Miele DA 249-2, Operating And Installation Instructions

Page: 5 / 36

This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assess-
ment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed.
(do not pull on the cable, only on the
plug) or
– the fuse from the fused spur connec-
tion unit is withdrawn, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed in
countries where this is applicable.
Do not use an extension lead to
connect the appliance to the mains
electricity supply.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance, (e.g.
danger of overheating).
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 or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guar-
antee.
Use
Never use an open flame beneath
the cooker hood. To avoid the dan-
ger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an
open flame.
When switched on, the cooker hood
could draw flames into the filter. Fat
particles drawn into the cooker hood
present a fire hazard.
When using the cooker hood over
a gas hob ensure that any burners
in use are always covered by a pan.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the cooker hood, parts of
which could then be damaged.
Always switch the cooker hood on
when using the hob, otherwise
condensation may collect in the hood
which could cause corrosion.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip
pans and deep fat fryers etc, do
not leave the pans unattended. Never
leave an open grill unattended when
grilling.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite and
could set the cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood without
the grease filter in place.
This way you will avoid the risk of
grease and dirt getting into the appli-
ance and hindering its smooth opera-
tion.
Clean or change the filters regu-
larly.
An over saturated filter is a fire
hazard. (See "Cleaning and care").
