capabilities, or persons whose experience in operating similar
appliances is limited to operate the cooktop, unless if attended by

of the hob.
• Leave sufficient space around the socket to ensure the power plug is
accessible easily after installation.

grate is 10 kg. Do not place a single pan over two burners at the same
time.

possess appropriate training and qualifications.
• Do not set the burner knobs open before you have stricken the match
