Correct usage
The appliance is intended for do-
mestic use to cook food, and in
particular to boil, simmer or fry. Any
other usage is at the owner’s risk and
could be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for damage
caused by improper use of the appliance.
Technical safety
Before connecting the appliance
to the mains supply make sure that
the voltage and frequency correspond
to the rating on the data plate. Consult
a competent person if in doubt.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system, which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system.
This appliance must only be oper-
ated as a built-in appliance. This is
necessary to ensure that all electrical
components are shielded.
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons to ensure safety. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be dangerous.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
– or the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions
Use
Caution, danger of burning.
High temperatures are produced by
the hob cooking areas.
Do not let small children touch the
appliance during operation. Not
only do the cooking areas of the ceramic hob heat up, but also the control
panel. Danger of burning. Keep all
pans out of the reach of children.
Supervise use of the hob by the elderly
or infirm.
Ceramic hobs
When switched on, the cooking
areas heat up extremely quickly.
The residual heat indicators will show
whether a cooking area is switched on,
or is still hot.
Only for Halogen hobs
Do not stare at halogen cooking
areas when heating if there is no pan in
place.
This could cause damage to the eyes.
In the event of any breakages or
cracks occuring in the ceramic
hob it must be switched off immediately and disconnected from the electricity supply.
Contact the Miele Service Department.
Do not use the hob as a resting
place for anything else. This could
lead to a danger of the article catching
fire, if the hob were to be switched on
inadvertently.
Do not drop anything on the ce-
ramic hob.
Dropping a salt cellar, for example,
could be the cause of damage in certain circumstances.
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get onto the ceramic hob
when it is hot.
If this should occur do not switch the
appliance off. Scrape all the sugar,
plastic, or aluminium remains from the
hob with a shielded razor blade
scraper taking care not to burn yourself.
If this is allowed to cool before the hob
has been cleaned, the ceramic surface
will be susceptible to pitting or even
cracking.
Do not use any pots or pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with pronounced edges or ridges.
These could scratch or scour the hob
surface permanently.
Do not push enamelled pots or
pans such as chip pans across the
ceramic hob as this can cause scratches to occur.
Do not use the hob until the damaged
ceramic plate has been replaced. Continued use would be dangerous as
liquids etc. boiling over could penetrate the electrical components through
the crack.

Warning and Safety instructions
General
Under no circumstances use a
steam-cleaning appliance to clean
the ceramic hob. The steam could
penetrate to live components and
cause a short circuit.
Do not leave the appliance unat-
tended when cooking with oils and
fats as these are fire hazards if overheated.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers.
These melt at higher temperatures and
could damage the ceramic surface.
Do not use the ceramic hob to
heat up the room.
The high temperatures of the hob could
cause inflammable objects in the vicinity to burn.
When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the ceramic hob ensure that the cable cannot
touch a heated hob or pan.
Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount
of food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cooking container.
Some foods may contain micro organisms which are only destroyed by
thorough cooking, therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is
particulary important that the food is
fully cooked through. If in doubt select
a longer cooking or reheating time.
It is essential to ensure that food
has been evenly and sufficiently
heated, and to check that it is thoroughly cooked, turning or stirring during cooking if necessary.
