Important Notes For The User - Miele KM 326G Operating Instructions Manual

Important notes for the user

– Installation and maintenance should only be
carried out by a suitably qualified person
(licensed gas fitter in Canada).
– For safety reasons, this hob should only be
fitted as a built-in appliance.
– Please remember that the hob becomes hot,
not only around the burner, but also the
control panel. Therefore ensure that small
children do not touch the hob when it is being
used.
– When cooking or boiling in large pots or pans,
ensure that there is a minimum distance of
2˝ (50 mm) between the pot and a heat-
sensitive worktop.
After combustion, the hot gases flow
outwards under the base of the pot and may
consequently burn the edge of the worktop if
it is too close.
– Make sure there is a minimum distance of
5/8˝ (15 mm) between the pot or pan and the
control panel. Never place a pot on the
control panel.
– When using a cooker hood over the gas hob,
ensure that any burners in use are always
covered with a pot or frying pan. Otherwise,
parts of the cooker hood could be damaged
by the heat and/or flames.
– Note that potential hazards may exist with
overhead cabinets.
– Not to be used for space heating. This
instruction is based on safety considerations.
4
– When a gas cooking appliance is being used,
heat and moisture are produced in the area
where the appliance is situated. Make sure
that the area is sufficiently ventilated; open
natural ventilation openings or fit a
mechanical ventilator (extractor). When the
hob is used for longer periods, extra
ventilation may be needed, such as an open
window or a higher setting on the ventilator
(extractor).
Advice
– The safe and efficient use of this appliance
requires that it be regularly serviced by a
qualified technician; however, the frequency
of service will depend on usage. Once a year
should suffice.
Before starting check
Remove all packaging materials and labels
before using your hob.
Check:
– that the gas is on at the mains;
– that the plug is in the wall socket;
– that the pan supports are positioned correctly.
