Miele H 248 Operating Instructions Manual page 11

Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons to en-
sure safety. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be dan-
gerous. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for unauthorized work.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
– or the mains fuse is withdrawn
– or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
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 oven is designed to be built
into a tall unit. If you wish to install
it in a base unit, the stainless steel rail
above the control panel must be re-
placed by a sealing strip. The sealing
strip offers additional protection from
any liquids that might spill down from
the worktop, and can be purchased
from the Miele Spare Parts dept.
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.
For cookers with a hob turn handles in-
wards, and ensure children cannot pull
pans down on themselves.
Use of heat-resistant oven gloves
is recommended, when placing
food in the oven, turning 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.
Do not use force to pull it down as
this can cause the element to
break.
