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 using it for the first time.
They contain important notes on
installation, safety, use and
maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and ensure that new users are
familiar with the content. Pass them
on to any future owner.
Correct application
~This Salamander is designed for
domestic use and for use in similar
environments by guests in hotel or
motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and
other typical living quarters. This does
not include common/shared facilities or
commercial facilities within hotels,
motels or bed & breakfasts.
~This appliance must only be used to
cook food and keep it warm.
Any other usage is at the owner's risk
and could be dangerous. Miele cannot
be held liable for damage resulting
from incorrect or improper use or
operation.
~The appliance is not suitable for
outdoor use.
~This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
Warning and Safety instructions
5
Safety with children
~Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance. Keep children away from the
appliance at all times to avoid the risk
of injury.
~Older children may only use the
appliance when its operation has been
clearly explained to them and they are
able to use it safely, recognising the
dangers of misuse.
~The ceramic surface and the
browning unit become very hot during
operation, and remain so for quite a
while after the appliance has been
switched off. To safeguard against
burning, keep children well away from
the appliance at all times.
~The heating element of the browning
unit glows very brightly. Do not allow
children to look directly at the heating
element.
~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.
~Take care that children are not able
to pull hot dishes down onto
themselves from the appliance. Danger
of burning and scalding!
~Packaging, e.g. cling film,
polystyrene and plastic wrappings,
must be kept out of the reach of babies
and young children. Danger of
suffocation! Dispose of or recycle all
packaging safely as soon as possible.
Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
~Before installation, check the
appliance for visible signs of damage.
Do not install and use a damaged
appliance. A damaged appliance is
dangerous.
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system. It is
most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and tested
regularly, and, where there is any
doubt, the household wiring system
should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~Before connecting the appliance,
make sure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and rated load)
match the mains electricity supply.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.
~For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used when it has been
built in.
~Never open the housing of the
appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.
~Installation, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person authorised by Miele in strict
accordance with current national and
local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. Miele
cannot be held liable for unauthorised
work.
~During installation, maintenance and
repair work, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply. It is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply when:
– the mains fuse is disconnected,
– the 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.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
~If the connection cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by a suitably
qualified electrician with a special
connection cable of type H 05 VV-F
(pvc insulated), available from Miele.
~This appliance is not intended to be
operated by means of an external timer
or separate remote control system.
~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).
~Do not use the appliance if the
ceramic surface of the browning unit is
cracked, chipped or damaged in any
way. Switch it off immediately, and
disconnect it from the mains electricity
supply. Danger of electric shock!
~If the appliance is supplied without a
plug, or if the plug is removed, it must
be connected to the mains electricity
supply by a suitably qualified and
competent electrician in strict
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage caused by incorrect
installation or connection.
~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 which may be
caused by cockroaches or other vermin
will not be covered by the warranty.
Correct use
~The Salamander gets hot when in
use and remains hot for quite a while
after being switched off.
Caution: Danger of burning.
~Do not leave the Salamander
unattended whilst it is being used. Food
could burn and become inedible.
~If 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 use the Salamander to heat
up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects near the
appliance could catch fire. The life of
the appliance could also be reduced.
~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 use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else and do
not leave any flammable objects near
the appliance. The article could melt or
catch fire if residual heat is still present
or if the appliance is switched on by
mistake.
~Installing several appliances
Do not place any hot pots or pans near
the spacer bar as they could damage
the cover of the spacer bar.
Warning and Safety instructions

~Make sure that all dishes and
crockery used with the appliance are
heat-resistant. Never use plastic
dishes. Fire hazard!
~Do not heat up unopened tins of
food under the browning unit as
pressure will build up in the tin, causing
it to explode. This could result in injury
and scalding or damage.
~Only use smooth-based dishes.
Rough bases will scratch the ceramic
surface. Take care to lift dishes onto the
standing surface: sliding them into
place will cause scuffs and scratches.
~When using an electrical appliance,
e.g. a hand-held mixer, near the
Salamander, ensure that the connection
cable doesn't come into contact with
the Salamander. The insulation on the
cable could become damaged, giving
rise to an electric shock hazard.
~To avoid the risk of scratches, do
not use the top of the browning unit as
a resting place for items.
~Keep the ceramic surface clean.
Grains of salt, sugar or sand (e.g. from
cleaning vegetables) can cause
scratches.
~If the Salamander is built-in behind a
furniture door, it must only be operated
when the door is open.
Close the furniture door only once the
appliance has been switched off and
the residual heat indicators have gone
out.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
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.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
or machine
Electrical and electronic appliances /
machines 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 or machine. Therefore,
please do not dispose of your old
machine or appliance with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply by a competent person.
The plug must be rendered useless
and the cable cut off directly behind the
appliance or the machine to prevent
misuse.
