Warning and Safety instructions
12

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 which
complies with local and national safety
regulations. 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. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
~Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that the
voltage and frequency details given on
the data plate correspond to the on-site
electricity supply, otherwise the
appliance could be damaged. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
~For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used after it has been built
in.
~The connection to the gas supply
must be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations. 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.
~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
Miele authorised, suitably qualified and
competent person in strict accordance
with current national and local safety
regulations.
Repairs and other work by
unauthorised and unqualified persons
could be dangerous. Miele cannot be
held liable for unauthorised work.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

~The gas cooktop must be
disconnected from the gas supply and
mains electricity before repairs and
maintenance work is carried out. 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and the plug is withdrawn from the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.
~This appliance is not intended to be
operated by means of an external timer
or separate remote control system.
~If the connection cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by a suitably
qualified electrician with a specialist
connection cable of type H 05 VV-F
(pvc insulated), available from Miele.
~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 cooktop if the
ceramic surface is cracked, chipped or
damaged in any way. Switch it off im-
mediately, disconnect it from the mains
electricity and the gas supply, and call
Miele.
~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 caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the warranty.
Warning and Safety instructions
14

Correct use
~The appliance gets hot when in use
and remains hot for quite a while after
being switched off. There is a danger of
burning until the residual heat
indicators go out.
~When using a rangehood above the
cooktop, ensure that the burner is
always covered with a pan when in use.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the rangehood, parts of
which could then be damaged or even
set on fire.
~Do not leave the cooktop
unattended whilst it is being used.
Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause
a fire.
~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 appliance 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.
~Do not flambé under a rangehood.
The flames could set the rangehood on
fire.
~For added protection, it is advisable
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance.
Ensure that they do not come into
contact with the flames. Do not use
large cloths, tea towels or similar as the
ends could touch the flames and catch
fire.
Take care not to let these items 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 drop anything on the ceramic
surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.
~Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else. The
article could melt or catch fire if
residual heat is still present or if the
appliance is switched on by mistake.
~Do not cover the appliance, e.g.
with a covering plate, a cloth, kitchen
foil, etc. If the appliance is switched on
by mistake, or if there is residual heat
present, these materials may catch fire,
shatter or melt.
~Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high
temperatures and could catch fire.
~Do not heat up unopened tins of
food on the cooktop, as pressure will
build up in the tin, causing it to
explode. This could result in injury and
scalding or damage.
Warning and Safety instructions
15

~Make sure all the components of the
gas burners have been correctly
assembled before switching on.
~Pans must be the correct size for the
burner they are used on (see "Pots &
Pans"). A pan which is too small will be
unstable on the pan support. If the pan
diameter is too large, flames can
spread out to the sides and damage or
burn the worktop, wall claddings or
surrounding units and also parts of the
cooktop. Miele will not accept liability
for any damage resulting from such
incorrect use.
~Ensure that the flames from the
burner do not spread out beyond the
base and up the sides of the pan.
~Unless the pan manufacturer states
that you can do so, do not use pans
with very thin bases on this cooktop,
and never heat up empty pans as they
could get damaged. This could also
damage the appliance.
~Always use the pan supports
supplied. Never place a pot or pan on
the burner itself.
~Do not store any inflammable
objects near the gas cooktop.
~Remove splashes of fat and other
food debris from the surface as soon as
possible. These are a fire hazard.
~Replace the pan supports carefully
to avoid scratching the surface of the
cooktop.
~Using the cooktop creates heat,
moisture and products of combustion
within the room in which it is located. It
is important to make sure the room is
sufficiently ventilated during operation
of the cooktop with natural or
mechanical means of ventilation, e.g. a
rangehood.
~If the cooktop is used for very long
periods of time, additional ventilation of
the room may be necessary, e.g. by
opening windows or doors, or running
the rangehood on the highest setting.
~While the gas cooktop is in
operation, it must be used in
conjunction with either a rangehood or
another domestic ventilation system.
~When using an electrical appliance,
e.g. a hand-held mixer, near the gas
cooktop, ensure that the connection
cable doesn't come into contact with
the hot cooktop. The insulation on the
cable could become damaged, giving
rise to an electric shock hazard.
~Do not use or store flammable
materials in the appliance storage
drawer or near this appliance. Cutlery
inserts must be heat-resistant.
~Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity
of this appliance while it is in operation.
~Do not use pans that are large
enough to cover more than one burner.
The resulting build-up of heat could
damage the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions
16

~If the cooktop 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.
~If the appliance has not been used
for a long period of time, it should be
thoroughly cleaned before it is used
again. It is also advisable to have the
appliance tested by a qualified person
for safety.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,

Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
or machine
Electrical and electronic appliances /
machines often contain materials
which, if handled or disposed of
incorrectly, could be potentially
hazardous to human health and to the
environment. They are, however,
essential for the correct functioning of
your appliance or machine. Therefore,
please do not dispose of your old
machine or appliance with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply by a competent person.
The plug must be rendered useless
and the cable cut off directly behind the
appliance or the machine to prevent
misuse.
