  • Page 3: Important Safety Instructions

    SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS for a future user. Correct usage Only use the cooktop for residential cooking, and for the purposes described in this manual. Other uses are not permitted and can be dangerous.
  • Page 4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Technical safety Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by a Miele authorized service technician. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
  • Page 5 COOKING AREA - During operation, the cooking area and its surroundings will get hot and can cause burns. When the cooktop is shut off, the surface may remain hot enough to cause harm, even though the glow is not visible through the dark glass.
  • Page 6 To prevent damage to the cooktop do not use pots and pans with thin bases on the cooktop. Never heat an empty pan unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so.
  • Page 7 NEVER set down hot pots or pans in the "Residual Heat" indicator area. This can damage the underlying electronics. If the cooktop built in behind a cabinet door, it should only be operated with the door open. Close the door only when the appliance is shut off and the Residual Heat indicators have gone out.

  • Page 12: How The Burners Operate

    How the burners operate One-zone burners use one heating strip; two-zone burners and grill zones have two heating strips. Depending on the model, the heating strips may be separated by a ring. Each burner has overheating protection (internal temperature limiter) feature to prevent the ceramic glass from overheating (see "Overheat protection").
  • Page 13: Operation
