Warning and Safety instructions
~
Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
~
If the connection cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by a suitably
qualified electrician with a special
connection cable of type H 05 V V-F
(pvc insulated), available from Miele.
~
The hob is not intended for use with
an external timer switch or a remote
control system.
~
Do not connect the hob to the mains
electricity supply by a multi-socket
adapter or an extension lead. These do
not guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
~
Do not use the hob if it is faulty.
Switch it off immediately and
disconnect it from the mains electricity
supply and the gas supply. Call the
Service Department.
Correct use
~
The hob gets hot when in use and
remains hot for quite a while after being
switched off. Do not touch it whilst it
could still be hot.
~
If a cooker hood is installed above
the 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.
10
~
Do not leave the hob 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 hob 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.
~
Use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the hob. 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. Do not
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.
~
Do not flambé under a cooker hood.
The flames could set the cooker hood
on fire.
~
Do not use the hob as a resting
place for anything. When the appliance
is switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat
present, the article could melt or catch
fire.
~
Where several appliances are
installed side by side
Do not place hot pots or pans on the
cover strip as this can damage the
seal.
