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.
9
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.
10
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.
11
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.
12
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.
13
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.
14
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.
15
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.
