To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the appliance, please
read these instructions carefully
before using it for the first time. They
contain important notes on its
installation, safety, use and
maintenance.
This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning its use by a
person responsible for their safety.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place for reference, and pass them
on to any future user.
Technical safety
~The appliance 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.
~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 regularly tested, 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).
~Never open the casing of the
appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components is highly dangerous to
the user and can cause operational
faults.
Warning and safety instructions
15

Correct use
~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.
~Do not leave the appliance
unattended whilst it is in use.
Pans that have boiled dry can cause
damage to the ceramic surface for
which the manufacturer cannot be held
liable.
Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause
a fire.
~This appliance is intended for
domestic use 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 resulting from incorrect or
improper use or operation.
~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.
~During prolonged or intensive use of
the appliance, the frame and the
control panel get hot. This is quite
normal and does not indicate a fault.
Warning and safety instructions
16

Safety with children
~Use the safety lock to prevent
children operating the appliance or
altering the settings.
~The appliance is only intended for
use by adults who have read these
instructions.
~This appliance is not a toy! To avoid
the risk of injury, keep children well
away, and do not allow them to 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.
~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.
~Keep all pans out of reach of
children. Turn pan handles inwards
away from the edge of the hob. Danger
of burning or scalding. Special hob
guards are available from good retail
outlets.
~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.
Warning and safety instructions
17

Protecting the appliance from
damage
~Do not use pots and pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with
pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast
iron pans. These could scratch or scour
the hob surface permanently.
~Never heat an empty pan unless
the manufacturer of the pan expressly
states that you can do so. This could
damage the appliance.
~Keep the hob clean. Grains of salt,
sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning
vegetables) can cause scratches.
~Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium
foil to get onto the cooking zones when
they are hot. If this should occur, switch
off the appliance, and carefully scrape
off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium
residues from the hob whilst they are
still hot, using a shielded scaper blade.
Take care not to burn yourself.
If residues are allowed to cool before
being removed, the ceramic surface
will be susceptible to pitting or even
cracking.
Once the residues have been removed,
allow the cooking zone to cool down,
and then clean with a suitable
proprietary ceramic hob cleaner.
~To prevent the risk of spillages etc.
burning on, remove any soiling as
quickly as possible and ensure that pan
bases are clean, dry and free of
grease.
~Do not drop anything on the ceramic
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
the electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
~Never place hot pans on the area
around the controls. This could damage
the electronic unit underneath.
Warning and safety instructions
18

Protection from burning and
scalding
~The surface of the appliance is hot
when in use, and remains hot for quite
a while after being switched off. There
is a danger of burning until the residual
heat indicators go out.
~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 hob, as pressure will build
up in the tin and it can explode. This
could result in injury and scalding or
damage.
~Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else. When
the appliance is switched on either
deliberately or by mistake, or when
there is residual heat present, there is
the risk of metal objects heating up,
with a danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other
objects left on the hob could also melt
or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the
ceramic surface and be difficult to
dislodge.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
~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.
~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.
~Do not flambé under a cooker hood.
The flames could set the cooker hood
on fire.
Warning and safety instructions
19

Appliance faults
~In the event of damage or a defect,
switch off the appliance immediately.
Disconnect completely from the
electricity supply. Contact the Miele
Customer Contact Centre.
Do not reconnect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply until after it has
been repaired.
~If there is any damage to the
ceramic surface, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply immediately, and not used until
it has been repaired. Danger of electric
shock.
~If the connection cable is damaged,
this must be replaced by a suitably
qualified electrician with a special
connection cable of type H 05 W-F or
H 05 RR-F, available from the Miele
Customer Contact Centre.
~Repairs may only be carried out by
a suitably qualified and competent
person in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. 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 will be
invalidated.
Futher 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
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.
~Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high
temperatures, and could damage the
ceramic surface and catch fire.
~If a domestic animal gets onto the
hob, a sensor could be touched and a
cooking zone switched on. Keep pets
away from the hob at all times.
~Spray canisters, aerosols and other
inflammable substances must not be
stored in a drawer under the hob.
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
