Warning and safety instructions for the user
• The heating element may be
dropped down for cleaning when it
has cooled and there is no danger
of burning oneself. Do not use force
as this can cause the element to
break.
• Roast probe: after using do not
remove until it has cooled. When
not in use do not leave the roast
probe in the oven. (High grill tempe¬
ratures for example, could cause
damage).
• Do not leave the hob or oven unat¬
tended when cooking with oils and
fats.
• Many factors will affect the overall
cooking time, including the size and
amount of food, its temperature,
changes to the recipe and the shape
and size of cooking container.
• It Is essential to ensure that food
has been evenly and sufficiently
heated, and to check that it is tho¬
roughly cooked, turning or stirring
during coo-king if necessary.
• Some foods may contain micro
organisms which are only destroyed
by thorough cooking, therefore
when cooking or reheating foods,
eg, poultry, it is particularly Important
that the food is fully cooked through.
If In doubt select a longer cooking or
reheating time.
• The hob cooking areas get hot once
they are switched on,
With the ceramic hob a residual
heat indicator shows whether a
cooking area is switched on, or is
still hot.
* In
the event of any breakages or
cracks occurring in the ceramic hob
It must be switched off immedia¬
tely and disconnected from the
electricity supply.
Contact the
Miele Service Department. Do not
use the hob until the damaged
ceramic plate has been replaced.
Continued use would be dangerous
as liquids etc boiling over could
penetrate the electrical components
through the crack.
• When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the oven
ensure that the cable cannot get
trapped in a hot oven door,
* Do not stare at halogen hotplate
when heating.
• Do not use the oven/cooker to heat
up the room. The high temperatures
of oven or hobs could cause inflam¬
mable objects in the vicinity to burn,
• Do not use the hob as a resting
place for anything else. This could
lead to a danger of the article catch¬
ing fire, if the hob were to be
switched on inadvertently.
* Do not use plastic or aluminium
foil containers
for cooking on a
hob, as these could melt at higher
temperatures and damage the plate
of a ceramic hob.
