Miele H 136 MB Operating Instructions Manual page 7

The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system, which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held respon-
sible for the consequences of an inade-
quate earthing system, such as an elec-
tric shock.
This appliance must only be oper-
ated as a built-in appliance. This is
necessary to ensure that all electrical
components are shielded.
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent service techni-
cial approved by Miele in accordance
with local and national safety regula
tions. Repairs and other work by un-
qualified persons could be dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for unauthorised work.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile in-
stallations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assess-
ment of the installation being carried
out be a suitably qualified engineer.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket,
and the plug removed (where applic-
able). Do not pull on the cable, only
on the plug.
– or the mains fuse is withdrawn
– or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable)
Ensure that current is not supplied to
the appliance while maintenance or
repair work is being carried out.
Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food, its initial temperature, changes to
recipe and the shape and size of cook-
ing container. Some foods may contain
micro organisms which are only de-
stroyed by thorough cooking, therefore
when cooking or reheating foods, e.g.
poultry, it is particularly important that
food is fully cooked through (at over
70°C, for a minimum of 10 minutes). If
in doubt select a longer cooking or re-
heating time.
It is important that the heat is
allowed to spread evenly throug-
hout the food being cooked.
This can be achieved by stirring and/or
turning the food, and by observing a
sufficiently long standing time, which
should be added to the time needed
for cooking, reheating or defrosting.
