and if they are able to recognize and understand the potential risks
of improper use.
Children must not be allowed to clean the cooktop without
supervision.
Be sure to supervise any children in the vicinity of the cooktop,
and do not let them play with it.
The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time
after being switched off. Keep children away from the cooktop until it
has cooled down and is no longer a burn hazard.
Burn hazard.
Keep the spaces above and behind the cooktop clear of any items
that could draw the attention of children. Otherwise, they can be
tempted into climbing onto the appliance.

Warnings and safety instructions
Technical safety
Installation, maintenance and repair work should only be
performed by a Miele authorized service technician. Installation,
maintenance and repair work by unqualified persons can cause
considerable danger to users.
A damaged cooktop can be dangerous. Always check for visible
signs of damage. Never use a damaged appliance.
Reliable and safe operation of the cooktop can only be
guaranteed if it is connected to the public power supply.
The electrical safety of this cooktop can only be guaranteed when
it is properly grounded. Compliance with this essential safety
requirement is absolutely necessary. If in any doubt, please have the
building's electrical system checked by a qualified electrician.
To avoid damaging the cooktop, make sure that the connection
data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the
building's power supply before connecting the appliance.
When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
The cooktop may only be combined with the ovens specified by
Miele. The manufacturer cannot guarantee trouble-free operation if
the cooktop is used in combination with any other appliances. Doing
so will void the warranty.
Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a power
bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance.
For safety reasons, the cooktop may only be used when it has
been fully installed.
This cooktop must not be used in non-stationary locations (e.g. on
a ship).
7
Warnings and safety instructions
Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the cooktop will endanger your safety
and may lead to cooktop malfunctions.
Do not open the casing of the cooktop under any circumstances.
Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized service
technician will void the warranty.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance if genuine
Miele spare parts are used. Defective components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele spare parts.
The cooktop must be connected to the oven by a qualified
electrician (see "Electrical connection").
During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the cooktop
must be completely disconnected from the household electricity
supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– The main circuit breaker has been tripped, or
– The plug fuses have been fully unscrewed (where applicable).
Risk of electric shock.
If the ceramic surface of the cooktop is defective or chipped,
cracked or broken in any way, immediately turn the cooktop off and
do not continue to use it. Disconnect the cooktop from the power
supply and contact Miele.
If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the
door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build
up behind the closed door and cause damage to the cooktop,
cabinetry and flooring. Do not close the door until the cooktop has
completely cooled down.
8
Warnings and safety instructions
Proper use
The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
after being turned off. A burn hazard is present until the residual heat
indicators go out.
Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches
fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water.
Turn off the cooktop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable
fire blanket.
The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire.
Do not flambé under a hood.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other flammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore, do not store such items or
substances in a drawer under the cooktop. Any cutlery inserts must
be heat-resistant.
Never heat empty cookware.
Do not heat or can food in closed containers, such as tins or
sealed jars, on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the container
and cause it to explode.
If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the
cover will ignite, explode or melt if the range is still hot or if it is
turned on inadvertently. Never cover the appliance with a cover,
cloth or protective foil.
If the cooktop is on or accidentally turned on, or if it is still hot,
metal objects on the cooktop can heat up. Other items may melt or
catch fire. Damp lids can become attached to the cooktop by
suction. Do not store items on the cooktop. Always turn the burners
off after use.
9
Warnings and safety instructions
You can burn yourself on a hot cooktop. When cooking on the
cooktop, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders or
oven mitts. Only use dry pot holders and oven mitts. Wet or damp
textiles conduct heat more effectively and produce steam, which
poses a burn hazard.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near the
cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into
contact with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation could become
damaged.
Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can
cause scratches if they get onto pan bottoms. Make sure that the
ceramic surface and pan bottom are clean before placing any pans
on the cooktop.
Even light objects (such as a salt shaker) can cause damage to
the ceramic cooktop in certain circumstances. Do not drop anything
on the ceramic surface.
Hot pans on the display can cause damage to the electronics
underneath. Do not place hot pans on the display or on the area
around the display.
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum
foil, to get on the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage the
ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off the
appliance immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or
aluminum residues while still hot using a scraper blade. Wear oven
mitts when doing so. Allow the burners to cool down and clean them
with a suitable ceramic cleaning agent.
Pans that boil dry can damage the ceramic surface. Never leave
the cooktop unattended during use.
Pots and pans with rough bottoms can scratch the ceramic
surface. Only use pots and pans that are smooth on the bottom.
10
Warnings and safety instructions
Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuff marks and scratches.
Because induction heating works so quickly, the temperature of
the cookware bottom can quickly reach the ignition point of oils and
fats. Never leave the cooktop unattended when it is on!
Do not heat oils and fats for longer than one minute, and never
use the booster.
For people who have a heart pacemaker: Please note that an
electromagnetic field is created in the area immediately surrounding
the cooktop. It is very unlikely to affect a pacemaker. However, if in
any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your
doctor.
Objects affected by electromagnetic fields, for instance, credit
cards, CDs and calculators, should be kept away from the cooktop
when it is on.
Do not use two pans on a cooking zone, a casserole cooking zone
or a PowerFlex zone at the same time.
If the cookware only partially covers the cooking or roasting zone,
the handle could become very hot.
Make sure to place the cookware in the middle of the cooking or
casserole cooking zone!
11
Warnings and safety instructions
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
If the cooktop is built in over a self-cleaning oven, the cooktop
should not be used while the self-cleaning process is being carried
out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on
the cooktop (see relevant section).
12
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packaging material
The cardboard box and packaging
materials protect the appliance during
shipping. They have been designed to
be biodegradable and recyclable.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. You can return the packaging to
your Miele dealer.
Disposing of your old appliance
Old electrical and electronic equipment
often still contain valuable materials.
However, they may also include harmful
substances that were essential for
proper functioning and safe use.
Improperly disposing of these items in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment.
Therefore, please do not dispose of
your old appliance in your regular
household waste.
Instead, use your local community
waste collection and recycling centre
for electric and electronic appliances.
Contact your dealer for more
information.
Ensure that your old appliance does not
pose a danger to children while being
stored for disposal.
