IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4
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
6
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 cooktop must be connected to the electricity supply by a
qualified electrician (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”).
The appliance must be completely disconnected from the electric-
ity supply during installation, maintenance and repair work. Ensure
that power is not supplied to the appliance until after it has been in-
stalled or until any maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
Disconnect by
- removing the fuse,
- “tripping” the circuit breaker, or
- unplugging the unit (if equipped with plug). Pull the plug not the
cord.
Danger of electric shock. Do not use the cooktop if it is faulty, or if
the ceramic surface is cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way.
Switch it off immediately. Disconnect the cooktop from the electrical
power supply. Contact Miele Service.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the
door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build
up behind the closed door and cause damage to the cooktop, cabi-
netry, and flooring. Do not close the door until the residual heat indi-
cators go out.
Do not open the cooktop housing under any circumstances.
Disconnect the cooktop from the electrical power supply before
carrying out any maintenance or repair work.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct use
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS –
Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas
near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During
and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable mate-
rials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had suf-
ficient time to cool. Among these areas are (identification of areas –
for example, the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop).
The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while af-
ter being turned off. There is a potential hazard until the residual heat
indicator goes out.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking on high
power. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter,
which can ignite on the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance.
When in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat,
which can cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire.
Never use the cooktop to heat the room.
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 cooktop 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 cooktop.
The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire.
Do not flambé under a ventilation hood.
