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 purpose.
Be sure your appliance is properly
installed and grounded by a quali-
fied technician or electrician.
Before servicing, disconnect the
power supply by removing the fuse
or tripping the circuit breaker.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective ground-
ing system. It is imperative that this
basic safety requirement is met. If there
is any doubt, have the electrical system
of the house checked by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot
be held responsible for damage
caused by the lack or inadequacy of
an effective grounding system.
Do not connect the appliance to
the main electrical supply using
an extension cord. Extension cords do
not guarantee the required safety of
the appliance.
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 of
the unit.
Do not allow children to operate or
play with or near the unit.
Store all toys away from the unit to
prevent injury to curious or playful
children.
Please remember that, in use, the
burners will become hot. 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 unit unattended
when cooking with oil or fat. Very
hot oil can cause a fire.
Allow sufficient time for the burners
to cool before touching or expos-
ing surface areas to flammable ma-
terials.
If cracks or crevices appear in the
burners, immediately turn off the
cooktop and contact the Miele Service
Department or your local service dealer.
Avoid spilling liquids or food con-
taining salt on a stainless steel
cooktop. Should this happen, wipe up
any spills immediately. Otherwise disco-
loration of the steel could occur.
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.
