Co te ts

I stallatio a d co ectio

When using your appliance, follow

basic safety precautions including

the following:

Read all instructions before using

for the first time.

Be certain your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by

a qualified technician.

To guarantee the electrical safety

of this appliance, 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. The manufacturer cannot be

held responsible for damages caused

by the lack, or inadequacy of, an

effective grounding system.

Do not connect the appliance to

the main electrical supply using an

extension cord. Extension cords do not

meet the safety requirements of this

appliance.

Before servicing, disconnect the

power supply by either removing

the fuse, unplugging the unit or

manually "tripping" the circuit breaker.

Correct usage

Do not operate the appliance until

properly installed in the countertop.

This appliance is intended for

residential use only.

Use the appliance only for its

intended purpose. The

manufacturer cannot be held

responsible for damages caused by

improper use of the cooktop.

Never use the appliance to warm

or heat the room.

This appliance must not be set up

or operated outdoors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Protectio from damage

Do not drop anything on the

ceramic surface of the cooktop.

Although the ceramic glass is shock

and scratch resistant, it is not shock or

scratch proof.

Do not use pots or pans with bases

with pronounced edges or ridges

on the ceramic cooktop. These could

permanently scratch or scour the

cooktop. See "Selecting cookware" for

more information. Grains of salt and

sand can also scratch the surface.

Make sure that the bases of any pots

and pans are clean, free of any fat or

oils and are dry.

Do not allow either solid or liquid

sugar, pieces of plastic or

aluminium foil to get on the cooking

zones when they are hot. If these

residues are allowed to cool on the

ceramic surface, pitting or cracking

could occur. Should sugar, plastic or

aluminium fall on to the cooktop, first

turn the appliance off, then immediately

scrape off the remains with a shielded

blade scraper while the surface is still

hot. Take care not to burn yourself on

the hot surface. Clean the cooktop

once it has cooled.

Do not use a steam cleaner to

clean the appliance. Steam could

penetrate electrical components and

cause a short circuit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Protectio from bur s

Do not allow children to operate or

play with or near the cooktop.

Use only dry, heat-resistant

potholders. Moist or damp

potholders used on hot surfaces can

result in steam burns. Do not let the

potholder touch the hot heating

element. Do not use towels or other

bulky items near the appliance.

Be aware of loose fitting or hanging

garments when operating the

cooktop, they may present a fire

hazard.

Do not heat unopened food

containers. Built-up pressure may

cause the container to burst and result

in injury.

Do not store items on the

appliance when not in use.

Do not let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate

on the appliance.

Do not leave the cooktop

unattended while in use.

Overheated food can ignite.

Do not use water on grease fires.

Smother any fire or flame, or use a

dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Do not flambé under an exhaust

hood. Flames could be drawn up

into the hood by the suction or the

grease filters may ignite.

If there is a drawer directly

underneath the appliance without

any wooden base in between, ensure

that no aerosols, combustible liquids or

other easily flammable materials are

kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be

placed in the drawer, these must be

made of heat-resistant material.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Damage to the applia ce

In the event of any damage to the

appliance, it must be turned off

immediately and disconnected from the

electricity supply by either removing the

fuse, unplugging the unit or manually

"tripping" the circuit breaker.

Contact the Miele Technical Service

Department.

Do not use the appliance until it has

been repaired.

Ensure power is not supplied to the

appliance while repair work is being

carried out.
