[. . . ] Please contact the nearest Miele Dealer or the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements. Use Do not use the appliance until it is properly installed in the countertop. Due to the high temperatures radiated objects left near the appliance could catch fire. 4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Protection from damage Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface of the cooktop. Although the ceramic glass is shock and scratch resistant, it is not shock or scratch proof. Do not use pots or pans with pronounced edges or ridges on the ceramic cooktop. [. . . ] Danger of burns 6 Pot and pan handles should be turned inward and not extend over the countertop to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spills. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the heating element. Using undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing or handles becoming hot. Before using glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed cookware on the cooktop, verify that they can be used on a cooking surface. Build-up pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury. At higher settings, be cautious of splattering grease or boiling over liquids, which may produce smoke. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Before removing pots and pans, be sure to turn off the burners. Items could melt or catch fire from residual heat or if the cooktop is turned on inadvertently. Smother any fire or flame, or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. When frying food, make sure that the food is as dry as possible before placing it in the oil. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction or the grease filters may ignite. Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on the appliance. Certain items, particularly sugar grains or crystallized liquids such as molasses or syrups are actually harder than ceramic and can scratch the surface if they are not cleaned off immediately. Small or light scratches will not affect the safety or performance of the cooktop however. The burner rings are fused into the ceramic glass and are resistant to wear if properly maintained. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads, as they may eventually wear off the rings. Pots and pans Special cookware is not required, but as is true with all types of cooking appliances, the better the cookware, the better the performance. Following these tips will allow you to make the most of your ceramic cooktop. ­ For the most even and energy efficient cooking, the diameter of the pots should match the diameter of the burners as closely as possible. ­ Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth bottoms. Pans with convex bottoms will not cook well. 17 Selecting cookware ­ Using a lid while cooking will minimize the loss of heat and decrease the cooking time. ­ Copper bottom and aluminum pans may leave a residue on the cooktop in the form of metallic lines. These lines can be removed using a non-abrasive ceramic cooktop cleaner or a sheilded scraper blade. Each time the residue is allowed to melt it becomes harder to remove and may mar the appearance of the cooktop. ­ Cast iron, glass or stoneware should not be used because they have poor heat transfer and may scratch the surface. 18 Cooktop care When cleaning the cooktop, make sure the cooktop is "Off", and be careful not to accidentally turn it "On". [. . . ] Cleaner residues could damage the cooktop or create toxic fumes when heated. sugar, plastic, syrup, aluminium foil, etc. ) should be removed as quickly as possible and while the burner is still warm.
