  • Page 9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build up behind the closed door and cause damage to the cooktop, cabi- netry, and flooring.
  • Page 10 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Correct use  DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns.

  • Page 11 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances in a drawer under the appliance. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resis- tant.  Never heat empty cookware. ...
  • Page 12 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  Hot objects on the residual-heat indicators can damage the elec- tronics underneath. Do not place hot pots or pans in this area.  Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum foil to get onto the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down.
  • Page 13 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  If residue remains on the cooktop for any length of time, it can cook into the cooktop and sometimes it is then not possible to re- move it. Remove spills and splatters promptly. Also make sure that the bottom of any cookware is clean, dry, and free of grease before placing it on the cooktop.
  • Page 14 Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop. The steam may reach electrical components and cause a short cir- cuit.  Miele will guarantee to supply functional parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your cooktop.
