  • Page 3 When using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions including the following: Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with national and local safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by an incorrect installation or connection.
  • Page 4 However, under certain circumstances it may be possible for an installation in these applications. Please contact the nearest Miele Dealer or the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements. Do not use the appliance until it is properly installed in the countertop.
  • Page 5 Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface of the cooktop. Although the ceramic glass is shock and scratch resistant, it is not shock or scratch proof. Do not use pots or pans with pronounced edges or ridges on the ceramic cooktop. These could scratch the cooktop permanently.
  • Page 6 Areas near it may become hot enough to cause burns. Do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch the cooktop or areas near it until they have cooled. Wait until the residual heat indicators go out.
  • Page 7 Do not store items on the appliance when not in use. Items could melt or catch fire from residual heat or if the cooktop is turned on inadvertently. Never cover the cooktop with a cloth. A fire could result.
  • Page 8 Fire hazard! Do not allow children to operate or play with or near the cooktop. If a pet hops onto the cooktop, a touch control sensor could be activated turning on a burner. Keep pets away from the cooktop at all times and activate the child safety lock.
  • Page 9 The cardboard box and packing materials are biodegradable and recyclable. Please recycle. Old appliances contain materials that can be recycled. Please contact your local recycling authority about the possibility of recycling these materials. Before discarding an old appliance, disconnect it from the gas and electrical supply and cut off the power cord to prevent it from becoming a hazard.

  • Page 13: Clean The Cooktop

    Before using for the first time, clean the cooktop with a damp cloth and then dry with a soft cloth. The metal components of the cooktop have a protective coating which may give off a slight odor the first time the appliance is heated.

  • Page 16: Overheating Protection

    Each burner is equipped with a temperature limiter. This limiter turns off the heating elements in the burner before the ceramic surface becomes too hot. Once the ceramic surface has cooled to a safe temperature, the heating elements will automatically turn back on.
  • Page 17 Your ceramic cooktop is made of an extremely hard and durable material. The surface is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Avoid using cookware with ridged bottoms. Ridged pots with dirty or chipped enamel bottoms may scratch the cooktop if they are pulled across the ceramic surface.
  • Page 18 – Copper bottom and aluminum pans may leave a residue on the cooktop in the form of metallic lines. This is normal. These lines can be removed using a non-abrasive ceramic cooktop cleaner or a sheilded scraper blade.
  • Page 19 Follow the ceramic cleaner manufacturer’s instructions. If you have difficulty locating a suitable product contact Miele’s Technical Service Department. Before cleaning allow the cooktop to cool. Wipe spills off using a damp sponge. Stubborn spills are best removed with a shielded scraper blade.
