Built-up pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury. 6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Pot and pan handles should be turned inward and not extend over the countertop to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spills. Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on the appliance. Smother any fire or flame, or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction or the grease filters may ignite. Take care that drafts from fans or forced air vents do not blow flammable material toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can climb up the sides of the pan. 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. 7 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Damage to the appliance In the event of damage or a defect, turn off the appliance immediately. Turn off the gas shut off valve, and disconnect completely from the electrical supply. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance while repair work is carried out. Repairs should only be performed by qualified technicians to ensure safety. While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be performed by a Miele authorized service technician. Otherwise the warranty is invalidated. Further safety notes When using a portable appliance near the cooktop, make sure that the power cord does not come into contact with the cooktop. Before discarding an old appliance, disconnect it from the gas and electrical supply and cut off the power cord to prevent it from becoming a hazard.
