IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This equipment has not been designed for maritime use or for
use in mobile installations such as aircraft or recreational vehicles. However, under certain circumstances it may be possible for installation in these applications. Please contact the nearest Miele Dealer or the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.
Because of the heat radiated downwards from this type of appliance we do not recommend
installing it over a drawer. It should be installed in a cabinet base unit with a dummy drawer front and an additional protective barrier beneath the unit.
If, in spite of this, there is a drawer directly underneath the cooktop, do not store aerosols, combustible liquids or easily flammable materials in it. If cutlery inserts are placed in the drawer, they must be heat resistant.
The cooktop must not be installed over a dishwasher, washer, dryer,
refrigerator or freezer. The high temperatures radiating downwards from this type of cooktop could damage these appliances.
Make sure that the power cord to the cooktop does not come in
contact with any mechanical parts once the cooktop has been installed.
Safety distance above the appliance
As a general rule there must be a safety distance of at least 30" (760 mm), b, between the appliance and any flammable objects above it, e.g. cabinetry, venting hood or utensil rail. The minimum distance of combustible surfaces located above and to the side of the cooktop, c, is 18" (457 mm).
If the manufacturer of these items states a different figure, follow that manufacturer’s recommendation.
If more than one appliance is installed beneath a venting hood, e.g. an electric cooktop and a gas wok cooktop, and they have different minimum safety distances to the hood, select the larger safety distance of the two.
