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:

Persons which lack ability, experience or knowledge of the machine must be supervised or instructed by a responsible person.

Installation

Be certain your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with national and local safety regulations. All electrical work should be completed by a licensed electrician, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations and standards. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by an incorrect installation or connection.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Never open the outer casing of the

appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is dangerous and can cause machine damage.

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 is

properly installed in the countertop. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.

This appliance is equipped with an

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

If the cooktop is installed above a

pyrolytic oven it should not be used during the pyrolytic process. The overheating protection of the cooktop might be activated.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Child Safety

Use the Child Safety Lock to

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

Children should not be left alone or

unattended in an area where a cooktop is in use. Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop.

Do not allow children to operate or

play with the appliance.

The burners become very hot

when in use and during the cool down phase. Keep children away from the cooktop.

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. Danger of burning!

Keep all pots and pans out of

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

Before discarding an old

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Damage protection

Do not drop anything on the

ceramic surface of the cooktop. Even lightweight objects could cause damage to the ceramic glass pane.

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 also scratch. Make sure that the bases of any pots and pans are clean, free of any fat or oils and are dry.

Do not allow solid or liquid sugar,

or 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 could occur. If sugar, plastic or foil gets on the ceramic surface, turn the cooktop off. Clean the surface immediately with a shielded scraper blade while still hot. Caution: Danger of burns! Clean the burners throughly when cooled.

Do not use a steam cleaner to

clean this appliance. Pressurized steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility.

Never place hot pots or pans over

the touch controls, as the underlying electronics may be damaged.

If a drawer is installed beneath the

cooktop, a sufficient distance between the contents of the drawer and the bottom of the cooktop must exist. Otherwise the venting of the cooktop is not guaranteed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Personal safety

When in use, the appliance may

become very hot and remain so for a while after the cooktop has been turned off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat indicators go out.

Use potholders when working with

a hot appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces can result in steam burns.

Do not heat unopened food cans

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

Do not place objects other than

pots and pans on the cooktop. Be especially careful not to place knives, forks or spoons etc, or other metallic items on the cokktop. If the cooktop is switched on, or if there is residual heat present, the metallic items can heat up and cause burning. Remember that metallic items can cause the burner to heat up unintentionally! Depending on material, other non-metallic items can melt or burn if placed on the cooktop. Switch the cooktop off after use.

Never cover the cooktop with a

cloth or foil. Danger of fire!

Never leave the cooktop

unattended when cooking with oil or fat. Overheated fat or oil could ignite and set the venting hoods on fire. Always heat oil slowly, monitoring it as it heats. This is a fire hazard.

Do not use water on grease fires. Smother any fire or flame, or use a

dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Do not flambé under an exhaust

hood. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction or the grease filter may ignite.

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.

Be aware of loose fitting or hanging

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

When frying food make sure that

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

To prevent burns and breathing

difficulty, allow the cooktop to cool before cleaning. Some cleaners may produce toxic fumes if apllied 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Appliance safety

In the event of damage or a defect,

turn off the appliance immediately, isolate it from the main power supply. If the appliance has a plug, pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug not the cord. Contact the Miele Technical Ser vice Department. Ensure that power is not supplied to the appliance during maintenance or repair work.

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.

While the appliance is under

warranty repairs should only be performed by an authorized service technician. Otherwise the warranty is void.

Further safety notes

Only for persons with a

pacemaker: Please be advised, that in close proximity of the turned on cooktop an electromagnetic field exists. An interference of the pacemaker is not likely. However, if in doubt consult your doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer.

Take care that the cookware is

placed in the middle of the burner to cover the electromagnetic field.

Make certain that the power cords

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

Magnetizable items like credit

cards, disks, calculators should not be placed onto or next to the turned on cooktop. They may be damaged.

If there is a drawer directly

underneath the appliance 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, they must be made of a heat-resistant material.
