Miele HR 1954 Operating Instructions Manual page 9


Do not install kitchen cabinets above the range, since reaching
over a hot stovetop to access the cabinets can result in burns. If it is
necessary to install cabinets, you can reduce the risk of burns by
installing a range hood that extends at least 4 3/4" (12 cm) past the
bottom of the cabinets.
Proper use

You can burn yourself on a hot warming drawer. When using the
appliance, protect your hands by wearing heat-resistant pot holders.
Only use dry pot holders. Wet or damp textiles conduct heat more
effectively and produce steam, which poses a burn hazard.

Loose fitting or hanging garments present a fire hazard. Wear
proper apparel while operating the appliance.

Fire hazard! Do not store any plastic containers or flammable
objects in the warming drawer. They can meld or catch fire when the
appliance is switched on.

Due to the high temperatures radiated by the warming drawer,
nearby flammable objects can catch fire while the appliance is in
use. Do not use the warming drawer to heat the room.

Never use paper towels or other similar objects in place of the
non-slip mat supplied with the appliance.

The maximum load capacity of the telescopic drawer rails is 55
lbs (25 kg). If you overload the warming drawer or lean/stand on the
drawer when it is open, you will damage the rails.

Do not use the warming drawer to heat food in closed containers,
such as cans or sealed jars.
Pressure will build up in the container and cause it to explode.

The underside of the warming drawer gets hot when the
appliance is in use. Be careful not to touch it when the drawer is
open.
