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

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.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
Grease deposits in the grease filter can ignite.
Clean the grease filter at least every two months.
