This cooktop complies with all
applicable safety laws and
regulations. However, improper use
can result in personal injury and
material damage.
Before using the cooktop for the first
time, carefully read the Instructions
for installation and operation.
These operating instructions contain
important information on the safety,
installation, operation, and care of
your appliance. Reading the
instructions will help reduce the risk
of personal injury or damage to the
appliance.
Keep them in a safe place and pass
them on to any future user.
Proper use
~Only use the cooktop for household
use, and for the purposes described in
this manual.
Other uses are not allowed and can be
possibly dangerous. The manufacturer
will not be held liable for damage
caused by unauthorized use or
improper operation of any kind.
~Individuals who are incapable of
using the cooktop safely, because of
physical, sensory or mental
limitations,or a lack of experience or
knowledge, should not use this
appliance without supervision or
instruction by a responsible person.

Children around the appliance
~Use the system lock to prevent
children from inadvertently switching on
the cooktop or changing the settings.
~Always supervise any children in the
vicinity of the cooktop. Never allow
children to play with the appliance.
~Children should use the cooktop
only if they have received sufficient
instruction to operate it safely. They
must be able to recognize the potential
hazards of improper use.
~The cooktop is hot during use and
remains so for some time after being
switched off. Keep children away from
the appliance until it has cooled down
enough that there is no longer any
danger of burns.
~Keep the spaces above and behind
the appliance clear of any items that
could draw the interest of a child.
Otherwise, a child might be tempted to
climb on it. Danger of burns!
~Make sure that children will not be
able to grab and topple any cookware
on the cooktop. ALWAYS turn pot/pan
handles inward so that they do not
extend out from the cooktop, where
they could be grabbed - this helps
reduce the danger of burns and
scalding! A special childproofing
screen is available through your dealer,
to help reduce these risks.
~Packing materials (e.g., foil,
styrofoam) can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep
packaging materials out of the reach of
children and dispose of them as
promptly as possible.

Technical safety
~Before installing the cooktop, check
for externally visible damage. NEVER
operate a damaged appliance. A
damaged appliance can endanger your
safety.
~The electrical safety of this cooktop
can only be guaranteed if proper
grounding has been installed in
compliance with applicable safety
regulations. It is imperative that this
basic safety requirement be met.
In case of doubt, have the power
supply checked by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer will not be
held liable for damages resulting from a
missing, broken or inadequate
grounding system (for example, electric
shock).
~Before connecting the cooktop, you
must make sure that the electrical
rating (voltage and frequency,
indicated on the data plate)
corresponds to the household electrical
supply.
These ratings must match, in order to
avoid damaging the appliance. If in
doubt, please contact a qualified
electrician.
~To ensure safe operation, use the
appliance only after it has been
installed in place.
~Do not under any circumstances
open the cooktop housing.
Any contact with connections carrying
voltage, or changes to the electrical or
mechanical set-up, will endanger you
and may impair the functioning of the
appliance.
~Only professionals who are duly
authorized by the manufacturer should
perform installation work, maintenance,
and repairs on this appliance.
Work performed by unqualified persons
carries the risk of serious harm to the
user. The manufacturer will not be held
liable for such harm.
~Whenever performing installation or
maintenance work or repairs, the
appliance must be disconnected from
the power supply. The appliance is
considered to be electrically
disconnected when one of the following
conditions is met:
– The fuses or circuit breakers are
tripped.
–The screw-in type fuses are fully
unscrewed.
–The power cable is disconnected
from the electrical system.

~Repair of the cooktop during the
warranty period should be performed
only by a service who is authorized by
the manufacturer; otherwise, should
damage result, it will not be covered by
the warranty.
~Defective components should be
replaced by genuine Miele replacement
parts only. Only these parts are
guaranteed by the manufacturer to
comply with safety requirements.
~If the power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced with a special power
cord, which is available from the
manufacturer or from Customer Ser-
vice.
~Do not connect the appliance to the
power supply by an extension cord or
power strip, as they do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance
(danger of overheating, for example).
~If you discover that the cooktop is
defective or its ceramic glass is
chipped, cracked or broken in any way,
do not use it or immediately switch it off
and do not continue to operate it.
Disconnect the appliance from the
power supply. If you fail to follow these
steps, there is the danger of electric
shock!
Proper use
~For users who wear a pacemaker:
It is important to note that the appliance
is surrounded by an electromagnetic
field. It is unlikely that the pacemaker
will be affected.
However, it is wise to consult with your
cardiologist or the manufacturer of the
pacemaker if there is any doubt.
~Magnetized objects, such as credit
cards, diskettes, and calculators should
be kept away from the appliance when
it is on. Otherwise, they may be
affected.
~The cooktop is hot during use and
remains so for some time after being
switched off. The risk of burns remains
until the residual heat indicators have
switched off.
~Never leave the cooktop
unsupervised while in operation!
Cookware that boils dry and overheats
can cause damage to the glass
ceramic, and the manufacturer will not
be held liable for such damage.
Overheated fat or oil can ignite and
start a fire.
~If hot fat or oil catches fire, NEVER
use water to douse the flames. Use a
lid, or wet dishtowel, for example, to put
out the fire.

~Protect your hands when working
with a hot appliance - wear oven mitts,
and use potholders, etc. Make sure the
material is not wet or damp. This would
increase the transfer of heat to your
skin, and could cause burns.
~Never flambé food under an exhaust
hood. The flames can set fire to the
exhaust hood.
~Do not use the appliance as a
storage surface.
Do NOT use the appliance as a resting
place for cutlery or other items made of
metal
If the cooktop is on or accidentally
switched on or there is residual heat,
metallic objects can heat up and cause
burns.
Other items may melt or catch fire.
Damp lids can become attached to the
cooktop by suction.
Always switch the cooking zone(s) off
after use.
~NEVER cover the grill with a cloth or
foil stovetop protector. It could be hot
enough to set objects on fire.
~Do not use plastic or aluminum foil
or cookware. It can melt at high
temperatures. There is also the danger
of fire.
~NEVER use the appliance to heat up
closed containers, e.g., canned foods.
The increased pressure can cause the
containers/cans to explode, and this
carries the danger of injury and burns.
~Choose pots and pans with a
smooth bottom only. Rough cookware
can scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.
~Never heat dishware when it is
empty, unless expressly permitted by
the manufacturer. Because induction
heating works so quickly, the
temperature of the cookware bottom
can quickly reach the ignition point of
oils and fats.
~Keep the cooktop clean. Salt, sugar,
and grains of sand or dirt (for example,
from fresh vegetables) can cause
scratches.
~Never place hot cookware near the
control panel. The electronic unit
underneath might be damaged.
~Be careful that no objects or
cookware fall onto the glass ceramic
surface. Even a light object, such as a
salt shaker, can cause cracks and
chips in the glass ceramic.

~If sugar, sugary foods, plastic, or
aluminum foil fall onto a hot cooking
zone, switch the appliance off. Immedi-
ately, while the zone is still hot, use a
glass scraper to thoroughly eliminate
the spill from the cooking zone. Failure
to do so can lead to damage to the
glass ceramic as it cools down.
Exercise caution - danger of burns.
Once the cooking zone has cooled off,
clean it thoroughly.
~If a gadget is plugged into a socket
near the appliance, check to be sure
that the power cord does not come into
contact with the hot appliance. This
could damage the insulation on the
cord. Danger of electric shock!
~The appliance is equipped with a
cooling fan. If there is a drawer below
the cabinetry, you will need to ensure
there is enough space to allow for
ventilation. Do not use the drawer to
store sharp or small objects, or paper.
They could pass through (or be sucked
into) the ventilation slit in the housing
and damage the fan blades or
otherwise interfere with cooling.
~If there is a drawer below the
appliance, do NOT store any spray
cans, flammable liquids, or flammable
materials in the drawer. Cutlery trays
must be made of heat-resistant
material.
~Note that metal objects stored in a
drawer under the cooktop can become
hot when the appliance is in heavy use.
~Always cook food thoroughly.
Temperatures must be high enough,
and the cooking times long enough, to
kill any germs in the food.
~If the cooktop is installed above a
self-cleaning oven or stovetop, do not
use it during self-cleaning, as this could
trigger the overheat protection on the
cooktop (refer to the corresponding
section of the manual).
The manufacturer will not be held
liable for damage caused by failure
to comply with the safety information
and warnings.
