ʊInstallation, maintenance and repair work should only be per
formed by a Miele authorized service technician. Installation, mainte
nance and repair work by unqualified persons can cause considera
ble danger to users.
ʊA damaged cooktop can be dangerous. Always check for visible
signs of damage. Never use a damaged appliance.
ʊReliable and safe operation of the cooktop can only be guaran
teed if it is connected to the public power supply.
ʊThe electrical safety of this cooktop can only be guaranteed when
it is properly grounded. Compliance with this essential safety re
quirement is absolutely necessary. If in any doubt, please have the
building's electrical system checked by a qualified electrician.
ʊTo 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.
ʊThe cooktop may only be combined with the ovens specified by

Proper use
ʊThe cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while af
ter being turned off. A burn hazard is present until the residual heat
indicators go out.
ʊWhen in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat,
which could cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire.
Never use the cooktop to heat the room.
ʊOil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the cooktop
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.
ʊThe flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on
fire. Do not flambé under a hood.
ʊSpray canisters, aerosols and other flammable substances can ig
nite when heated. Therefore, do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the cooktop. Any cutlery inserts must be heat-re
sistant.
ʊNever heat empty cookware.
ʊDo not heat or can food in closed containers, such as tins or
sealed jars, on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the container
and cause it to explode.
ʊIf the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the
cover will ignite, explode or melt if the range is still hot or if it is
turned on inadvertently. Never cover the appliance with a cover,
cloth or protective foil.
ʊIf the cooktop is on or accidentally turned on, or if it is still hot,
metal objects on the cooktop can heat up. Other items may melt or
catch fire. Damp lids can become attached to the cooktop by suc
tion. Do not store items on the cooktop. Always turn the burners off
after use.
Warning and safety instructions

ʊYou can burn yourself on a hot cooktop. When cooking on the
cooktop, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders or
oven mitts. Only use dry pot holders and oven mitts. Wet or damp
textiles conduct heat more effectively and produce steam, which
poses a burn hazard.
ʊWhen using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near the
cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into con
tact with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation could become
damaged.
ʊGrains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can
cause scratches if they get onto pan bottoms. Make sure that the
ceramic surface and pan bottom are clean before placing any pans
on the cooktop.
ʊEven light objects (such as a salt shaker) can cause damage to
the ceramic cooktop in certain circumstances. Do not drop anything
on the ceramic surface.
ʊHot objects on the residual heat indicators can cause damage to
the electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans in these areas.
ʊDo not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum
foil, to get on the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage the
ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off the
appliance immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or alumi
num residues while still hot using a scraper blade. Wear oven mitts
when doing so. Allow the burners to cool down and clean them with
a suitable ceramic cleaning agent.
ʊPans that boil dry can damage the ceramic surface. Never leave
the cooktop unattended during use.
ʊPots and pans with rough bottoms can scratch the ceramic sur
face. Only use pots and pans that are smooth on the bottom.
ʊLift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuff marks and scratches.
