Warning and Safety instructions
8

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 under the browning unit 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. 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.
~Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else. The
article could melt or catch fire if the
appliance is switched on by mistake or
if residual heat is still present.
~Do not leave any flammable objects
near the appliance. It radiates heat
during use, and there is a high risk that
articles could melt or catch fire.
~Never leave the appliance
unattended when it is switched on.
Food could burn and become inedible.
~If oil or fat catches 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 using an electric socket near
the appliance, care should be taken
that the cable of the electrical
appliance does not come into contact
with a hot surface. The insulation on the
cable could become damaged, giving
rise to an electric shock hazard.
~Make sure that all dishes and
crockery used with the appliance are
heat-resistant. Never use plastic
dishes. Fire hazard.
~To avoid the risk of scratches, do
not use the top of the browning unit as
a resting place for items.
~Only use smooth-based dishes.
Rough bases will scratch the ceramic
surface. Take care to lift dishes onto the
standing surface: sliding them into
place will cause scuffs and scratches.
~Keep the ceramic surface clean.
Grains of salt, sugar or sand (e.g. from
cleaning vegetables) can cause
scratches.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Operation
12

To brown or crisp food
^Raise the browning unit.
^Place the dish containing food to be
browned on the standing surface.
^Lower the browning unit until the
distance between the food and the
heating element is approx. 3-5 cm.
^Turn the right-hand control to setting
"12". Make sure that the control is
exactly positioned at the "12".
The food will be browned in 3-5
minutes, depending on how brown or
crisp you would like it to be.
Only one dish of food can be
browned at a time.
Keeping food warm
Dishes can be kept warm for a few
minutes under the salamander.
^Raise the browning unit.
^Place the dish containing the food to
be kept warm on the standing
surface.
^Lower the browning unit until the
distance between the food and the
heating element is approx. 10 cm.
^Turn the right-hand control to a
medium setting.
Useful tips
The salamander is perfect for browning
and crisping food topped with cheese
(e.g. meat and pasta dishes, croque
monsieur, vegetable gratin) and
caramelised sweet dishes such as
crème brûlée.
The salamander cannot be used to
re-heat food.
After use
^Switch the appliance off.
^Clean the appliance after each use
while it is still warm to the touch (see
"Cleaning and care").
^Do not lower the browning unit until
the residual heat indicator has gone
out.
Operation
13

Thermal retraction stop sensor
Your salamander is fitted with a thermal
retraction stop sensor to prevent
damage to the appliance when
lowering the browning unit. This
ensures that the browning unit can only
be fully lowered once the appliance has
cooled down sufficiently, i.e. once the
residual heat indicator has gone out.
Height recognition
The appliance only heats up when the
browning unit is raised to at least 70
mm above the standing surface.
Overheating protection
The halogen heating element in the
browning unit is fitted with overheating
protection. This switches off the heating
element automatically before the
ceramic surface overheats. Once the
ceramic surface has cooled down to a
safe level, the heating element will
automatically switch back on again.
You can tell that the overheating
protection has activated because the
heating switches on and off even when
the highest setting is selected
Obstruction sensor
If the browning unit meets an
obstruction (e.g. a dish) whilst it is
being lowered, it stops immediately and
rises again by approx. 10 mm.
Safety features

Miele offer a range of branded cleaning
and conditioning agents for your
appliance. See “Optional accessories”.
,Do not use a steam cleaning
appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Clean the appliance regularly,
preferably after each use. Allow the
appliance to cool down to a safe
temperature before cleaning. To avoid
water marks and limescale deposits,
use a soft cloth to dry surfaces that
have been cleaned with water.
To avoid damaging the surface 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

– sharp pointed objects
(these can damage the seal between
the frame and the worktop).
Cleaning and care
15

Stainless steel
The ceramic and stainless steel hob
cleaner is suitable for cleaner stainless
steel surfaces (see "Optional
accessories").
To help prevent resoiling, we
recommend a stainless steel
conditioner (see "Optional
accessories").
Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaning
agent 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.
Standing surface
Clean the standing surface after each
use using an E-Cloth or with a solution
of warm water and a little washing-up
liquid applied with a soft sponge.
Stubborn soiling should be soaked first.
After cleaning, dry with a clean, soft
cloth.
The standing surface must not be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
You can remove the standing surface to
clean it and to access the building-in
frame underneath it for cleaning.
Make sure that the standing surface is
in the correct position when you
replace it. If it is not positioned
correctly, you will not be able to lower
the browning unit to its full extent.
Building-in frame
Clean the building-in frame regularly.
Remove any food deposits or liquid im-
mediately. Clean it with an E-Cloth or
with a solution of warm water and a little
washing-up liquid applied with a soft
sponge. Dry it thoroughly with a clean,
soft cloth.
Ceramic surface of the
browning unit
Remove coarse soiling with a damp
cloth.
Then clean the surface with a suitable
ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner
(see "Optional accessories") applied
with kitchen paper or a clean cloth. Do
not apply cleaner whilst the surface is
still hot, as this could result in marking.
Please follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Finally, wipe the surface with a damp
cloth, then polish dry with a clean, soft
cloth. Ensure that all cleaner residues
are removed. Residues can burn onto
the surface the next time it is heated up
and cause damage.
Cleaning and care
16

Installation work and repairs to
electrical appliances must only be
carried out by a suitably qualified
and competent person in strict
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations (BS 7671
in the UK). Repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
What to do if ...
... you cannot raise the browning
unit.
Check whether
– food deposits have hardened or
anything has become stuck in the
gap around the browning unit.
– the mains fuse has tripped. If the
fuse has blown, contact a qualified
electrician or the Miele Service
department.
... the appliance does not heat up.
Check whether
–the browing unit is raised sufficiently.
It must be raised by at least 70 mm.
–the standing surface has been
inserted and is positioned correctly.
There was an interruption to the power
supply during operation, and the
heating has switched itself off.
To operate the appliance again,
–turn the control to "0".
–lower the browning unit fully.
... the halogen heating element
switches off intermittently.
This is quite normal and does not
indicate incorrect operation or a fault
with the appliance.
... when setting "12" is selected, the
appliance does not get hot enough
for the food to start browning.
Check that the mark on the control is
exactly positioned at the "12". The
appliance operates at a lower power
level when the control is positioned
between the "12" and the "0".
... the browing unit cannot be
lowered.
Check whether
– the appliance has cooled down
sufficiently. The residual heat
indicator must have gone out.
– the standing surface is positioned
correctly.
... everytime the browning unit is
lowered it rises shortly afterwards.
Check whether there is an object
between the browning unit and the
standing surface (see "Safety features /
Obstruction sensor").
