Miele DA 237 Operating Instructions Manual page 5

The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed, (do not pull on
the cable, only on the plug)
– the mains fuse is withdrawn;
– or the screw-out fuse is removed, (in
countries where this is applicable). En-
sure current is not restored to the ap-
pliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance.(e.g.
danger of overheating)
The appliance is not intended for
use by young children or infirm per-
sons without supervision.
Young children should be super-
vised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions
Use of the appliance
Never use an open flame beneath
the cooker hood - to avoid the
danger of fire do not flambé or grill
dishes. When switched on the cooker
hood could draw flames into the filter.
Fat particles drawn into the cooker
hood present a fire hazard.
When using the cooker hood over
a gas hob ensure that any burners
in use are always covered by a pan.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up
by the suction of the cooker hood,
parts of which could then be damaged.
Always switch the cooker hood on
when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in
the hood, which could cause corrosion.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip
pans and deep fat fryers etc, do
not leave the pans unattended.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite and
could set the cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood with-
out the grease filter in place.
This way you will avoid the risk of
grease and dirt getting into the ap-
pliance and hindering its smooth oper-
ation.
