Warning and Safety instructions
~
Do not flambé under a cooker hood. The flames could set the
cooker hood on fire.
~
For added protection, it is advisable to use heat-resistant pot
holders or gloves when using the appliance. Ensure that they do not
come into contact with the flames. Do not use large cloths, tea
towels or similar as the ends could touch the flames and catch fire.
Take care not to let the gloves get damp or wet, as this causes heat
to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding
or burning yourself.
~
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a light object
could cause damage in certain circumstances.
~
Do not use the appliance as a resting place for anything else. The
article could melt or catch fire if residual heat is still present or if the
appliance is switched on by mistake.
~
Do not cover the hob with, e. g. with a hob cover, a cloth or
protective foil. This could present a fire hazard if the appliance is
switched on by mistake or if the hob is still warm.
~
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high
temperatures and could catch fire.
~
Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob as pressure will
build up in the tin, causing it to explode. This could result in injury
and scalding or damage.
~
Make sure all the components of the gas burners have been
correctly assembled before switching on.
~
Pans must be the correct size for the burner they are used on
(see "Suitable pans"). A pan which is too small will be unstable on
the pan support. If the pan diameter is too large, flames can spread
out to the sides and damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings or
surrounding units and also parts of the hob. Miele cannot be held
liable for this type of damage.
