Warning and Safety Instructions
Warning:
When using your cooktop, follow basic safety precautions including the following:
Read all instructions before using the cooktop.
Use the cooktop only for its intended use.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a quali-
fied technician.
Before servicing, disconnect the power supply by removing the fuse
or turning off the circuit breaker.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective grounding system.
It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, the electrical system of the house should be checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by the lack or inadequacy of an effective grounding system.
Never use the cooktop to warm or heat the room.
When using an electrical outlet near the cooktop, make sure that
the cable of the appliance does not come into contact with the burners.
"CAUTION": Do not store items of interest to children behind or in
cabinets above the cooktop.– Children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not allow children to operate or play with or near the cooktop.
Store all play items away from the cooktop to prevent injury to
curious or playful children.
Please remember that burners become hot; therefore, ensure that
children do not touch them.
Do not store items on the cooktop when not in use.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate
on the cooktop.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when cooking with oil or
fat. Very hot oil can cause a fire.
Allow sufficient time for the cooktop to cool before touching or ex-
posing surface areas to flammable materials.
If cracks or crevices appear in the cooktop, immediately turn off the
cooktop and contact the Miele Service Department or your local service dealer.
If sugar (either solid or liquid) or plastic melt onto the ceramic
surface, it is essential to follow the cleaning instructions on Page 14.

Warning and Safety Instructions
Always cook pork thoroughly to ensure that, in the event of trichina,
all bacteria will be killed and the meat is safe to eat.
For best results, utilize pots and pans that are the same size as the
cooktop heating elements.
If high settings are used, be cautious of splattering grease or
liquids boiling over which may produce smoke.
Use only dry potholders.
Use only cookware suitable for range-top service. Unsuitable cookware may break due to sudden
temperature changes.
Always position the handle of the cookware toward the center of the
cooktop to minimize burns, spillage and ignition of flammable materials.
Before removing pots and pans, be sure to turn surface units to OFF.
Always heat fat slowly, monitoring it as it heats.
When frying foods, make sure that the food is as dry as possible to
prevent moisture from causing hot fat to bubble over.
When shallow or deep-frying, do not overfill the pan with oil.
Wear proper apparel – Loose-fit- ting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the appliance.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be refered to a qualified technician.
Do not use water on grease fires. Smother the fire or use a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Do not cook on a broken cooktop – If the cooktop should break,
cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact the Miele Service Department or your local Service dealer.
Clean the cooktop using caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce toxic fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Under no circumstance use a steam-cleaning appliance to clean
the cooktop.
The steam could penetrate to live components and cause a short circuit.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY.

Warning and Safety Instructions
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.
Disposal of discarded appliances
Before disposal of an old appliance, disconnect and remove
the appliance cord to render it useless. This is intended to prevent the discarded appliance from being a hazard.
Text highlighted in boxes is of particular importance and should be read in conjunction with the Warning and Safety instructions.

Before using for the first time
Read the “Warning and Safety instructions” before using for the first time.
Thoroughly clean the ceramic cooktop before using for the first time, and then regularly after each use (see “Cleaning and care”).
There may be a slight smell during the initial use due to the drying effect of the insulation material.
8
Cooktop controls
All cooking areas are controlled by variable control knobs. By using these control knobs, temperatures can be freely selected.
The controls can be turned either clockwise or counterclockwise.
The indicator lamp for each cooking area lights as soon as the respective control knob is turned to a setting.
It goes out when the control knob is turned to the “0” position.
A resistance is felt between settings 7 and 8 to indicate that a higher temperature range is being reached.
Correct procedure:
Place saucepan of food on cooking area.
Select a high number for boiling or sealing in juices.
Should a trace of steam become visible on the edge of the lid, switch to a lower number for continued cooking.
Turning the temperature down at the right time . . .
. . . prevents food from overcooking.
. . . prevents food from burning.
. . . saves energy.
