Technical safety
~Before installation, check the
appliance for visible signs of damage.
Do not install and use a damaged
appliance. A damaged appliance is
dangerous.
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system. 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.
Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~Before connecting the appliance,
make sure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and rated load)
match the mains electricity supply.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.
~For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used when it has been
built in.
~Never open the housing of the
appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.
~Installation, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person authorised by Miele in strict
accordance with current national and
local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. Miele
cannot be held liable for unauthorised
work.
~During installation, maintenance and
repair work, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply. It is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply when:
– the mains fuse is disconnected,
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable),
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn from the
socket, or it is switched off at the
isolator.
~While the appliance is under
warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by Miele. Otherwise the
warranty will be invalidated.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

~If the connection cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by a suitably
qualified electrician with a special
connection cable of type H 05 VV-F
(pvc insulated), available from Miele.
~This appliance is not intended to be
operated by means of an external timer
or separate remote control system.
~Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~Do not use the appliance if the
ceramic surface of the browning unit is
cracked, chipped or damaged in any
way. Switch it off immediately, and
disconnect it from the mains electricity
supply. Danger of electric shock!
~If the appliance is supplied without a
plug, or if the plug is removed, it must
be connected to the mains electricity
supply by a suitably qualified and
competent electrician in strict
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage caused by incorrect
installation or connection.
~In areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all
times. Any damage which may be
caused by cockroaches or other vermin
will not be covered by the warranty.
Correct use
~The Salamander gets hot when in
use and remains hot for quite a while
after being switched off.
Caution: Danger of burning.
~Do not leave the Salamander
unattended whilst it is being used. Food
could burn and become inedible.
~If oil or fat does catch fire, do not
attempt to put out the flames with water.
Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan
lid, damp towel or similar to smother the
flames.
~Do not use the Salamander to heat
up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects near the
appliance could catch fire. The life of
the appliance could also be reduced.
~For added protection, it is advisable
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance. Do
not let them get damp or wet as this
causes heat to transfer through the
material more quickly with the risk of
scalding or burning yourself.
~Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else and do
not leave any flammable objects near
the appliance. The article could melt or
catch fire if residual heat is still present
or if the appliance is switched on by
mistake.
~Installing several appliances
Do not place any hot pots or pans near
the spacer bar as they could damage
the cover of the spacer bar.
Warning and Safety instructions

~Make sure that all dishes and
crockery used with the appliance are
heat-resistant. Never use plastic
dishes. Fire hazard!
~Do not heat up unopened tins of
food under the browning unit as
pressure will build up in the tin, causing
it to explode. This could result in injury
and scalding or damage.
~Only use smooth-based dishes.
Rough bases will scratch the ceramic
surface. Take care to lift dishes onto the
standing surface: sliding them into
place will cause scuffs and scratches.
~When using an electrical appliance,
e.g. a hand-held mixer, near the
Salamander, ensure that the connection
cable doesn't come into contact with
the Salamander. The insulation on the
cable could become damaged, giving
rise to an electric shock hazard.
~To avoid the risk of scratches, do
not use the top of the browning unit as
a resting place for items.
~Keep the ceramic surface clean.
Grains of salt, sugar or sand (e.g. from
cleaning vegetables) can cause
scratches.
~If the Salamander is built-in behind a
furniture door, it must only be operated
when the door is open.
Close the furniture door only once the
appliance has been switched off and
the residual heat indicators have gone
out.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.

Operation
12

To brown or crisp food
^Raise the browning unit.
^Place the dish containing food to be
browned on the standing surface.
^Lower the browning unit until the
distance between the food and the
heating element is approx. 3-5 cm.
^Turn the right-hand control to setting
"12". Make sure that the control is
exactly positioned at the "12".
The food will be browned in 3-5
minutes, depending on how brown or
crisp you would like it to be.
Only one dish of food can be
browned at a time.
Keeping food warm
Dishes can be kept warm for a few
minutes under the Salamander, i.e.
when it is plated up, shortly before it is
being served (as per the use of
infra-red heat lamps as part of a
restaurant pass between kitchen and
service).
^Raise the browning unit.
^Place the dish containing food to be
browned on the standing surface.
^Lower the browning unit until the
distance between the food and the
heating element is approx. 10 cm.
^Turn the right-hand control to a
medium setting.
Please note, if food is kept warm
under the Salamander for an
extended period of time, food may
dry out. To keep food warm for an
extended period of time, Miele
recommends the use of a Miele ESW
food warmer. Please contact Miele
for details.
Useful tips
–The Salamander is perfect for
browning and crisping food topped
with cheese (e.g. meat and pasta
dishes, croque monsieur, vegetable
gratin) and caramelised sweet
dishes such as crème brûlée.
The Salamander cannot be used to
re-heat food.
After use
^Switch off the appliance.
^Clean the grill after each use while it
is still warm to the touch (see
“Cleaning and care”).
^Do not lower the browning unit until
the residual heat indicator has gone
out.
Operation
13

Thermal retraction stop sensor
Your Salamander is fitted with a thermal
retraction stop sensor to prevent
damage to the appliance when
lowering the browning unit. This
ensures that the browning unit can only
be fully lowered once the appliance has
cooled down sufficiently, i.e. once the
residual heat indicator has gone out.
Height recognition
The appliance only heats up when the
browning unit is raised to at least 70
mm.
Overheating protection
The halogen heating element in the
browning unit is fitted with overheating
protection. This switches off the heating
element automatically before the
ceramic surface overheats. Once the
ceramic surface has cooled down to a
safe level, the heating will automatically
switch back on again. You can tell that
the overheating protection has
activated because the heating switches
on and off even when the highest
setting is selected.
Obstruction sensor
If the browning unit meets an
obstruction (e.g. a dish) whilst it is
being lowered, it stops immediately and
rises again by approx. 10 mm.

,Do not use a steam cleaning
appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Clean the appliance regularly,
preferably after each use. Allow the
appliance to cool down to a safe
temperature before cleaning. After
cleaning, the appliance must be
thoroughly dried with a soft cloth to
prevent a build-up of limescale
deposits.
To avoid damaging the outer
surfaces of your appliance, do not
use:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
alkalines, ammonia, acids or
chlorides,
–cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
–stain or rust removers,
–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
– solvent-based cleaning agents,
– dishwasher cleaner,
– grill and oven cleaners,
– glass cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scourers, brushes or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents,
–sharp pointed objects
(these can damage the seal between
the frame and the worktop).
–Dirt erasers
Cleaning and care
15

Stainless steel
The Original Miele ceramic and
stainless steel cooktop cleaner is
suitable for cleaning stainless steel
surfaces (see "Optional accessories").
To help prevent resoiling, we
recommend a stainless steel
conditioner (see "Optional
accessories").
Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on printed surfaces. This
would rub off the print. These areas
should be only cleaned with a
microfibre cloth or with a solution of
warm water and a little washing-up
liquid applied with a soft sponge.
Standing surface
These areas should be cleaned after
each use using a microfibre cloth or
with a solution of warm water and a little
washing-up liquid applied with a soft
sponge. Stubborn soiling should be
soaked first. Wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
The standing surface must not be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
You can remove the standing surface to
clean it and to access the building-in
frame underneath it for cleaning.
Make sure that the standing surface is
in the correct position when you
replace it. If it is not positioned
correctly, you will not be able to lower
the browning unit to its full extent.
Building-in frame
Clean the building-in frame regularly.
Remove any food deposits or liquid im-
mediately. Clean it with a microfibre
cloth or with a solution of warm water
and a little washing-up liquid applied
with a soft sponge. Dry it thoroughly
with a clean, soft cloth.
Ceramic surface of the
browning unit
Remove light soiling with a damp cloth.
Then clean the surface with the Original
Miele ceramic and stainless steel
cooktop cleaner (see "Optional
accessories") applied with kitchen
paper or a clean cloth. Do not apply
cleaner whilst the surface is still hot, as
this could result in marking. Please
follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Do not use washing-up liquid on the
ceramic surface of the browning
unit.
Finally, wipe the appliance with a damp
cloth, then polish with a soft, dry cloth.
Ensure that all cleaner residues are
removed. Residues can burn onto the
surface the next time it is heated up
and can cause damage.
Cleaning and care
16

Installation work and repairs to
electrical appliances must only be
carried out by a suitably qualified
and competent person in strict
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations. Repairs
and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable
for unauthorised work.
What to do if...
... you cannot switch the appliance
on.
Check whether
– food deposits have hardened or
anything has become stuck in the
gap around the browning unit.
– the mains fuse has tripped. If it has,
contact a qualified electrician or
Miele.
... the appliance does not heat up.
Check whether
–the browing unit is raised sufficiently.
It must be raised by at least 70 mm.
–the standing surface has been
inserted and is positioned correctly.
There was an interruption to the power
supply during operation, and the
heating has switched itself off.
To operate the appliance again,
–turn the control to "0".
–lower the browning unit fully.
... the halogen heating element
switches off intermittently.
This is quite normal and does not
indicate incorrect operation or a fault
with the appliance.
... when setting "12" is selected, the
appliance does not get hot enough
for the food to start browning.
Check that the mark on the control is
exactly positioned at the "12". The
appliance operates at a lower power
level when the control is positioned
between the "12" and the "0".
... the browing unit cannot be
lowered.
Check whether
– the appliance has cooled down
sufficiently. The residual heat
indicator must have gone out.
– the standing surface is positioned
correctly.
... everytime the browning unit is
lowered it rises shortly afterwards.
Check whether there is an object
between the browning unit and the
standing surface (see "Safety features /
Obstruction sensor").
