The use of a gas appliance produces heat
and humidity in the room. Ensure that the
room is well ventilated, or install an
extractor hood with exhaust duct.
Prolonged use of the cooktop may
necessitate extra ventilation (opening a
window or increasing the extraction speed of
the hood).
Keep children away from the cooktop when

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The cooktop is equipped with burners and/or a hotplate with
different diameters. Use pots and pans with a bottom
diameter equal to that of the burners and hotplate, or slightly
larger.
Use flat bottomed pots and pans only.
The pans must not interfere with the control panel.
If possible, keep the container covered when cooking.
Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with a small amount of water
in order to cut down cooking time.
A pressure cooker allows you to save even more energy and
time.
