IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION

Note to the installer:
Please leave this instruction book
with the consumer for the local
electrical inspector's use.
The minimum distances given in
these Installation Instructions must
be observed in order to ensure safe
operation. Failure to do so increases
the risk of fire.
The cabinetry and venting hood
should be installed first to prevent
damage to the appliance.
~
The countertop must be bonded
with heat resistant (212 °F/100 °C)
adhesive to prevent distortion or
dissolving.
Any back splashes must be
heat-resistant as well.
~
The appliance has not been
designed for maritime use or for use in
mobile installations such as recreational
vehicles or aircraft. However, under
certain conditions it may be possible for
installation in these applications. Please
contact the Miele Technical Service
Department with specific requirements.
~
The appliance must not be installed
over a dishwasher, washer, dryer,
refrigerator or freezer. Heat radiated by
the appliance may damage them.
~
The appliance must not be installed
above an oven not equipped with a
cooling fan.

~
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire
by reaching over heated surfaces,
cabinet storage space above the
appliance should be avoided. If cabinet
storage is necessary, the risk can be
reduced by installing a venting hood to
project horizontally a minimum of 5"
(127 mm) beyond the front of the
cabinets.
~
Make sure that the power cord to
the cooktop does not come into contact
with the underside of it or any
mechanical parts once the cooktop has
been installed.
~
The appliance must not be
permanently sealed into the countertop
when installed. The sealing strip under
the edge of the appliance provides a
sufficient seal for the countertop. See
"Sealing".
Keep this instruction book in a safe
place for reference and pass it on to
any future user.
