It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should
you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with the
appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functions of the appliance and
the relevant warnings.
These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully
before installing or using the appliance.
• This appliance is designed to be operated by
adults, for non professional purpose in private
houses only. Children should not be allowed to
tamper with the controls or play with the product.
• Any installation and electrical work must be
undertaken by a qualified electrician or competent
person. The appliance must be installed
according to the instructions.
• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or
modify the product in any way.
• Ensure that the gas supply complies with the gas
type stated on the identification label, placed near
the gas supply pipe.
• Using a gas cooking appliance will produce heat
and moisture in the room which it has been
installed in. Ensure a continuous air supply,
keeping the air vents in good conditions or
installing a cooker hood with discharge tube.
• In case of intensive or long time use of the
appliance, make the ventilation more efficient,
by opening a window or increasing the electric
exhaust fan power.
• Do not use this appliance if it is in contact with
water. Do not operate the appliance with wet
hands.
• Always ensure that the control knobs are in the
'OFF' position when not in use.
• Hobs became very hot with use and retain their
heat for a long period of time after use. You must
therefore take great care when using the
appliance. Children should be supervised at all
times and should not be allowed to touch the hot
surface or be in the vicinity when in use or until
the appliance has cooled after use. Children also
can injure themselves by pulling pans or pots off
the hob.
• The cooking zones heat up quickly when they are
turned on. Turn them on only when you have
placed a saucepan onto the cooking area.
• If you use an electric socket close to the hob, take
care when using an electrical appliance that the
cable does not touch the hot surface of the hob.
• Do not leave items on the hob surface. Any item
you place on the hob could be damaged if the hob
is accidentaly turned on.
• Unstable or misshapen pans should not be used
on the hob as unstable pans can cause an
accident by tipping or spillage.
• Never leave the hob unattended when working
with oil and fats because of the danger of fire.
• Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the
hob surface.
• Always remove any spillage from the surface of
the hob immediately. Do not allow spills to dry and
harden.
• If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
heated area of the hob, the handle may become
hot. Please, ensure that you protect your hands
before touching the handle.
• Certain food, plastic items and areosols can be
affected by heat and should NOT be stored above
or below the hob unit.
• Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out
by inexperienced persons may cause injury or
more serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local
Zanussi Service Centre. Always insist on genuine
Zanussi spare parts.
