Before Using Your New Hob
Before using your new hob, please:
• Read this manual fully, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
• Plug the hob into the electricity supply and turn it on so that the ignition circuit will work.
• This appliance is for cooking purposes only. It must not be used for other purposes,
for example room heating.
• The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat, moisture and products
of combustion in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated
especially when the appliance is in use: 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, e.g. opening of a window, or more effective
ventilation, e.g. increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
