This appliance complies with all relevant local and national safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before installation and before using it for the first time.
Safety with children ~ Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. ~ Older children may use the appliance only when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
Technical safety ~ Before installation, check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance is dangerous.
~ If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a suitably qualified electrician with a specialist connection cable of type H 05 VV-F (pvc insulated), available from the Miele Spare Parts Department. ~ Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
~ For added protection, it is advisable to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.
~ Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot. If this should occur, switch off the appliance, and carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the cooktop whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scaper blade.
Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children.

Switching on an extended area Depending on model, the outer circle of a double circle zone or the extended cooking zone can be switched on to provide an extended cooking area when cooking with larger pans. Proceed as follows: ^ Turn the cooking zone control clockwise past "12" as far as it will go.
Pans – Pans made from any material can be used on a ceramic cooktop. However, Miele recommends to refrain from using cookware with an exposed copper or aluminium base as they may leave permanent visual marks on the ceramic surface. – The best pans are those with a thick base which is very slightly concave when cold.
Tips on saving energy – Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss. Uncovered Covered – Select a smaller pan when cooking small quantities. A small pan on a small cooking zone uses less energy than a large, partially filled pan on a large cooking zone.
Overheating protection Each cooking zone is equipped with overheating protection. An internal temperature limiter switches off the heating elements in the cooking zone before the ceramic surface overheats. Once the ceramic has cooled down to a safe level the heating will automatically switch back on again.
For Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products see "Optional accessories". Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Only use proprietary cleaning products which are suitable for cleaning ceramic cooktops.
Spots caused by limescale deposits, water and aluminium residues (which have a metalic appearance) can be removed using the ceramic cooktop cleaner. Should any sugar, plastic or aluminium foil spill or fall on to a hot cooking zone, first switch off the appliance.
Repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
