Miele KM 402 Operating Instructions Manual page 8

Never leave the appliance unat-
tended when it is switched on and
when frying is taking place. Overheated
oil can catch fire and could even set
the cooker hood on fire. On no account
should there be an open flame in the vi-
cinity.
If frying oil does catch fire despite
this do not attempt to put out the
flames with water. Stifle the fire with a
suitable fire blanket or by covering with
the lid.
Avoid touching the appliance and
the frying oil when they are hot.
Both will remain hot for quite a while af-
ter the appliance has been switched
off. Only the handle of the frying basket
can be touched safely. Keep children at
a distance.
Do not store anything which might
arouse a child's interest in storage
areas above or next to the appliance.
Otherwise they could be tempted into
climbing onto the appliance with the
risk of burning themselves.

You may prefer to use heat-resis-
tant pot holders or gloves when us-
ing the appliance.
Take care not to let pot holders or
gloves get damp or wet, as this causes
heat to transfer through the material
quicker with the risk of burning yourself.
Clean or change dirty oil or fat in
good time. Oil or fat containing im-
purities is liable to catch fire.
Do not empty hot fat or oil into a
plastic container. The high temper-
ature could cause this to melt.
Ensure that children are kept away
from the fryer and cannot get near
to the drain tap of the fryer where oil
which is still hot could be drained out.
