Miele H 340 Operating Instructions Manual page 13

Remove all accessories including
the runners and any extra accesso-
ries such as, for example, the tele-
scopic carriage, from the oven interior
before starting the pyrolytic cleaning
process.
The high temperatures needed for py-
rolysis will damage the accessories and
cause irreparable damage to the tele-
scopic carriage.
Use of heat-resistant oven gloves
is recommended when placing
food in the oven, turning or removing it.
When working with "Conventional" heat-
ing or when grilling, the element in the
roof of the oven and the guard plate be-
come very hot, and there is a danger of
being burnt.
When cleaning the roof of the oven
wait until the grill element has
cooled down before lowering it, to
avoid the danger of burning.
Do not use force to pull it down as
this can cause the element to
break.
Do not use plastic containers.
These melt at high temperatures
and could damage the oven.
Do not heat up unopened tins or
jars of food in the oven, as pres-
sure can build up and they may ex-
plode. This could result in injury or
damage.
Do not push pots and pans around
on the oven floor as this could
damage the surface.
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not lean or sit on an open oven
door, or place heavy items on it.
This could damage the appliance. Take
care in the region of the hinges. The
oven door can support a maximum load
of 10 kg.
Cover any food which is left in the
oven to be kept hot. This avoids
the food drying out. It also prevents
steam condensing and possibly lead-
ing to moisture damage in the oven.
If food is left in the oven after cook-
ing, e.g. to take advantage of the
residual heat, turn the temperature se-
lector to "0°C". Leave the function se-
lector at the position set.
Do not switch the appliance off until the
food has been removed. Otherwise
there may be a build-up of condensa-
tion which could adversely affect the
oven interior, and externally the control
panel, the worktop surface or surround-
ing kitchen furniture.
Bake larger deep-frozen items
such as pizzas on baking paper on
the rack itself or in the pizza pan (see
"Extra accessories"). Placing them on
the baking tray or in the grill pan can
cause the metal to distort. This distor-
tion would increase with subsequent
use.
Deep frozen foods such as oven chips
or potato croquettes can be cooked on
the baking tray or grill pan.
