Correct Use - Miele DG 1450 Operating Instructions Manual

Correct use

~
For added protection, it is advisable
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance. Do
not let them get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the
material more quickly with the risk of
scalding or burning yourself.
~
If the oven is still hot, steam will
escape when the door is opened.
Stand back away from the appliance
and wait until the steam has dissipated.
~
When putting cooking containers or
the condensate tray into the oven or
taking them out, take care not to spill
the contents. Avoid contact with hot
steam, and do not touch the hot oven
interior walls. Danger of burning and
scalding.
~
If using plastic cooking containers,
make sure that they are heat- and
steam-resistant to 100 °C. Otherwise
they may melt, distort or break.
~
Do not use the appliance to heat up
food in sealed jars and tins. Pressure
will build up inside them and they can
explode causing damage to the
appliance, as well as the risk of injury
and scalding.
Warning and safety instructions
~
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated. Some
foods may contain micro-organisms
which are only destroyed by thorough
cooking at a sufficiently high
temperature for long enough.
Therefore, when cooking or reheating
food such as poultry, it is particularly
important that the food is completely
cooked through. If in doubt, select a
longer cooking or reheating time.
~
Do not leave cooked food in the
oven and do not use any cooking
containers which are susceptible to
corrosion as this could lead to
corrosion in the appliance.
~
The appliance is designed in such a
way that there will always be a little
residual water left in the water container
after use. If there is no residual water,
there is something wrong. Call the Ser-
vice Department.
~
Do not immerse the water container
in water or clean it in a dishwasher.
Connecting the water container into the
appliance when wet could cause an
electric shock.
~
For reasons of hygiene and to
prevent the build-up of moisture in the
appliance, the water container should
be emptied after each use.
~
Take care not to tip the water
container when taking it out of the
appliance. Hot water can scald.
~
To avoid the risk of scratching the
appliance, do not use the casing of a
freestanding appliance as a resting
place for items.
