vironments.
This hob is not intended for outdoor use.
It is intended for domestic use only to cook food and keep it
warm. Any other use is not supported by the manufacturer and could
be dangerous.
People with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or

safely on their own must be supervised whilst using it. They may
only use it unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it safely
and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect opera-
tion.
Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the hob
unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the hob unsupervised if
they have been shown how to use it in a safe way and can recognise
and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean the hob unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the hob and do not let
them play with it.
The hob gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after be-
ing switched off. Keep children well away from the hob 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 stor-

ted into climbing onto the appliance.
Danger of burning or scalding.

could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and
suffocate.

Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re-
pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check
the hob for visible signs of damage.
Reliable and safe operation of this hob can only be assured if it
has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The electrical safety of this hob can only be guaranteed when cor-
rectly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is
met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a
qualified electrician.
To avoid the risk of damage to the hob, make sure that the con-
nection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the
mains electricity supply before connecting it to the mains.
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
Do not connect the hob 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 hob may only be used after it has been
built in.
This hob must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
Never open the casing of the hob.
Touching or tampering with electrical connections or components
and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
While the hob is under guarantee, repairs should only be under-
taken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the guar-
antee is invalidated.

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
The hob is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a
remote control system.
Connection to the gas supply must be carried out by a suitably
qualified gas fitter (e.g. a Gas Safe registered technician in the U.K).
The hob may be connected to the electrical supply by a fused plug
and switched socket. If you wish to connect it to a fused spur con-
nection, or if the plug has been removed or the connection cable is
not supplied with a plug, the hob must be connected to the mains
supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a suit-
ably qualified electrician with a special connection cable of type H
05 VV-F (pvc insulated). See "Electrical connection".
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the hob must be
disconnected from the mains electricity supply. The gas supply must
also be shut off. Depending on country this is done in one of several
different ways:
– the mains fuse has been disconnected, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applic-
able), or
– switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug from the
socket. Pull by the plug and not by the mains connection cable to
disconnect from the mains electricity supply.
– the gas inlet valve is closed.
