  • Page 5 This cooktop is not suitable for outdoor use.  It is intended only to cook food and keep it warm. Any other use is not supported by Miele and could be dangerous.  This cooktop is not intended for use by people (including children)
  • Page 6 Warning and Safety instructions Safety with children  Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.  Older children may use the appliance without supervision if its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely.
  • Page 7  Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.  Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is damaged.
  • Page 8 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.  Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts.

  • Page 10 Warning and Safety instructions Correct use  The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat indicators go out.  Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking with oil and fat.
  • Page 11 Warning and Safety instructions  You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. 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.
  • Page 12 Warning and Safety instructions  Because induction heating works so quickly, the base of the pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time. Do not leave the cooktop unattended during cooking! ...
  • Page 13 Warning and Safety instructions Cleaning and care  Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.  If the cooktop is built in over a pyrolytic oven, the cooktop should not be used whilst the pyrolytic process is being carried out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the cooktop (see relevant section).
