Important safety instructions
Warning:
When using your cooktop unit,
follow basic safety precautions
including the following:
This appliance complies with all rele-
vant legal safety requirements. Im-
proper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both per-
sonal injury and material damage.
Before installating and using the ap-
pliance for the first time, read the
operating instructions carefully.
They give information on safety, on
the operation and care of the ap-
pliance. This way you will avoid the
risk of accidents and damage to the
appliance.
This appliance is intended for do-
mestic use.
Should it be installed for commercial
use, the relevant regulations must be
observed.
Do not use the unit unless all parts
are properly in place according to the
installation and operating instructions.
Ensure that the gas pipe and elec-
trical cable are installed in such a
way that they do not touch any parts of
the appliance which become hot. This
could cause damage.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system.
It is imperative that this basic safety re-
quirement be tested and where there is
any doubt, the electrical system of the
house should be checked out by a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for damage
caused by the lack or inadequacy of
an effective earthing system.
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous.
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electrical supply by an exten-
sion cord. Extension cords do not guaran-
tee the required safety of the appliance.
Gas burners should only be used
in rooms with adequate ventilation.
Ensure that the bench top area around
the cooktop is clear of obstacles to
allow sufficient ventilation.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the elecrical supply
when it is switched off at the wall
socket, or the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Do not pull by the mains cable, but by
the plug when withdrawing the plug
from the socket.
Important notes for the installer
Please ensure that the domestic
electrical supply corresponds to
the information on the data plate.
You should find out details about the
type of gas and calorific value from
your Gas Board and compare this infor-
mation with the type of gas quoted on
the data plate.
They must correspond.
