Warning and Safety instructions
~
Do not flambé under a rangehood.
The flames could set the rangehood on
fire.
~
Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else.
Take particular care never to place
cutlery or other metal objects on the
appliance. When the appliance is
switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat
present, there is the risk of metal
objects heating up, with a danger of
burning.
Depending on the material, other
objects left on the cooktop could also
melt or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the
ceramic surface and be difficult to
dislodge.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
~
Do not cover the appliance, e.g.
with a cooktop cover, a cloth, kitchen
foil, etc. This could be a fire hazard if
the appliance is switched on by
mistake.
~
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high
temperatures and could catch fire.
~
Do not heat up unopened tins of
food on the cooktop as pressure will
build up in the tin, causing it to
explode. This could result in injury and
scalding or damage.
~
Do not use pots and pans on the
ceramic cooktop with bases with
pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast
iron pans. These could scratch or scour
the cooktop surface permanently.

~
Never heat an empty pan unless the
manufacturer of the pan expressly
states that you can do so. Because
induction heating works extremely
quickly, the base of the pan could heat
up to the temperature at which oil or fat
self-ignites within a very short time.
~
Keep the cooktop clean. Grains of
salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from
cleaning vegetables) can cause
scratches.
~
Never place hot pans on the area
around the controls. The electronic unit
underneath could get damaged.
~
Do not drop anything on the ceramic
surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.
~
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium
foil to get onto the cooking zones when
they are hot. If this should occur, switch
off the appliance, and carefully scrape
off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium
residues from the cooktop whilst they
are still hot, using a shielded scaper
blade.
Take care not to burn yourself.
Once the residues have been removed,
allow the appliance to cool down, and
then clean with the Original Miele
ceramic and stainless steel cooktop
cleaner.
~
When using an electrical appliance,
e.g. a hand-held mixer, near the
cooktop, ensure that the connection
cable doesn't come into contact with
the cooktop. The insulation on the cable
could become damaged, giving rise to
an electric shock hazard.
