The use of the appliance by the
elderly or infirm or those who have
not used the appliance before
should be supervised by a
competent and responsible person
to avoid the risk of injury.
This appliance complies with all
relevant legal safety requirements.
Incorrect use can, however, lead to
personal injury and damage to the
appliance.
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the appliance, read
these instructions carefully before
using it for the first time. They
contain important notes on the
installation, safety, operation and
care of the appliance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place for reference and pass them
on to any future user.
Building in and connection
If the appliance is supplied without a
plug, or if the plug is removed, it must
be connected to the mains electricity
supply 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.
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system which
complies with current local and national
safety regulations. 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
inspected by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an extension
lead. Extension leads do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance
(e.g. danger of overheating).
~This equipment may only be used in
mobile installations such as ships,
caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.

A cooker hood above the grill
~This appliance should not be used
in conjunction with a hood that uses
paper or carbon filters.
~The open grill should not be used
with a recirculating cooker hood.
~When placing this appliance below
an extractor, the outlet system of the
extractor must be metallic throughout
its length and heat proof.
~The extractor outlet ducting must
comply with national and local building
regulations.
~Should any additional mechanical
ventilation be present then the effect of
this additional ventilation on the
combustion and flame performance of
any existing appliances must be
determined before any cooking
appliances are used.
~Distance from the grill to the hood
should be no less than 650 mm.
~All fat filters in the extractor must be
cleaned regularly. Fat build up in the
filter is a potential fire hazard.
~Your Miele sales agent or the Miele
technical service department will be
pleased to provide information on the
correct installation of any Miele
appliance.
Correct usage
~For safety reasons this appliance
must only be operated after it has been
built in. This is necessary to ensure that
all electrical components are shielded.
~This appliance is intended for
domestic use only and is not to be used
for commercial purposes.
~Use this appliance for the
preparation of food only. Any other
usage is at the owner's risk and could
be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damage
caused by incorrect or improper use of
the appliance.
~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
~When using the grill, the grill trough
must always be filled with water.

Safety with children
~The appliance is only intended for
use by adults who have read these
operating instructions.
~This appliance is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury keep children well
away and do not let them play with it or
use the controls. They will not
understand the potential dangers
posed by it. They should be supervised
whenever you are working in the
kitchen.
~Older children may use the
appliance only when its operation has
been clearly explained to them, and
they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
Supervise its use by the elderly or
infirm.
~The appliance gets hot when in use
and remains hot for quite a while after
being switched off. To safeguard
against burning, keep children well
away from the appliance at all times.
~Do not store anything which might
arouse a child's interest in storage
areas above or next to the appliance.
Otherwise they could be tempted into
climbing onto the appliance with the
risk of burning themselves.
~To prevent the risk of children
burning themselves with potentially hot
fat or oil please make sure that they
cannot access the drain tap and open
it.
~Packaging, e.g. cling film,
polystyrene and plastic wrappings must
be kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Dispose of or recycle all packaging
safely as soon as possible.
~Old appliances must be
disconnected from the power supply,
any plug rendered useless and the
cable cut off directly behind the
appliance to ensure it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Protecting the appliance from
damage
~When grilling or keeping food warm,
do not use pots and pans 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.
~Do not drop anything on the glass
surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.
~Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could reach
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.
~KM 411-3
Take care when cleaning the control
panel. It is susceptible to scratching
and acidic agents. To prevent the risk
of residual marks please wipe any
soiling off as soon as possible.
~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 and other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance
guarantee.
Protection from burning and
scalding
~Never leave the grill unattended
while grilling is taking place.
Overheated oil or residues of food or fat
on the lava rocks could flare up and
even set the cooker hood alight.
~Should anything catch fire despite
this do not attempt to put the flames out
with water. Instead extinguish the
flames using a suitable fire blanket,
damp towel or similar to smother the
flames.
~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
burning yourself.
~Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else. This
could lead to a danger of the article
beginning to melt or catching fire, if
residual heat were still present or if the
appliance was 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 was
switched on by mistake.
~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.

Appliance faults
~In the event of damage or a defect,
switch off the appliance immediately.
Disconnect completely from the
electricity supply. If the appliance has
not yet been fully installed, the
electricity cable must be disconnected
from the supply point. If connected via
a plug and socket, switch off at the
socket and withdraw the plug. Contact
the Service Department.
Do not reconnect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply until after it has
been repaired.
~If there is any damage to the glass
surface the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply immediately and not used until it
has been repaired. Danger of electric
shock.
~Repairs must only be carried out by
a suitably qualified and competent
person. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be very
dangerous and could damage the
appliance. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for unauthorised work. Never
open the housing of the appliance.
~While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
Further safety notes
~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.
~Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food and its temperature. Some foods
may contain micro-organisms which are
only destroyed by thorough cooking;
therefore when cooking or reheating
foods such as poultry, it is particularly
important that the food is completely
cooked through. If in doubt, select a
longer cooking or reheating time.
~If the appliance is installed in a room
without air conditioning in areas with
high levels of humidity, there is a risk of
moisture settling on the heater elements
if it is not used for longer periods of
time.
When next used this could cause the
fuse to trip. To prevent this risk it is
advisable to switch the appliance on
every 6 months for 15 minutes using the
highest power setting.
Make sure there are no flammable
objects near the appliance during this
process and do not leave the appliance
unattended.
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.
Packaging, e.g. cling film, polystyrene
and plastic wrappings must be kept out
of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation.
Dispose of or recycle all packaging
materials safely as soon as possible.
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 your
old appliance 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 unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply by a competent person. If
connected by a plug, the plug must be
rendered useless and the cable cut off
directly behind the appliance to prevent
misuse.
