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.
