Note to the installer:
Please leave this instruction book
with the consumer for the local
electrical inspector’s use.
The minimum distances given in
these Installation Instructions must
be observed in order to ensure safe
operation. Failure to do so increases
the risk of fire.
The cabinetry and venting hood
should be installed first to prevent
damage to the cooktop.
~
The countertop must be bonded
with heat resistant (212°F/100°C)
adhesive to prevent distortion or
dissolving.
Any back splashes should also be
heat-resistant.
~
The cooktop must not be installed
over a dishwasher, washer, dryer,
refrigerator or freezer. Heat radiated by
the cooktop may damage them.
~
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire
by reaching over heated surfaces
cabinet storage space above the
appliance should be avoided. If cabinet
storage is necessary, the risk can be
reduced by installing a venting hood to
project horizontally a minimum of 5"
(127 mm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.
~
This appliance has not been
designed for maritime (e.g. ships) use
or for use in mobile installations such as
recreational vehicles or aircraft.
However, under certain conditions it
may be possible for installation in these
applications. Please contact the Miele
Technical Service Department with
specific requirements.
~
You must ensure the power cable
for the appliance will not come into
contact with the floor panel after
installation, nor be subject to any
mechanical strain.
~
The cooktop must not be
permanently sealed into the countertop
when installed. The sealing strip under
the edge of the cooktop provides a
sufficient seal for the countertop. See
"Sealing".
~
The safety distances specified in
these instructions must be followed
carefully.
Keep this instruction book in a safe
place for reference and pass it on to
any future user.
