Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carried out by
~
a Miele-authorised person. Installation, maintenance and repairs by
unqualified persons could be dangerous.
A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check the appliance
~
for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if
~
correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is
any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician.
To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the
~
connection data (frequency and voltage) on the data plate
corresponds to the household supply, before connecting the
appliance to the mains supply.
Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
~
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These are a fire hazard
and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
~
been built in.
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
~
on a ship).
Do not open the casing of the appliance.
~
Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.

Warning and Safety instructions
While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be
~
undertaken by a service technician authorised by Miele. Otherwise
the guarantee is invalidated.
The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance
~
when original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.
The hob is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a
~
remote control system.

~
controls as specified by Miele for use with that hob.
The manufacturer cannot guarantee trouble-free operation if the
appliance is operated in combination with appliances other than
those quoted by the manufacturer as being suitable.

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

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the
~
appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fat.
If oil or fat does catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with
water. Disconnect the appliance from the mains and use a suitable
fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the
flames.
Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do
~
not flambé under a cooker hood.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
~
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or
substances in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be
heat-resistant.
Do not heat an empty pan.
~
Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob, as pressure will
~
build up in the tin, causing it to explode.
Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective
~
foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the appliance is
switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food
~
blender, near the appliance, ensure that the cable of the electrical
appliance cannot come into contact with the hot appliance. The
insulation on the cable could become damaged.
Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.
~
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the hob.
If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may
~
only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the door
whilst the hob in use or whilst there is any residual heat present.

Warning and Safety instructions
The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
~
after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the
residual heat indicators go out.
You could burn yourself on the hot hob. Protect your hands with
~
heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.
When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by
~
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of
any metal items left on the hob heating up, with the danger of
burning.
Depending on the material, other items left on the hob could also
melt or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult
to dislodge.
Do not use the appliance as a resting place.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or
~
aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot, as
they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this
should occur, switch off the appliance and scrape off all the sugar,
plastic or aluminium residues from the hob whilst still hot, using a
shielded scraper blade. Wear oven gloves.
Allow the cooking zones to cool down and then clean them with a
suitable ceramic hob cleaning agent.
Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
~
not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.
Do not use pots or pans on the hob with bases with pronounced
~
edges or ridges. These could scratch or scour the ceramic glass
surface permanently. Only use pots and pans with smooth bases.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables)
~
can cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that
the ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.
Even a light object could cause damage in certain
~
circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
Placing hot objects on the sensors and displays could damage
~
the electronics underneath them. Do not place hot pans on the
sensors and displays.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the
~
appliance when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the
appliance to heat up the room.
The frame of the hob can become hot due to the influence of the
~
following factors: operating duration, high power level(s), large pans
and the number of cooking zones being used.
Aluminium pans or pans with an aluminium base can cause
~
metallic, shiny marks to appear on the ceramic surface. These
marks can be removed using a ceramic and stainless steel hob
cleaner (see "Cleaning and care").
To prevent the risk of spillages etc. burning on, remove any
~
soiling as quickly as possible and ensure that pan bases are clean,
dry and free of grease.
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
~
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.

Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags, etc are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not dispose of it with
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for
disposal.
