Correct usage
The appliance is intended for domestic 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.

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 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.
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 ceramic 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 alumi-
nium 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 pro-
nounced 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.

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 unattended 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 ce-
ramic hob ensure that the cable cannot touch a heated hob or pan.
Always ensure that food is sufficiently 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.
