Correct application
This cooktop is designed for domestic use and for use in similar
environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts

This cooktop is not suitable for outdoor use.
It is intended only to cook food and keep it warm. Any other use is
not supported by Miele and could be dangerous.
This cooktop is not intended for use by people (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
and instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their
safety. They may only use the cooktop unsupervised if they have
been shown how to use it in a safe way. They must be able to
recognise and understand the potential dangers of improper use.
Warning and Safety instructions
6
Safety with children
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
Older children may use the appliance without supervision if its
operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to
use it safely. Children must be able to recognise and understand the
potential dangers of improper use.
Cleaning may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
Please supervise 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 a while
after being switched off. Keep children well away from the cooktop
until it has cooled down and there is no danger of burning.
Danger of burning!
Do not store anything which might arouse a child's interest in
storage areas above or behind to the cooktop. Otherwise children
could be tempted to climb onto the cooktop.
Danger of burning and scalding!
Turn the handles of pots and pans on the cooking zone to the side or
the rear so that children cannot pull them down and burn
themselves.
Danger of suffocation!
Whilst playing, children may become entangled in packaging
material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head with the
risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.
Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the
appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is
damaged.
Reliable and safe operation of this cooktop can only be assured if
it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and national safety regulations. 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.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)
matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in
order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance.
Do not connect the cooktop to the mains electrical supply by a
multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and
do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
For safety reasons, this cooktop may only be used after it has
been built in.
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Never open the casing of the cooktop.
Touching or tampering with electrical connections or components
and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.

The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
The cooktop 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
suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with current
local and national safety regulations (see “Gas connection”). In
Australia and New Zealand, gas installations must be in accordance
with AS/NZS 5601. If the plug has been removed or the connection
cable is not supplied with a plug, the cooktop must be connected to
the mains supply by a suitably qualified electrician (see “Electrical
connection”).
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special connection cable by an electrician in order to avoid a
hazard (see “Electrical connection”).
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be completely disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
The gas supply must also be turned off. It is only completely isolated
from the gas and electricity supply when:
– the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
– the gas inlet valve is closed.

Danger of electric shock!
If the ceramic surface is faulty, cracked, chipped or damaged in any
way, switch off the cooktop immediately. Disconnect it from the
mains electricity and gas supply. Call Miele.
If the cooktop is installed behind a furniture door, do not close the
door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build
up behind the closed door. This can result in damage to the cooktop,
the housing unit and the floor. Leave the furniture door open until the
cooktop has cooled down completely.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.
This cooktop is not suitable for installation and operation with
aftermarket lids or covers fitted.

Correct use
The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for some
time after being switched off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a
possibility that it could still be hot.
DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE AS A SPACE HEATER.
Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite, do not
attempt to put the flames out with water.
Switch off the cooktop and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid,
damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking
process has to be supervised continuously.
Flames could set the grease filters of a rangehood on fire. Do not
flambé under a rangehood.
DO NOT USE OR STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN THE
APPLIANCE STORAGE DRAWER OR NEAR THIS APPLIANCE.
CUTLERY INSERTS MUST BE HEAT-RESISTANT.
DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS
APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION.
Do not heat an empty pan.
Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the cooktop, as pressure can build up in the containers, causing
them to explode.
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
cooktop is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
