Miele KM 2030 Safety Notices And Warnings, ~NEVER use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance

SAFETY NOTICES AND WARNINGS

~Keep salty foods and liquids away from the cooktop. Salt must be promptly and thoroughly wiped away, or it will corrode the appliance.

~Place the burner grate gently on the stovetop from above, to avoid scratching.

~The use of a gas cooktop will generate heat and moisture in the room. Make sure the room is well-ventilated, whether by natural exits or the installation of a mechanical device, e.g., an exhaust hood.

~Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may require additional ventilation of the room, e.g., by opening a window, or by setting the exhaust hood to a higher setting.

~If the appliance is plugged into a socket near the appliance, check to be sure that the power cord does not come into contact with the hot appliance. This can damage the insulation on the cord. Danger of electric shock!

~Always cook food throughly. Temperatures must be high enough, and the cooking times long enough, to kill any germs in the food.

~If there is a drawer below the appliance, do NOT store any spray cans, flammable liquids, or flammable materials in the drawer. Cutlery trays must be made of heat-resistant material.

~NEVER use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance.

The steam can reach the electrical components and cause the appliance to short circuit.

~If the appliance has been out of use for a long period of time, be sure to thoroughly clean it and have it inspected by a qualified technician before using it again.

~Repair of the gas cooktop during the warranty period should be performed only by a service technician who is authorized by the manufacturer; otherwise, should damage result, it will not be covered by the warranty.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for damage caused by failure to comply with the Safety information and warnings.
