Technical safety
~Before installation, check the
appliance for visible signs of damage.
Do not install and use a damaged
appliance. A damaged appliance is
dangerous.
~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 rated 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.
~For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used after it has been built
in.
~Never open the housing of the
appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.
~Installation, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by a
Miele authorised, suitably qualified and
competent person in strict accordance
with current national and local safety
regulations.
Repairs and other work by
unauthorised and unqualified persons
could be dangerous. Miele cannot be
held liable for unauthorised work.
~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and the plug is withdrawn from the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.
Warning and Safety instructions
9

~While the appliance is under
warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by Miele. Otherwise the
warranty will be invalidated.
~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.
~If the connection cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by a suitably
qualified electrician with a specialist
connection cable of type H 05 VV-F
(pvc insulated), available from Miele.
~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.
~Do not use the cooktop if the
ceramic surface is cracked, chipped or
damaged in any way. Switch it off im-
mediately, and disconnect it from the
mains electricity supply. Danger of
electric shock!
~In areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to
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 warranty.
Correct use
~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.
~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 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 use the appliance to heat up
the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire. The life of the
appliance could also be reduced.
~The following factors can cause the
area around the control panel and the
frame or edges of the cooktop to
become hot: The length of time the
cooktop has been used for, using it on
high settings, using large pans, and the
number of zones in use at any one time.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~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.
~Do not flambé under a rangehood.
The flames could set the rangehood on
fire.
~Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else. 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 cover the appliance, e.g.
with a cooktop cover, a cloth, kitchen
foil, etc. This could be a fire hazard if
the appliance is switched on by
mistake.
~Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high
temperatures and could catch 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.
~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.
~Pots and pans made of aluminium or
with an aluminium base can leave a
metallic sheen on the cooktop. This can
be removed with the Original Miele
ceramic and stainless steel cooktop
cleaner (see "Cleaning and care").
~Never heat an empty pan unless the
manufacturer of the pan expressly
states that you can do so. This could
damage the appliance.
~Keep the cooktop clean. Grains of
salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from
cleaning vegetables) can cause
scratches.
~Never place hot pans on the area
around the controls. The electronic unit
underneath could get damaged.
~Do not drop anything on the ceramic
surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~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.
~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.
Once the residues have been removed,
allow the appliance to cool down, and
then clean with the Original Miele
ceramic and stainless steel cooktop
cleaner.
~When using an electrical appliance,
e.g. a hand-held mixer, near the
cooktop, ensure that the connection
cable doesn't come into contact with
the cooktop. The insulation on the cable
could become damaged, giving rise to
an electric shock hazard.
~Spray canisters, aerosols and other
inflammable substances must not be
stored in a drawer under the cooktop.
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
~If the cooktop is built-in behind a
furniture door, it must only be operated
when the door is open.
Close the furniture door only once the
appliance has been switched off and
the residual heat indicators have gone
out.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

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
13

Please stick 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.
Before using for the first time
On cooktops with bevelled glass edges, a small gap may
be visible between the cooktop and the worktop during the
first few days after installation. This gap will reduce with
time as the appliance is used and will not affect the
electrical safety of your appliance.
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 neither are they hazardous to
health.
Before using for the first time
14

Single circle cooking zones have one heating element, whilst
double circle cooking zones and extended zones have two.
Depending on the model, the heating elements may be
separated by an insulating ring.
Each cooking zone has overheating protection (a
temperature limiter), which stops the ceramic surface from
becoming too hot (see "Overheating protection").
When a power setting is selected, the heat switches on and
the element can be seen through the ceramic surface.
The temperature of the cooking zones depends on the power
setting selected, and is electronically regulated. This controls
the "timing" of a cooking zone, switching the element on and
off.

Operation
This ceramic cooktop is equipped with electronic sensor
switches which react to finger contact.
To operate a cooking zone, touch the relevant sensor. Each
time you touch a sensor, an audible tone sounds.
The cooking zones have to be "active" when you want to set
or adjust a power setting or the duration.
To activate the cooking zone, touch the appropriate sensor of
the cooking zone. The sensor will start to flash on and off after
you touched it. While the sensor is flashing, set or adjust the
power setting or the duration.
Take care to keep the control area clean. Do not place
anything on the control area. The sensor switches may fail
to react or they could mistake the article or any dirt for a
fingertip contact, thereby activating a function or even
causing the cooktop to switch off automatically (see Safety
switch-off.)
Never place hot pans on the sensor switches. The
electronic unit underneath could get damaged.
