Warning and Safety instructions
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on its installation, safety, use and maintenance.
The use of the appliance by the elderly or infirm or those who have not used the appliance before should be supervised by a competent and responsible person to avoid the risk of injury.
A data plate for your appliance is supplied with this documentation. It should be stuck into the space provided at the end of the instruction book.
Keep these instructions in a safe place for reference, and pass them on to any future user.
Technical safety
~The appliance must be installed and connected by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.
~The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~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 (e.g. danger of overheating).
16
Warning and Safety instructions
~Never open the casing of the appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections or components is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
~On hobs with bevelled glass edges a small gap may be visible between the hob and the worktop during the first few days after installation. This gap will reduce with time as the appliance is used and will not affect the electrical safety of your appliance.
Correct usage
~For safety reasons this appliance must only be operated after it has been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.
~This appliance is intended for domestic use only and is not to be used for commercial purposes.
~If the hob is built in over a pyrolitic oven, the hob should not be used whilst the pyrolitic process is being carried out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the hob (see relevant section).
~Use this appliance for the preparation of food only. Any other usage is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

~Use the safety lock to prevent children operating the appliance or altering the settings.
~The appliance is only intended for use by adults who have read these instructions.
~This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, keep children well away, and do not allow them to play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.
~Older children may use the appliance only when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
~The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the appliance at all times.
~Do not store anything which might arouse a child's interest in storage areas above or next to the appliance. Otherwise they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk of burning themselves.
~Keep all pans out of reach of children. Turn pan handles inwards away from the edge of the hob. Danger of burning or scalding. Special hob guards are available from good retail outlets.

Warning and Safety instructions
Protecting the appliance from damage
~Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a light object could cause damage in certain circumstances.
~Do not use pots or pans on the ceramic hob with bases with pronounced edges or or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans. These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently. Grains of salt and sand can also scratch.
~Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot. If this should occur, switch off the appliance, and carefully, scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the hob whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scaper blade. Take care not to burn yourself.
If residues are allowed to cool before being removed, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even cracking.
Clean the appliance once it has cooled down.
~Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam could attack the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to other components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability.
~Never place hot pans near the control area. This could damage the electronic unit underneath.
~This hob is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly underneath the hob, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the hob. Do not store small items or paper in the drawer. They could get in through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the housing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.
~In countries where there are areas 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 caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Warning and Safety instructions
Protection from burning and scalding
~The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat indicators go out.
~For added protection, it is advisable to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.
~Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob, as pressure will build up in the tin and it can explode. This could result in injury and scalding or damage.
~Do not use the appliance as a resting place for anything else. Take particular care never to place cutlery or other metal objects on the hob. When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of metal objects heating up, with a danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other objects left on the hob could also melt or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult to dislodge.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
~Do not cover the appliance, e.g. with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could be a fire hazard if the appliance is switched on by mistake.
~Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fat as these are fire hazards if overheated. Very hot oil can catch fire and could even set a cooker hood above on fire. Always heat fat slowly, watching as it heats.
~If, despite this, oil or fat does catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with water. Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
~Do not flambé under a cooker hood. The flames could set the cooker hood on fire.

Warning and Safety instructions
Appliance faults
~In the event of damage or a defect, switch off the appliance immediately. Disconnect completely from the electricity supply. If the appliance has not yet been fully installed, the electricity cable must be disconnected from the supply point. If connected via a plug and socket, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug. Contact the Miele Service Department.
Do not reconnect the appliance to the mains electricity supply until after it has been repaired.
~If there is any damage to the ceramic surface, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply immediately, and not used until it has been repaired. Danger of electric shock.
~Repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be very dangerous and could damage the appliance. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Never open the housing of the appliance.
~While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service engineer authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions
Futher safety notes
~For people fitted with a heart pacemaker:
Please note that the area immediately surrounding the hob is electromagnetically charged, and that this could affect a pacemaker.
If in any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor.
~Ensure pans are placed centrally over the cooking zone to prevent unnecessary exposure to the electromagnetic field.
~When using an electric socket near the appliance, care should be taken that the cable of the electrical appliance does not come into contact with the hot appliance. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.
~Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food and its temperature. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at a sufficiently high temperature for long enough. Therefore when cooking or reheating food such as poultry, it is particularly important the food is completely cooked through. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.
~Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high temperatures and could damage the ceramic surface. Fire hazard.
~To prevent damage to items which are susceptible to magnetic fields, e.g. credit cards, diskettes, pocket calculators etc, do not leave them in the immediate vicinity of the hob.
~Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances must not be stored in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
