Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event
of transport damage, do not plug it in.
Fire Safety
Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low
or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat.
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.

with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not
route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange
cord away from traffic area and where it will not be
tripped over.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
‒SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,
cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If
the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE
AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
‒NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be
burned.
‒DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths
or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

WARNING
Risk of fire
When gas burners are in operation without any
cookware placed on them, they can build up a lot of
heat. A ventilation appliance installed above the
cooker may become damaged or catch fire. Only
operate the gas burners with cookware on them.
WARNING
Risk of fire
During simultaneous use of multiple gas cooktops, a
great deal of heat is created. A ventilation device
located above it can become damaged or catch fire.
Never use two gas cooktops together at maximum heat
for longer than 15 minutes. One large burner with over
17,000 Btu/hr (5 kW) (wok) is equal to the wattage of
two gas burners.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Operating several gas burners at the same time gives
rise to a great deal of heat. The ventilation appliance
may become damaged or catch fire. The ventilation
appliance must only be combined with gas burners
that do not exceed the maximum total output of 61,000
Btu/hr (18 kW). If 41,000 Btu/hr (12 kW) is exceeded,
the local regulations concerning room ventilation,
room size, and combination with ventilation devices in
exhaust and recirculating operation must be heeded.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Hot oil and fat catch fire fast. Never leave hot oil and
fat unsupervised. Never extinguish a fire with water.
Switch off the cooking position. Suffocate flames
carefully with a lid, a fire blanket or similar.
Burn Prevention
WARNING
Risk of burns
The accessible parts get hot during operation. Never
touch hot parts. Keep children away.

Safe operation is possible provided that the under
pressure in the room where the burner is installed
does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can flow
through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors,
windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or
by other technical measures, such as reciprocal
interlocking, etc.
WARNING
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning – Provide
adequate air intake so combustion gases are not
drawn back into the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no
guarantee that the limiting value will not be
exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the
combined ventilation system for the entire household
must be taken into consideration. This rule does not
apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as
cooktops and ovens.

than 6” (150 mm), the optimum extraction
performance is not achieved and fan noise is
increased.
▯The pipes or hoses for laying the exhaust air line
must consist of non-combustible material.
Round pipes
An inner diameter of 6” (150 mm), but at least 4 _”
(120 mm), is recommended.
