Technical safety
 Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical
appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service
technician.
 A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check it for any visible
damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
 Reliable and safe operation of this cooktop can only be assured if
it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 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.
 Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)
matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in
order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance.
 Do not connect the cooktop 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 cooktop may only be used after it has
been built in.
 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
 Never open the casing of the cooktop.
Touching or tampering with electrical connections or components
and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
 The cooktop 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 "Electrical connection").
 If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special connection cable typeH05VV-F (PVC insulated),
available from Miele, by a Miele approved service technician or
suitably qualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard. See
"Electrical connection".
 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 circuit breaker is switched off, or
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
 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 it from the mains electricity supply and contact Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 If the cooktop is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a door),
ensure that the door is never closed whilst the cooktop is in use.
Heat and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture panel and
cause subsequent damage to the cooktop, the housing unit and the
floor. Do not close the door until the residual heat indicators have
gone out.
 In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
 DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
Correct use
 The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the
residual heat indicators go out.
 Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects left near the appliance could catch
fire.
 Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite, do not
attempt to put the flames out with water.
Switch off the cooktop and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid,
damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
 Flames could set the grease filters of a rangehood on fire. Do not
flambé under a rangehood.
 Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the cooktop. Cutlery inserts must be heat-
resistant.
 Do not heat an empty pan.
 Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the cooktop, as pressure can build up in the containers, causing
them to explode.
 Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth or
protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the
cooktop is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of
any metal items left on the cooktop heating up, with the danger of
burning. Depending on the material, other items left on the cooktop
could also melt or catch fire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the
ceramic surface and be difficult to dislodge. Do not use the
appliance as a resting place. Switch the cooking zones off after use
and do not rely on the pan detector.
 You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. Protect your hands
with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.
 When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food mixer,
near the cooktop, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance
cannot come into contact with the hot cooktop. The insulation on the
cable could become damaged.
 Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can
cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that the
ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.
 Even a light object can cause damage in certain circumstances.
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
 Placing hot pans on the sensors and indicators could damage the
electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the sensors or
indicators.
 Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium
foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot, as they can
damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should
occur, switch off the appliance and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or
aluminium residues whilst still hot, using a shielded scraper blade.
Wear oven gloves. Allow the cooking zones to cool down and clean
them with a suitable ceramic cooktop cleaning agent.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
not leave the cooktop unattended whilst it is being used.
 Only use pots and pans with smooth bases. Rough bases will
scratch the ceramic glass.
 Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
 Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the cooktop.
 The cooktop frame or cooktop edges (on cooktops with bevelled
edges) and the controls can become hot due to the influence of the
following factors: operating duration, high power level(s), large pans
and the number of cooking zones being used.
 Aluminium pans or pans with an aluminium base can cause
metallic, shiny marks to appear on the ceramic surface. These marks
can be removed using the Miele ceramic and stainless steel cooktop
cleaner (see "Cleaning and care").
 If spills remain on the cooktop for any length of time they can burn
on and in certain circumstances become impossible to remove.
Remove any soiling as quickly as possible and ensure that pan
bases are clean, dry and free of grease.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short
circuit.

Caring for the environment
14
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.
