Miele KM 2357 Cooktop User Manual


 
~
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which
may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered
by the guarantee.
Correct use
~
The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for quite a
while after it has been switched off. Do not touch it whilst it could still
be hot.
~
If a cooker hood is installed above the gas hob, ensure that the
burners are always covered with a pan when in use. Otherwise
flames could reach the cooker hood, parts of which could then be
damaged or set on fire.
~
Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used. Oil
and fat are potential fire hazards as they can ignite if overheated.
~
If oil or fat does catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames
with water. Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or
similar to smother the flames.
~
Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire.
The life of the appliance could also be reduced.
~
Do not flambé under a cooker hood. The flames could set the
cooker hood on fire.
~
Always use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when working
with a hot appliance. Ensure that they do not come into contact with
the flames. Do not use large cloths, tea towels or similar as the ends
could touch the flames and catch fire. Take care not to let the gloves
get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material
more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.
