SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND

REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY

Always make sure food is suffi-

ciently cooked or reheated. Many

factors affect the overall cooking time,

including the size and amount of food,

its temperature, and the recipe. Some

foods may contain microorganisms that

are only destroyed by thorough cook-

ing. If in doubt, select a longer cooking

or reheating time.

Throughout the manual, important

safety items will be highlighted in

boxes and should be read in con-

junction with these “Warning and

Safety instructions.”

Always cook pork thoroughly to en-

sure that the meat is safe to eat.

coating which may give off a slight

smell the first time your new appliance

is heated.

Cleaning and heating for the

first time

Before using for the first time clean the

appliance with a damp cloth and then

dry with a soft cloth.

The smell and any vapors will dissipate

after a short time and do not indicate a

faulty connection or appliance defect.

These settings are given as a guide only. The cooking time will depend upon the

amount and type of food, its texture and thickness.

Before using for the first time

When possible, select thin cuts of

meat that can be grilled quickly.

When cooking thicker cuts, first sear

them at a high setting, then turn the

grill down so they can finish cooking

slowly.

Grilling tips

Do not use any pots or pans when

using the grilll as these can cause

the appliance to overheat and may

permanently damage the ceramic

surface.

Wash fruits and cut them into pieces

before cooking. Sprinkling them with

lemon juice will help prevent the

pieces from turning brown.

Wipe the cold grill clean with a

damp cloth before each use.

Vegetables can be cut into slices,

rings, cubes or sticks. The smaller

the pieces, the quicker they will

cook. Whole vegetables can be par-

boiled to reduce the cooking time

and to help minimize starch deposits

on the grill surface.

Select the desired setting and pre-

heat the grill for 4 - 6 minutes.

For the best flavor when grilling

meat, make sure the setting is high

enough to sear the meat and lock in

the juices. If the setting is too low,

the cooked meat will be dry.

Turn or stir food using a Teflon

coated or heat-resistant plastic spa-

tula.

Food which has been soaked in a

marinade containing oil can be

placed directly on the grill; otherwise

Turn or stir food frequently to prevent

burning.

lightly oil or grease the cooking area.

Small amounts of wine, water, or

stock can be used to steam foods.

Cognac, spirits and fruit brandies

can also be used to flambé.

Do not flambé under an exhaust

hood. Flames could be drawn up

into the hood by the suction or the

grease filters may ignite.

Dry wet foods with paper towels be-

fore cooking to minimize splattering.

To prevent meat from drying out, salt

it after grilling.

Cut fish into bite-size pieces or fil-

lets, and brush with lemon juice.

Cleaning and care

Clean the grill after each use.

Under no circumstances use a

steam cleaner to clean this ap-

pliance. Pressurized steam could

cause permanent damage to the

surface and to components for

which the manufacturer cannot ac-

cept responsibility.

Allow the grill to cool down. Use a

damp cloth to remove any debris. Stub-

born soiling can be removed with a

shielded scraper blade.

Then apply a cleaner for ceramic sur-

faces using a soft cloth or paper towel.

This way any limescale deposits,

caused by water boiling over and me-

tallic marks (aluminium deposits) are

removed.

Do not use any sharp pointed ob-

jects which could damage the seal

between the ceramic surface and

the surrounding frame and between

the frame and the top.

Finally, wipe over the surface with a

damp cloth and then dry with a soft,

clean cloth.

Never use scouring agents, pads,

abrasive cleaning agents, or strong

cleaners e.g. oven sprays, stain or

rust removers, as these could dam-

age the surface of the appliance.

Should any sugar, plastic or alumi-

nium foil spill or fall on to the cooktop

while it is in use, first turn off the cook-

top. Then immediately, while the sur-

face is still hot, use a shielded scraper

blade to scrape off the sugar, plastic or

aluminium foil, taking care not to burn

yourself. Allow the cooktop to cool

down and then clean with a suitable

ceramic cooktop cleaner.

Do not use liquid dish soap on the

ceramic surface as it can leave a

blue sheen on the surface which

may be difficult to remove.

The ceramic surface can be

cleaned using a cleaner for ceramic

surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s

instructions on the packaging.

Ensure that every trace of cleaner

has been removed by rinsing the ce-

ramic surface with clean water. Any

remaining trace could taint food

when the grill is next used.

After cleaning, thoroughly dry the

ceramic surface with a soft cloth to

prevent a build up of limescale

deposits.

Problem solving guide

... the grill does not heat when

turned on

All repairs should be performed by

a trained technician in strict accord-

ance with national and local codes.

Any repairs or maintenance per-

formed by unqualified personnel

could be dangerous.

Check whether:

the electrical circuit has blown a fuse

or “tripped” the circuit breaker. If

power can not be restored, it may be

necessary to call either an electri-

cian or the Miele Technical Service

Dept.

Some minor problems can be resolved

as follows:

... a humming noise is heard while

the grill is heating up

What to do if...

This is normal. The sound will disap-

pear once the grill is hot.

... there is a slight odor during the

first use of the cooktop

This is normal, and occurs as the mois-

ture in the insulation evaporates.
