IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP WARNING This appliance is intended for residential cooking only. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage or injury caused by improper use or for uses other than those for which the appliance is intended.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Injury prevention Do not touch the cooktop or the area surrounding it during or immediately after use. The cooktop may be hot even though it is dark in color. Areas near it may become hot enough to cause burns. During or after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch the cooktop or surface areas near it until they have cooled. Wait for the residual heat indicator lights go out.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Use proper pan size Select pans having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized pans will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship to burner will also improve efficiency.

Selecting cookware The cooking surface Pots and pans Your ceramic cooktop is made of an extremely hard and durable material that should give you many years of use under normal conditions. The surface is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Avoid using cookware with ridged bottoms. Ridged pots with dirty or chipped enamel bottoms may scratch the cooktop if they are pulled across the ceramic surface.
Selecting cookware – Sometimes what appear to be scratches are not. Metallic lines such as those left by copper or aluminum pans can be removed using a non-abrasive ceramic cooktop cleaner. Let the cooktop cool before cleaning. – Using a lid while cooking will minimize the loss of heat and decrease the cooking time. 18 – Cast iron, glass or stoneware should not be used because they have poor heat transfer and may scratch the surface.
Cleaning and care Use a product suitable for cleaning ceramic cooking surfaces. If you have difficulty locating a suitable product, contact Miele’s Technical Service Department. Do not use glass cleaners on the cooktop. They leave a residue that can fuse onto and stain the cooktop when cooking at high temperatures. Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or caustic (oven) cleaners. They will damage the cooktop surface.
Cleaning and care Removing melted sugar, syrup, plastic or aluminum foil These items should be removed as soon as possible while the cooktop is still warm. Scrape the melted item off the cooktop using a razor blade scraper. Once the cooktop has cooled, remove any remaining residue using a ceramic cooktop cleaner. Using cooktop cleaners Some cleaners incorporate a silicon agent that will leave a protective coating on the cooktop. Although not required, they can also be used.
