Technical safety
~
Before installation, check the hob for
visible signs of damage. Do not install
and use a damaged appliance. It could
be dangerous.
~
The electrical safety of the hob 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 household wiring system
should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~
Before connecting the hob to the
mains electricity supply, make sure that
the data quoted on the data plate
match the household mains supply,
otherwise the appliance could be
damaged. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.
~
For safety reasons, the hob may
only be used after it has been built in.
~
Do not open the casing of the hob.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.
Warning and Safety instructions
~
The connection to the gas supply
should only be undertaken by an
registered gas installer under the gas
safety regulations (Registration of Gas
Installers and Gas Contractors). If the
appliance is supplied without a plug, or
if the plug is removed, it must be
connected to the mains electricity
supply by a suitably qualified and
competent electrician in strict
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage caused by incorrect
installation or connection.
~
Installation, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
national and local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
~
During installation, maintenance and
repair work, the hob must be
disconnected from the gas supply and
mains electricity supply.
~
While the hob is under guarantee,
repairs should only be undertaken by a
service technician authorised by Miele.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
