Warning and safety instructions

Technical safety

Before installation, check the

~

appliance for visible signs of damage.
Do not install and use a damaged
appliance. A damaged appliance is
dangerous.

The electrical safety of this

~

appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with current
local and national safety regulations. It
is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and tested
regularly and where there is any doubt,
the household wiring system should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Before connecting the appliance to

~

the mains supply, make sure that the
voltage and frequency details given on
the data plate correspond to the on-site
electricity supply, otherwise the
appliance could be damaged. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

The connection to the gas supply

~

must be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person in strict
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations, e. g. a
qualified gas fitter. If the appliance is
supplied without a plug, or if the plug is
removed, it must be connected to the
mains electricity supply by a suitably
qualified and competent electrician in
strict accordance with current local and
national safety regulations. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage caused by incorrect
installation or connection.

For safety reasons, this appliance

~

may only be used when it has been
built in.

Never open the outer casing of the

~

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

Installation, maintenance and

~

repairs may only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
national and local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. Miele
cannot be held liable for unauthorised
work.

9

Warning and safety instructions

The gas cooktop must be

~

disconnected from the gas supply and
mains electricity before repairs and
maintenance work is 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.

While the appliance is under

~

warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by Miele. Otherwise the
warranty will be invalidated.

Faulty components must only be

~

replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.

Do not connect the appliance to the

~

mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).

This appliance is not intended to be

~

operated by means of an external timer
or separate remote control system.

Do not use the gas cooktop if it is

~

faulty. Switch it off immediately,
disconnect it from the mains electricity
and the gas supply, and call Miele.

In 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 caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the warranty.

If the connection cable is damaged,

~

it must be replaced by a suitably
qualified electrician with a special
connection cable of type H 05 VV-F
(pvc insulated), available from Miele.

10

Warning and safety instructions

Correct use

The appliance gets hot when in use

~

and remains hot for quite a while after
being switched off. Do not touch it
whilst it could still be hot.

When using a rangehood over the

~

cooktop, ensure that the burner is
always covered with a pan when in use.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the rangehood, parts of
which could then be damaged or even
set on fire.

Do not leave the cooktop

~

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 cooktop 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.

Do not flambé under a rangehood.

~

The flames could set the rangehood on
fire.

Do not use the appliance as a

~

resting place for anything else. The
article could melt or catch fire if
residual heat is still present or if the
appliance is switched on by mistake.

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 use plastic or aluminium foil

~

containers. These melt at high
temperatures, and could catch fire.

Do not heat up unopened tins of

~

food on the cooktop as pressure will
build up in the tin, causing it to
explode. This could result in injury and
scalding or damage.

For added protection, it is advisable

~

to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance.
Ensure that they do not come into
contact with the flames. Do not use
large cloths, tea towels or similar as the
ends could touch the flames and catch
fire.
Take care not to let these items get
damp or wet as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more
quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.

Make sure all the components of the

~

gas burners have been correctly
assembled before switching on.

11

Warning and safety instructions

Pans must be the correct size for the

~

burner they are used on (see "Pans"). A
pan which is too small will be unstable
on the pan support. If the pan diameter
is too large, flames can spread out to
the sides and damage or burn the
worktop, wall claddings or surrounding
units and also parts of the cooktop.
Miele will not accept liability for any
damage resulting from such incorrect
use.

Ensure that the flames from the

~

burner do not spread out beyond the
base and up the sides of the pan.

Unless the pan manufacturer states

~

that you can do so, do not use pans
with very thin bases on this cooktop,
and never heat up empty pans as they
could get damaged. This could also
damage the appliance.

The pan support supplied with the

~

appliance must always be used. Never
place a pan on the burner itself.

Using the gas cooktop will cause a

~

build-up of heat and moisture in the
room in which it is installed. Ensure that
the room has sufficient natural or
mechanical means of ventilation, e.g. a
rangehood.

If the cooktop is used for very long

~

periods of time, additional ventilation of
the room may be necessary, e.g. by
opening windows or doors, or running
the rangehood on the highest setting.

When using an electrical appliance,

~

e.g. a hand-held mixer, near the gas
cooktop, ensure that the connection
cable doesn't come into contact with
the hot cooktop. The insulation on the
cable could become damaged, giving
rise to an electric shock hazard.

Do not use or store flammable

~

materials in the appliance storage
drawer or near this appliance. Cutlery
inserts must be heat-resistant.

Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity

~

of this appliance while it is in operation.

Remove splashes of fat and other

~

food debris from the surface as soon as
possible. These are a fire hazard.

Replace the pan supports carefully

~

to avoid scratching the surface of the
cooktop.

12

Warning and safety instructions

Avoid allowing liquids or foods

~

containing salt to spill onto the cooktop.
If salty foods or liquids do get on the
cooktop, they should be removed as
soon as possible to avoid the risk of
corrosion.

If the cooktop is built-in behind a

~

furniture door, it must only be operated
when the door is open.
Close the furniture door only once the
appliance has been switched off and
the residual heat indicators have gone
out.

If the appliance has not been used

~

for a long period of time it should be
thoroughly cleaned before it is used
again. It is also advisable to have the
appliance tested by a qualified person
for safety.

Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.

13

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 can normally be recycled.

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.

Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance
or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances /
machines 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 or machine. Therefore,
please do not dispose of your old
machine or appliance with your
household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

14

It should be unplugged from the mains
electricity supply and disconnected
from the gas supply by a competent
person.
The plug must be rendered useless
and the cable cut off directly behind the
appliance or the machine to prevent
misuse.

Please adhere 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 foil and

^

adhesive labels.

Clean all removable parts of the

^

burners with a solution of warm water
and a small amount of washing-up
liquid applied with a soft sponge. Dry
all parts thoroughly after cleaning
and then reassemble the burners
(see "Cleaning and care - burners").

^ Clean the stainless steel trough with

a damp cloth, and then wipe dry.

Before using for the first time

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 will
dissipate after a short time, and do
not indicate a faulty connection or
appliance.
