~
Do not cover the hob, e. g. with a
hob cover, a cloth or protective foil. The
material could catch fire, shatter or melt
if the appliance is switched on by
mistake or if it 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.
~
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 the hob, and
never heat up empty pans as they
could get damaged. This could also
damage the appliance.
~
The pan support supplied must
always be used. Pans must not be
placed directly on the burner.
Warning and Safety instructions
~
Do not store any inflammable
objects near the hob.
~
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
hob.
~
Using the hob will cause a build-up
of heat and moisture in the room in
which it is installed. Ensure that the
room has sufficient natural or
mechanical means of ventilation, e.g.
an extractor.
~
If the hob 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 extractor on the highest setting.
~
When using an electrical appliance,
e.g. a hand-held food blender, near the
hob, ensure that the cable of the
electrical appliance does not come into
contact with the hot hob. The insulation
on the cable could become damaged,
giving rise to an electric shock hazard.
~
Spray canisters, aerosols and other
inflammable substances must not be
stored in a drawer under the hob.
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
