~
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.
