Technical safety
~Only skilled persons duly authorized
by the manufacturer may install this
appliance or perform maintenance and
repair work on it. Work performed by
unqualified persons carries the risk of
serious harm to the user, for which the
manufacturer will not be held liable.
~Before installation, check the
appliance for visible signs of external
damage. NEVER under any
circumstances operate a damaged
appliance. It may endanger your safety.
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed if it
is grounded in compliance with
applicable safety regulations. Is is very
important to make sure that this
essential safety requirement is met. In
case of doubt, have a qualified
electrician check the wiring. The
manufacturer will not be held liable for
damage or injury, such as electric
shock, caused by a missing or broken
grounding conductor.
~Before plugging in the appliance,
ensure that the electrical rating (voltage
and frequency, as indicated on the mo-
del data plate) corresponds to the
household electrical supply. These
ratings must match, in order to avoid
damaging the appliance. If in doubt,
please consult a qualified electrician.
~Do NOT use a power bar or
extension cord to connect the
appliance to the power supply. They do
not guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g., danger of overheating).
~For safety reasons, this appliance
must not be used as a free-standing
device. It must be properly installed.
~If the plug is removed from the
power cord, the appliance will need to
be installed and connected by a
qualified electrician. Please hire a
qualified electrician who is thoroughly
familiar with all applicable local and
national power authority regulations,
and who will carefully comply with
these requirements. The manufacturer
will not be held liable for damage
caused by incorrect installation or
connection.
~If the power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by a special cord
(Type H 05 W-F, PVC insulated), which
can be obtained from the manufacturer
or from Customer Service.

~Repair of the appliance during the
warranty period should be performed
only by Customer Service personnel
who are duly authorized by the
manufacturer; otherwise any damage
will not be covered by the warranty.
~Before any maintenance or repair
work is performed, the appliance must
be disconnected from the main power
supply. It is electrically disconnected
only 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 cord is disconnected from
the electrical power supply. To
disconnect appliances with plugs,
pull on the plug itself, instead of on
the cord.
~Defective components should be
replaced by Miele original replacement
parts only. Only these parts are
guaranteed by the manufacturer to
comply with safety requirements.
~Do not operate the grill if there is a
defect or if the ceramic surface of the
browning unit is cracked, chipped or
damaged in any way. Immediately
switch it off. Then disconnect it from the
power supply. If you fail to follow these
steps, there is a danger of electric
shock!
Correct use
~The appliance becomes hot during
use and remains so for some time after
being switched off. Caution: Danger of
burns!
~Protect your hands whenever
working with a hot appliance - wear
oven mitts and use potholders, for
example, making sure that they are not
wet or damp. Moisture would only
increase heat conductivity, potentially
causing burns.
~NEVER use the appliance to heat up
sealed containers, such as canned
foods. The resulting build-up of
pressure can cause containers to
explode, with the risk of injury and
burns.
~Do not use the appliance as a
space heater. The high temperatures
can cause easily flammable materials in
the vicinity to catch fire. This will also
reduce the lifespan of the appliance.
Safety instructions and warnings
6

~Do not set up or operate the
appliance in the open air.
~Do not use the ledge for storage. If
the appliance is accidentally switched
on or there is residual heat, there is the
danger that any items located there will
heat up and melt, depending on the
materials involved, and generating a
risk of fire and burns.
~Do not keep heat-sensitive items in
proximity to the appliance. The
appliance radiates heat during
operation. There is the danger that
such items - depending on the
material - will heat up and ignite, or
begin to melt or burn.
~Never leave the grill unattended
while browning or warming food. It
could burn and become inedible.
~If hot fat or oil catches fire, NEVER
use water to douse the flames. Use a
lid or a wet dishtowel, for example, to
smother the fire.
~If the appliance is plugged into a
nearby socket, 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 electrocution!
~Make sure that the dishware used is
heat-resistant. NEVER use plastic
dishes! Fire hazard!
~To avoid scratching, never place
anything on the surface of the browning
unit.
~Use only dishes with smooth
undersurfaces. Rough undersides will
scratch the ceramic surface. Move
dishes by lifting rather than sliding
them. This will help prevent scuffing
and scratching.
~Keep the appliance surfaces clean.
Grains of salt, sugar or sand may cause
scratching.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these
Important Safety instructions.

Useful tips
You can use the appliance to melt
cheese over such items as meat,
(toasted) bread, and vegetables. You
can also use the browning element for
desserts, to caramelize the sugar
topping on creme brûlée, for instance.
However, the appliance is not
suitable for reheating food
(store-bought dishes, leftovers).
After use
^Switch the appliance off.
^After each use, clean the appliance
while it is still somewhat warm to the
touch (see "Cleaning and care").
^Do not lower the browning unit until
the residual heat indicator has gone
out.
Operation
11

Safe retraction
To avoid damaging the appliance, your
grill is equipped with a retraction safety
device. The browning unit can be fully
retracted only once the appliance has
cooled sufficiently, i.e., after the
residual heat indicator has gone out.
Height recognition
The unit heats up only when the
browning unit is raised at least 2 3/4"
(70 mm) above the ledge.
Overheat protection
The halogen heating element in the
browning unit is equipped with
overheat protection. This feature
automatically switches off the heating
element if the ceramic cooktop is in
danger of overheating. Once the
ceramic surface has cooled down
sufficiently, the heating element
automatically switches back on. You
will recognize activation of the overheat
protection if the heat keeps switching
on and off at the highest power setting.
Obstruction protection
As soon as the browning unit
encounters any resistance with a
diameter greater than 3/8" (10 mm)
between the browning unit and the
ledge, the process is interrupted and
the browning unit automatically rises
again by about 3/8" (10 mm).

Warning: NEVER use a steam
cleaner to clean this appliance.
Steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Clean the appliance on a regular basis,
preferably after each use. First allow
the appliance to cool down. After any
cleaning with liquid, wipe the appliance
dry. This will help prevent limescale
deposits.
To avoid damge, do not use the
following cleaning products:
–products containing washing soda,
acids/alkalis, ammonia, or bleach,
–products containing scale removers,
–stain and rust removers,
–scouring cleansers, e.g., scouring
powder, scouring liquid, pumice
stones,
–products containing solvents,
–dishwasher cleaner,
– grill or oven spray cleaners,
– glass cleaners,
– scouring brushes and sponges (such
as pot scrubbers), or used sponges
that still contain abrasive cleanser
residue.
– sharp objects (they can damage the
seals between the frame and the
countertop).
Care and cleaning
13

Stainless steel
Use a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleanser for cleaning the appliance. To
help keep the appliance clean longer,
we recommend using a stainless steel
care product (see "Optional
accessories"). Apply the product
sparingly, using a soft cloth.
Do not use stainless steel cleanser
on areas where there is printing. It
will rub away the printing. Instead,
use a soft sponge with some dish
liquid and warm water to clean
printed areas.
Ledge
Clean the ledge after each use, with a
soft sponge, some dish washing liquid
and warm water. Pre-soak any stubborn
residue before cleaning. Dry all
surfaces with a soft cloth.
Note: The ledge is not dishwasher
safe.
The ledge can be removed for easier
cleaning of the ledge and the
underlying frame.
When re-inserting the ledge, check that
it is positioned correctly. If it is not
positioned correctly, the browning unit
will not lower completely.
Built-in frame
Clean the built-in frame regularly.
Always promptly remove food spatters
and liquids. Clean the frame with a soft
cloth, some dish detergent and warm
water, and then dry with a soft cloth.
Ceramic surface of the
browning unit.
First, remove any coarse residue with a
damp cloth.
Next, clean the surface with a special
cleaner for glass ceramic and stainless
steel (see "Optional accessories"), on
paper towel or a clean cloth. Do not
apply cleaner while the surface is still
hot, as this can leave spots. Follow the
instructions indicated by the
manufacturer of the cleaning product.
Finish by rinsing the ceramic surface
with a damp cloth, then dry. Be sure to
remove all cleaning product residue.
Failure to do so can cause residue to
burn into the surface during
subsequent use, damaging the
ceramic.
