SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: Ensure that the appliance is switched o󰀨 before
replacing the lamp to avoid the possibillity of electric shock.
Before opening the cover, cleaning it of any dirt is recom-
mended. The cooker hob surface should be cooled down
before closing the cover.
You should not use steam cleaning devices to clean the
appliance.
Do not cover the oven walls, bottom or trays with aluminium
foil because you will risk damaging or staining the enamel
paint. Aluminium foil may also inhibit heat dissipation, cau-
sing a re hazard.
Please pay attention to children whilst the cooker is in operation, as children do not know
the rules of cooker use. In particular, hot surface burners, the oven chamber, grates,
the door pane, and pans containing hot liquids standing on the hob may cause burns to
children.
Mind that electrical connection leads from other home appliances (e.g. of a food mixer)
do not touch hot parts of the cooker.
 Do not place ammable material into the drawer whilst using the oven, as it may catch a
re.

 Do not put out a burner ame by blowing.
 A glass cover may crack when heated. Switch o󰀨 all the burners before lowering the cover.
(Cookers with a glass cover).
 Do not make your own alterations to the cooker in order to adapt it to a di󰀨erent type
of gas, move the cooker to another place or make changes to the power supply. These
operations may only be carried out by an authorised electrician or tter.
Do not use harsh cleaning agents or sharp metal objects to clean the door as they can
scratch the surface, which could then result in the glass cracking.
Keep young children and people not acquainted with the instruction manual away from
the cooker.
 IN CASE OF ANY SUSPICION OF GAS LEAKAGE YOU MUST NOT:
light matches, smoke cigarettes, switch electrical receivers (door bell or light switch) on
and o󰀨, or use other electric and mechanical devices that create electrical or percussive
sparks. In such a case, immediately close the cylinder valve or tap cutting o󰀨 gas supply,
air the room, and then call a person authorised to repair the source of the leakage.
In the event of any incident caused by a technical fault, disconnect the power (applying
the above rule) and report the fault to the service centre to be repaired.
Do not attach any antenna cords (e.g. radio) to the gas supply.
 In a case of gas escaping from leaky piping and catching re, close gas supply immediately
using a cutting-o󰀨 valve.
 In a case of gas escaping from a leaky cylinder and catching re: throw a wet blanket over
the cylinder to cool it down and turn o󰀨 the cylinder valve. After it has cooled down, take
the cylinder out to an open space. Do not use the damaged cylinder.
When the cooker is not to be used for several days, close the main valve on the gas pip-
ing; when using a gas cylinder, close it after each use.
Using the appliance for cooking and baking results in the emission of heat and moisture in
the room in which it is installed. Make sure that kitchen is well ventilated. Natural ventila-
tion openings or forced mechanical ventilation (exhaust hood) should be available.
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may require additional ventilation, for example,
opening a window or a more e󰀨ective ventilation, such as increasing e󰀩ciency of mechani-
cal ventilation, if applicable.
The appliance has been designed only for cooking. Any other use (for example for heat-
ing) does not comply with its operating prole and may cause danger.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
VENTILATION
The use of a gas cooking appliance results
in the production of heat and moisture in the
room in which it is installed. Ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventila-
tion holes open or install a mechanical ven-
tilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance
may cali for additional ventilation, for exam-
ple, opening of a window, or more e󰀨ectiye
ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.
GAS & ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Please refer to installation instructions for the
Gas & Electrical Safety Regulations and the
Ventilation Requirements.
In your own interest, and that of safety, it is
the law that all gaś appliances be installed by
competent persons, who will ensure that the
installation is in accordance with „The Gas
Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1994”,
& the „The Gas Safety (Installation & Use)
(Amendment) Regulations 1996”. Failure to
comply with these Regulations is a criminal
offence. GAS SAFE registered installers
undertake to work to satisfactory standards.
Disconnection of gas and electric appliances
should always be carried out by competent
persons.
Warmng: This appliance must be earthed.
MOVING THE COOKER
Do not attempt to move the cooker by pulling
on the doors or handles. Open the door and
grasp the frame of the cooker, taking care that
the door does not shut on your ngers.

HOW TO SAVE ENERGY
Using energy in a respon-
sible way not only saves
money but also helps the
environment. So let’s save
energy! And this is how you
can do it:
Use proper pans for cooking.
A saucepan should never be smaller than a
burner crown.
Always remember to cover and pans.
Ensure burners, the grate the hob are
clean.
Soils can prevent heat transfer – and repeat-
edly burnt-on spillages can often only be
removed by products which cause damage
to the environment.
In particular, ensure that ame openings in
the rings under caps, and openings of burner
nozzles are clean.
Do not uncover the pan too often (a
watched pot never boils!).
Do not open the oven door unnecessarily
often.
Only use the oven when cooking larger
dishes.
Meat of up to 1 kg can be prepared more
economically in a pan on the cooker burner.
Make use of residual heat from the
oven.
If the cooking time is greater than 40 minutes
it is recommended to switch o󰀨 the oven 10
minutes before the end time.
Make sure the oven door is properly
closed.
Heat can leak through spillages on the door
seals. Clean up any spillages immediately.
Do not install the cooker in the direct
vicinity of refrigerators/freezers.
Otherwise energy consumption increases
unnecessarily.
