  The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood). Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for exampleopening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

WARNING ‒ Risk of explosion!
Escaping gas may cause an explosion. WHATTO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS OR IF THERE ARE FAULTS IN THE GAS INSTALLATION

• Immediately shut off the gas supply or close the gas cylinder valve.
• Immediately extinguish all naked flames and cigarettes.
