WARNING : Modification of the appliance and

its method of installation are essential in order to use the appliance safely and correctly in all the additional countries. Use pressure regulators suitable for the gas pressure indicated in the instructions. The room must be equipped with an air extraction system that expels any combustion fumes. The room must also allow proper air circulation, as air is needed for combustion to occur normally. The flow of air must not be less than 2 m³/h per kW of installed power. The air circulation system may take air directly from the outside by means of a pipe with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm²; the opening must not be susceptible to blockages. The system can also provide the air needed for combustion indirectly, i.e. from adjacent rooms fitted with air circulation tubes as described above. However, these rooms must not be communal rooms, bedrooms or rooms that may present a fire hazard. Liquid petroleum gas sinks to the floor as it is heavier than air. Therefore, rooms containing LPG cylinders must also be equipped with vents to allow gas to escape in the event of a leak. This means LPG cylinders, whether partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.). It is advisable to keep only the cylinder being used in the room, positioned so that it is not subject to heat produced by external sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc. ) which could raise the temperature of the cylinder above 50°C. Should you find it difficult to turn the knobs for the burner, please contact the After-sales Service, who can replace of the burner tap if found to be faulty. The openings use for the ventilation and dispersion of heat must never be covered. Do not remove the appliance from its polystyrene foam base until the time of installation.

Switching the appliance off Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.The coverIf the cooker is fitted with a glass cover, this cover should be cleaned using lukewarm water. Do not use abrasive products. It is possible to remove the cover in order to make cleaning the area behind the hob easier. Open the cover fully and pull it upwards (see figure).! Do not close the coverwhen the burners are alight or when they are still hot.• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fittinglids and use as little water as possible. Cooking withthe lid off will greatly increase energy consumption• Use purely flat pots and pans• If you are cooking something that takes a long time,it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice asfast and saves a third of the energy. Respecting and conserving the environment

• Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the ovenand always try to fill it. Open the oven door as littleas possible because heat is lost every time it isopened. To save a substantial amount of energy,simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before theend of your planned cooking time and use the heatthe oven continues to generate.• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any doorenergy losses• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the “delaycooking” option will make it easier to save money bymoving operation to cheaper time periods.• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted andpots that boil over leave encrusted remains that canbe difficult to remove.
