Miele KM 84-2 Operating Instructions Manual page 7

Warning and Safety Instructions
Do not leave the appliance unat-
tended when cooking with oils and
fats as these are fire hazards if over-
heated.
When switched on, the cooking
areas heat up extremely quickly.
The residual heat indicators will show
whether a cooking area is switched on,
or is still hot.
Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall cook-
ing time, including the size and amount
of food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cook-
ing container.
Some foods may contain micro organ-
isms which are only destroyed by
thorough cooking, therefore when cook-
ing or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is
par-ticulary important that the food is
fully cooked through. If in doubt select
a longer cooking or reheating time.
It is essential to ensure that food
has been evenly and sufficiently
heated, and to check that it is thor-
oughly cooked, turning or stirring dur-
ing cooking if necessary.
In the event of any breakages or
cracks occuring in the ceramic
hob it must be switched off immediately
and disconnected from the electricity
supply.
Contact the Miele Service Department.
Do not use the hob until the damaged
ceramic plate has been replaced. Con-
tinued use would be dangerous as
liquids etc. boiling over could penetrate
the electrical components through the
crack.
Warning and Safety Instructions
When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the ce-
ramic hob ensure that the cable cannot
touch a heated hob or pan.
Do not use the control panel as a
resting place for pots and pans.
Do not use the ceramic hob to
heat up the room.
The high temperatures of the hob could
cause inflammable objects in the vi-
cinity to burn.
Only for Halogen hobs
Do not stare at halogen cooking
areas when heating if there is no pan in
place.
This could cause damage to the eyes.
Do not use the hob as a resting
place for anything else. This could
lead to a danger of the article catching
fire, if the hob were to be switched on
inadvertently.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers.
These melt at higher temperatures and
could damage the ceramic surface.
