Correct usage
Do not operate the cooktop until it
is properly installed in the
countertop.
This appliance is intended for resi-
dential cooking only.
Use the appliance only for its in-
tended purpose. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for dam-
ages caused by improper use of the
cooktop.
To prevent fires, ensure that cur-
tains or any other window covering
do not blow over or near the burners.
For safety reasons never use the
cooktop to warm or heat the room.
Install the cooktop in a room that
has sufficient ventilation.
This appliance must not be set up
or operated outdoors.
Do not use aluminium foil to line
any part of the cooktop.
For proper lighting and perfor-
mance of the burners, keep the
ignitors clean and dry.
Make sure all the components of
the gas burners are assembled
correctly before using the cooktop.
Ensure that any burners in use are
always covered with a pan.
Do not use pans that extend past
the burner grate. Using larger pans
may cause the flames to spread out
and damage the surrounding
countertop or other countertop appli-
ances. The proper pansize will also im-
prove efficiency.
For safety and stability, do not use
pans with a bottom diameter
smaller than the burner grate.
Do not store aerosols, gasoline,
combustibles or any other flamma-
ble materials underneath or adjacent to
the cooktop.
Only certain types of glass/ce-
ramic, earthware, or other glazed
cookware are suitable for use on a
cooktop without breaking due to a sud-
den temperature change.
