TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE:
•
Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

settings.
•
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat
or when cooking flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
•
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
•
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.

Parts inside the appliance can have sharp edges.
The connection cable can be damaged. Do not
bend or pinch connection cables during installation.
Before connecting the appliance, check the household
electrical supply. Ensure sufficient fuse protection of the
household electrical supply. The voltage and frequency of
the appliance must match the electrical installation (see
rating plate).
The appliance complies with protection class 1 and must
only be operated in conjunction with a protective conduc-
tor terminal.
An all-pole isolating switch with at least a 3 mm contact
gap must be fitted in the installation. This must remain
accessible after installation.
Only a qualified electrician who takes the appropriate
regulations into account may lay or replace the
connecting cable. Follow all standards, regulations and laws.
Ensure that the electrical connection meets the require-
ments of the latest version of all applicable standards,
regulations and laws in the appropriate country, especially
the following standards:
