unauthorised work.
~Before installation, check the
appliance for visible signs of damage.
Under no circumstances should you
use it if it has been damaged. A
damaged appliance is dangerous.
~Do not use the cooktop if it is faulty,
or if the ceramic surface is cracked,
chipped or damaged in any way.
Switch it off immediately, and
disconnect it from the mains electricity
supply. Danger of electric shock.
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system which
complies with local and national safety
regulations. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is present and
regularly tested, and where there is any
doubt, the household wiring system
should be inspected by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
~Before connecting the appliance,
make sure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.
~Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~This appliance is not intended to be
operated by means of an external timer
or separate remote control-system.
~For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used after it has been built
in.
~This appliance may be connected
via a fused plug and switched socket. If
you wish to connect it to an isolator
switch, or if the appliance is supplied
without a plug, it must be installed and
connected by a suitably qualified and
competent person in strict accordance

guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee will be
invalidated.
~During installation, maintenance and
repair work, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply. It is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply when:
– the mains fuse is disconnected,
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable),
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn from the
socket, or it is switched off at the
isolator.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
~In areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other

keeping the appliance and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all
times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

Correct use
~For people fitted with a heart
pacemaker:
Please note that the area immediately
surrounding the appliance is
electromagnetically charged, and that
this could affect a pacemaker.
If in any doubt consult the manufacturer
of the pacemaker or your doctor.
~The appliance gets hot when in use
and remains hot for quite a while after
being switched off. There is a danger
of burning until the residual heat
indicators go out.
~For added protection, it is advisable
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance. Do
not let them get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the
material more quickly with the risk of
scalding or burning yourself.
~This appliance must not be set up or
operated in the open air.
~When using an electric socket near
the appliance, care should be taken
that the cable of the electrical
appliance does not come into contact
with the hot appliance. The insulation
on the cable could become damaged,
giving rise to an electric shock hazard.
~Do not cover the appliance, e.g.
with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could
be a fire hazard if the appliance is
switched on by mistake.
~Do not leave the appliance
unattended whilst it is in use.
Pans that have boiled dry can cause
damage to the ceramic surface for
which the manufacturer cannot be held
liable.
Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause
a fire.
~If, despite this, oil or fat does catch
fire, do not attempt to put out the flames
with water. Use a suitable fire blanket,
saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to
smother the flames.
~Do not flambé under a rangehood.
The flames could set the rangehood on
fire.
~Do not heat up unopened tins of
food on the cooktop, as pressure will
build up in the tin, causing it to
explode. This could result in injury and
scalding or damage.
~To prevent damage to items which
are susceptible to magnetic fields, e.g.
credit cards, diskettes, pocket
calculators etc, do not leave them in the
immediate vicinity of the cooktop.
~Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high
temperatures, and could catch fire.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~Spray canisters, aerosols and other
inflammable substances should not be
stored in a drawer under the cooktop.
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
~Do not drop anything on the ceramic
surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.
~Keep the cooktop clean. Grains of
salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from
cleaning vegetables) can cause
scratches.
~Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium
foil to get onto the cooking zones when
they are hot. If this should occur,
switch off the appliance, and carefully
scrape off all the sugar, plastic or
aluminium residues from the cooktop
whilst they are still hot, using a shielded
scraper blade. Take care not to burn
yourself.
If residues are allowed to cool before
being removed, the ceramic surface
will be susceptible to pitting or even
cracking.
Once the residues have been removed,
allow the appliance to cool down, and
then clean with a suitable proprietary
ceramic cooktop cleaner.
~To prevent the risk of spillages etc.
burning on, remove any soiling as
quickly as possible and ensure that pan
bases are clean, dry and free of
grease.
~This cooktop is fitted with a cooling
fan. If a drawer is fitted directly
underneath the cooktop, ensure that
there is sufficient space between the
drawer and its contents and the
underside of the appliance in order to
ensure sufficient ventilation for the
cooktop. Do not store small items or
paper in the drawer. They could get in
through the ventilation slots or be
sucked into the housing by the fan and
damage the fan or impair cooling.
~Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else. Take
particular care never to place cutlery or
other metal objects on the appliance.
When the appliance is switched on
either deliberately or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present,
there is the risk of metal objects heating
up, with a danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other
objects left on the cooktop could also
melt or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the
ceramic surface and be difficult to
dislodge.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
~Do not use pots and pans on the
ceramic cooktop with bases with
pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast
iron pans. These could scratch or scour
the cooktop surface permanently.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~Never heat an empty pan unless the
manufacturer of the pan expressly
states that you can do so. Because
induction heating works extremely
quickly the base of the pan could heat
up to the temperature at which oil or fat
self-ignites within a very short time.
~Metal utensils stored in a drawer
under the cooktop could become hot if
the induction cooktop were used
intensively for a long time.
~Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and quantity of
the food and its temperature.
Some foods may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking at a
sufficiently high temperature for long
enough. Therefore, when cooking or
reheating food such as poultry, it is
particularly important that the food is
completely cooked through. If in doubt,
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.
~If the cooktop is built in over a
pyrolitic oven, the cooktop should not
be used whilst the pyrolitic process is
being carried out, as this could trigger
the overheating protection mechanism
on the cooktop (see relevant section).
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
or machine
Electrical and electronic appliances /
machines often contain materials
which, if handled or disposed of
incorrectly, could be potentially
hazardous to human health and to the
environment. They are, however,
essential for the correct functioning of
your appliance or machine. Therefore,
please do not dispose of your old
machine or appliance with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person.
The plug must be rendered useless
and the cable cut off directly behind the
appliance or the machine to prevent
misuse.
Caring for the environment

Please adhere the extra data plate for
the appliance supplied with this
documentation in the space provided in
the "After sales service" section of this
booklet.
Cleaning for the first time
^Remove any protective wrapping and
adhesive labels.
^Before using for the first time, clean
the appliance with a damp cloth only
and then wipe dry.
Do not use washing up liquid to
clean the ceramic surface as it can
leave a blue sheen which may be
difficult to remove.
Before using for the first time
When the induction cokktop is first
connected, and after a power cut, all of
the indicators in the display light up for
approx. 1 second for testing purposes.
The appliance can be used as soon as
the indicators go out.
The metal components have a
protective coating which may give off
a slight smell when heated up for the
first time. The smell and any vapours
given off do not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance, and they
are not harmful to health.
Before using for the first time
15

The induction principle
An induction coil is located under each
cooking zone. When a cooking zone is
switched on, this coil creates a
magnetic field which impacts directly
on the base of the pan and heats it up.
The cooking zone itself is heated up
indirectly by the heat given off by the
pan.
An induction cooking zone only works
when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on
it (see "Pans").
Induction automatically recognises the
size of the pan, i.e. heat is only
generated in the area covered by the
base of the pan.
The cooking zone will not work:
– if it is switched on without a pan in
place, or if the pan is unsuitable
(non-magnetic base).
– if the diameter of the base of the pan
is too small.
–if the pan is taken off the cooking
zone when it is switched on.
If this happens, ßwill flash in the
display.
If a suitable pan is placed on the
cooking zone within 3 minutes, ßwill go
out and you can continue as normal.
If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed
on the cooking zone, the cooking zone
will switch off automatically after 3
minutes. 0and Cwill flash alternately in
the display.
To use the induction zone again, first
turn the control to "0".
Take particular care never to place
cutlery or other metal objects on the
cooktop. When the appliance is
switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual
heat present, there is the risk of
metal items heating up with the
danger of burning.
Switch the cooking zones off after
use.

Noises
When using an induction cooking zone,
the following noises can occur in the
pan, depending on what it is made of
and how it has been constructed.
–On the higher power settings, it
might buzz. This will decrease or
cease altogether when the power
setting is reduced.
–If the pan base is made of layers of
different materials (e.g. in a
sandwiched base), it might emit a
cracking sound.
– Whistling might occur when two
cooking zones are in use and the
bases of the pans are made of layers
of different materials and one of the
linked cooking zones is being
operated with its booster function.
– You might hear a clicking sound from
the electronic switches, especially on
lower settings.
The appliance has a cooling fan to help
extend the life of the electronics. When
the cooktop is being used intensively,
this will come on and you will hear a
whirring sound. The fan may continue
to run after the appliance has been
switched off.

Pans
Suitable pans include:
–stainless steel pans with a magnetic
base
–enamelled steel pans
–cast iron pans
Unsuitable pans:
–stainless steel pans without a
magnetic base
–aluminium and copper pans
–glass, ceramic or earthenware pots
and pans
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable
for use on an induction cooktop, hold a
magnet to the base of the pan. If the
magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.
Please be aware that the properties of
the pan base can affect the eveness
with which food heats up in the pan.
Pan size
To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with diameters
larger than the innermost markings but
smaller than the outermost markings. If
the diameter of the pan is smaller than
the innermost marking, the induction
heating will not work. The zone will
behave as if it had no pan on it.
Please note that the maximum diameter
quoted by manufacturers often refers to
the diameter of the top rim of the pot or
pan. The diameter of the base
(generally smaller) is more important.
Tips on saving energy
Use a lid whenever possible to
minimise heat loss.

Switching on and off
,Do not leave the appliance
unattended whilst it is being used.
Each cooking zone is switched on by
turning the control clockwise ato the
power setting required, and is switched
off by turning the control anticlockwise
bto "0".
Do not turn the control to "0" by
turning it past BI or BI/II.
When a cooking zone is switched on,
the in-operation indicator lights up.
Once it has reached a certain
temperature, the residual heat indicator
also lights up.
After the appliance has been switched
off, the in-operation indicator goes out.
Residual heat indicator
The residual heat indicator remains on
until the induction cooktop is cool
enough to touch.
Do not touch or place any heat
sensitive objects on the induction
cooktop while the residual heat
display is still on. Danger of burning
and fire.
