Warning and Safety instructions
~
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~
Do not use the gas cooktop if it is
faulty. Switch it off immediately,
disconnect it from the gas supply and
mains electricity, and call Miele.
~
In areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all
times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the warranty.

Correct use
~
The appliance gets hot when in use
and remains hot for quite a while after
being switched off. Do not touch it
whilst it could still be hot.
~
When using a rangehood above the
cooktop, ensure that the burner is
always covered with a pan when in use.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the rangehood, parts of
which could then be damaged or even
set on fire.
~
Do not leave the cooktop
unattended whilst it is being used.
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 cooktop 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.
~
Do not flambé under a rangehood.
The flames could set the rangehood on
fire.
