Warning and Safety Instructions
Always cook pork thoroughly to en-
sure that, in the event of trichina,
all bacteria will be killed and the meat
is safe to eat.
For best results, utilize pots and
pans that are the same size as the
cooktop heating elements.
If high settings are used, be cau-
tious of splattering grease or
liquids boiling over which may produce
smoke.
Use only dry potholders.
Use only cookware suitable for
range-top service. Unsuitable
cookware may break due to sudden
temperature changes.
Always position the handle of the
cookware toward the center of the
cooktop to minimize burns, spillage
and ignition of flammable materials.
Before removing pots and pans,
be sure to turn surface units to OFF.
Always heat fat slowly, monitoring
it as it heats.
When frying foods, make sure that
the food is as dry as possible to
prevent moisture from causing hot fat
to bubble over.
When shallow or deep-frying, do
not overfill the pan with oil.
Wear proper apparel – Loose-fit-
ting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the ap-
pliance.
Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other
servicing should be refered to a quali-
fied technician.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother the fire or use a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Do not cook on a broken cooktop –
If the cooktop should break,
cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electrical shock.
Contact the Miele Service Department
or your local Service dealer.
Clean the cooktop using caution –
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleaners can produce toxic fumes if ap-
plied to a hot surface.
Under no circumstance use a
steam-cleaning appliance to clean
the cooktop.
The steam could penetrate to live com-
ponents and cause a short circuit.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND
REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY.
