Miele KM424 - Manual (Page 7)

Before removing pots and pans, be
sure to turn off the burners.
Do not store items on the
appliance when not in use. Items
could melt or catch fire from residual
heat or if the cooktop is turned on
inadvertently.
Never cover the cooktop with a
cloth. A fire could result.
Never leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil
or fat. Overheated fat could ignite.
Always heat oil slowly, monitoring it as it
heats.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother any fire or flame, or use a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
When frying food, make sure that
the food is as dry as possible
before placing it in the oil. Moisture can
cause hot oil to splatter and boil over.
Do not flambé under an exhaust
hood. Flames could be drawn up
into the hood by the suction or the
grease filters may ignite.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate
on the appliance.
Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
garments when operating the
cooktop, they may present a fire
hazard.
Flammable materials should not be
stored on or near your appliance.
If there is a drawer directly
underneath the appliance without
any wooden base in between, ensure
that no aerosols, combustible liquids or
other easily flammable materials are
kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be
placed in the drawer, they must be
made of heat-resistant material.
