BUILT-IN GAS HOB
-
-
The use of a gas appliance produces heat and humidity in the room. Make sure the room is well-ventilated, or install an
extractor hood with exhaust duct.
In case of prolonged use, additional ventilation may be necessary (by opening a window or increasing the hood
extraction speed).
After use, make sure the knobs are in off position and close the main gas supply cock or the gas cylinder valve.
Overheated oils and fats catch fire easily. Always remain vigilant when cooking foods rich in fat, oil or alcohol (e.g. rum,
cognac, wine).
