Warning and Safety Instructions
Warning:
When using your cooktop, follow
basic safety precautions including
the following:
Read all instructions before using
the cooktop.
Use the cooktop only for its in-
tended use.
Be sure your appliance is properly
installed and grounded by a quali-
fied technician.
Before servicing, disconnect the
power supply by removing the fuse
or turning off the circuit breaker.
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective
grounding system.
It is imperative that this basic safety re-
quirement be met. If there is any doubt,
the electrical system of the house
should be checked by a qualified elec-
trician. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for damage caused
by the lack or inadequacy of an effec-
tive grounding system.
Never use the cooktop to warm or
heat the room.
When using an electrical outlet
near the cooktop, make sure that
the cable of the appliance does not
come into contact with the burners.
"CAUTION": Do not store items of
interest to children behind or in
cabinets above the cooktop.– Children
climbing on the cooktop to reach items
could be seriously injured.
Do not allow children to operate or
play with or near the cooktop.
Store all play items away from the
cooktop to prevent injury to
curious or playful children.
Please remember that burners
become hot; therefore, ensure that
children do not touch them.
Do not store items on the cooktop
when not in use.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate
on the cooktop.
Never leave the cooktop unat-
tended when cooking with oil or
fat. Very hot oil can cause a fire.
Allow sufficient time for the cook-
top to cool before touching or ex-
posing surface areas to flammable ma-
terials.
If cracks or crevices appear in the
cooktop, immediately turn off the
cooktop and contact the Miele Service
Department or your local service dealer.
If sugar (either solid or liquid) or
plastic melt onto the ceramic
surface, it is essential to follow the
cleaning instructions on Page 14.
