IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation and connection

When using your appliance, follow
basic safety precautions including
the following:

Read all instructions before using
for the first time.

Be certain your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by

a qualified technician.

To guarantee the electrical safety

of this appliance, continuity must
exist between the appliance and an
effective grounding system. It is
imperative that this basic safety
requirement be met. If there is any
doubt, have the electrical system of the
house checked by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for damages caused
by the lack, or inadequacy of, an
effective grounding system.

Do not connect the appliance to

the main electrical supply using an
extension cord. Extension cords do not
meet the safety requirements of this
appliance.

Before servicing, disconnect the

power supply by either removing
the fuse, unplugging the unit or
manually "tripping" the circuit breaker.

Correct usage

Do not operate the appliance until
it is properly installed in the

countertop.

This appliance is intended for
residential use only.

Use the appliance only for its

intended purpose. The
manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damages caused by
improper use of the grill.

Never use the appliance to warm

or heat the room.

The water trough must be full when

using the appliance. To avoid spills
do not fill above the indication mark.

Do not switch on the appliance

when the heating element is raised.

nearest Miele Dealer or the Miele
Technical Service Department with
specific requirements.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Protection from damage

Do not use any type of aluminium

products including pots, pans, and
foil on the grill. Aluminium will cause
overheating and may damage the grill
grate.

Do not drop anything on the

ceramic surface. Even a light
object could cause damage in certain
circumstances.

Do not use a steam cleaner to

clean the appliance. Steam could
penetrate electrical components and
cause a short circuit.

Protection from burns

The appliance becomes very hot

when in use. Make sure that no one
comes in contact with it. The heating
element and grate may be hot even
though they are dark in color.

Do not store toys or items of

interest to children in cabinets
above or behind the appliance.
Children climbing onto the grill to reach
these items may become seriously
injured.

Do not allow children to operate or

play with, or near, the grill.

Use only dry, heat resistant pot-

holders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces can result in
steam burns. Do not let the potholder
touch the hot heating element. Do not
use towels or other bulky items near the
appliance.

Be awrare of loose fitting or

hanging garments when operating
the cooktop, they may present a fire
hazard.

Do not heat unopened food

containers. Built-up pressure may
cause the container to burst and result
in injury.

Do not store items on the grill when

not in use.

Do not let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate
on the appliance.

Do not leave the appliance

unattended while in use.
Overheated food can ignite.

Extinguish flames immediately.

Replace the lava rocks regularly.

Rocks saturated with oil or fat
catch fire easily. The grill trough and the
lava rock container should be cleaned
after each use to keep them free of oil
and fat.

Never put water or ice on to a hot

grill. This can cause a serious
reaction leading to injury.

Do not use water on grease fires.

Smother any fire or flame, or use a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Do not store aerosols,

combustibles and/or any other
easily flammable materials underneath
or adjacent to the grill.
