Technical safety
~Installation, maintenance and repair work may only be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance
with national and local safety regulations. Installation, maintenance
and repairs by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Miele
cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
~A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check the appliance
for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
~The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if
correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is
any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician.
~To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the
connection data (frequency and voltage) on the data plate
corresponds to the household supply, before connecting the
appliance to the mains supply.
Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
~Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee

been built in.
~This cooktop must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).

Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.

~If the cooktop is fitted with a communication module, in addition
to disconnecting the cooktop, this module must also be
disconnected from the mains electricity during installation and
maintenance of the cooktop as well as while any repair work is being
carried out.

Correct use
~Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the
appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fat. If oil or fat does
catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with water.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains and use a suitable fire
blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
~Do not flambé under a rangehood. The flames could set the
rangehood on fire.
~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 unopened tins of food on the cooktop, as
pressure will build up in the tin, causing it 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
appliance is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still
present.
~When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food
blender, near the appliance, ensure that the cable of the electrical
appliance cannot come into contact with the hot appliance. The
insulation on the cable could become damaged.
