Miele KM 360 Cooktop User Manual


 
Personal safety
~
The burners become very hot when
in use. Make sure that no one comes in
contact with the burners.
~
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 leave children unattended in
an area where the appliance is in use.
~
Do not allow children to operate or
play with the cooktop. Keep all pans
out of reach.
~
Use only dry, heat resistant
potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces can result in
steam burns. Do not let potholders
touch the hot burners. Do not use
towels or other bulky items near the
appliance.
~
Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
garments while 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. Overheated
food can 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.
~
The flame should be the same size
as the bottom of the pan. 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.
~
Pan handles and utensils should be
turned inward and not extend over the
countertop to reduce the risk of burns
and the ignition of flammable materials
and spills.
~
If there is a drawer directly
underneath the appliance without any
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 heat-resistant material.
