IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety with children Do not leave children unattended: Children should not be alone or unsupervised in the area where the appliance is installed. Do not al- low them to sit or stand on the appliance. Be sure to supervise any children in the vicinity of the cooktop, and do not let them play with it.
Page 6
Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and re- pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician. Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the cooktop for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is damaged.
Page 7
When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. The cooktop may only be combined with ovens specified by Miele as suitable for use with it. If it is used in combination with other ovens, the warranty will be invalidated, as trouble-free operation can no longer be ensured.
Page 8
Switch it off immediately. Disconnect the cooktop from the electrical power supply. Contact Miele Service. If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the door while the cooktop is in operation.
Page 9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Correct use The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while af- ter being turned off. There is a potential hazard until the residual heat indicator goes out. Never leave the appliance unattended at high heat settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Page 10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the cover will ignite, explode or melt if the cooktop is still hot or if turned on inadvertently. Never cover the cooktop with a board, cloth or pro- tective sheet.
Page 11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum foil to get onto the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off the appliance immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or alu- minum residues while still hot, using a shielded scraper blade.
Page 12
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS If the cookware only partially covers a cooking zone, the handle could become very hot. Always place cookware in the middle of the cooking zone. Wet sponges or cloths can cause burns due to hot steam if they are used to wipe spilled food off a hot cooktop.
Page 13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Cleaning and maintenance Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop. The steam may reach electrical components and cause a short cir- cuit.
