 This hob is intended for domestic use and use in other similar

environments.

 This hob is not intended for outdoor use.

 It is intended for domestic use only to cook food and keep it

warm. Any other use is not supported by the manufacturer and could

be dangerous.

 This hob is not intended for use by people with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge,

unless they have been given supervision and instruction concerning

its use by a person responsible for their safety. They may only use

the hob unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a

safe way. They must be able to recognise and understand the

dangers of misuse.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the hob

unless they are constantly supervised.

 Children over 8years of age may use the hob without supervision

if its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able

to use it safely. Children must be able to understand and recognise

the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation.

 Children must not be allowed to clean the hob unsupervised.

 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the hob and do not let

them play with it.

 The hob gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after

being switched off. Keep children well away from the hob until it has

cooled down and there is no danger of burning.

 Danger of burning! Do not store anything which might arouse a

child's interest in storage areas above or behind the hob. Otherwise

they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk

of burning themselves.

 Risk of burning and scalding. Place pots and pans on the cooking

zone in such a way that children cannot pull them down and burn

themselves.

 Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be

kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children

could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and

suffocate.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause

considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and

repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.

 Damage to the hob can compromise your safety. Check the hob

for visible signs of damage. Do not use the hob if it is damaged.

 Reliable and safe operation of this hob can only be assured if it

has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

 The electrical safety of this hob can only be guaranteed when

correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement

is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by

a qualified electrician.

 To avoid the risk of damage to the hob, make sure that the

connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the

mains electricity supply before connecting it to the mains.

Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

 Do not connect the hob to the mains electrical supply by a multi-

socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not

guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

 For safety reasons, this hob may only be used after it has been

built in.

 This hob must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a

ship).

 Never open the casing of the hob.

Touching or tampering with electrical connections or components

and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause

operational faults.

 While the hob is under warranty, repairs should only be

undertaken by a Miele authorised technician. Otherwise the warranty

is invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions

 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when

genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty

components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.

 The hob is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a

remote control system.

 The connection to the gas supply must be carried out by a

suitably qualified gas fitter (see “Installation – Gas connection”).

If the plug has been removed from the connection cable or the

connection cable is not supplied with a plug, the hob must be

connected to the electricity supply by a suitably qualified electrician

(see “Installation – Electrical connection”).

 If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced

with a special mains connection cable by a qualified electrician (see

“Electrical connection” in the “Installation” chapter).

 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the hob must be

disconnected from the mains electricity supply. The gas supply must

also be shut off. Depending on country this is done in one of several

different ways:

- the mains fuse has been disconnected, or

- the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is

applicable), or

- switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug from the

socket. Pull by the plug and not by the mains connection cable to

disconnect from the mains electricity supply.

- the gas inlet valve is closed.

 Danger of electric shock!

Do not use the hob if it is damaged or if it suffers damage during

use. Switch it off immediately. Disconnect it from the mains

electricity and gas supply. Call your Miele dealer.

Warning and Safety instructions

 If the hob is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the door

while the hob is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the

closed door. This can result in damage to the hob, the housing unit

and the floor. Leave the furniture door open until the hob has cooled

down completely.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

 The hob gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time after

being switched off. Do not touch the hob if there is a possibility that

it could still be hot.

 Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the hob

when it is in use could catch fire.

Do not use the hob to heat up the room.

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

unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not

attempt to put the flames out with water.

Disconnect the hob from the mains and use a suitable fire blanket,

saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.

 Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used. It should

be continually monitored whilst boiling and flash frying.

 Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do

not flambé under a cooker hood.

 Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can

ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances

in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

 Do not heat an empty pan.

 Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars

on the hob, as pressure can build up in the container, causing it to

explode.

 Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective

foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the hob is

switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.

 If the appliance is switched on by mistake, or if there is residual

heat present, there is the risk of any metal items placed on the hob

heating up. Other materials can melt or catch fire. Do not use the

appliance as a resting place for anything.

Warning and Safety instructions

 You could burn yourself on the hot hob. 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 on steam. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the

gas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, tea towels or other similar

materials.

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

near the hob, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot

come into contact with the hot hob. The insulation on the cable

could become damaged.

 Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the hob.

 When a control knob is pressed down, a spark is generated on the

ignitor. Do not press down the control knob while you are cleaning or

touching the hob or a burner in the vicinity of an ignitor.

 If a cooker hood is installed above the hob, ensure that the

burners are always covered with a pan when in use. Otherwise

flames could reach the cooker hood, parts of which could then be

damaged or even set on fire.

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

assembled.

 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 hob. Miele cannot be held

liable for this type of damage.

 Ensure that the flames from the burner do not spread out beyond

the base and up the sides of the pan.

Warning and Safety instructions

 Do not use pans with very thin bases on this hob, 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.

 Replace the pan supports carefully to avoid scratching the surface

of the hob.

 Do not use or store flammable materials near this hob.

 Remove splashes of fat and other food debris from the surface of

the hob as soon as possible. These are a fire hazard.

 Avoid allowing liquids or foods containing salt to spill onto the

hob. If salty foods or liquids do get on the hob, they should be

removed as soon as possible to avoid the risk of corrosion.

 Using the hob 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 cooker hood.

 If the hob 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 cooker hood on the highest setting.

 Do not use roasting dishes, pans or grilling stones that are large

enough to cover more than one burner. The resulting build-up of

heat could damage the hob.

 If the hob 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

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

The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short

circuit.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing

material

The packaging is designed to protect

the appliance from damage during

transportation. The packaging materials

used are 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.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances

often contain valuable materials. They

also 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. Please

do not therefore dispose of it with your

household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection / recycling

centre or contact your Miele dealer for

advice.

Ensure that it presents no danger to

children while being stored for disposal.
