Warning: Gas Poisoning
When using the hob, make sure to open the windows or
turner on the exhaust fan of the range hood so as to keep
good ventilation around the gas hob. The gas hob may cause
carbon monoxide poisoning if you are using the gas hob in a
closed kitchen with no ventilation for an extended time.
Warning: Explosion
If you detect a gas leakage while operating the Gas hob,
you should turner off the indoor main gas valve immediately,
and then open windows and doors for ventilation. Do not
use matches or any lighters at this time. Creating a ame at
this time may ignite the residual gas in the room and, cause
an explosion. In the case of a leak, please contact our local
service center immediately.
Warning: Fire
Do not ignite the gas hob for heating when no pan is
placed on it or there is no food in the pan. This may cause
the extraction hood over the gas hob to be damaged by
overheating, or cause a re if the residual grease in the
extraction hood is ignited.
Warning: Risk of burning
Do not let unattended children use or stand next to the gas
hob while it is in use. Once the gas hob has been turned off,
it remains very hot and dangerous for several minutes. At
this time to avoid burn injury, avoid touching the hot burners,
supports and the faceplate around the burners with your
hands or other part of your body.
When using the gas hob, please protect it from external air,
which may cause uneven heating or even extinguish the
ame.
When cooking food with vegetable oil and animal fats, you
should be careful to avoid res caused by overheating oil in
the pan.
