IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using the appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before installation and use of the rangetop to prevent accidents and machine damage.

This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before installing or using it for the first time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, use and maintenance.

Miele cannot be held responsible for damage caused by the nonobservance of these instructions.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Appropriate use

This rangetop is intended for residential use and use in other similar environments.

This appliance is not intended for outdoor use.

The rangetop is intended for residential use only to prepare food and keep it warm. Any other use occurs at the owner's own risk and may be dangerous.

Persons who are unable to safely operate the range due to limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or because of a lack of experience or knowledge, may only use the appliance if they are supervised while doing so. These persons may only use the appliance without supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner, and if they are able to recognize and understand the potential risks of improper use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety with children

Do not leave children unattended: Children should not be alone or unsupervised in the area where the rangetop is installed. Do not allow them to sit or stand on the appliance.

All children must be kept away from the rangetop.

Please supervise any children in the vicinity of the rangetop and do not let them play with the appliance.

The rangetop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time after being turned off. Keep children away from the appliance until it has cooled down and is no longer a burn hazard.

Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.

Burn hazard!

Keep the spaces above and behind the rangetop clear of any items that could draw the attention of children. Otherwise, they can be tempted into climbing onto the appliance.

Risk of burning or scalding.

Turn pot and pan handles inward, so children cannot pull them down and be burned.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

Failure to observe the information contained in the installation instructions can lead to serious or fatal injuries for children and adults.

Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.

Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so. Service work may only be performed by a qualified technician.

A damaged rangetop can be dangerous. Always check for visible signs of damage. Never use a damaged appliance.

Reliable and safe operation of the rangetop can only be guaranteed if it is connected to the public power supply.

The electrical safety of the rangetop can only be guaranteed when it is properly grounded. Compliance with this essential safety requirement is absolutely mandatory. If in any doubt, please have the building's wiring system inspected by a qualified electrician.

Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been installed correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified technician.

Do not operate the appliance until it has been properly installed.

To avoid damaging the rangetop, make sure that the information (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.

Installation and maintenance of the gas connection must be performed by qualified installers, service agencies or gas providers.

Do not use a power strip or extension cord to connect the rangetop to electricity (risk of fire).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must not be installed and operated in non-station- ary locations (e.g., on a ship).

Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical components of the rangetop will endanger your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions.

Do not open the appliance housing under any circumstances.

Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized service technician will void the warranty.

Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.

During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the rangetop must be completely disconnected from the household electricity supply. The gas supply must be shut off. Ensure that this is the case by:

–removing the fuse,

–“tripping” the circuit breaker, or

–unplugging the unit. Pull the plug not the cord.

–Shut off the gas supply and disconnect the rangetop from the gas supply. Installation and maintenance of the gas connection must be performed by qualified installers, service agencies or gas providers.

Risk of electric shock!

If the rangetop is defective, immediately turn the appliance off and discontinue use. Disconnect the range from the gas and power supply and call Miele Service.

If the rangetop is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the door while the range is in operation. Heat and moisture can build up behind the closed door and cause damage to the range, cabinetry, and flooring. Do not close the door until the range has completely cooled down.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Reaching over a hot stovetop to access the cabinets can result in burns. You can reduce the risk of burns by installing a range hood that extends at least 4³/ " (12 cm) past the bottom of the cabinets.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct use

Do not leave the rangetop unattended when cooking on high power. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter, which can ignite on the range.

Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the appliance 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 rangetop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable fire blanket.

Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing agent or foam fire extinguisher.

Storage in or on the appliance: Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or in the vicinity of the rangetop.

The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire. Do not flambé under a ventilation hood.

Never heat empty cookware.

Do not heat up food in closed containers, as pressure will build up in the container, causing them to explode. Do not use the rangetop to boil or heat up cans.

If the rangetop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the cover will ignite, explode or if the range is still hot or if turned on inadvertently. Never cover the range with a board, cloth, or protective sheet.

When using an electrical appliance, e.g., a hand mixer, near the rangetop, make sure that the power cable does not come into contact with the hot range. The cable's insulation could become damaged.

Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high temperatures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum foil cookware.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The rangetop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time after being turned off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a possibility that it could still be hot.

You can burn yourself on a hot rangetop. When cooking on the appliance, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders or oven mitts. Only use dry pot holders or gloves. Wet or damp textiles conduct heat more effectively and produce steam, which poses a burn hazard. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the gas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, dish towels or other similar materials.

If the rangetop is accidentally turned on or is still hot, metal objects on the appliance can heat up. Other items may melt or catch fire. Do not place unused items on the range for storage!

A range hood installed above the range can become damaged or catch fire as a result of intense heat. Do not use the gas burners without cookware.

The high temperatures radiated could cause objects near the rangetop to catch fire.

Do not use the range to heat the room.

Only light the gas burners after all burner parts have been properly assembled.

If the cookware is too small, it will not sit properly on the burner. If the cookware is too large, heat emitted from the bottom of the cookware may damage the counter, walls with poor heat resistance (e.g., paneled walls), or portions of the rangetop.

Make sure that the burner flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware and rise up its sides.

Only use cookware with a thick enough bottom. Failure to do so may result in damage to the rangetop.

Always use the burner grates supplied with the cooktop. Never place cookware directly on the burner.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Install the burner grates in an upright position to avoid scratching the cooktop.

Remove all grease splatters and other flammable (food) residues on the rangetop. They are a fire hazard.

Do not use pots or pans that are large enough to cover several burners. The resulting heat buildup can damage the appliance.

If the rangetop has not been used for a long period of time, be sure to thoroughly clean it and have it inspected by an authorized technician before using it again.

The use of the rangetop creates heat, moisture and combustion products in the room where it is installed. Make sure that the appliance is installed in location with sufficient ventilation. Natural ventilation openings should not be blocked. Alternatively, a mechanical ventilation device (e.g. a range hood) can be installed.

Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may require additional ventilation of the room, e.g., by opening a window, or by turning the range hood to a higher setting.

Ask your installer to show you the location of your gas shutoff valve and fuses or circuit breaker panel in your apartment or home. Be sure that you know how and where to disconnect the gas and power supply to your rangetop.

Ensure that the igniters are clean and dry to allow the burners to ignite and burn properly.

Fire hazard! Loose-fitting or hanging garments can catch fire. Be sure to wear appropriately fitting clothing when cooking. Never allow loose clothing or flammable materials to come into contact with the burners while the burners are in use.

When you have finished cooking, make sure that the burners are turned off by checking the position of the knobs.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The grates, burner cap, bottom parts of the burner, and any other parts located near the burner flame, can still be very hot after cooking and cause burns. Do not touch these components when using the rangetop.

Wind can blow curtains over the rangetop, causing them to catch fire. If the range is installed near a window, do not use long curtains.

Only certain types of glass, ceramic or other enamel cookware can be used on a gas rangetop without breaking as a result of sudden temperature changes.

Do not use cooking utensils on the grill.

Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if they are used to wipe spilled food off a hot burner. Some cleansers can emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be careful when cleaning the cooktop.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning and maintenance

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance.

Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short cir-

cuit.
