WARNING
This appliance must be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with the current
regulations in the country where the appliance is installed and must only be used in a well
ventilated area. Read the instructions before installing and using this appliance.
Appliance categories (see pt. 7, page 16 ”Height adjustment and Positioning the Cooker”):
- Class 1: Free-standing cooking appliance not normally in direct contact with the kitchen units or
the surrounding walls.
- Class 2: Cooking appliance that can be integrated between two kitchen units, whose walls can be
in direct contact with the surrounding units. This type of appliance can be in contact with only
one kitchen unit during installation.
- Class 2 / Sub-Class 1: Class 2 appliance that can be free-standing or installed so that the side
panels are accessible.
Before installing the appliance, make sure that the local gas supply conditions
(gas type and pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
The adjustment conditions for this appliance are indicated on the label at the
back of the cooktop and on the test certificate.
This appliance is not intended to be connected to a ventilation system or a ventilation shaft for
combustion products. It should be installed and connected in accordance with the current
regulations, and special attention should be paid to the applicable ventilation regulations.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room
where it is installed. Make sure that the room is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation
holes open and install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged or intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, e.g. by opening a
window, or for more effective ventilation, by increasing the power of the mechanical ventilation
system installed.
When you first use your cooker it may give off an odour.
This should stop after use.
The parts that are protected by the manufacturer must not be manipulated by the installer or the
user.
Please note:
The accessible parts may be hot when the oven is being used: keep young children
at a safe distance.
DO NOT leave children alone. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.

If you smell gas:
uDo not turn electric switches on or off.
uDo not smoke.
uDo not use naked flames.
uDo turn off the gas at the meter or cylinder.
uDo open doors and windows to get rid of the gas.
uCall your gas supplier.
The cooker should be serviced by a qualified service engineer and only approved spare parts
used. Have the installer show you the location of the cooker control switch. Mark it for easy
reference.
Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch off at the mains before cleaning or
carrying out any maintenance work, unless specified 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 the cooker, to minimize the possibility of burns, always be
certain that the controls are in the OFF position and that it is cool before attempting to clean the
cooker.
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful
to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
DO NOT use a steam cleaner to clean the cooker.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker while it is on.
Do not store or use combustible materials, or flammable liquids in the vicinity of this
appliance.
Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they will ignite if they get too hot. Use a
deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
Never leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry
pans should be only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over when
food is added. If you use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them together before heating
or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can
cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
Do not use the top of the flue (the slot along the back of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes,
drying tea towels or softening butter.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
The oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen, not only does this waste fuel but
the control knobs may become overheated.

When the oven is on DO NOT leave the oven door open for longer than necessary.
Before using the cooker make sure all the packing materials have been removed.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with
packaging material.
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from an oven vent may ignite
flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly
flammable.
Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.
Several types of plastic are combustible, and most of them can be damaged by heat. Remove any
objects made from paper, plastic or fabrics (such as cooking books, plastic cooking utensils, towels,
etc.) as well as flammable liquids from any parts of the cooker liable to get hot.
Preferably, there should be no cupboards or shelving above the appliance. In the event of cup-
boards/shelving being above the appliance, make sure that they hold objects seldom used, which
can be safely kept in a place exposed to the heat generated by the appliance.
NEVER COVER the slits, vents or holes in the bottom part of the appliance, and never cover the
grills with products such as aluminium foil; doing so would prevent air circulation inside the oven
and the aluminium foil could cause heat to build up leading to a risk of fire.
DO NOT use the oven for storage.
Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near the cooktop burners. This includes
paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plastic ware and towels, as well as flammable
liquids.
NEVER TOUCH THE BURNER or the surfaces around the burner.
Note also that the burner can remain hot for a certain time even after it has been turned off.
Surfaces located around the gas burner can become sufficiently hot to cause burns.
DO NOT touch the heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven.
Oven heating elements may be hot though they are dark in colour. Interior surfaces of an oven
may become hot enough to cause burns.
Likewise, make sure that there is no contact between clothing and other flammable products and
heating elements or internal surfaces.
Wear appropriate clothing.
Do not use loose-fitting clothing (sleeves, etc.) when operating the appliance.
If there are shelves or cupboards above the appliance, be careful when reaching for products they
might contain.

Flammable products can ignite on contact with a burner flame or a warm surface, leading to
serious burns.
Use only oven gloves or kitchen gloves that are dry.
Using wet gloves on warm surfaces can lead to burns caused by the vapour. Avoid all contact bet-
ween oven gloves and warm heating elements.
Never use a towel, thick cloth or similar instead of an insulating glove; they may catch fire on
contact with a hot surface.
Never operate the appliance using wet hands.
Make sure that your appliance has been correctly installed and grounded by a qualified techni-
cian.
USE THE RIGHT SIZE PAN.
This appliance is equipped with burners of different sizes. Use utensils with flat bottoms. Do not
use unstable pans and position the handles away from the edge of the cooktop. Make sure the fla-
mes are under the pans. It’s not safe to let the flames burn up the sides of the pan; the handle may
get too hot.
DO NOT use cooking vessels that may overlap the edges of the cooktop.
The bottom drawer is for storing oven trays and other cooking utensils. It can get very warm,
don’t store anything in it, which may melt or catch fire. Never store flammable materials in the
drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plastic ware and towels,
as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the applian-
ce.
Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.
The cooktop is not intended to be set on function with a timer or with a separate remote device.
