Miele GAS KM 81-2 - Manual (Page 10)

Warning and Safety instructions
When using a cooker hood over
the gas cooktop, ensure that any
burners in use are always covered with
a pan.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up
by the suction of the cooker hood,
parts of which could then be damaged.
Fat residues in the filter could catch fire.
Do not use the gas cooktop to heat
up the room. The high tempera-
tures of the cooktop could cause in-
flammable objects in the vicinity to
burn.
Spray canisters, aerosols or in-
flammable substances must not be
stored in the drawer beneath the cook-
top. Any cutlery trays must be made of
a heat resistant material.
Before removing pots and pans,
be sure to turn the surface unit to
“OFF”.
Always heat fat slowly, watching as
it heats.
When frying foods, make sure that
the food is as dry as possible so
as to prevent moisture from causing hot
fat to bubble over.
When shallow or deep frying, do
not overfill the pan with oil.
Do not use spray aerosols in the
vicinity of the appliance while it is
in operation.
Under no circumstance use a
steam-cleaning appliance to clean
the gas cooktop.
The steam could penetrate to live com-
ponents and cause a short circuit.
In countries which may be subject
to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its surround-
ings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guaran-
tee/warranty.
SAVE THE INSTRUCTIONS!
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any future
user.
Disposal of discarded appliances
Before disposing of an old appli-
ance, ensure that disconnection
from the gas supply is made by a suit-
ably competent person. Switch off at
the mains, disconnect and remove the
appliance cable at both ends and ren-
der useless. This is intended to prevent
the discarded appliance from being a
hazard.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by non-
compliance with safety instructions.
