WARNING
Risk of fire
When gas burners are in operation without any
cookware placed on them, they can build up a lot of
heat. A ventilation appliance installed above the cooker
may become damaged or catch fire. Only operate the
gas burners with cookware on them.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Hot oil and fat catch fire fast. Never leave hot oil and fat
unsupervised. Never extinguish a fire with water. Switch
off the cooking position. Suffocate flames carefully with
a lid, a fire blanket or similar.
