Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

Caring for the environment

Disposal of your old machine / appliance

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are offered for recycling.

Data plate

When the appliance has been built in the data plate is no longer visible. A further data plate label is supplied with the appliance. For easy reference stick the label into this booklet under "After sales service".

Old machines / appliances contain materials which can be reclaimed or recycled. Please contact your dealer, your local waste collection centre or scrap merchant about potential recycling schemes.

Ensure that the machine / appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

See the appropriate section in the Warning and Safety instructions.

Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.

Before installation and before using the appliance for the first time, read the operating instructions carefully. They contain important notes on safety, on the operation and care of the appliance. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance. Do not let children access the appliance or its controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.

Correct usage

The appliance is intended for do-

mestic use to cook food, and in particular to heat up, 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 connection data given on the data plate correspond to those of the mains supply. It is essential that these data match, to avoid any damage to the appliance. 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.

Never open the casing of the ap-

pliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

Warning and Safety instructions

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 isolator, – or the mains fuse is withdrawn, – or the screw-out fuse is removed

(in countries where this is applic-

able).

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.

The hob may not be built in over a

dishwasher or fridge, fridgefreezer or freezer. The high radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by the hob could damage such appliances.

If the hob is built in above an oven,

the connecting cable of the hob must be positioned in such a way that it cannot come into contact with the oven housing.

Use

Caution, danger of burning. High temperatures are produced by the hob cooking zones

Do not let small children touch the

appliance during operation. Not only do the cooking zones of the 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 and infirm.

When switched on the cooking

zones heat up. The residual heat indicators will show whether a cooking zone is switched on, or is still hot.

Do not leave the appliance unat-

tended when cooking with oils and fats as these are fire hazards if overheated.

Do not use the hob to heat up the

room. The high temperatures of the hob could cause inflammable objects in the vicinity to catch fire.

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.

Continued use would be dan-

gerous as liquids etc boiling over could penetrate the electrical components through the crack(s).

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not use the hob as a resting

place for anything else. This could lead to a danger of the article beginning to melt or catching fire, if the hob were to be switched on inadvertently.

nounced edges or ridges. These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently.

Do not use any pots or pans on the ceramic hob with bases with pro-

Take care to keep the touchpads

and the area around them clean and do not put things down on them. Hot pans can damage the electronics which are under the sensors. When cleaning the hob surface do not push the dirt across the touchpads. The sensors could mistake the article or dirt for a finger tip contact, thereby activating a function.

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 use plastic or aluminium foil

containers. These melt at higher temperatures and could damage the ceramic surface.

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 is allowed to cool before the hob has been cleaned, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even cracking. Switch the cooking zones off and while the hob is still warm, scrape all the sugar, plastic or aluminum remains from the hob with a shielded scraper blade taking care not to burn yourself.

If a drawer is fitted directly under-

neath the hob without any wooden base in between, ensure that no aerosols, combustible liquids or other easily flammable materials are kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be placed in the drawer, these must be made of suitable heat-resistant material.

When using kitchen appliances

connected to sockets near the ceramic hob ensure that the cable cannot touch a heated hob zone or pan. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

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 organisims which are only destroyed by thorough cooking, therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly important that food is fully cooked through (at more than 70 °C, for more than 10 minutes). If in doubt select a longer cooking or reheating time.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Under no circumstances use a

"steam cleaner" to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility.

There is a seal between the hob

frame and worktop and between the frame and the ceramic plate. Do not use any sharp pointed object, such as a knife, to clean these seals as they could become damaged.

In countries which may be subject

to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which might be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Disposal of a discarded appliance

Before discarding an old ap-

pliance / machine switch off and disconnect it from the power supply. Cut off and render any plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance / machine to prevent misuse.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by noncompliance with safety instructions.

Accessories

After using the shielded razor

blade scraper always ensure the blade is guarded to avoid the danger of injury.
