Warning and safety instructions Technical safety Installation, maintenance and repair work should only be per‐ formed by a Miele authorized service technician.

Warning and safety instructions Proper use The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while af‐ ter being turned off. A burn hazard is present until the residual heat indicators go out. When in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat, which could cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire.

Warning 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.

Warning and safety instructions Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt high tempera‐ tures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum foil cookware. The cooktop trim or edge (in the case of bevelled cooktops) can become hot due to the following factors: operating time, high output settings, large cookware, and number of burners in use.

How the burners work Standard burners have one heating Standard burner band, and variable burners and casser‐ ole areas have two heating bands. De‐ pending on the model, the heating bands may be separated by a ring. Each burner features overheat protec‐ tion (internal temperature limiter), which prevents the ceramic surface from over‐...
Cookware The most suitable cookware is metal pots and pans with thick bottoms that, when cold, bulge slightly inward. On warming, the bottom expands and rests flat on the burner; this conducts the heat optimally. Cold Glass, ceramic or stoneware is less suitable.
Energy saving tips – Make sure that the bottoms of pots or pans either match the size of the burner or are somewhat larger. This ensures that heat from the burner is not wasted. – Whenever possible, keep pots and pans covered while cooking.

Safety instructions for installation Installation of the cooktop may only be performed by a qualified technician. The cooktop may only be connected to the oven by a qualified electrician. Install the upper cabinets and ventilation hood before installing the cooktop to avoid damaging the appliance.
Safety clearances Safety clearance above the cooktop For a ventilation hood positioned above the cooktop, always use the clearance specified by the hood manufacturer. If no specifications are available from the hood manufacturer, or if flammable ma‐ terials (e.g. wall shelf) are installed above the cooktop, the clearance must be at least 760 mm.
Page 29
Safety clearances Safety clearances to the sides and back of the cooktop Ideally, the cooktop should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear or a tall cabinet or wall on one side (right or left) (see illustrations).
Page 30
Safety clearances Safety distance from the wall covering If a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained be‐ tween the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures can dam‐ age these materials. If the covering is made of a flammable material (such as wood), the minimum dis‐ tance between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be 50 mm.
Bottom cover panel Measures must be taken to ensure that it is not possible to touch the underside of the installed cooktop. For this reason, a front cover panel and bottom cover panel must be installed if: – The cooktop is wider than the oven installed below it.
Instructions for installation Seal between the cooktop and Tiled countertop countertop The grouting and the shaded area under the cooktop frame must be smooth and flat so that the frame will sit Do not use sealant between the evenly on the countertop and so that cooktop and the countertop.
