Warning and Safety instructions
~
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 "Pots &
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
cooktop. Miele will not accept liability
for any damage resulting from such
incorrect use.
~
Ensure that the flames from the
burner do not spread out beyond the
base and up the sides of the pan.
~
Unless the pan manufacturer states
that you can do so, do not use pans
with very thin bases on this cooktop,
and never heat up empty pans as they
could get damaged. This could also
damage the appliance.
~
Always use the pan supports
supplied. Never place a pot or pan on
the burner itself.
~
Do not store any inflammable
objects near the gas cooktop.
~
Remove splashes of fat and other
food debris from the surface as soon as
possible. These are a fire hazard.
~
Replace the pan supports carefully
to avoid scratching the surface of the
cooktop.

~
Using the cooktop creates heat,
moisture and products of combustion
within the room in which it is located. It
is important to make sure the room is
sufficiently ventilated during operation
of the cooktop with natural or
mechanical means of ventilation, e.g. a
rangehood.
~
If the cooktop is used for very long
periods of time, additional ventilation of
the room may be necessary, e.g. by
opening windows or doors, or running
the rangehood on the highest setting.
~
While the gas cooktop is in
operation, it must be used in
conjunction with either a rangehood or
another domestic ventilation system.
~
When using an electrical appliance,
e.g. a hand-held mixer, near the gas
cooktop, ensure that the connection
cable doesn't come into contact with
the hot cooktop. The insulation on the
cable could become damaged, giving
rise to an electric shock hazard.
~
Do not use or store flammable
materials in the appliance storage
drawer or near this appliance. Cutlery
inserts must be heat-resistant.
~
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity
of this appliance while it is in operation.
~
Do not use pans that are large
enough to cover more than one burner.
The resulting build-up of heat could
damage the appliance.
