IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Technical safety

Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and re-
pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.

Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so.
Service work should only be performed by a qualified technician.

Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the
cooktop for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is
damaged.

Reliable and safe operation of the cooktop can only be guaran-
teed if it is connected to the public power supply.

Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appli-
ance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective
grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement
be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house
checked by a qualified electrician.

Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been in-
stalled correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified techni-
cian.

To avoid damaging the cooktop, make sure that the connection
data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the
building's power supply before connecting the appliance.
When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a power
bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance.

For safety reasons, the cooktop may only be used when it has
been fully installed.
