User manual MIELE KM 404 DOUBLE BURNER CUSTOMIZED COOKING SURFACE OPERATING MANUAL

[. . . ] To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by the lack, or inadequacy, of an effective grounding system. Install the appliance so that the power cord or gas piping does not come in contact with any portion of the cooktop which may become hot during use. [. . . ] Although the ceramic glass is shock and scratch resistant, it is not shock or scratch proof. 5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Personal Safety The burners become very hot when in use. Do not leave children unattended in an area where the appliance is in use. 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. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces can result in steam burns. Be aware of loose fitting or hanging garments when operating the cooktop, they may present a fire hazard. Built-up pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury. 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 and ignite the grease filters. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can climb the sides of the pan. 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 a 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 they must be made of heat-resistant material. 6 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. Any breakages or cracks in the ceramic surface of the appliance are defects and must be treated as such. Repairs should only be performed by qualified technicians to ensure safety. Under no circumstance should the outer casing of the appliance be opened. While the appliance is under warranty repairs should only be performed by a Miele authorized service technician. Otherwise the warranty is void. Further safety notes When using a portable appliance near the cooktop, make sure that its power cord does not come in contact with the cooktop.
