they do not touch any parts of the appliance which become hot. This
could cause damage.
The electrical safety of this ap- pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system.
It is imperative that this basic safety re- quirement be tested and where there is any doubt, the electrical system of the house should be checked out by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by the lack or inadequacy of an effective earthing system.
Installation work and repairs may only be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by an exten- sion cord. Extension cords do not guaran-
tee the required safety of the appliance.
Gas burners should only be used in rooms with adequate ventilation.
Ensure that the bench top area around the cooktop is clear of obstacles to allow sufficient ventilation.
The appliance is only completely isolated from the elecrical supply
when it is switched off at the wall socket, or the mains fuse is withdrawn. Do not pull by the mains cable, but by the plug when withdrawing the plug from the socket.
Important notes for the installer
Please ensure that the domestic electrical supply corresponds to
the information on the data plate. You should find out details about the type of gas and calorific value from your Gas Board and compare this infor- mation with the type of gas quoted on the data plate.
They must correspond.
