READ THE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE USING THE
COOKTOP
WARNING -
This appliance is only intended for
residential cooking.
When using your appliance follow
basic safety precautions including
the following:
Installation
~Be certain your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician in accordance with
national and local safety regulations.
~Do not connect the appliance to the
main electrical supply using an
extension cord. Extension cords do not
meet the safety requirements of this
appliance.
~Before servicing, disconnect the
appliance from the main power supply.
~To guarantee the electrical safety of
this appliance, continuity must exist
between the appliance and an effective
grounding system. It is imperative that
this basic safety requirement be met. If
there is any doubt, have the electrical
system of the house checked by a
qualified electrician.
~Only for frame/facet cooktops:
A small gap will be visible between
cooktop and countertop for the first
days after installation. The gap will
decrease as the cooktop is used. The
electrical safety of your appliance is
warrantied despite the small gap.
Use
~Do not use the appliance until it has
been properly installed in the
countertop.
~This appliance is equipped with an
overheating protection feature. See
"Overheating protection" for more
information.
~Never use the appliance to heat a
room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the appliance
could catch fire.
~When the cooktop is turned on for
an extended period of time, the control
panel may get warm. This is not a
malfunction.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Injury prevention
~Children should not be left
unattended in an area where the
cooktop is in use. Never allow children
to sit or stand on any part of the
cooktop.
Caution: Do not store items of interest
to children in cabinets above the
cooktop. Children climbing on the
cooktop to reach these items could be
injured.
~Use the Safety Lock to prevent
children from turning on the cooking
zones or changing the settings. See
"Safety lock" for more information.
~Keep all pots and pans out of the
reach of children. Danger of burning or
scalding. Special cooktop/stove guards
are available from retail outlets.
~DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKING
AREA OR THE VICINITY AROUND THE
COOKING AREA - During operation,
the cooking area and its surroundings
will get hot and can cause burns. When
the cooktop is shut off, the surface may
remain hot enough to cause harm
although the glow is not visible through
the dark glass. During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact the
cooking area or the vicinity around the
cooking area until they have had
sufficient time to cool. As long as the
surface temperature is high enough to
cause a burn, the Residual Heat
Indicator will remain lit. Once sufficient
time has passed the indicator will go
out and the surface is safe to touch.
~Protect your hands with insulated
gloves or potholders when using the
appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant
potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces can result in
steam burns. Do not let the potholder
touch the hot heating elements. Do not
use towels or other bulky items near the
appliance.
~Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
garments when operating the cooktop,
they may present a fire hazard.
~Use the proper pan size. Select
cookware with flat bottoms large
enough to cover the heating element.
Using undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the heating element and
may result in ignition of clothing or
handles becoming hot. The proper size
pot or pan will also improve efficiency.
~Pot and pan handles should be
turned inward and not extend over the
countertop to reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and
spills.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Never leave a cooktop unattended
at high settings or when cooking with oil
or fat. Overheated oil could ignite.
Always heat oil slowly, monitoring it as it
heats.
~Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother or use a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher on any fire or
flame.
~When frying food make sure that the
food is as dry as possible before
placing it in oil. Moisture can cause hot
oil to splatter and boil over. At high
settings, be cautious of splattering
grease or boiling over liquids which
may produce smoke.
~Do not flambé under an exhaust
hood. Flames could be drawn up into
the hood by the suction and the grease
filters may ignite.
~Do not heat unopened containers.
Built-up pressure may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.
~Before removing pots and pans be
sure to turn off the burners.
~To prevent burns and breathing
difficulty, allow the cooktop to cool
before cleaning. Some cleaners may
produce toxic fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
~When wiping spills on a hot cooktop
with a wet sponge or cloth, be careful
to avoid steam burns.
~Do not let flammable materials,
i.e. cooking grease, accumulate on the
appliance.
~Never cover the cooktop with a
cloth. A fire may result.
~Do not store items on the cooktop
when not in use. Items could melt or
catch fire from residual heat or if the
cooktop is turned on inadvertently.
~Flammable materials should not be
stored on or near the appliance.
~If there is a drawer directly
underneath the appliance without a
wooden base in between, ensure that
no aerosols, combustible liquids or
other easily flammable materials are
kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be
placed in the drawer, these must be
made of a heat-resistant material.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Damage protection
~Never place hot pots or pans over
the touch controls, this may damage
the electronics.
~Do not drop anything on the ceramic
surface of the cooktop. Even
lightweight objects may cause damage.
~Do not use pots or pans with
pronounced edges or ridges on the
ceramic cooktop. These could scratch
the cooktop permanently. See
"Selecting cookware" for more
information. Grains of salt and sand can
cause scratches. Make sure that the
bases of any pots and pans are clean,
free of any fat or oils and are dry.
~To prevent damage to the cooktop
do not use pots and pans with thin
bases on the cooktop. Never heat an
empty pan unless the pan manufacturer
states that you can do so.
~Before using glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
cookware verify that they can be used
on a cooking surface.
~Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar, pieces of plastic or foil to fall on
the burners when they are hot. If these
residues are allowed to cool on the
ceramic surface pitting or even
cracking may occur.
~Any spills should be removed as
quickly as possible to prevent them
from burning on and becoming difficult
to remove.
~Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. Steam could penetrate
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.

Appliance safety
~In the event of any damage to the
appliance, it must be turned off
immediately and disconnected from the
main power supply. Call Miele’s
Technical Service Department.
Do not use the appliance until it has
been repaired. Ensure power is not
supplied to the appliance until repair
work is completed.
~Do not cook on a broken cooktop.
Any breakages or cracks in the ceramic
surface of the appliance are defects
and must be treated as such. If the
cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spills may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Do not use the
appliance until it has been repaired.
~Repairs should only be performed
by qualified technicians to ensure
safety. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Under no circumstances
open the outer casing of the appliance.
~While the appliance is under
warranty repairs should only be
performed by an authorized service
technician. Otherwise the warranty is
void.
Further safety notes
~Make certain that the power cords of
small appliances do not come in
contact with the cooktop. The insulation
of the cable could become damaged.
Danger of electric shock!
~Do not use plastic or aluminum.
They will melt at high temperatures. Fire
hazard!
~If a pet gets on the cooktop a touch
control sensor could be activated
turning on a burner. Keep pets away
from the cooktop at all times and
activate the Safety Lock.
