Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Installation, maintenance and repair work may only be carried out

by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. Installation, maintenance and repairs by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check the appliance

for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if

correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.

To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the

connection data (frequency and voltage) on the data plate corresponds to the household supply, before connecting the appliance to the mains supply. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a

multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has

been built in.

This cooktop must not be installed and operated in mobile

installations (e.g. on a ship).

Do not open the casing of the appliance.

Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

Warning and Safety instructions

While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be

undertaken by a service technician authorised by Miele. Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.

The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance

when original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.

The cooktop is not intended for use with an external timer switch

or a remote control system.

The cooktop must be connected to the electrical supply by a

qualified electrician. If the electrical connection cable is faulty, it must be replaced with a special connection cable installed by a qualified electrician. See "Electrical connection".

The appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity

supply during installation, maintenance and repair work. Ensure that power is not supplied to the appliance until after it has been installed or until any maintenance or repair work has been carried out. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– the mains fuse is disconnected,

– the screw-out fuse is removed

(in countries where this is applicable),

– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from

the socket, or it is switched off at the isolator.

If the cooktop is fitted with a communication module, in addition

to disconnecting the cooktop, this module must also be disconnected from the mains electricity during installation and maintenance of the cooktop as well as while any repair work is being carried out.

Warning and Safety instructions

Danger of electric shock.

Do not use the cooktop if it is faulty, or if the ceramic surface is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Switch it off immediately, and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or

other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the

appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fat. If oil or fat does catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with water. Disconnect the appliance from the mains and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.

Do not flambé under a rangehood. The flames could set the

rangehood on fire.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can

ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances in a drawer under the cooktop. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

Do not heat an empty pan.

Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the cooktop, as

pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode.

Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth or

protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the appliance is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.

When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food

blender, near the appliance, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot come into contact with the hot appliance. The insulation on the cable could become damaged.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high

temperatures and could catch fire.

If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may

only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the door whilst the cooktop in use or whilst there is any residual heat present.

Warning and Safety instructions

The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while

after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat indicators go out.

You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. Protect your hands

with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.

When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by

mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of any metal items left on the cooktop heating up, with the danger of burning. Depending on the material, other items left on the cooktop could also melt or catch fire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult to dislodge. Do not use the appliance as a resting place. Switch the cooking zones off after use.

Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or

aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot, as they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, switch off the appliance and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the cooktop whilst still hot using a shielded scraper blade. Wear oven gloves. Allow the cooking zones to cool down and then clean them with a suitable ceramic cooktop cleaning agent.

Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do

not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.

Do not use pots or pans on the cooktop with bases with

pronounced edges or ridges. These could scratch or scour the ceramic glass surface permanently. Only use pots and pans with smooth bases.

Warning and Safety instructions

Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place will

cause scuffs and scratches.

Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables)

can cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that the ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.

Even a light object could cause damage in certain

circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.

Do not place hot objects on the control field as this could cause

damage to the electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the touch display.

Do not use the appliance 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.

The following factors can cause the area around the control panel

and the frame or edges of the cooktop to become hot: The length of time the cooktop has been used for, using it on high settings, using large pans, and the number of zones in use at any one time.

Pots and pans made of aluminium or with an aluminium base can

leave a metallic sheen on the cooktop. This can be removed with the Original Miele ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner (see "Cleaning and care").

To prevent the risk of spillages etc. burning on, remove any

soiling as quickly as possible and ensure that pan bases are clean, dry and free of grease.

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.

The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. If handled or disposed of incorrectly they could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. Please do not dispose of your appliance with household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your Chartered Agent for advice.

Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the "After sales service" section of this booklet.

Cleaning for the first time

^ Remove any protective wrapping and adhesive labels.

^ Before using for the first time, clean the appliance with a

damp cloth only and then wipe dry.

Before using for the first time

On cooktops with bevelled glass edges, a small gap may be visible between the cooktop and the worktop during the first few days after installation. This gap will reduce with time as the appliance is used and will not affect the electrical safety of your appliance.

The metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight smell when heated up for the first time.

The smell and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance, and neither are they hazardous to health.
