Cleaning And Care - Miele KWT 6312 Operating And Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
~
Defective components should only
be replaced by Miele original parts.
Only with these parts can the
manufacturer guarantee the safety of
the appliance.
Proper use
~
The appliance is designed for use
within a certain climate range (ambient
temperatures), and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range
for your appliance is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.
Installing it in a room with too low an
ambient temperature, e.g. a garage,
will lead to the appliance turning off for
longer periods so that it cannot
maintain the required temperature.
~
Do not cover or block the air vents.
This can impair the efficiency of the
appliance, increase the electricity
consumption and cause damage to the
appliance.
~
WARNING! Danger of damage from
overheating. May restirct operation.
Keep ventilation openings, in the
appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
~
If you store fatty or greasy foods in
the appliance or the appliance door,
make sure that no oil or grease leaks
onto the plastic parts of the appliance.
This can cause the plastic to crack and
break.
~
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Electrical components could
cause flammable vapors to ignite.
Danger of fire and explosion.

Do not operate any electrical
equipment (e.g. an electric ice cream

The steam can reach the electrical
components and cause a short circuit.
