Safe Use - Miele H 217 B2 Operating Instructions Manual

Caution, danger of burning.
High temperatures are produced by
the oven.
Great care should be taken to en-
sure that small children do not
touch the appliance when it is being
used. The hob and also external parts
of the oven such as the door glass,
vents and control panel can become
quite hot.
Use of heat-resistant oven gloves
is recommended:
– when placing food in the oven, turn-
ing or removing it.
When working with "Conventional" heat-
ing or when grilling, the element in the
roof of the oven and the guard plate
become very hot, and there is a danger
of being burnt.
Wait until the grill element has
cooled down before lowering it for
cleaning, to avoid the danger of burn-
ing.
Use only a Miele roast probe (core
temperature probe) as supplied
with this appliance. If a replacement is
necessary it can be obtained from the
Miele Spare Parts Dept or a Miele spe-
cialist dealer.
After using do not remove the roast
probe until the oven interior is cool.
When not in use do not leave the
roast probe in the oven, especially
when grilling. High grill temperatures
could damage it.
Do not use force to pull it down as
this can cause the element to
break.
Do not heat up unopened tins or
jars of food in the oven, as press-
ure will build up and they will explode.
Do not push pots and pans around
on the oven floor as this could
damage the surface.
Do not lean or sit on the open oven
door, or place heavy items on it.
This could damage the appliance. Take
care in the region of the hinges. The
oven door can support a maximum
load of 10 kg.
Cover any food which is left in the
oven to be kept hot. This avoids
the food drying out. It also prevents
steam condensing and possibly lead-
ing to moisture damage in the oven.
If food is left in the oven after cook-
ing, e.g. to take advantage of the
residual heat, select the lowest tem-
perature available. Leave the function
selector switch at the position set.
Do not switch the appliance off until the
food has been removed. Otherwise
there may be a build-up of condensa-
tion which could adversely affect the
oven interior, and externally the control
panel, the worktop surface or surround-
ing kitchen furniture.
Put any deep frozen products such
as pizza on baking paper on the
rack. Do not place them on the baking
tray or grill pan. This could cause the
metal to distort to such an extent that it
might be difficult to remove the
tray/pan from the oven. The distortion
would increase with subsequent use.
