  • Page 4: Warnings And Safety Instructions

    This prevents both personal injury and damage to the cooktop. Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in “Installation”, as well as in the “Warning and Safety instructions”.
  • Page 5 Warnings and safety instructions Appropriate use  This cooktop is intended for domestic use and use in other similar environments.  This cooktop is not intended for outdoor use.  The cooktop is intended to prepare food and keep it warm in domestic use only.
  • Page 6 Warnings and safety instructions Safety with children  Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the cooktop unless they are constantly supervised.  Children over 8 years of age may only use the cooktop unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way. Children must be able to understand and recognize the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation.
  • Page 7 Warnings and safety instructions Technical safety  Installation, maintenance and repair work should only be performed by a Miele authorized service technician. Installation, maintenance and repair work by unqualified persons can cause considerable danger to users.  Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the cooktop for visible signs of damage.
  • Page 8 Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized service technician will void the warranty.  Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance if genuine Miele spare parts are used. Defective components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts.
  • Page 9 Danger of electric shock. Do not use the cooktop if it is faulty, or if the ceramic surface is cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way. Switch it off immediately. Disconnect the cooktop from the 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 10 Warnings and safety instructions Correct use  The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after being turned off. A burn hazard is present until the residual heat indicators go out.  Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the cooktop unattended when cooking with oil and fat.
  • Page 11 Warnings and safety instructions  You can burn yourself on a hot cooktop. When cooking on the cooktop, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders or oven mitts. Only use dry pot holders and oven mitts. Wet or damp textiles conduct heat more effectively and produce steam, which poses a burn hazard.
  • Page 12 Warnings and safety instructions  Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can cause scuff marks and scratches.  Because induction heating works so quickly, the base of the cookware could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self- ignites within a very short time.
  • Page 13 Warnings and safety instructions  If the cookware only partially covers a cooking zone or casserole cooking zone, the handle could become very hot. Always place cookware in the middle of a cooking zone or casserole cooking zone.  If an induction adapter plate is used for cookware, the induction generators may be damaged or even destroyed.
  • Page 14 (see relevant section).  Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your cooktop.
