Warning and Safety instructions
9

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 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.
~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
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
national and local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer 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and the plug is withdrawn from the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.
~While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~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 the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
~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 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.
~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 guarantee.
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.
~During prolonged or intensive use of
the appliance, the frame gets hot and
the control panel can also become
quite warm. This is quite normal and
does not indicate a fault.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~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 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.
~Do not use cookware with an
exposed copper or aluminium base as
they may leave permanent visual marks
on the ceramic surface.
~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. This could damage
the electronic unit underneath.
~Do not drop anything on the ceramic
surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~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 scaper
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.
~When using an electric socket near
the cooktop, care should be taken that
the cable of the electrical appliance
does not come into contact with a hot
cooking zone. 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.
~Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
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 a domestic animal gets onto the
cooktop, a sensor switch could be
touched and a cooking zone switched
on. Keep pets away from the cooktop at
all times.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
Warning and Safety instructions

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
14

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
stickers.
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.
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.
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight
smell when heated up for the first time.
The smell and any fumes given off do
not mean that the appliance is
defective or has been wrongly installed,
and they are not harmful to health.
Before using for the first time
15

Recalibration of the sensor
controls
Automatic recalibration
To ensure trouble free operation, the
sensor controls
–recalibrate when the appliance is first
connected to the mains electricity
supply and after any interruption to
the power supply.
During automatic recalibration the
safety lock indicator lamp is lit and
the cooktop can not be switched on.
– adjust themselves constantly to the
surrounding conditions.
If the automatic recalibration was not
successful, the cooking zone displays
front left and front right will show an A,
rear left an F. The cooking zone display
rear right and the Timer/Memory
display will show numbers.
If this is the case, recalibration will have
to be carried out manually.
Manual recalibration
^Make sure that there is no direct light
(from the sun or from an artificial
source) falling onto the cooktop. The
area surrounding the cooktop must
not be too dark, nor should the
relationship between light and shade
be constantly changing.
^Make sure that there is nothing
covering the sensor controls or the
cooktop. Take any pans off the
cooktop and wipe away any food
deposits.
^Interrupt the power supply to the
cooktop for approx. 1 minute.
Reconnect the cooktop to the electricity
supply. The electronic unit will reset the
sensitivity levels of the sensor controls.
If this does not solve the problem
please call the Miele Customer Contact
Center.
Before using for the first time
16

Single circle cooking zones have one
heating element, whilst double circle
(vario) cooking zones and extended
zones have two. Depending on the
model, the heating elements may be
separated by an isolating 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 level 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 level selected,
and is electronically regulated. This
controls the "timing" of a cooking zone,
switching the element on and off.

Sensor controls
This cooktop is equipped with
electronic sensor controls which react
to finger contact.
To operate a cooking zone touch the
relevant sensor control. Each time you
touch a sensor control an audible tone
sounds.
Make sure that only one sensor is
touched at a time (except when
switching off a cooking zone) and
keep the control area clean and do
not put things down on it. The
sensors may fail to react or they
could mistake the article or any dirt
for a finger tip contact, thereby
activating a function or even causing
the cooktop to switch off
automatically (see "Safety
switch-off".)
Never place hot pans over the
sensors. The electronic unit
underneath could get damaged.
Switching on
The cooktop must be switched on
before any of the zones can be used.
Do not leave the appliance
unattended whilst it is being used.
To switch the cooktop on:
^Touch the ON/OFF sensor s.
A0appears in the display for each of
the zones, 00 appears in the
Timer/Memory display. If no further
entry is made, the cooktop will switch
itself off after a few seconds for safety
reasons.
To switch a cooking zone on:
^Select a power setting between 1and
12 by touching the -or +sensor.
To select cooking with Auto heat-up,
press the -sensor first, see "Auto
heat-up". To select cooking without
Auto heat-up press the +sensor first.
If you wish to switch on another
cooking zone, and the 0for that zone
has already gone out, press the -or +
sensor briefly. The 0will appear and
you can select a power setting (with or
without Auto heat-up).

Cooking with Auto heat-up
When Auto heat-up has been activated,
the cooking zone switches on
automatically at the highest setting and
then switches to the continued cooking
setting selected. The heat-up time
depends on which continued cooking
setting has been chosen (see chart).
As the higher continued cooking
settings are generally used for frying
food, only a relatively short heat-up time
is needed to heat up the pan initially.
