IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for an installation in these applications. Please contact the nearest Miele dealer or the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.

~Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. If the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

~Before discarding an old appliance, unplug it from the power supply and remove the power cord and any doors to prevent hazards.

~Do not allow children to play with or operate the appliance or its controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

~Do not flambé or grill with an open flame beneath the hood.

Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction and the grease filters may catch fire.

~Never operate gas burners without cookware. Turn the burner off when not in use. Adjust the burner so that the flames do not extend beneath the cookware. Do not overheat the cookware, e.g. when using a wok. The hood can be damaged due to excessive heat from the burners and the cookware.

~Do not use the hood without the grease filters in place.

~Clean the grease filters regularly. Dirty filters are a fire hazard.

~Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the hood. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.

~Always turn on the hood when using the cooktop to prevent damage from condensation.
