7

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety with children

As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when the cooktop is used by children.

Do not leave children unattended: Children should not be alone or unsupervised in the area where the appliance is installed. Do not allow them to sit or stand on the appliance.

Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the cooktop unless they are constantly supervised.

Children over 8 years of age may only use the cooktop unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way. Children must be able to understand and recognize the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation.

Children must not be allowed to clean the cooktop without supervision.

Be sure to supervise any children in the vicinity of the cooktop, and do not let them play with it.

8

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.

Do not carry or lift the range by the oven door handle or the control panel!

Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so. Service work may only be performed by a qualified technician.

Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the cooktop for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is damaged.

Reliable and safe operation of the cooktop can only be guaranteed if it is connected to the public power supply.

The electrical safety of the range can only be guaranteed when it is properly grounded. Compliance with this essential safety requirement is absolutely mandatory. If in any doubt, please have the building's wiring system inspected by a qualified electrician.

Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been installed correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified technician.

For safety reasons, the cooktop may only be used when it has been fully installed.

To avoid damaging the range, make sure that the connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the building's power supply before connecting the appliance.

When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Installation and maintenance of the gas connection must be performed by qualified installers, service agencies or gas providers.

9

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use a power strip or extension cord to connect the range to electricity. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required level of appliance safety.

This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical components of the range will endanger your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions.

Do not open the appliance housing under any circumstances.

Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized service technician will void the warranty.

Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.

During installation, maintenance and repair work, e.g. if the oven lighting is broken, the range must be completely disconnected from the household electricity supply (see“Frequently asked questions”). The gas inlet valve must be closed. It is only completely isolated from the supply when:

–The circuit breakers have been switched off, or

–the fuses of the electrical installation have been completely removed, or

–the plug (if present) is removed from the socket. To do this, pull the plug not the cord.

–Shut off the gas supply and disconnect the range from the gas supply. Installation and maintenance of the gas connection must be performed by qualified installers, service agencies or gas providers.

10

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Danger of electric shock.

If the cooktop is defective, immediately turn the appliance off and discontinue use. Disconnect it from the electricity and gas supply. Contact Technical Service.

If the range is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the door while the appliance is in operation. Heat and moisture can build up behind the closed door and cause damage to the range and to the surrounding cabinets and flooring. Do not close the door until the appliance has completely cooled down.

Reaching over a hot cooktop to access the cabinets can result in burns. You can reduce the risk of burns by installing a range hood that extends at least 4 3/4" (12 cm) past the bottom of the cabinets.

11

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct use

Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking on high power. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter, which can ignite on the cooktop.

Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water.

Turn off the cooktop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable fire blanket.

Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing agent or foam fire extinguisher.

Never store flammable liquids and materials in, above or under an oven, or near cooking surfaces.

The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire. Do not flambé under a ventilation hood.

Never heat empty cookware.

Do not heat or can food in closed containers, such as tins or sealed jars, on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the container and cause it to explode.

If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the cover will ignite, explode or melt if the cooktop is still hot or if turned on inadvertently. Never cover the cooktop with a board, cloth or protective sheet.

When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near the cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into contact with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation could become damaged.

Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high temperatures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum foil cookware.

12

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time after being turned off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a possibility that it could still be hot.

You can burn yourself on a hot cooktop. When cooking on the appliance, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders or oven mitts. Only use dry pot holders or gloves. Wet or damp textiles conduct heat more effectively and produce steam, which poses a burn hazard. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the gas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, dish towels or other similar materials.

When the appliance is turned on inadvertently or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is a risk of the metal items heating up. Other materials can melt or catch fire when the appliance is switched on. Do not store items on the cooktop.

A range hood installed above the cooktop can become damaged or catch fire as a result of intense heat. Do not use the gas burners without cookware.

When in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat, which can cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire.

Never use the cooktop to heat the room.

Only light the gas burners after all burner parts have been properly assembled.

If the cookware is too small, it will not sit properly on the burner grate. If the cookware is too large, heat emitted from the bottom of the cookware may damage the countertop, walls with poor heatresistance (e.g. paneled walls) or portions of the cooktop.

Make sure that the burner flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware and rise up its sides.

Only use cookware with a thick enough bottom. Failure to do so may result in damage to the cooktop.

Always use the burner grates supplied with the cooktop. Never place cookware directly on the burner.

13

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Remove all grease splatters and other flammable (food) residues on the cooktop. They are a fire hazard.

Install the burner grates in an upright position to avoid scratching the cooktop.

Do not use pots or pans that are large enough to cover several burners. The resulting heat buildup can damage the appliance.

If the cooktop has not been used for a long period of time, be sure to thoroughly clean it and have it inspected by an authorized technician before using it again.

Using of a gas cooktop causes heat, moisture and products of combustion to build up in the room in which it is installed. Make sure that your kitchen is well ventilated, especially when the appliance is in use: keep any natural means of ventilation open or install a mechanical ventilation system (e.g. a ventilation hood).

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 ventilation on the highest setting.

Ask your installer to show you the location of your gas shutoff valve and fuses or circuit breaker panel in your apartment or home. Be sure that you know how and where to disconnect the gas and power supply to your cooktop.

Ensure that the igniters are clean and dry to allow the burners to ignite and burn properly.

Fire hazard! Loose-fitting or hanging garments can catch fire. Be sure to wear appropriately fitting clothing when cooking. Never allow loose clothing or flammable materials to come into contact with the burners while the burners are in use.

When you have finished cooking, make sure that the burners and oven are turned off by checking the position of the knobs.

14

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The grates, burner cap, bottom parts of the burner, and any other parts located near the burner flame, can still be very hot after cooking and cause burns. Do not touch these components when using the cooktop.

Wind can blow curtains over the cooktop, causing them to catch fire. If the cooktop is installed near a window, do not use long curtains.

Only certain types of glass, ceramic or other enamel cookware can be used on a gas cooktop without breaking as a result of sudden temperature changes.

Do not use cooking utensils on the grill.

Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if they are used to wipe spilled food off a hot burner. Some cleansers can emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be careful when cleaning the cooktop.

Cleaning and maintenance

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.

The steam may reach electrical components and cause a short

circuit.
