Important safety instructions
Repair of the cooktop during the warranty period should be performed only by a service who is authorized by the manufacturer; otherwise, should damage result, it will not be covered by the warranty.
Defective components should be replaced by genuine Miele replacement parts only. Only these parts are guaranteed by the manufacturer to comply with safety requirements.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a special power cord, which is available from the manufacturer or from Customer Ser- vice.
Do not connect the appliance to the power supply by an extension cord or power strip, as they do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (danger of overheating, for example).
If you discover that the cooktop is defective or its ceramic glass is chipped, cracked or broken in any way, do not use it or immediately switch it off and do not continue to operate it. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. If you fail to follow these steps, there is the danger of electric shock!
Proper use
For users who wear a pacemaker:
It is important to note that the appliance is surrounded by an electromagnetic field. It is unlikely that the pacemaker will be affected.
However, it is wise to consult with your cardiologist or the manufacturer of the pacemaker if there is any doubt.
Magnetized objects, such as credit cards, diskettes, and calculators should be kept away from the appliance when it is on. Otherwise, they may be affected.
The cooktop is hot during use and remains so for some time after being switched off. The risk of burns remains until the residual heat indicators have switched off.
Never leave the cooktop unsupervised while in operation! Cookware that boils dry and overheats can cause damage to the glass ceramic, and the manufacturer will not be held liable for such damage. Overheated fat or oil can ignite and start a fire.
If hot fat or oil catches fire, NEVER use water to douse the flames. Use a lid, or wet dishtowel, for example, to put out the fire.
