CAUTION

- The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat, moisture and products of combustion in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially when the appliance is in use: keep natural ventilation holes open

or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood). Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

Fire Safety Advice

If you do have a fire in the kitchen, don't take any risks - get everyone out of your home and call the Fire Service.

If you have an electrical fire in the kitchen:

• Pull the plug out, or switch off the power at the fuse box - this may be enough to stop the fire immediately.
• Smother the fire with a fire blanket, or use a dry powder or carbon dioxide extinguisher.
• Remember: never use water on an electrical or cooking oil fire.

Other Safety Advice

• Servicing should be carried out only by authorised personnel.
