Miele KM 405 Operating Instructions Manual page 5

For safety reasons the appliance
must only be operated after it has
been built in. This is necessary to en-
sure that all electric components are
shielded.
This appliance is for domestic use
only, and is not intended for com-
mercial use.
Use this appliance for the prepara-
tion of meals only. Any other usage
is at the owner's risk and could be dan-
gerous. The manufacturer can not be
held liable for damage caused by im-
proper use or misuse of the appliance.
Do not use the appliance to heat
up the room. The high temperature
could cause inflammable objects
nearby to catch fire.
Ensure the room in which the gas
hob is installed has sufficient venti-
lation. In a small kitchen it may be ad-
visable to keep the door open if using
the hob for extended periods.
This appliance must not be set up
or operated in the open air.
Make sure all the components of
the gas burners have been cor-
rectly assembled before switching on.
When using a cooker hood over
the gas hob, ensure that any burn-
ers in use are always covered with a
pan. Otherwise flames could be drawn
up by the suction of the cooker hood,
parts of which could then be damaged
or even set on fire.
Only use pans with a base diame-
ter of maximum 22 cm (front
burner) and 24 cm (rear burner) on this
hob. Using larger pans may cause the
flames to spread out to the sides and
damage or burn the worktop, wall clad-
dings or surrounding units.
For safety and stability use only
pans with a minimum base diame-
ter of 12 cm (front burner) and 14 cm
(rear burner).
Do not store any inflammable ob-
jects near the gas hob.
