Warning and Safety instructions
~
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension
lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
~
Do not use the hob if it is faulty, or if
the ceramic surface is cracked,
chipped or damaged in any way.
Switch it off immediately, and
disconnect it from the mains electricity
supply. Danger of electric shock.
~
In areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all
times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.

Correct use
~
The appliance gets hot when in use
and remains hot for quite a while after
being switched off. There is a danger of
burning until the residual heat
indicators go out.
~
Do not leave the appliance
unattended whilst it is in use.
Pans that have boiled dry can cause
damage to the ceramic surface for
which Miele cannot be held liable.
Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause
a fire.
~
If oil or fat does catch fire, do not
attempt to put out the flames with water.
Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan
lid, damp towel or similar to smother the
flames.
~
Do not use the appliance to heat up
the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire. The life of the
appliance could also be reduced.
~
The control panel and the hob frame
or hob edges (on hobs with bevelled
edges) can become hot due to the
influence of the following factors:
operating duration, high power level(s),
large pans and the number of cooking
zones being used.
~
Use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance. Do
not let them get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the
material more quickly with the risk of
scalding or burning yourself.
