IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 cooktop may
become damaged or catch fire.
▶
Only operate the gas burners with cookware on them.
During simultaneous use of multiple gas burners, a great
deal of heat is created. A ventilation device located above
it can become damaged or catch fire.
Never use two gas burners together at maximum heat
▶
for longer than 15 minutes.
One large burner with over 17,000 BTU/hr (5 kW) (wok)
▶
is equal to the wattage of two gas burners.
Operating several gas burners at the same time gives rise
to a great deal of heat. The ventilation appliance may
become damaged or catch fire.
▶
The ventilation appliance must only be combined with
gas burners that do not exceed the maximum total
output of 61,000 BTU/hr (18 kW). If 41,000 BTU/hr
(12 kW) is exceeded, the local regulations concerning
room ventilation, room size, and combination with
ventilation devices in exhaust and recirculating
operation must be followed.
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

Never touch hot parts.
▶
Keep children away.
▶
Be sure the entire appliance (including the grease filters
and light bulbs, if applicable) has cooled and grease has
solidified before attempting to clean any part of the
appliance.
