Use the cooktop only for its in-tended purpose.

Be sure your appliance is properlyinstalled and grounded by a quali-

fied technician or electrician.

Before servicing, disconnect thepower 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 betweenthe appliance and an effective ground-ing system. It is imperative that thisbasic safety requirement is met. If thereis any doubt, have the electrical systemof the house checked by a qualifiedelectrician. The manufacturer cannotbe held responsible for damagecaused by the lack or inadequacy ofan effective grounding system.

Do not connect the appliance tothe main electrical supply using

an extension cord. Extension cords donot guarantee the required safety ofthe appliance.

Never use the cooktop to warm orheat the room.

When using an electrical outletnear the cooktop, make sure that

the cable of the appliance does notcome into contact with the burners ofthe unit.

Do not allow children to operate orplay with or near the unit.

Store all toys away from the unit toprevent injury to curious or playful

children.

Please remember that, in use, theburners will become hot. Ensure

that children do not touch them.

Do not store items on the cooktopwhen not in use.

Do not let cooking grease or otherflammable materials accumulate

on the cooktop.

Never leave the unit unattendedwhen cooking with oil or fat. Very

hot oil can cause a fire.

Allow sufficient time for the burnersto cool before touching or expos-

ing surface areas to flammable ma-terials.

If cracks or crevices appear in theburners, immediately turn off the

cooktop and contact the Miele ServiceDepartment or your local service dealer.

Avoid spilling liquids or food con-taining salt on a stainless steel

cooktop. Should this happen, wipe upany 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 meatis safe to eat.

Warning and Safety Instructions

Warning and Safety InstructionsUse pots and pans that are thesame size as the cooktop heating

elements.

When high settings are used, re-main near the cooktop in case

splattering grease or liquid boil overscause smoke.

Only use dry potholders.

Only use cookware suitable forrange-top service. Unsuitable

cookware may break due to suddentemperature changes.

Always position the handle of thecookware toward the center of the

range to minimize burns, and spillage.

Before removing pots and pans,be sure to turn the cooktop ”OFF“.

Always heat oil slowly, so it doesn’tbubble over.

When frying foods, make sure thatthe food is as dry as possible to

prevent moisture from causing hot oil tobubble over.

When shallow or deep frying, donot overfill the pan with oil.

Wear proper apparel. Loose fittingor hanging garments should never

be worn while using the appliance.

Do not attempt to repair or replaceany part of the appliance unless

specifically recommended in this ma-nual. All other servicing should be re-fered to a qualified technician.

Do not use water on grease fires.Smother any fire or flame or use a

dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Do not store items of interest tochildren in cabinets above or be-

hind the cooktop – children climbing onthe cooktop to reach items could beseriously injured.

Do not use a steam-cleaner toclean the cooktop.

The steam could penetrate electricalcomponents and cause a short circuit.

Save these instructions and reviewthem periodically.

Cooktop controlsBy using the individual burner controlknobs, temperatures can be freely se-lected.

The controls can be turned either clock-wise or counter clockwise.

The indicator lamp for each burnerlights as soon as the respective controlknob is turned to a setting. It will go out when the contol knob isturned to the ”0“ position.

A resistance can be felt between set-tings 7 and 8 to indicate that the hightemperature range is being entered.

Correct procedure:

Place the pot of food on the burner.

Select a high setting for boiling orsearing meat.

Once steam appears on the edge ofthe lid, turn to a lower setting for con-tinued cooking.

Reducing the temperature at the cor-rect time . . .. . . prevents food from overcooking.. . . prevents food from burning.. . . saves energy.

Burner descriptionSafety thermostat

All burners are equipped with safetythermostats that prevent them fromoverheating.

The thermostats may trip

. . . if unsuitable cooking pots are used.For example, pots with uneven basesor which are too small.

. . . when burners are used without apot or pan.

Burner description

Burner operationPlace a pan on the burner beforeturning on the appliance. This willprotect the burner and save energy.

The surface of the burner and the baseof the pan should be clean and dry.

Turning on the burners

Turn the control knob to the maximumsetting for 1-2 minutes to allow the bur-ners to rapidly heat up. Once hot, turnthe control knob to the desired cookingsetting, using the table on the previouspage as a guide.

After cooking

The burners will remain hot for sometime after being turned off.

By turning the burners off early, the re-sidual heat of the burner can be usedto continue cooking the food or keep-ing it warm.

Do not place any wet objects on theburners. If the burners get wet,wipe off the moisture and turn themon briefly so they dry.This will prevent rust from forming.

The following tips are designed to en-able you to

. . . make the best use of energy whenusing your cooktop.

. . . prevent food from boiling over andburning onto the cooktop.

Saucepan bases

For optimum energy consumption dur-ing cooking, only pots with flat orslightly concave bases should beused. When the pot is hot, the baseshould rest evenly on the burner.

When purchasing new pots and pans,ensure that they are suitable for use onthis type of cooktop.

Pot size

The diameter of the pot should beslightly larger than the burner.

Burner diameter
