Operation

Temperature warning §

Please note:

The ventilation system can become very hot during operation. It can cause burns, particularly when cooking with gas.

The ventilation system is equipped with a temperature sensor.

The warning light § above the control panel will flash when the temperature of the housing exceeds 113 °F (45°C).

When this happens, do not touch the housing or the grease filters (e.g. to clean).

The ventilation system can still be used.

Turn off the appliance immediately if a pot boils over and liquid flows over the burner towards the ventilation system. The liquid could damage the ventilation system.

Turn off the ventilation system by pressing the 0/1 button.

Disconnect the ventilation system from the power supply, see "Important Safety Instructions".

Leave the ventilation system off for an extended period of time so that any liquid that may have entered can evaporate.

Do not open the housing to remove the liquid.

11

Cleaning and Care

Before cleaning or servicing the ventilation system, disconnect it from the power supply, see "Important Safety Instructions".

Cleaning the casing

Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or caustic (oven) cleaners on the ventilation system. They will damage the surface.

All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned with a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge.

Wipe dry using a soft cloth.

Do not use too much water when cleaning the controls. Water could penetrate the electronics and cause damage.

Avoid:

cleaning agents containing lye, acids or chlorides,

abrasive cleaning agents,

e.g. powder or cream cleansers,

abrasive sponges, i.e. pot scourers or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents.

These will damage the surface.

The following instructions for cleaning "Stainless steel" surfaces should be followed in addition to the general "Cleaning the casing" instructions.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.

To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner for stainless steel can be applied.

Cleaners are available from Miele.
