IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not install the cooktop directly above a dishwasher, refrigerator or
freezer. Heat radiated by the cooktop may damage other appliances.
If the cooktop is installed above an oven, keep the cooktop’s power
cord from contacting the oven.
Because of the heat radiated it is not recommended to install the
cooktop above a drawer. It should only be installed above a cabinet base unit with a dummy drawer front and an additional protective base between the appliance and the cabinet.
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 an installation in these applications. Please contact the nearest Miele Dealer or the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.
Use
Do not use the appliance until it is properly installed in the countertop.
This appliance is equipped with an overheating protection. For more
information, see "Overheating protection".
Never use the appliance to warm or heat the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated objects left near the appliance could catch fire.
Protection from damage
Do not drop or rest anything on the surface of the cooktop. Although
the ceramic glass is shock and scratch resistant, it is not shock or scratch proof.
Do not use pots or pans with pronounced edges or ridges on
the ceramic cooktop. These could scratch the cooktop permanently. See also, "Selecting cookware" for more information. Grains of salt and sand can also scratch. Make sure that the bases of any pots and pans are clean, free of any fat or oils and dry.
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, pieces of plastic or aluminum foil to
fall on the cooking zones when they are hot. If these residues are allowed to cool on the ceramic surface pitting or even cracking could occur.
Any spills should be removed as quickly as possible to prevent them
from burning on and becoming difficult to remove.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. Steam could
penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Never place hot pots or pans over the touch controls, as the
electronics may be damaged.
