Technical safety
~Installation, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
national and local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
~Before installation, check the
appliance for visible signs of damage.
Under no circumstances should you
use a damaged appliance. A damaged
appliance is dangerous.
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system. 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

The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that the
voltage and frequency details given on
the data plate correspond with the
on-site electricity supply, otherwise the
appliance could be damaged. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
~Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an extension
lead or a multi-socket unit. These do
not guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
~For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used when it has been
built in.
~This appliance may be connected
via a fused plug and switched socket. If
you wish to connect it to an fused spur
connection unit, or if the appliance is
supplied without a plug, it must be
installed and connected by a suitably
qualified and competent person in strict
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage caused by incorrect
installation or connection.
~If the connection cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by a suitably
qualified electrician with a special
connection cable of type H 05 V V-F
(pvc insulated), available from Miele.
~Never open the housing of the
appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.
Warning and Safety instructions
9

~While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee will be
invalidated.
~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 fuse is disconnected,
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable),
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn from the
socket, or
– it is switched off at the fused spur
connection unit.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
~In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.
Correct use
~The appliance gets hot when in use
and remains hot for quite a while after
being switched off. Do not touch it
whilst it could still be hot.
Caution: Danger of burning.
~For added protection, it is advisable
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance. Do
not let them get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the
material more quickly with the risk of
scalding or burning yourself.
~Do not heat up unopened tins of
food on the grill as pressure will build
up in the tin, causing it to explode. This
could result in injury and scalding or
damage.
~Do not use the appliance to heat up
the room, and never switch it on with
the heating element in the raised
position. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire. The life of the
appliance could also be reduced.
~This appliance must not be set up or
operated in the open air.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else. The
article could melt or catch fire if
residual heat is still present or if the
appliance is switched on by mistake.
~Do not cover the appliance, e.g.
with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could
be a fire hazard if the appliance is
switched on by mistake.
~Never leave the appliance
unattended when it is switched on.
Overheated oil or residues of food or fat
on the lava rocks could flare up and
even set the cooker hood alight. Fire
hazard.
~If, despite this, oil or fat does catch
fire, do not attempt to put out the flames
with water. Use a suitable fire blanket,
saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to
smother the flames.
~When grilling or keeping food warm,
do not use grill pans, griddles,
saucepans or similar on the open grill,
and never cover the rack (e.g. with
aluminium foil) or use disposable
aluminium foil containers. The resulting
build-up of heat could damage the
rack.
~Clean the lava rocks regularly and
replace them when necessary. Rocks
which are saturated catch fire easily.
The grill trough and the lava rock
container should be cleaned after each
use to keep them free of oil and fat.
~Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and quantity of
the food and its temperature.
Some foods may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking at a
sufficiently high temperature for long
enough. Therefore, when cooking or
reheating food such as poultry, it is
particularly important that the food is
completely cooked through. If in doubt,
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.
~The grill trough must always be filled
with water whenever the grill is in use.
~When using an electric socket near
the appliance, care should be taken
that the cable of the electrical
appliance does not come into contact
with the hot appliance. The insulation
on the cable could become damaged,
giving rise to an electric shock hazard.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be
recycled.
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.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
recycled.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre, and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be disconnected from the
mains electricity supply by a competent
person.

documentation in the space provided in
the "After sales service" section of this
booklet.
Cleaning for the first time
^Remove any protective foil and
adhesive labels.
^Wash the grill trough and the rack in
hot water with a little washing-up
liquid, and dry thoroughly (see
"Cleaning and care").
^Clean the other surfaces with a damp
cloth, and then wipe dry.
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight
smell when heated up for the first
time. The smell and any vapours will
dissipate after a short time, and do
not indicate a faulty connection or
appliance.

To prepare the grill
The grill can be used with or without the
lava rocks. Without the lava rocks the
rising steam keeps the food being
grilled moist. Grilling with the lava rocks
creates a particularly intensive aroma.
^Check that the drain tap is closed.
^Remove the rack (or racks,
depending on model), lift up the
heating elements, and if not being
used, take the lava rock container
out.
^Fill the grill trough
–when grilling without lava rocks up
to marker line awith
approx. 3.0 litres of water (CS 1312)
approx. 4.5 litres of water (CS 1322).
–when grilling with lava rocks with
approx. 2.5 litres of water (CS 1312)
approx. 3.5 litres of water (CS 1322).
^If using lava rocks, put the container
back in the grill trough.
^Lower the heating elements again,
and put the rack back on it.
Switching on and off
The grill has 2 heating elements which
can be switched on and regulated
independently. Both elements can be
used together when grilling large
quantities of food. For smaller
quantities, the front element can be
used to grill the food whilst the rear
element can be used to keep food
warm at settings 3 or 4.
To switch the heating elements on or
off, the appropriate control is turned in
a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.
Nlights up in the display after the
appliance has been switched on, and
goes out again once the grill has been
switched off.
Operation
16

Grilling
When grilling, keep an eye on the
level of water in the trough. If
necessary, add more water.
When grilling or keeping food warm,
do not use grill pans, griddles,
saucepans or similar on the open
grill, and never cover the rack(s)
(e.g. with aluminium foil). The
resulting build-up of heat could
damage the rack(s).
^Turn one or both controls to setting
"12".
^Pre-heat the grill with the rack(s) in
place for approx. 5 minutes.
^Select the setting you require.
^Turn the food once or more during
grilling.
Useful tips
–Pat dry wet food with kitchen paper
to absorb surplus moisture and avoid
spitting.
–To prevent meat drying out, do not
season with salt until after it has
been cooked.
–Marinating often improves the flavour
of food to be grilled.
–Brush food that has not been
marinated with a little oil. Only use
oils that can be heated to a high
temperature.
– The grilling time for jacket potatoes
and corn on the cob can be reduced
by pre-cooking potatoes for 15-40
minutes (depending on the size) and
corn on the cob for 10-15 minutes.
After grilling
^Switch off the appliance.
^Clean the grill after each use while it
is still warm to the touch (see
“Cleaning and care”).
^After grilling check the appearance
of the lava rocks. If they look dark,
they are saturated with oil and must
be cleaned or replaced.
Operation
17

Overheating protection
A safety cut-out automatically switches
the appliance off if the water level
drops too low.
^Add some cold water.
As soon as the appliance has cooled
down, the heating elements switch
back on again and you can continue
grilling.
Safety switch-out
A safety cut-out ensures that the grill
elements only heat up when they are
lying horzontally and not when they are
raised up.
Safety features
18

,Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaning appliance to clean
this appliance. The steam could
attack the electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
Pressurised steam could also cause
permanent damage to the surface
and to other components, for which
the manufacturer cannot accept
liability.
Clean the appliance regularly,
preferably after each use. Allow the
appliance to cool down to a safe
temperature before cleaning. After
cleaning, the grill must be thoroughly
dried with a soft cloth to prevent a
build-up of limescale deposits.
Abrasive cleaning agents and
scouring sponges may only be used
to clean the heating elements.
To avoid damaging the stainless
steel surfaces of your appliance, do
not use:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
alkalines, ammonia, acids or
chlorides,
–cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
–stain or rust removers,
–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
– solvent-based cleaning agents,
– dishwasher cleaner,
– grill and oven cleaners,
– glass cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scourers, brushes or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents,
–sharp pointed objects
(these can damage the seal between
the frame and the worktop).
Cleaning and care
19

Stainless steel
A non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner
is suitable for cleaning stainless steel
surfaces.
To help prevent resoiling, we
recommend a stainles steel conditioner
(see "Accessories").
Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on printed surfaces. This
would rub off the print. These areas
should be only cleaned with an
E-Cloth or with a solution of warm
water and a little washing-up liquid
applied with a soft sponge.
Racks and lava rock container
Wash the racks and lava rock container
after every use in hot water and a little
washing-up liquid. Soak to remove
heavy soiling, and then scrub clean
with a brush. Leave them to dry
thoroughly.
Do not use cleaning agents for
stainless steel on the lava rock
container.
Heating elements
Use a scouring sponge to clean any
residues left on the heating elements.
Lava rocks
Clean the lava rocks regularly.
Soak them in a suitable container in hot
water with a little washing-up liquid,
then swirl them around in the water
several times. Pour away the dirty
water, and rinse 2 or 3 times in clean
water. Lay the rocks out to dry on a
suitable towel.
