Miele KM 320 - Manual (Page 6)

Personal safety
~
The burners become very hot when
in use. Make sure that no one comes in
contact with them.
~
Do not store toys or items of interest
to children in cabinets above or behind
the cooktop. Children climbing onto the
cooktop to reach these items may
become seriously injured.
~
Do not leave children unattended in
an area where the appliance is in use.
~
Do not allow children to operate or
play with the cooktop. Keep all pans
out of the reach of children.
~
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 burners. Do not use
towels or other bulky items near the
appliance.
~
Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
clothing while operating the cooktop,
they present a fire hazard.
~
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 cooktop
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.
~
For safety reasons the flame should
be adjusted to be the same size as the
bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not
use small pans with high flame settings
as the flames can climb the sides of the
pan.
~
Only use cooking utensils suitable
for cooktop use.
~
Always position pan handles and
utensils inward so they do not extend
over adjacent work areas, burners, or
the edge of the cooktop.
~
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.
