Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
 Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check
the hob for visible signs of damage.
 Reliable and safe operation of this hob can only be assured if it
has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 The electrical safety of this hob can only be guaranteed when
correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement
is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by
a registered electrical worker.
 To avoid the risk of damage to the hob, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the
mains electricity supply before connecting it to the mains.
Consult a registered electrical worker if in doubt.
 Do not connect the hob to the mains electrical supply by a multi-
socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not
guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
 For safety reasons, this hob may only be used after it has been
built in.
 This hob must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
 Never open the casing of the hob.
Touching or tampering with electrical connections or components
and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
 While the hob is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
 The hob is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a
remote control system.
 Connection to the gas supply must be carried out by a registered
gas installer. The hob may be connected to the electrical supply by a
fused plug and switched socket. If you wish to connect it to a fused
spur connection, or if the plug has been removed or the connection
cable is not supplied with a plug, the hob must be connected to the
mains supply by a registered electrical worker.
 If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a
registered electrical worker with a special connection cable of type H
05 VV-F (pvc insulated). See "Electrical connection".
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the hob must be
disconnected from the mains electricity supply. The gas supply must
also be shut off. Depending on territory this is done in one of several
different ways:
– the mains fuse has been removed, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed (if applicable), or
– switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug from the
socket. Pull by the plug and not by the mains connection cable to
disconnect from the mains electricity supply.
– the gas inlet valve is closed.
 Danger of electric shock!
Do not use the hob if it is faulty, or if the ceramic surface is cracked,
chipped or damaged in any way. If it is in use switch it off
immediately. Disconnect it from the mains electricity supply, shut off
the gas supply, and contact Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 If the appliance is installed behind a furniture door, do not close
the door while the appliance is in operation. Heat and moisture
would build up behind a closed furniture door, potentially causing
damage to the appliance, the furniture unit and the flooring. Wait
until the appliance has cooled down completely before closing the
furniture door.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
Correct use
 The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for some
time after being switched off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a
possibility that it could still be hot.
 Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the hob
when it is in use could catch fire.
Do not use the hob to heat up the room.
 Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the hob
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not
attempt to put the flames out with water.
Disconnect the hob from the mains and use a suitable fire blanket,
saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
 Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do
not flambé under a cooker hood.
 Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
 Do not heat an empty pan.
 Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the hob, as pressure can build up in the container, causing it to
explode.
 Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective
foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the hob is
switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
 When the hob is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of any metal
items left on the hob heating up, with the danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other items left on the appliance could
also melt or catch fire. Do not use the hob as a resting place.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
 You could burn yourself on the hot hob. Protect your hands with
heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself on steam. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the
gas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, tea towels or other similar
materials.
 When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food blender,
near the hob, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot
come into contact with the hot hob. The insulation on the cable
could become damaged.
 Even a light object can cause damage in certain circumstances.
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
 Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the hob.
 If a cooker hood is installed above the hob, ensure that the
burners are always covered with a pan when in use. Otherwise
flames could reach the cooker hood, parts of which could then be
damaged or even set on fire.
 Only light the gas burners after all burner parts have been properly
assembled.
 Pans must be the correct size for the burner they are used on (see
"Pans"). A pan which is too small will be unstable on the pan
support. If the pan diameter is too large, flames can spread out to
the sides and damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings or
surrounding units and also parts of the cooktop. Miele cannot be
held liable for this type of damage.
 Ensure that the flames from the burner do not spread out beyond
the base and up the sides of the pan.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
 Do not use pans with very thin bases on this hob, and never heat
up empty pans as they could get damaged. This could also damage
the appliance.
 The pan support supplied with the appliance must always be
used. Never place a pan on the burner itself.
 Replace the pan supports carefully to avoid scratching the surface
of the hob.
 Do not use or store flammable materials near this hob.
 Remove splashes of fat and other food debris from the surface of
the hob as soon as possible. These are a fire hazard.
 The use of the hob creates heat, moisture and combustion
products in the room where it is installed. Make sure that the
appliance is installed in a location with sufficient ventilation. Natural
ventilation openings should not be blocked. Alternatively, a
mechanical ventilation device (e.g. a cooker hood) can be installed.
 Prolonged intensive use of the hob may require additional
ventilation of the room, e.g., by opening a window, or by operating
the cooker hood on a higher setting.
 Do not use roasting dishes, pans or grilling stones that are large
enough to cover more than one burner. The resulting build-up of
heat could damage the hob.
 If the hob has not been used for a longer period of time, it should
be thoroughly cleaned before it is used again. It is also advisable to
have it tested by registered gas installer for safety. This should be
done at regular intervals.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this hob.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.

Caring for the environment
16
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. 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 for electrical and electronic
appliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on
territory) for deleting any personal data
that may be stored on the appliance
being disposed of. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to
disposal.
