Miele KM 403 Operating Instructions Manual page 7

Protecting the appliance from
damage
Do not drop anything on the glass
surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean this appliance. The steam
could reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to other
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches and other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance
guarantee.
Warning and Safety instructions
Protection from burning and
scalding
Never leave the appliance
unattended when using it.
Overheated oil can catch fire and could
even set the cooker hood on fire.
Never use open flames near the
appliance, e.g. candles or lighters. Fire
hazard!
If frying oil does catch fire despite
this do not attempt to put out the
flames with water. Stifle the fire with a
suitable fire blanket or by covering with
the lid.
Avoid touching the appliance and
the frying oil when they are hot.
Both will remain hot for quite a while
after the appliance has been switched
off. Only the handle of the frying basket
can be touched safely.
For added protection, it is
advisable to use heat-resistant pot
holders or gloves when using the
appliance. Do not let them get damp or
wet, as this causes heat to transfer
through the material more quickly with
the risk of burning yourself.
Clean or change dirty oil or fat in
good time. Oil or fat containing
impurities is liable to catch fire.
