Operating Guide (Electric Oven & Gas Cooktop)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Make sure that the burner flames do not extend beyond the
bottom of the cookware and rise up its sides.
 Only use cookware with a thick enough bottom. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the cooktop.
 Always use the burner grates supplied with the cooktop. Never
place cookware directly on the burner.
 Install the burner grates in an upright position to avoid scratching
the cooktop.
 Remove all grease splatters and other flammable (food) residues
on the cooktop. They are a fire hazard.
 Using of a gas cooktop causes heat, moisture and products of
combustion to build up in the room in which it is installed. Make sure
that your kitchen is well ventilated, especially when the appliance is
in use: keep any natural means of ventilation open or install a
mechanical ventilation system (e.g. a ventilation hood).
 If the cooktop is used for very long periods of time, additional
ventilation of the room may be necessary, e.g. by opening windows
or doors, or running the ventilation on the highest setting.
 Do not use pots or pans that are large enough to cover several
burners. The resulting heat buildup can damage the appliance.
 If the cooktop has not been used for a long period of time, be sure
to thoroughly clean it and have it inspected by an authorized
technician before using it again.
 When you have finished cooking, make sure that the burners and
oven are turned off by checking the position of the knobs.
 Only certain types of glass, ceramic or other enamel cookware
can be used on a gas cooktop without breaking as a result of
sudden temperature changes.
 Do not use cooking utensils on the grill.
