Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Installation, maintenance and repair work may only be carried out

by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. Installation, maintenance and repairs by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Before installation,

check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed

when 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 (fuse rating, 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 unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has

been built in.

This cooktop must not be installed and operated in mobile

installations (e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be

undertaken by a service technician authorised by Miele. Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele

original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

If the connection cable is damaged or if the appliance is supplied

without a cable, it must be replaced or fitted with a specialist connection cable by a suitably qualified electrician (see "Electrical connection").

The appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity

supply during installation, maintenance and repair work. Ensure that power is not supplied to the appliance until after it has been installed or until after any maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: –

the mains fuse is disconnected,

–

he screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable),

–

it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from the socket, or it is switched off at the isolator.

Warning and Safety instructions

If the cooktop is fitted with a communication module, in addition

to disconnecting the cooktop, this module must also be disconnected from the mains electricity during installation and maintenance of the cooktop as well as while any repair work is being carried out.

The cooktop is not intended for use with an external timer switch

or a remote control system.

Danger of electric shock.

Do not use the cooktop if it is faulty, or if the ceramic surface is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Switch it off immediately, and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply.

In 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 warranty.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

For people fitted with a heart pacemaker:

Please note that the area immediately surrounding the cooktop is electromagnetically charged. It is unlikely to affect a pacemaker. However, if in any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor.

To prevent damage to items which are susceptible to magnetic

fields, e.g. credit cards, digital storage devices, pocket calculators, etc, do not leave them in the immediate vicinity of the cooktop.

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 cooktop. 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 cooktop heating up, with the danger of burning. Depending on the material, other items left on the cooktop 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 store any metal items or utensils in a drawer under the

cooktop as they can become hot if the induction cooktop is used intensively for a long time.

Warning and Safety instructions

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 cooktop 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 cooktop cleaning agent.

Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the cooktop, as

pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode.

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,

Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop 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.

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.

Do not flambé under a rangehood. The flames could set the

rangehood on fire.

Warning and Safety instructions

Induction heating works extremely quickly, so the base of the pan

could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time. Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can

ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances in a drawer under the cooktop. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

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 cooktop in use or whilst there is any residual heat present.

Do not heat an empty pan.

Heat oil or fat for a maximum of one minute. Do not use the

Booster function to heat oil or fat.

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 cooktop 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.

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.

Do not place hot items or pans on the touch display as this could

cause damage to the electronics underneath.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a light object

could cause damage in certain circumstances.

This appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted

directly underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation of the cooktop. Do not store pointed or 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.

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this cooktop. The

steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

If the cooktop is built in over a pyrolitic oven, the cooktop should

not be used whilst the pyrolitic process is being carried out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the cooktop (see relevant section).

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. If handled or disposed of incorrectly they could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. Please do not dispose of your appliance with household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your Chartered Agent for advice.

Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

The induction principle

Induction coils are located underneath the ceramic surface. These coils create a magnetic field when the cooktop is switched on and a pan is placed on the surface. This magnetic field works on the base of the pan and heats it up. The ceramic surface heats up indirectly by the heat given off by the pan.

Induction heat only works when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on the ceramic surface (see "Pans"). The induction cooking zone automatically recognises the size of the pan

Induction heat will not work

if the pan is unsuitable (non-magnetic base).

–

– if the diameter of the base of the pan is too small.

– if the pan is taken off the cooktop when it is switched on.

If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed on the ceramic surface, the cooktop will switch off automatically after a few minutes.

Danger of burning. Do not use the cooktop as a resting place for metal items (e.g. cutlery). When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of the metal items heating up, with the danger of burning. Switch the cooktop off after use.
