Miele KM 417 manual Safety cut-out, Use during a power cut

Using the gas hob

Safety cut-out

This appliance is fitted with an electric ignition safety device which cuts off the supply of gas to a burner if the flame goes out, for example if food has boiled over, or if there was a sudden draught.

^To use the hob again, turn the control clockwise until the ß position is reached and switch on as normal.

The safety cut-out operates independently from the electricity supply. This means that it is still active when the hob is used during a power cut (see "Use during a power cut").

Use during a power cut

If there is an interruption to the electricity supply the gas can be ignited with a match:

^Press in the relevant control and turn it anti-clockwise to the large gas symbol.

^Hold the control pressed in and light the gas at the burner with a match.

^Keep the control pressed in for a further 8-10 seconds and then release it.
