Warning and Safety instructions

When the hob is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of any metal
items left on the hob heating up, with the danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other items left on the appliance could
also melt or catch fire. Do not use the hob as a resting place.

You could burn yourself on the hot hob. Protect your hands with
heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself on steam. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the
gas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, tea towels or other similar
materials.

When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food blender,
near the hob, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot
come into contact with the hot hob. The insulation on the cable
could become damaged.

Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the hob.

If a cooker hood is installed above the hob, ensure that the
burners are always covered with a pan when in use. Otherwise
flames could reach the cooker hood, parts of which could then be
damaged or even set on fire.

Only light the gas burners after all burner parts have been properly
assembled.

Pans must be the correct size for the burner they are used on (see
"Suitable Pans"). A pan which is too small will be unstable on the
pan support. If the pan diameter is too large, flames can spread out
to the sides and damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings or
surrounding units and also parts of the hob. Miele cannot be held
liable for this type of damage.

Ensure that the flames from the burner do not spread out beyond
the base and up the sides of the pan.
