SAFETY
Gas hob
GB6
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation during use
– Keep natural ventilation openings open.
– When using your hob for longer periods, extra ventilation is neces-
sary. For instance open a window or install a mechanical fan.
Use the hob only for preparing dishes
– The appliance is not suitable for heating spaces.
Never flambé underneath an extractor hood
– The high flames may cause a fire, even if the
fan is switched off.
Burner parts get very hot during use and take some time to cool
down
– Do not touch them and avoid contact with non-heat-resistant
materials.
– Never immerse hot burner parts and pan supports in cold water.
Rapid cooling may damage the enamel.
There should always be at least a 2 cm distance between the pan to a
knob or a non-heat-resistant wall.
– At shorter distances the high temperatures may cause the knobs or the
wall to discolour and/or distort.
Always use pan supports and suitable cooking utensils
– Always place the pan on the pan support. Placing a pan directly on
the burner head may lead to dangerous situations.
– Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils. They may
burn into the burners and pan supports.
Installing burner parts and pan supports
– The cooking hob can only function properly when the burner parts
have been assembled using guide ridges.
– Ensure that the pan supports lie properly against each other and flat
on the glass plate. Only then may the pans be positioned stably.
