Miele KM412 - Manual (Page 6)

Protection from burns
Do not allow children to operate or
play with or near the cooktop.
Use only dry, heat-resistant
potholders. Moist or damp
potholders used on hot surfaces can
result in steam burns. Do not let the
potholder touch the hot heating
element. Do not use towels or other
bulky items near the appliance.
Loose fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using
the appliance.
Do not heat unopened food
containers. Built-up pressure may
cause the container to burst and result
in injury.
Do not store items on the
appliance when not in use.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate
on the appliance.
Do not leave the cooktop
unattended while in use.
Overheated food can ignite.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother any fire or flame, or use a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Do not flambé under an exhaust
hood. Flames could be drawn up
into the hood by the suction or the
grease filters may ignite.
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, these must be
made of heat-resistant material.
