tricity to the appliance.
1.3 Safe use
WARNING
ALL APPLIANCES
▶Proper installation – Be sure your appliance is prop-
erly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
▶Never use your appliance for warming or heating the
room.
▶Do not leave children alone – Children should not be
left alone or unattended in area where an appliance is
in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
▶Wear proper apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging gar-
ments should never be worn while using the appliance.
▶User servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be referred to an au-
thorized service provider.
▶Storage in or on appliance – Flammable materials
should not be stored in or near the appliance. To elimi-
nate risk of burns or fire caused by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage located above the
surface units should be avoided.
▶Do not use water on grease fires – Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
▶Use only dry potholders – Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not
let a potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth.
WARNING
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
▶Use proper pan size – This appliance may be
equipped with surface burners of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will ex-
pose a portion of the burner to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of uten-
sil to burner will also improve efficiency.
The flame size should not extend beyond the edge of
the cooking utensil. This instruction is based on safety
considerations.
▶Never leave surface burners unattended at high
heat settings – Boil-over causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
▶If applicable, make sure drip trays are in place – Ab-
sence of these trays during cooking may subject wiring
or components underneath to damage.
▶Protective liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line
oven bottoms. Improper installation of these liners may
result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range-top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
▶Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface units – To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is
turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent sur-
face units.
▶Clean the cooktop with caution – If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can pro-
duce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
▶Do not soak removable heating elements – Heating
elements should never be immersed in water.
WARNING
DEEP FAT FRYERS
▶Use extreme caution when moving a grease kettle or
disposing of hot grease.

UNITS. Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns.
▶During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing,
potholders, or other flammable materials contact sur-
face units or areas near units until they have had suffi-
cient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop
and areas facing the cooktop.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an
oven become hot enough to cause burns.
▶During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing,
potholders, or other flammable materials contact heat-
ing elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appli-
ance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among

1.8 State of California Proposition 65
Warnings
This product may contain a chemical known to the State
of California, which can cause cancer or reproductive
harm. Therefore, the packaging of your product may bear
the following label as required by California:
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe
Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substance known
to the state to cause cancer, birth defect or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances. The
burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil
during self-cleaning can generate small amounts of
carbon monoxide. The fiberglass insulation in self clean
ovens gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde
during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists
formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon
monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.
Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
¡Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
¡Providing good ventilation during and immediately after
self-cleaning the oven.
¡Operating the unit according to the instructions in this
manual.

Environmental protection and energy-saving
3.1 Disposal of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible
and can be recycled.
▶Sort the individual components by type and dispose of
them separately.
3.2 Saving energy when using the oven
If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less en-
ergy.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom-
mended settings tell you to do so.
aNot preheating the appliance can reduce the energy
used.
Use dark-colored, black-coated or enameled baking pans.
aThese types of baking pans absorb the heat particularly
well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during opera-
tion.
aThis will maintain the temperature in the oven cavity
and eliminate the need for the appliance to reheat.
When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or at
the same time.
aThe oven cavity is heated after baking the first dish.
This reduces the baking time for the second dish.
If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the
appliance off 10minutes before the cooking time ends.
aThere will be enough residual heat to finish cooking the
dish.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from the
oven cavity.
aAn extra pan without food affects the browning and
cooking.

en-us Environmental protection and energy-saving
10
Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.
aThis will save the energy that would otherwise be re-
quired to defrost it.
3.3 Saving energy when using the cooktop
If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less en-
ergy.
Select a cookware diameter that matches the burner.
Center the cookware on the burner.
Select cookware with a base diameter that matches the
cooking zone. Center the cookware on the cooking zone.
Tip:Cookware manufacturers usually state the top diame-
ter of the cookware. The diameter of the cookware base is
usually smaller.
aThe energy is targeted at the cookware.
If you use cookware that is too small, energy is wasted.
If the cookware is too large, much energy is used to
heat up the cookware.
Close cookware with a fitting lid.
aCooking without a lid consumes more energy.
Only lift the lid when necessary.
aIf you lift the lid, a lot of energy can escape.
Use a glass lid.
aIf you use a glass lid, you can look inside the cookware
without lifting the lid.
Use cookware with a solid flat bottom.
aCurved cookware bases increase energy consumption.
Use a cookware size that matches the amount of food you
want to cook.
aCookware with little content consumes a lot of energy.
Cook with a small amount of water.
aMore water requires more energy to heat it up.
Select a lower power level as soon as possible. Select a
suitable power level to continue cooking.
aFor ongoing cooking a lower power level is sufficient.
