Miele KM 411 Operating Instructions Manual page 5

The appliance becomes very hot
when in use. Make sure that no one
comes in contact with it. The heating el-
ement and grate may be hot even
though they are dark in color.
Do not store toys or items of inter-
est to children in cabinets above or
behind the appliance. Children climb-
ing onto the grill to reach these items
may become seriously injured.
Do not allow children to operate or
play with, or near, the grill.
Use only dry, heat resistant pot-
holders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces can result in
steam burns. Do not let the potholder
touch the hot heating element. Do not
use towels or other bulky items near the
appliance.
Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting
or hanging garments should never
be worn while cooking.
Do not heat unopened food con-
tainers. Build-up pressure may
cause the container to burst and result
in injury.
Do not store items on the grill when
not in use.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate
on the appliance.
Do not leave the appliance unat-
tended while in use. Overheated
food can ignite.
Extinguish flames immediately.
Replace the lava rocks regularly.
Rocks saturated with oil or fat
catch fire easily. The grill trough and the
lava rock container should be cleaned
after each use to keep them free of oil
and fat.
Never put water or ice on to a hot
grill. This can cause a serious re-
action leading to injury.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother any fire or flame, or use a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Do not store aerosols, combusti-
bles and/or any other easily flam-
mable materials underneath or adjacent
to the grill.
