Miele KM 2011 Water Heater User Manual


 
Correct use
~
The appliance gets hot when in use
and remains hot for quite a while after it
has been switched off. Do not touch it
whilst it could still be hot.
~
If a cooker hood is installed above
the gas hob, ensure that the burners
are always covered with a pan when in
use. Otherwise flames could reach the
cooker hood, parts of which could then
be damaged or set on fire.
~
Do not leave the appliance
unattended whilst it is being used. Oil
and fat are potential fire hazards as
they can ignite if overheated.
~
If oil or fat does catch fire, do not
attempt to put out the flames with water.
Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan
lid, damp towel or similar to smother the
flames.
~
Do not use the appliance to heat up
the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire. The life of the
appliance could also be reduced.
~
Always use heat-resistant pot
holders or gloves when working with a
hot 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 flambé under a cooker hood.
The flames could set the cooker hood
on fire.
~
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 appliance, e.g.
with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could
be a fire hazard if residual heat is still
present or the appliance is switched on
by mistake.
~
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high
temperatures and could catch fire.
