accessories in the instruction manual.
Close the safety valve on the gas supply

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS!
Escaping gas may cause an explosion.
If you smell gas or notice any faults in the
gas installation:
■
Immediately shut off the gas supply or
close the gas cylinder valve.
■
Immediately extinguish all naked flames
and cigarettes.
■
Do not use any light or appliance switches
and do not pull any plugs out of sockets.
Do not use any telephones or mobile
phones within the building.
■
Open windows and ventilate the room.
■
Call the after­sales service or the gas
supplier.
Risk of asphyxiation!
The use of a gas cooker leads to a build-up
of heat, moisture and products of
combustion in the room where the
appliance is installed. Ensure that the
installation room is well ventilated. The
natural ventilation openings must be kept
open or a mechanical ventilation device
must be provided (e.g. an extractor hood).
Intensive and persistent use of the
appliance may mean that it is necessary to
have additional ventilation (e.g. opening a
window), or more effective ventilation (e.g.
operating the existing mechanical
ventilation device at a higher setting).
Risk of fire!
■
A draught is created when the appliance
door is opened. Greaseproof paper may
come into contact with the heating
element and catch fire. Do not place
greaseproof paper loosely over
accessories during preheating. Always
weight down the greaseproof paper with a
dish or a baking tin. Only cover the
surface required with greaseproof paper.
Greaseproof paper must not protrude over
the accessories.
Risk of fire! ■
Combustible objects that are left in the
cooking compartment may ignite. Never
store combustible items in the cooking
compartment. Never open the appliance
door if there is smoke inside. Switch off
the appliance and unplug the mains plug
or switch off the fuse in the fuse box. Shut
off the gas supply.
Risk of fire!
