IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP

WARNING -

This appliance is only intended for residential cooking. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage or injury caused by improper use or for uses other than those for which this appliance is intended.

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

Installation

Be certain your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with national and local safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.

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

appliance from the main power supply.

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 will not be held responsible for damages caused by the lack, or inadequacy, of an effective grounding system.

Only for frame/facet cooktops:

A small gap will be visible between cooktop and countertop for the first days after installation. The gap will decrease as the cooktop is used. The electrical safety of your appliance is warrantied despite the small gap.

Use

Do not use the appliance until it

has been properly installed in the countertop.

This appliance is equipped with an

overheating protection feature. See "Overheating protection" for more information.

Never use the appliance to heat a

room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the appliance could catch fire.

When the cooktop is turned on for

an extended period of time, the control panel may get warm. This is not a malfunction.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Injury prevention

Children should not be left

unattended in an area where the cooktop is in use. Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop. Caution: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the cooktop. Children climbing on the cooktop to reach these items could be injured.

Use the Safety Lock to prevent

children from turning on the cooking zones or changing the settings. See "Safety lock" for more information.

Keep all pots and pans out of the

reach of children. Danger of burning or scalding. Special cooktop/stove guards are available from retail outlets.

Do not touch the cooktop or the

surrounding areas during or immediately after use. The cooktop may be hot even though it is dark in color. Wait until the residual heat indicators go out.

Protect your hands with insulated

gloves or potholders when using the appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces can result in steam burns. Do not let the potholder touch the hot heating elements. Do not use towels or other bulky items near the appliance.

Be aware of loose fitting or hanging

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

Use the proper pan size. Select

cookware with flat bottoms large enough to cover the heating element. Using undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element and may result in ignition of clothing or handles becoming hot. The proper size pot or pan will also improve efficiency.

Pot and pan handles should be

turned inward and not extend over the countertop to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spills.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Never leave a cooktop unattended

at high settings or when cooking with oil or fat. Overheated oil could ignite. Always heat oil slowly, monitoring it as it heats.

Do not use water on grease fires.

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

When frying food make sure that

the food is as dry as possible before placing it in oil. Moisture can cause hot oil to splatter and boil over. At high settings, be cautious of splattering grease or boiling over liquids which may produce smoke.

Do not flambé under an exhaust

hood. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction and the grease filters may ignite.

Do not heat unopened containers.

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

Before removing pots and pans be

sure to turn off the burners.

To prevent burns and breathing

difficulty, allow the cooktop to cool before cleaning. Some cleaners may produce toxic fumes if applied to a hot surface.

When wiping spills on a hot

cooktop with a wet sponge or cloth, be careful to avoid steam burns.

Do not let flammable materials,

i.e. cooking grease, accumulate on the appliance.

Never cover the cooktop with a

cloth. A fire may result.

Do not store items on the cooktop

when not in use. Items could melt or catch fire from residual heat or if the cooktop is turned on inadvertently.

Flammable materials should not be

stored on or near the appliance.

If there is a drawer directly

underneath the appliance without a protective base between it and the cooktop, ensure that no aerosols, combustible liquids or other flammable materials are kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be placed in the drawer they must be made of heat-resistant material.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Damage protection

Never place hot pots or pans over the touch controls, this may

damage the electronics.

Do not drop anything on the

ceramic surface of the cooktop. Even lightweight objects may cause damage.

Do not use pots or pans with

pronounced edges or ridges on the ceramic cooktop. These could scratch the cooktop permanently. See "Selecting cookware" for more information. Grains of salt and sand can cause scratches. Make sure that the bases of any pots and pans are clean, free of any fat or oils and are dry.

To prevent damage to the cooktop

do not use pots and pans with thin bases on the cooktop. Never heat an empty pan unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so.

Do not allow either solid or liquid

sugar, pieces of plastic or foil to fall on the burners when they are hot. If these residues are allowed to cool on the ceramic surface pitting or even cracking may occur.

Any spills should be removed as

quickly as possible to prevent them from burning on and becoming difficult to remove.

Do not use a steam cleaner to

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

Before using glass, glass/ceramic,

ceramic, earthenware or other glazed cookware verify that they can be used on a cooking surface.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Appliance safety

In the event of any damage to the

appliance, it must be turned off immediately and disconnected from the main power supply. Call Miele’s Technical Service Department. Do not use the appliance until it has been repaired. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until repair work is completed.

Do not cook on a broken cooktop.

Any breakages or cracks in the ceramic surface of the appliance are defects and must be treated as such. If the cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spills may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Do not use the appliance until it has been repaired.

Repairs should only be performed

by qualified technicians to ensure safety. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Under no circumstances open the outer casing of the appliance.

Further safety notes

Make certain that the power cords

of small appliances do not come in contact with the cooktop. The insulation of the cable could become damaged. Danger of electric shock!

Do not use plastic or aluminum.

They will melt at high temperatures. Fire hazard!

If a pet gets on the cooktop a

touch control sensor could be activated turning on a burner. Keep pets away from the cooktop at all times and activate the Safety Lock.

The smell will dissipate after a short time and does not indicate a faulty connection or appliance defect.

Touch controls

This cooktop has electronic controls activated by the touch of a finger. There is a separate touch control for each burner. A tone sounds to indicate that contact has been made with a control.
