Warning and Safety instructions
14

Technical safety
~Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger to users. Installation, maintenance and repair
work must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
~A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check the appliance
for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
~The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if
correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is
any doubt, the installation should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
~To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the
connection data (frequency and voltage) on the data plate
corresponds to the household supply, before connecting the
appliance to the mains supply.
Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
~Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by an
extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance.
~For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
~This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
~Do not open the casing of the appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
Warning and Safety instructions
15

~While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician authorised by Miele. Otherwise
the guarantee is invalidated.
~The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance
when original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.
~The hob is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a
remote control system.
~The hob must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified
electrician. If the connection cable is faulty, it must be replaced with
a special connection cable installed by a qualified electrician. See
"Electrical connection".
~The appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity
supply during installation, maintenance and repair work. Ensure that
power is not supplied to the appliance until after it has been
installed or until any maintenance or repair work has been carried
out.
~If the hob is fitted with a communication module, in addition to
disconnecting the hob, this module must also be disconnected from
the mains electricity during installation and maintenance of the hob
as well as while any repair work is being carried out.
~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. Switch it off immediately, and
disconnect it from the mains electricity supply.
~In 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 or other vermin will not be covered
by the guarantee.
Warning and Safety instructions
16

Correct use
~Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the
appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fat.
If oil or fat does catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with
water. Disconnect the appliance 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 appliance. Cutlery inserts must be
heat-resistant.
~Do not heat an empty pan.
~Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob, as pressure will
build up in the tin, 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 appliance is
switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
~When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food
blender, near the appliance, ensure that the cable of the electrical
appliance cannot come into contact with the hot appliance. The
insulation on the cable could become damaged.
~If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may
only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the door
whilst the hob in use or whilst there is any residual heat present.
~The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the
residual heat indicators go out.
Warning and Safety instructions
17

~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.
~When the appliance 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 hob could also
melt or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult
to dislodge.
Do not use the appliance as a resting place.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
~Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or
aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot, as
they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this
should occur, switch off the appliance and scrape off all the sugar,
plastic or aluminium residues whilst still hot, using a shielded
scraper blade. Wear oven gloves.
Allow the cooking zones to cool down and then clean them with a
suitable ceramic hob cleaning agent.
~Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.
~Do not use pots or pans on the hob with bases with pronounced
edges or ridges. These could scratch or scour the ceramic glass
surface permanently. Only use pots and pans with smooth bases.
~Lift pans into position on the hob. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
Warning and Safety instructions
18

~Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables)
can cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that
the ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.
~Even a light object could cause damage in certain
circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
~Do not place hot pans on the sensors and display as this could
cause damage to the electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans
on the area around the display.
~Induction heating works extremely quickly and so the base of the
pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites
within a very short time. Do not leave the appliance unattended
whilst it is being used.
~Heat oil or fat for a maximum of one minute. Do not use the
Booster function to heat oil or fat.
~For people fitted with a heart pacemaker:
Please note that the area immediately surrounding the hob is
electromagnetically charged. It is unlikely to affect a pacemaker.
However, if in any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker
or your doctor.
~To prevent damage to items which are susceptible to magnetic
fields, e.g. credit cards, digital storage devices, pocket calculators,
etc, do not leave them in the immediate vicinity of the hob.
~Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the hob can become hot if
the appliance is used intensively for a long time. Do not store any
metal items or utensils in a drawer under the hob.
Warning and Safety instructions
19

~This hob is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly
underneath the hob, ensure that there is sufficient space between
the drawer and its contents and the underside of the appliance in
order to ensure sufficient ventilation of the hob.
Do not store pointed or small items or paper in the drawer. They
could get in through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the
housing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.
~Do not use two pans on a cooking zone, extended zone or
PowerFlex zone at the same time.
Cleaning and care
~Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
~If the hob is built in over a pyrolitic oven or cooker, the hob
should not be used whilst the pyrolitic process is being carried out,
as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the
hob (see relevant section).
