READ THE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE USING THE
COOKTOP
WARNING -
This appliance is intended for
residential cooking only. The
manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damage or injury
caused by improper use or for uses
other than those for which this
appliance is intended.
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.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damage caused by
incorrect installation or connection.
~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. The manufacturer
will not be held responsible for
damages caused by the lack, or
inadequacy, of an effective grounding
system.
~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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use
~Only use the cooktop for residential
cooking, and for the purposes
described in this manual.
Other uses are not permitted and can
be dangerous. The manufacturer will
not be held liable for damage caused
by unauthorized use or improper
operation of any kind.
~Persons who lack physical, sensory
or mental abilities, or experience with
the appliance should not use it without
supervision or instruction by a
responsible person.
~Individuals with a pacemaker or
similar medical device: Please note
that an electromagnetic field develops
when the cooktop is turned on.
Although unlikely that this will affect a
pacemaker or other medical device,
please consult the device manufacturer
or your doctor if you have concerns.
~Keep magnetized items, e.g. credit
cards, disks, etc. away from the
cooktop while in operation. Damage
may result.
~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.
~Be sure to use the proper type of
cookware. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
~If the cooktop is installed above a
pyrolytic oven it should not be used
during the pyrolytic process. The

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 Child Safety Lock to prevent
children from turning on the burners or
changing the settings. See "Child
Safety lock" for more information.
~Keep all pots and pans out of
children's reach. Danger of burning or
scalding.
~Do not touch the cooktop or the
surrounding areas during or
immediately after use. The cooktop may
be hot even though it is dark in color.
Wait until the residual heat indicators
go out.
~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
clothing when operating the cooktop,
they may present a fire hazard.
~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.
~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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~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 place items other than pots
and pans on the cooktop.
~Flammable materials should not be
stored on or near the appliance.
~The cooktop is fitted with a cooling
fan. Drawers under the cooktop are not
recommended. If a drawer is fitted
directly underneath the cooktop, ensure
that there is sufficient space between
the drawer, its contents and the
underside of the appliance in order to
ensure sufficient ventilation for the
cooktop. Do not store small items or
paper in the drawer. They could get
sucked into the housing by the fan and
cause damage or impair cooling.
Ensure that no aerosols, combustible
liquids or other flammable materials are
kept in this drawer. If cutlery inserts are
to be placed in the drawer they must be
made of heat-resistant material.

Damage protection
~Never place hot pots or pans on 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
"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.
~Do not allow 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. Contact 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 damaged 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. Do not open the outer
casing of the appliance under any
circumstances.
~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!
~Keep pets away from the cooktop at
all times and activate the Safety Lock. If
a pet gets on the cooktop a touch
control sensor could be activated
