~Be sure that the power cord does
not come in contact with any "hot spots"
after installation.
Safety
~DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKING
AREA OR THE VICINITY AROUND THE
COOKING AREA - During operation,
the cooking area and its surroundings
will get hot and can cause burns. When
the combiset is shut off, the surface
may remain hot enough to cause harm
although the glow is not visible through
the dark glass. During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact the
cooking area or the vicinity around the
cooking area until they have had
sufficient time to cool. As long as the
surface temperature is high enough to
cause a burn, the Residual Heat
Indicator will remain lit. Once sufficient
time has passed the indicator will go
out and the surface is safe to touch.
~Protect your hands with oven mitts
or potholders when using the
appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant
potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces can result in
steam burns. Do not let the potholder
touch the hot heating elements. Do not
use towels or other bulky items near the
appliance.
~Do not heat unopened containers.
Built-up pressure may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.
~Do not flambé under an exhaust
hood. Flames could be drawn up into
the hood by the suction and the grease
filters may ignite.
~Never use the appliance to heat a
room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the appliance
could catch fire.
~Do not use the appliance until it has
been properly installed in the
countertop.
~Do not store items on the appliance
when not in use. Items could melt or
catch fire from residual heat or if the
appliance is turned on inadvertently.
Always switch the cooking zone(s) off
after use.
~Never cover the burner with a cloth
or protective oven foil. If inadvertently
turned on or if there is residual heat, a
fire could result.
~When more than one combiset is
installed next to each other, be sure not
to place hot pots or pans on the center
line. This could damage the seal.
~Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
garments when operating the
appliance, they may present a fire
hazard.
~Never leave an appliance
unattended at high settings or when
cooking with oil or fat. Overheated oil
could ignite. Always heat oil slowly,
monitoring it as it heats.
~Do not store aerosols, combustibles
or any other easily flammable materials
underneath or adjacent to the
appliance.
~Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother or use a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher on any fire or
flame.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Make certain that the power cords of
small appliances do not come in
contact with the appliance. The
insulation of the cable could become
damaged. Danger of electric shock!
~Be careful not to drop anything on
the ceramic surface of the combiset.
Even lightweight objects may cause
damage.
~Use the proper pan size. Select
cookware with flat bottoms large
enough to cover the heating element.
Using undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the heating element and
may result in ignition of clothing or
handles becoming hot. The proper size
pot or pan will also improve efficiency.
~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.
~Do not use pots or pans with
pronounced edges or ridges on the
ceramic combiset. These could scratch
the combiset permanently. See
"Selecting cookware" for more
information. Grains of salt and sand can
cause scratches. Make sure that the
bases of any pots and pans are clean,
free of any fat or oils and are dry.
~To prevent damage to the combiset
do not use pots and pans with thin
bases on the combiset. Never heat an
empty pan unless the pan manufacturer
states that you can do so.
~Before using glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
cookware verify that they can be used
on a cooking surface.
~To prevent burns and breathing
difficulty, allow the combiset to cool
before cleaning. Some cleaners may
produce toxic fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
~Keep the combiset clean. Salt,
sugar, and grit can cause scratches.
~When wiping spills on a hot
combiset with a wet sponge or cloth, be
careful to avoid steam burns.
~Do not let flammable materials,
i.e. cooking grease, accumulate on the
appliance.
~Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. Steam could penetrate
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
~Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar, pieces of plastic or foil to fall on
the burners when they are hot. If these
residues are allowed to cool on the
ceramic surface pitting or even
cracking may occur.
~Any spills should be removed as
quickly as possible to prevent them
from burning on and becoming difficult
to remove.

Clean the combiset
^Remove any protective coverings or
stickers.
^Before using for the first time, clean
the appliance with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use liquid dish soap to clean
the combiset, this may cause
permanent blue discolorations.
Metal components of the appliance
have a protective coating which may
give off a slight odor the first time the
appliance is heated.
The smell will dissipate after a short
time and does not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance defect.
Before using for the first time
9

One-ring burners use one heating strip,
and two-ring burners and grill zones
use two heating strips. Depending on
the model, the heating strips may be
separated by a certain distance. See
the illustrations.
Every burner is equipped with overheat
protection (inside temperature limiter),
to prevent the glass ceramic combiset
from overheating (see the section on
"Overheat protection").
When you select a power setting, the
heating element switches on and you
will see the heating strip through the
combiset.
The power setting determines how hot
the burner will get, and this is
electronically regulated. This means
that the burner will switch on and off as
needed to maintain the selected power
level.

Overheat protection
Each cooking zone is equipped with a
temperature limiter. This feature
automatically turns off the heating
element before the glass ceramic
becomes too hot. Once the ceramic
surface has cooled to a safe
temperature the heating element will
automatically turn back on.
The overheat protection may be
activated by:
–turning on a burner without putting a
pan on it.
– heating an empty pan.
– an uneven pan not sitting evenly on
the burner.
– the pan not conducting heat
properly.
If the heating elements cycle on and
off, even at the highest setting, the
overheating protection has been
activated.
Use
14

Following these tips will allow you to
make the most of your ceramic
combiset.
The cooking surface
The ceramic combiset is made of an
extremely hard and durable material.
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 combiset if they are pulled
across the ceramic surface.
Make sure the combiset and pot
bottoms are clean before cooking.
Certain items, particularly sugar grains
or crystallized liquids such as molasses
or syrups are 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 combiset.
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.
–For the most even and energy
efficient cooking, the diameter of the
pots/pans should match the diameter
of the burners as closely as possible.
– Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth
bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms
will also work adequately. Pans with
convex bottoms will not cook well.
–Whenever possible, keep pots and
pans closed while cooking. This
helps keep in the most possible heat.
–For longer cooking periods, you can
switch off the cooking zone 5 to 10
minutes before the total cooking time
is completed. The residual heat will
continue to cook the food.
Selecting cookware
15

Copper bottom and aluminum pans
may leave a residue on the combiset in
the form of metallic lines. This is normal.
These lines can be removed using a
non-abrasive ceramic combiset cleaner
or a shielded scraper blade.
Be sure to clean the combiset after
each use. Each time this residue is
allowed to melt it becomes harder to
remove and may mar the
appearance of the combiset.
Let the combiset cool before
cleaning.
Cast iron, glass or stoneware should
not be used because they have poor
heat transfer and may scratch the
combiset surface.
Selecting cookware
16

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. Steam could
penetrate electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurized
steam could cause permanent
damage to the surface.
Do not use any sharp pointed
objects which could damage the
seal between the ceramic surface,
the surrounding frame and the
countertop.
Never use abrasive cleaners,
caustic (oven) cleaners, dishwasher
detergent, scouring pads, steel wool
or hard brushes. They will damage
the surface.
The ceramic surface can be cleaned
using a cleaner for ceramic
surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Make sure that no cleaner residue
remains on the ceramic surface by
carefully wiping the combiset with a
damp cloth. They may damage the
combiset or produce toxic fumes
when heated.
Be sure that pot and pan bases are
clean and dry.
After cleaning dry the ceramic
surface with a soft cloth to prevent a
build up of limescale deposits.
Clean any spills immediately before
they become difficult to remove.
Do not use liquid dish soap to clean
the ceramic surface. When using
dish soap a film is left on the surface
which can lead to discolorations on
the ceramic surface. These
discolorations cannot be removed.
Clean the ceramic surface regularly
with a ceramic cleaner.
Clean the appliance regularly,
preferably after each use. Allow the
appliance to cool before cleaning.
Cleaning and care
17

Ceramic surfaces
^Wipe off any soiling using a damp
cloth. Stubborn soiling is best
removed with a shielded scraper
blade.
^Apply a ceramic cleaner (available
from Miele) using a soft cloth or
paper towel.
^To remove any limescale deposits or
metallic residue apply a ceramic
cleaner using a soft cloth or use a
shielded scraper blade if necessary.
^After cleaning wipe the ceramic
surface with a damp cloth and dry.
A cleaner with a special additive to
prevent water marks and smears on the
ceramic surface may be used.
Any melted solids like sugar, plastic or
aluminum foil should be removed as
quickly as possible, while the burner is
still warm. If they are allowed to harden
the combiset may become pitted.
^Turn the burner off.
^Using a shielded scraper blade,
scrape the melted item immediately
off the burner while it is still hot.
Use caution: Danger of burns!
^Allow the combiset to cool and clean
as previously described.
Stainless steel
Clean stainless steel surfaces with
warm water and liquid dish soap
applied with a non-abrasive sponge
and then wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Soak baked or hardened spills first to
loosen them.
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner (available from Miele).
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner
for stainless steel can also be used.
Apply sparingly with even pressure.
Do not use stainless steel cleaner on
or around the printing, it may rub
off. Use only a soft sponge with a
mild solution of warm water and
liquid dish soap to clean this area.
