~
Keep salty foods and liquids away
from the cooktop. Salt must be
promptly and thoroughly wiped away,
or it will corrode the appliance.
~
Place the burner grate gently on the
stovetop from above, to avoid
scratching.
~
The use of a gas cooktop will
generate heat and moisture in the
room. Make sure the room is
well-ventilated, whether by natural exits
or the installation of a mechanical
device, e.g., an exhaust hood.
~
Prolonged intensive use of the
appliance may require additional
ventilation of the room, e.g., by opening
a window, or by setting the exhaust
hood to a higher setting.
~
If the appliance is plugged into a
socket near the appliance, check to be
sure that the power cord does not
come into contact with the hot
appliance. This can damage the
insulation on the cord. Danger of
electric shock!
~
Always cook food throughly.
Temperatures must be high enough,
and the cooking times long enough, to
kill any germs in the food.
~
If there is a drawer below the
appliance, do NOT store any spray
cans, flammable liquids, or flammable
materials in the drawer. Cutlery trays
must be made of heat-resistant
material.
~
NEVER use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance.
The steam can reach the electrical
components and cause the appliance
to short circuit.
~
If the appliance has been out of use
for a long period of time, be sure to
thoroughly clean it and have it
inspected by a qualified technician
before using it again.
~
Repair of the gas cooktop during the
warranty period should be performed
only by a service technician who is
authorized by the manufacturer;
otherwise, should damage result, it will
not be covered by the warranty.
The manufacturer will not be held
liable for damage caused by failure
to comply with the Safety information
and warnings.
