Miele TepanYaki Operating And Installation Instructions page 8

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
~
The TepanYaki gets hot when in use
and remains hot for quite a while after
being switched off.
Caution: Danger of burning.
~
Do not leave the appliance
unattended whilst it is being used.
Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause
a fire.
~
If oil or fat does catch fire, do not
attempt to put out the flames with water.
Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan
lid, damp towel or similar to smother the
flames.
~
Do not use the TepanYaki to heat up
the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire. The life of the
appliance could also be reduced.
~
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
scalding or burning yourself.
~
Do not flambé under a rangehood.
The flames could set the rangehood on
fire.
8
~
Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else.
When the appliance is switched on
either deliberately or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present,
there is the risk of metal objects heating
up, with a danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other
objects left on the appliance could also
melt or catch fire.
Switch the appliance off after use.
~
Installing several appliances
Do not place any hot pots or pans near
the spacer bar as they could damage
the sealing strip of the spacer bar.
~
Do not cover the appliance, e.g.
with a covering plate, a cloth, kitchen
foil etc. If the appliance is switched on
by mistake, or if there is residual heat,
these materials may catch fire, shatter
or melt.
~
Do not heat up unopened tins or jars
of food on the Tepan plate as pressure
will build up in the tin, causing it to
explode. This could result in injury and
scalding or damage.
~
Do not use plastic utensils or
utensils coated with any plastic on the
appliance, as the Tepan plate gets very
hot. Even heat-resistant plastic utensils
are unsuitable.
