This appliance is designed for domestic cooking 
only. Use for any other purpose could invalidate 
any warranty or liability claim.

The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the 
production of heat and moisture in the room in 
which it is in stalled. Ensure that the kitchen is well 
ventilated: keep nat u ral ven ti la tion holes open or 
install a mechanical ventilation device, (mechanical 
extractor hood). 

Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call 
for additional ventilation, for ex am ple opening a 
window, or more eff ective ventilation, for example 
in creas ing the lev el of mechanical ventilation where 
present.

The cooker should be serviced by a qualifi ed service 
engineer and only approved spare parts used. Have

control switch. Mark it for easy reference. Always 
allow the cooker to cool and then switch off  at 
the mains and before cleaning or carrying out any 
maintenance work, unless specifi ed otherwise in this 
guide.

All parts of the cooker become hot with use and 
will retain heat even after you have stopped 
cooking.

Take care when touching cooker, to minimize the 
possibility of burns, always be certain that the

to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid 
steam burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious 
fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Do not use unstable saucepans and position the 
handles away from the edge of the hotplate.
