Safety with children
~Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
~Older children may use the
appliance only when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and
they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
~The appliance gets hot when in use
and remains hot for quite a while after
being switched off. To safeguard
against burning, keep children well
away from the appliance at all times.
~Do not store anything which might
arouse a child's interest in storage
areas above or next to the appliance.
Otherwise they could be tempted into
climbing onto the appliance with the

~Keep all pans out of reach of
children. Turn pan handles inwards
away from the edge of the cooktop to
avoid burning or scalding. Special
cooktop guards are available from
good retail outlets.

and young children. Danger of
suffocation! Dispose of or recycle all
packaging safely as soon as possible.
Technical safety
~Before installation, check the
appliance for visible signs of damage.
Do not install and use a damaged
appliance. A damaged appliance is
dangerous.
~The electrical safety of this

the household wiring system should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that the
voltage and frequency details given on

may only be used when it has been
built in.

qualified and competent person in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations. If the
appliance is supplied without a plug, or
if the plug is removed, it must be

supply by a suitably qualified and
competent electrician in strict
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations. The

held liable for unauthorised work.

disconnected from the gas supply and
mains electricity before repairs and
maintenance work is carried out. It is

countries where this is applicable),
–it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn from the
