IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This cooktop complies with all relevant local and national safety
requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal in-
jury and material damage.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before
using the cooktop. They contain important information on safety,
installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal in-
jury and damage to the cooktop.
When installing the cooktop, Miele expressly and strongly advises
that you read and follow the instructions under “Installation”, as
well as in the “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Appropriate use
This cooktop is intended for domestic use and use in other similar
environments.
This cooktop is not intended for outdoor use.
The cooktop is intended for domestic use only to prepare food
and keep it warm. Any other use may be dangerous.
Persons (including children) who lack physical, sensory or mental
abilities, or experience with the appliance should not use it without
supervision or instruction by a responsible person.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
Safety with children
As with any other appliance, children must be supervised.
Do not leave children unattended: Children should not be alone or
unsupervised in the area where the appliance is installed. Do not al-
low them to sit or stand on the appliance.
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 turned off. Keep children away from the appliance until it
has cooled down and is no longer a burn hazard.
Danger of burning. Do not store anything which might arouse a
child’s interest in storage areas above or behind the cooktop. Other-
wise they could be tempted to climb onto the appliance.
Risk of burning or scalding. Turn pot and pan handles inward, so
children cannot pull them down and be burned.
Danger of suffocation. While playing, children may become entan-
gled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over
their head, presenting the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging mate-
rial away from children.

Technical safety
Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and re-
pairs 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 should only be performed by a qualified technician.
Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the
cooktop for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is
damaged.
Reliable and safe operation of the cooktop can only be guaran-
teed if it is connected to the public power supply.
Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appli-
ance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective
grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement
be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house
checked by a qualified electrician.
Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been in-
stalled correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified techni-
cian.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the cooktop will endanger your safety
and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Do not open the casing of the cooktop under any circumstances.
Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized service techni-
cian will void the warranty.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can safety of the appliance be assured as
intended by the manufacturer.
The appliance is not intended for use with an external timer switch
or a remote control system.
The connection to the gas supply must be carried out by a quali-
fied service technician in accordance with current local and national
safety regulations (see “Installation–Gas connection”). If the plug
has been removed or the power cord is not supplied with a plug, the
cooktop must be connected to the power supply by a qualified ser-
vice technician (see “Installation–Electrical connection”).
If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a quali-
fied service technician (see “Installation–Electrical connection”).
During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the appliance
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Danger of electric shock.
If the cooktop is defective, immediately turn the appliance off and
discontinue use. Disconnect it from the electricity and gas supply.
Contact Technical Service.
If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet (e.g., a door), do not
close the cabinet door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and
moisture can build up behind the cabinet door when closed. This
can result in damage to the cooktop, housing unit, and floor. Leave
the cabinet door open until the cooktop has cooled down com-
pletely.
Reaching over a hot cooktop to access the cabinets can result in
burns. You can reduce the risk of burns by installing a ventilation
hood that extends at least 4¾" (12cm) past the bottom of the cabi-
nets.
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 cooktop.
