WARNING!

Safety instruction: Failure to observe this instruction can cause fatal or serious injury.

NOTICE!

Failure to observe this instruction can cause material damage and impair the function of the product.

NOTE

Supplementary information for operating the product.

2 General safety instructions

The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage in the following cases:

• Faulty assembly or connection
• Damage to the product resulting from mechanical influences and excess voltage
• Alterations to the product without express permission from the manufacturer
• Use for purposes other than those described in the operating manual

2.1 General safety

WARNING!

• Only use category I_3 liquid gas (propane/butane). Do not use any other fuel sources.
• Keep a suitable fire extinguisher in the immediate vicinity. Ensure that the fire extinguisher is regularly checked by a specialist.
• This device can be used by children aged 8 years or over, as well as by persons with diminished physical, sensory or mental capacities or a lack of experience and/or knowledge, providing they are supervised or have been taught how to use the device safely and are aware of the resulting risks.

NOTICE!

• Use the hob only as intended.

2.2 Safety precautions when handling liquid gas

WARNING!

• Keep combustible materials away from heating or cooking devices and other light or heat sources.
  • Danger of suffocation!

Ensure that the surrounding area is sufficiently ventilated before switching on the device. During operation, air vents with a free cross-section of at least 150 cm^2 must be present in the installation space. These vents can be closed, but must be kept open when the device is in use (see sign located above the hob).

• Compare the pressure information on the type plate with the pressure information on the propane or butane gas bottle.
  • Never store liquid gas bottles in unventilated areas.

• Keep liquid gas bottles away from direct sunlight. The temperature may not exceed 50 °C.
  • If you smell gas:

• Open all windows and leave the room.

• Do not touch any electrical devices or switches and do not use naked flames (risk of gas ignition).
• Close the valve on the gas bottle and keep it closed until the error is rectified.
• Never attempt to find a gas leak with a naked flame.

- The hob must not be operated in garages, on ferries or when refuelling.

2.3 Operating the device safely

WARNING!

- Use long matches or a suitable lighter. The complete ignition process must be visible from above and must not be hidden by pots placed on top of the hob.

Remove your hand quickly as soon as the burner is lit.

- Wear suitable clothing when using the hob.

Do not wear loose, hanging clothing which may catch fire.

NOTICE!

- Let the hob cool down to room temperature before touching it with bare hands.

• Keep the area around the hob free from fat, alcoholic substances, plastic and flammable materials (e.g. curtains, cloths or kitchen materials).
• Only use pots and pans with an even base and a diameter not larger than the grids on the hob. Pots and pans must be large enough to cover the flame, otherwise items of clothing could catch fire.

Pots and pans of the correct size also improve the efficiency of the hob.

• Ensure that pots and pans are stable when cooking. Use the pot holder provided to ensure that pots and pans stand firmly.
• Never allow pot or pan handles to protrude over the edge of the hob. Turn the handles inwards, making sure that they are not positioned over other burners. This reduces the danger of spillage, the ignition of flammable materials and serious scalding injuries.
• Proceed with caution when heating oil or fat, as they can ignite under excessive heat.
• Only use dry pot holders to avoid steam build-up. Do not use towels or cloths as these can catch fire.
• Never leave the hob unattended during operation. Pots which boil over can cause smoke and fires.
• Set the control knob (fig. 1 1, page 3) to the zero setting before removing the pot or pan.
  • Do not use the hob to heat the room.

7 Installing the hob

The hob can be installed in your kitchen worktop.

7.1 Selecting the installation location

When selecting the installation location, observe the following instructions:

• Select a well-ventilated location for the device.

• Ensure the following minimum clearances (fig. 2, page 3):

• 150 mm to the side walls

• 170 mm to the back wall
• 500 mm between the burner and horizontal surface above the hob
• 10 mm between the bottom of the hob and the surface base.

- Ensure that there are no draughts in the installation location.

If the hob is installed in an open cockpit or other exposed location, then also install an additional wind guard.

- Do not operate the device in rooms that are potentially explosive.

• If gimbals (accessories) are used, ensure that the stove can swing freely.

- Ensure you have ample room to swing the gimballed range (accessories).

7.2 Installing the hob

NOTICE! Risk of damage!

Before drilling any holes, make sure that no electrical cables or other parts of the vehicle can be damaged by drilling, sawing and filing.

If you don't use gimbals, mount the stove as follows:

▶Fasten the hob in place using four screws.

Mount the gimbals (accessories) as follows (fig. 5, page 5):

▶ Fasten the gimbal sideplates (1) to the lower body of the stove (3) using the enclosed nuts and bolts.

NOTE

The gimbal arms (2) can be turned to enable the stove (3) to be lowered forwards or backwards.

Before mounting the gimbal arms (2), make a test by attaching them to the gimbal sideplates (1) in order to determine which alternative is right for your boat. Ensure the installation is done according to fig. 5, page 5.
▶ Place the fibre washers (4) with round holes on the gimbal arms (2).
▶ Lift the stove into position.
▶ Place the fibre washers (5) with oblong holes on the gimbal sidearms (2).
▶Fasten the screws (6).
▶Adjust the tension of the screws to the desired friction.

7.3 Connecting the hob to the gas supply

WARNING! Risk of injury!

Only use propane or butane gas bottles with an approved pressure reduction valve and suitable top part. Compare the pressure information on the type plate with the pressure information on the propane or butane gas bottle.

Observe the following instructions during connection:

• Use gas lines made from steel ( 8 × 1 mm – welded, seamless or stainless steel), that are flush-mounted with a cutting ring screw assembly.
• Fasten the pipes on the side or rear wall of the surrounding furniture parts so that no loads are exerted on the actuators.
• The connection must only be able to be released using tools. Observe the technical regulations on DVGW worksheets G607 and G608.
  • The entire pipe system must be free of stress.
• Keep the hose connection between the gas appliance and the liquid gas supply system as short as possible, and no longer than 750 mm.

• The entire hose connection must be accessible for inspection purposes.

• If mounted with gimbals (accessories): In particular, ensure that the hose does not affect the functionality of the gimbal (no stress or kinks in all operating conditions).

• During operation, air vents with a free cross-section of at least 150 ~cm^2 must be present in the installation space. These vents can be closed, but must be kept open when the device is in use.

▶Connect the hob to the gas supply.

▶Attach a sign above the hob with the following text:

"WARNING!

When cooking, it is necessary to provide additional ventilation, e.g. by opening windows in the vicinity of the grill, hob or oven.

These devices must not be used for heating the room."

▶Make sure that the hose line:

– Is not crushed or kinked.
– Is a safe distance from the burner.

▶Open the valve on the gas bottle.

WARNING! Risk of injury!

Never check for leaks with a naked flame or near sources of ignition.

▶Check all connections with leak spray.

There are no leaks if no bubbles form.

8 Using the hob
