Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
 Do not lift or carry the Range Cooker by the oven door handle or
control panel.
 Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check
the hob for visible signs of damage.
 Reliable and safe operation of this hob can only be assured if it
has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 The electrical safety of the Range Cooker can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and tested regularly. If in doubt, consult a
suitably qualified electrician.
 Before connecting the Range Cooker to the mains supply, ensure
that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)
match the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in
order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance.
Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
 Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not use these to
connect the Range Cooker to the mains electricity supply.
 For safety reasons, this hob may only be used after it has been
built in.
 This Range Cooker must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).

                                                                      9
Warning and Safety instructions

 Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the Range Cooker will endanger your
safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Do not open the Range Cooker housing under any circumstances.
 While the hob is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
 The connection to the gas supply must be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with current
local and national safety regulations (GasSafe in the UK).

If the plug is removed from the connection cable or if the cable is
supplied without a plug, the Range Cooker must be connected to
the electrical supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, e.g. if the oven
lighting is faulty (see "Problem solving guide"), the Range Cooker
must be completely disconnected from the household electricity
supply.). The gas inlet valve must be closed To ensure this:
– disconnect the mains fuse, or
– completely unscrew the screw-out fuse (in countries where this is
  applicable), or
– switch off at the isolator switch, or switch off at the wall socket
  and withdraw the plug. Do not pull on the cable, but pull the plug
  instead in order to do this.
– Close the gas inlet valve.

10
Warning and Safety instructions

 Danger of electric shock!
Do not use the hob if it is faulty. Switch it off immediately,
disconnect it from the mains electricity supply and the gas supply
and contact Miele.
 If the Range Cooker is to be built in behind a furniture front (e.g. a
door) do not close the door while the Range Cooker is in use. Heat
and moisture can build up behind the closed door. This can result in
damage to the Range Cooker, surrounding cupboards and the floor.
Leave the furniture front/door open until the Range Cooker has
cooled down completely.

Correct use
 The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for some
time after being switched off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a
possibility that it could still be hot.
 Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the hob
when it is in use could catch fire.
Do not use the hob to heat up the room.
 Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the hob
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not
attempt to put the flames out with water.
Disconnect the hob from the mains and use a suitable fire blanket,
saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
 Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do
not flambé under a cooker hood.
 Do not heat an empty pan.
 Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the hob, as pressure can build up in the container, causing it to
explode.
 Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective
foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the hob is
switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
                                                                       11
Warning and Safety instructions

 When the hob is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of any metal
items left on the hob heating up, with the danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other items left on the appliance could
also melt or catch fire. Do not use the hob as a resting place.
 You could burn yourself on the hot hob. Protect your hands with
heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself on steam. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the
gas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, tea towels or other similar
materials.
 When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food blender,
near the hob, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot
come into contact with the hot hob. The insulation on the cable
could become damaged.
 Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the hob.
 If a cooker hood is installed above the hob, ensure that the
burners are always covered with a pan when in use. Otherwise
flames could reach the cooker hood, parts of which could then be
damaged or even set on fire.
 Only light the gas burners after all burner parts have been properly
assembled.
 Pans must be the correct size for the burner they are used on (see
"Suitable Pans"). A pan which is too small will be unstable on the
pan support. If the pan diameter is too large, flames can spread out
to the sides and damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings or
surrounding units and also parts of the hob. Miele cannot be held
liable for this type of damage.
 Ensure that the flames from the burner do not spread out beyond
the base and up the sides of the pan.
12
Warning and Safety instructions

 Do not use pans with very thin bases on this hob, and never heat
up empty pans as they could get damaged. This could also damage
the appliance.
 Always use the pot rests supplied. Do not place cookware directly
on the burners.
 Place the pot rests down horizontally to avoid scratching.
 Do not use or store flammable materials near this hob.
 Remove splashes of fat and other food debris from the surface of
the hob as soon as possible. These are a fire hazard.
 Using the hob will cause a build-up of heat and moisture in the
room in which it is installed. Ensure that the room has sufficient
natural or mechanical means of ventilation, e.g. a cooker hood.
 If the hob is used for very long periods of time, additional
ventilation of the room may be necessary, e.g. by opening windows
or doors, or running the cooker hood on the highest setting.
 Do not use roasting dishes, pans or grilling stones that are large
enough to cover more than one burner. The resulting build-up of
heat could damage the hob.
 If the hob has not been used for a long period of time it should be
thoroughly cleaned before it is used again. It is also advisable to
have the appliance tested by a qualified person for safety.
Stainless steel appliances
 Adhesives will damage the stainless steel surface and cause it to
lose its dirt-repellent protective coating. Do not use sticky notes,
transparent adhesive tape, masking tape or other types of adhesive
on the stainless steel surface.
 The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause
scratching.

                                                                       13
Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this hob.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
 In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

Wok ring
Use the wok ring (if present) for
additional stability for cookware,
especially for wok pans with rounded
bases.
The wok pan is a special piece of
cookware. It has a small base diameter
and a large upper rim diameter (usually
35–40 cm).
The extra large cooking hob (front left)
is the most suitable for use with the
wok ring.
Take care to position the ring correctly.
The notches on the bottom edge of the
wok ring must sit on the pot rest (see
diagram).

Tips on saving energy
– Use a pan lid whenever possible to
  minimize heat loss.

– Wide, shallow pans are preferable to
  tall, narrow ones. They will heat up
  faster.
– Cook with as little water as possible.
– Reduce the size of the flame once the
  water has come to the boil or the oil
  is hot enough to fry in.
– Use a pressure cooker to reduce
  cooking times.

                                                              33
