tified.

Operating the device safely
!
WARNING!
• Use the integrated igniter (if available) or long matches or a suitable lighter. The com-
plete ignition process must be visible from above and must not be hidden by pots
placed on the stove.
Remove your hand quickly as soon as the burner ignites.
• Wear suitable clothing when operating the device.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing which might catch fire.
• Do not use the device to heat the room.
• Never operate the device
– at petrol stations
– on ferry boats
– while transporting the camper van, caravan or motor caravan with a transport vehi-
cle or tow truck
• Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this device while it is in operation.
!
CAUTION!
• Let the device cool down to ambient temperature before you touch it with bare
hands.
• Keep the area surrounding the device free of grease, fat, alcoholic substances, plas-
tics and flammable cloths (for example, curtains, towels, kitchen utensils).
• Only use pots and pans with an even base and a diameter no larger than the grids on
the device. The pots and pans must be large enough to cover the flame. If the flames
are not covered, items of clothing could catch fire.
• When cooking, ensure that pans and pots are firmly set down.
• Never allow pot handles to extend beyond the edge of the device. Turn pot handles
inward, but not extending over other burners. This will minimize the risk of spillage,
ignition of flammable materials and/or serious burns.
• Be careful when heating grease or oil. Grease and oil catch fire when exposed to
intense heat.
