Miele KM 3474 Cooktop User Manual


 
Personal safety
The burners become very hot
when in use. Make sure that no one
comes in contact with them.
Do not leave children unattended
in an area where the appliance is in
use.
Do not store toys or items of
interest to children in cabinets
above or behind the cooktop. Children
climbing onto the cooktop to reach
these items may become seriously
injured.
Do not allow children to operate or
play with the cooktop. Keep all
pans out of the reach of children.
Use only dry, heat resistant
potholders. Moist or damp
potholders used on hot surfaces can
result in steam burns. Do not let the
potholder touch the hot burners. Do not
use towels or other bulky items near the
appliance.
Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
garments when operating the
cooktop, they may present a fire
hazard.
Do not heat unopened food
containers. Built-up pressure may
cause the container to burst and result
in injury.
Do not store items on the cooktop
when not in use.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate
on the appliance.
Do not leave the cooktop
unattended while in use. Boil-overs
cause smoking, and greasy spill-overs
may ignite.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother any fire or flame, or use a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Do not flambé under an exhaust
hood. Flames could be drawn up
into the hood by the suction or the
grease filters may ignite.
For safety reasons the flame
should be adjusted to be the same
size as the bottom of the pan or smaller.
Do not use small pans with high flame
settings as the flames can climb the
sides of the pan.
Only use cooking utensils suitable
for cooktop use.
Always position pan handles and
utensils inward so they do not
extend over adjacent work areas,
burners or the edge of the cooktop.
If there is a drawer directly
underneath the appliance without a
wooden base in between, ensure that
no aerosols, combustible liquids or
other easily flammable materials are
kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be
placed in the drawer, these must be
made of a heat-resistant material.
