~
Do not use the appliance as a resting place for anything else. The
article could melt or catch fire if residual heat is still present or if the
appliance is switched on by mistake.
~
Do not cover the appliance, e.g. with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This
could be a fire hazard if residual heat is still present or the appliance
is switched on by mistake.
~
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high
temperatures and could catch fire.
~
Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob as pressure will
build up in the tin, causing it to explode. This could result in injury
and scalding or damage.
~
Make sure all the components of the gas burners have been
correctly assembled before switching on.
~
Pans must be the correct size for the burner they are used on
(see "Suitable pans"). A pan which is too small will be unstable on
the pan support. If the pan diameter is too large, flames can spread
out to the sides and damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings or
surrounding units and also parts of the hob. Miele cannot be held
liable for this type of damage.
~
Ensure that the flames from the burner do not spread out beyond
the base and up the sides of the pan.
~
Unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so, do not
use pans with very thin bases on this hob, and never heat up empty
pans as they could get damaged. This could also damage the
appliance.
~
The pan support supplied must always be used. Pans must not
be placed directly on the burner.
~
Do not store any inflammable objects near the gas hob.
