IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Technical safety
Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by a Miele authorized service technician in accordance with local building and safety codes. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Before installing the cooktop, check for externally visible damage. Do not operate a damaged appliance. A damaged gas cooktop is a hazard.
Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.
Before installation, make sure that the voltage and frequency listed on the rating label correspond with the household electrical supply. This data must correspond to prevent injury and appliance damage. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
Do not operate the appliance until it has been properly installed in the countertop.
Under no circumstance open the outer casing of the appliance. This is a safety hazard and may damage the appliance.
Before servicing, turn off the gas valve and disconnect the power supply by either removing the fuse, unplugging the unit or manually "tripping" the circuit breaker.
While the appliance is under warranty repairs should only be performed by a Miele authorized ser- vice technician. Otherwise the warranty is void.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original spare parts only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.
The appliance is not designed for use with an external timer or a remote control system.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance has been damaged in any manner. Contact Miele’s Technical Ser- vice Department.
Do not use an extension cord to connect this appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
In the event of damage or defect,
turn off the appliance immediately. Turn off the gas shut off valve and disconnect completely from the electrical supply. Contact the Miele Technical Service Department.
Do not use the appliance until it has been repaired.
Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance while repair work is carried out.
