Risk Of Burns; Risk Of Injury; Risk Of Electric Shock; Causes Of Damage - Gaggenau VG 232 Instrucciones De Uso

When gas hotplates are in operation without
▯
any cookware placed on them, they can
build up a lot of heat. The appliance and the
extractor hood above it may become
damaged or be set on fire. Grease residue in
the filter of the extractor hood may ignite.
Only operate the gas burners with cookware
on them.

Risk of burns!

The appliance becomes hot during
▯
operation. Allow the appliance to cool down
before cleaning.
Risk of burns!
The hotplates and surrounding area
▯
(particularly the hob surround, if fitted)
become very hot. Never touch the hot
surfaces. Keep children at a safe distance.
Risk of burns!
The accessible parts become very hot when
▯
in operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep
children at a safe distance.
Risk of burns!
When the appliance cover is closed, heat
▯
will accumulate. Only close the appliance
cover when the appliance has cooled down.
Never switch the appliance on with the
appliance cover closed. Do not rest food on
the appliance cover or use it to keep food
warm.
Risk of burns!
Empty cookware becomes extremely hot
▯
when set on a gas hotplate that is in
operation. Never heat up empty cookware.
Risk of burns!
If the liquefied gas bottle is not upright,
▯
liquefied propane/butane can enter the
appliance. Intense darting flames may
therefore escape from the burners.
Components may become damaged and
start to leak over time so that gas escapes
uncontrollably. Both can cause burns.
Always use liquefied gas bottles in an
upright position.
