Miele KM 2354 Operating And Installation Instructions page 13

~
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 the appliance. Cutlery
inserts must be heat-resistant.
~
Do not use pans that are large
enough to cover more than one burner.
The resulting build-up of heat could
damage the appliance.
~
Avoid allowing liquids or foods
containing salt to spill onto the cooktop.
If salty foods or liquids do get on the
cooktop, they should be removed as
soon as possible to avoid the risk of
corrosion.
Warning and Safety instructions
~
If the cooktop is built-in behind a
furniture door, it must only be operated
when the door is open.
Close the furniture door only once the
appliance has been switched off and
the residual heat indicators have gone
out.
~
If the appliance has not been used
for a long period of time, it should be
thoroughly cleaned before it is used
again. It is also advisable to have the
appliance tested by a qualified person
for safety.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.
