Miele KM 417 Operating Instructions Manual page 5

Correct usage
For safety reasons the appliance
must only be used after it has been
built in. This is necessary to ensure that
all electrical components are shielded.
This appliance is intended for
domestic use only and is not to be
used for commercial purposes.
Use this appliance for the
preparation of meals only. Any
other usage is at the owner's risk and
could be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damage
caused by incorrect or improper use of
the appliance.
Do not use the appliance to heat
up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects near the
appliance could catch fire. The life of
the appliance could also be reduced.
Using the gas hob will cause a
build-up of heat and moisture in
the room in which it is installed. Ensure
that the room has sufficient natural or
mechanical means of ventilation, e.g.
an extractor.
Warning and Safety instructions
If the hob is used for very long
periods of time, additional
ventilation of the room may be
necessary, e.g. by opening windows or
doors, or running the extractor on the
highest setting.
This appliance must not be set up
or operated in the open air.
Make sure all the components of
the gas burner have been correctly
assembled before switching on.
When using a cooker hood over
the gas hob, ensure that any
burners in use are always covered with
a pan. Otherwise flames could be
drawn up by the suction of the cooker
hood, parts of which could then be
damaged or even set on fire.
Pans must be the correct size for
the burner they are used on (see
"Pans"). A pan which is too small will be
unstable on the pan support. If the pan
diameter is too large, flames can
spread out to the sides and damage or
burn the worktop, wall claddings or
surrounding units and also parts of the
hob. The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for this type of damage.
Do not store any inflammable
objects near the gas hob.
