Warning and Safety instructions
~
Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the hob when
Miele replacement parts are used.
~
If the connection cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by a suitably
qualified electrician with a specialist
connection cable of type H 05 V V-F
(pvc insulated), available from Miele.
~
Do not connect the hob to the mains
electricity supply by a multi-socket
adapter or an extension lead. These do
not guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
~
Do not use the hob if it is faulty, or if
the ceramic surface is cracked,
chipped or damaged in any way.
Switch it off immediately, and
disconnect it from the mains electricity
supply. Danger of electric shock.
~
In areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the hob and its surroundings in
a clean condition at all times. Any
damage caused by cockroaches or
other vermin will not be covered by the
guarantee.

Correct use
~
The hob gets hot when in use and
remains hot for quite a while after being
switched off. There is a danger of
burning until the residual heat
indicators go out.
~
Do not leave the hob unattended
whilst it is in use.
Pans that have boiled dry can cause
damage to the ceramic surface for
which Miele cannot be held liable.
Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause
a fire.
~
If oil or fat does catch fire, do not
attempt to put out the flames with water.
Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan
lid, damp towel or similar to smother the
flames.
~
Do not use the hob to heat up the
room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire. The life of the
appliance could also be reduced.
~
The control panel and the hob frame
or hob edges (on hobs with bevelled
edges) can become hot due to the
influence of the following factors:
operating duration, high power level(s),
large pans and the number of cooking
zones being used.
~
Use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the hob. Do not let
them get damp or wet, as this causes
heat to transfer through the material
more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.
