Caution:This appliance is for cooking
purposes only. It must not be used for other
purposes, for example room heating.
This appliance is intended for use up to a
maximum height of 2000 metres above sea
level.
Caution:The use of a gas cooking
appliance results in the production of heat,
moisture and products of combustion in the
room in which it is installed. Ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated especially when
the appliance is in use: keep natural
ventilation holes open or install a
mechanical ventilation device (mechanical
extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance
may call for additional ventilation, for
example opening of a window, or more
effective ventilation, for example increasing
the level of mechanical ventilation where
present.
This appliance is not intended for operation
with an external timer or a remote control.
Do not use inappropriate child safety
shields or hob guards. These can cause
accidents.
This appliance may be used by children
over the age of 8 years old and by persons

Causes of damage
Hob
Caution!
■Only use the burners when cookware has been placed on
top. Do not heat up empty pots or pans. The saucepan base
will be damaged.
■Only use pots and pans with an even base.
■Place the pot or pan centrally over the burner. This will
optimise transfer of the heat from the burner flame to the pot
or ban base. The handle does not become damaged, and
greater energy savings are guaranteed.
■Ensure that the gas burners are clean and dry. The burner
cup and burner cap must be positioned exactly.
■Ensure that the top cover is not closed when the oven is
started up.
Damage to the oven
Caution!
■Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the
cooking compartment floor: do not place accessories on the
cooking compartment floor. Do not cover the cooking
compartment floor with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper.
Do not place ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a
temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will cause heat
to accumulate. The baking and roasting times will no longer
be correct and the enamel will be damaged.
■Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour water into
the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will cause
steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the
enamel.
■Moist food: do not store moist food in the cooking
compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods This will
damage the enamel.
■Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not
pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping from
the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If
possible, use the deeper universal pan.
■Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the cooking
compartment to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance
door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could
be damaged over time.
■Very dirty door seal: If the door seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly when the
appliance is in use. The fronts of adjacent units could be
damaged.Always keep the door seal clean.
■Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not sit on the
appliance door, or place or hang anything on it. Do not place
any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
■Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance model,
accessories can scratch the door panel when closing the
appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the
cooking compartment as far as they will go.
■Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the appliance by
the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight
of the appliance and could break.
