Miele KM 411 - Manual (Page 7)

Protecting the appliance from
damage
When grilling or keeping food
warm, do not use pots and pans or
similar on the open grill and never
cover the rack (e.g. with aluminium foil)
or use disposable aluminium foil
containers. The resulting build-up of
heat could damage the rack.
Do not drop anything on the glass
surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean this appliance. The steam
could reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to other
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches and other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance
guarantee.
Protection from burning and
scalding
Never leave the grill unattended
while grilling is taking place.
Overheated oil or residues of food or fat
on the lava rocks could flare up and
even set the cooker hood alight.
Should anything catch fire despite
this do not attempt to put the
flames out with water. Instead
extinguish the flames using a suitable
fire blanket, damp towel or similar to
smother the flames.
For added protection, it is
advisable to use heat-resistant pot
holders or gloves when using the
appliance. Do not let them get damp or
wet, as this causes heat to transfer
through the material more quickly with
the risk of burning yourself.
Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else.
This could lead to a danger of the
article beginning to melt or catching
fire, if residual heat were still present or
if the appliance was switched on by
mistake.
Do not cover the appliance, e.g.
with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This
could be a fire hazard if the appliance
was switched on by mistake.
Clean the lava rocks regularly and
replace them when necessary.
Rocks which are saturated catch fire
easily. The grill trough and the lava rock
container should be cleaned after each
use to keep them free of oil and fat.
