can damage the seal.
~Make sure that all dishes and crockery used with the
appliance are heat-resistant. Never use plastic dishes.
Fire hazard.
~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.
~Only use smooth-based dishes. Rough bases will
scratch the ceramic glass surface. Lift pans to move
them. Sliding them into place can cause scuffs and
scratches.
~When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held
food blender, near the Salamander, ensure that the
cable of the electrical appliance does not come into

appliance supplied with this
documentation in the space provided in
the "After sales service, data plate,
guarantee" section of this booklet.
Cleaning for the first time
^Remove any protective foil and
adhesive labels.
^Clean all surfaces with a damp cloth,
and then wipe dry.
The metal components have a
protective coating which may give off
a slight smell when heated up for the
first time. The smell and any vapours
will dissipate after a short time, and
do not indicate a faulty connection or
appliance.
Before using for the first time

reached. It only goes out once the
ceramic surface of the browning unit
can be touched safely.
The appliance only heats up when
the browning unit is raised to at least
70 mm.
Operation
15

To brown or crisp food
^Raise the browning unit.
^Place the dish containing food to be
browned on the ceramic 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 ceramic
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
16

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 ceramic 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
17

Miele offer a range of 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 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, or sponges which
have been previously used with
abrasive cleaning agents,
– sharp pointed objects
(these can damage the seal between
the frame and the worktop)
–melamine eraser blocks,
Cleaning and care
18

Stainless steel
The Miele ceramic and stainless steel
hob cleaning agent is suitable for
cleaning stainless steel surfaces (see
"Optional accessories").
To help prevent re-soiling, we
recommend a stainless steel
conditioning agent (see "Optional
accessories").
Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
Do not use the ceramic and
stainless steel hob 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
and 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 light soiling with a damp cloth.
Then clean the surface with a suitable
ceramic and stainless steel hob
cleaning agent (see "Optional
accessories") applied with kitchen
paper or a clean cloth. Do not apply
cleaning agent whilst the surface is still
hot, as this could result in marking.
Please follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Do not use washing-up liquid on the
ceramic surface of the browning
unit.
Finally, wipe the surface with a damp
cloth, then polish dry with a clean, soft
cloth. Ensure that all cleaning agent
residues are removed. Residues can
burn onto the surface the next time it is
heated up and cause damage.
Cleaning and care
19

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. 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 it has,
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 ceramic 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 ceramic 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
ceramic standing surface (see "Safety
features / Obstruction sensor").
