Miele KM 451 - Manual (Page 5)

Do not install the cooktop directly
above a dishwasher, refrigerator or
freezer. Heat radiated by the cooktop
may damage them.
If the cooktop is installed above an
oven, keep the cooktop’s power
cord from contacting the oven.
Because of the heat radiated it is
not recommended to install the
cooktop above a drawer. It should only
be installed above a cabinet base unit
with a dummy drawer front and an ad-
ditional protective base between the
appliance and the cabinet.
This equipment has not been de-
signed for maritime use or for use
in mobile installations such as aircraft
or recreational vehicles. However, un-
der certain circumstances it may be
possible for an installation in these ap-
plications. Please contact the nearest
Miele Dealer or the Miele Technical Ser-
vice Department with specific require-
ments.

This appliance is equipped with an
overheating protection. See, "Over-
heating protection" for information.
Never use the appliance to warm
