Warning and safety instructions
11

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and the plug is withdrawn from the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
12

~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
~For people fitted with a heart
pacemaker:
Please note that the area immediately
surrounding the cooktop is
electromagnetically charged, and that it
is very unlikely to affect a pacemaker.
However, if in any doubt, consult the
manufacturer of the pacemaker or your
doctor.
~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.
~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, 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.
Warning and safety instructions
13

~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. 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 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 or ridges, e.g.
cast iron pans. These could scratch or
scour the cooktop surface permanently.
~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.
~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.
Warning and safety instructions
14

~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.
~This appliance 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 pointed or 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.
~Spray canisters, aerosols and other
inflammable substances must not be
stored in a drawer under the cooktop.
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
~Metal utensils stored in a drawer
under the cooktop can become hot if
the induction cooktop is used
intensively for a long time.
~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 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.

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
16

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
17

Principle
An induction coil is located under each
cooking zone. When a zone is switched
on this coil creates a magnetic field
which generates heat in the base of the
pan on it. The cooking zone itself is
heated up indirectly by the heat given
off by the pan.
Induction cooking zones will only react
to pans with a magnetic base (see
"Pans").
Induction recognizes the size of the
pan, this means that it will only work 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 bottom diameter of the pan is
too small.
– if the pan is removed from the
cooking zone.
In this case in the cooking zone display
the symbol ßwill start flashing,
alternating with 0or the last selected
power setting.
If a suitable pan is placed on the
cooking zone with 3 minutes, ßwill go
out and you can proceed as usual.
If no pan, or an unsuitable pan, is
placed on the zone, it will switch off
automatically after 3 minutes.
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, do not
rely on the pan detector.
Induction

Noises
When using an induction cooktop, 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 if linked zones
(see "Booster function") are being
used on the highest setting at the
same time, and the pans also have
bases made of layers of different
materials.
– 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
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
In case you are not sure if a pot or pan
is suitable for induction, hold a magnet
to the bottom off the pan. If the magnet
sticks to it, 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 inner markings but
smaller than the outer markings. If the
diameter of the pan is smaller than the
inner marking, the induction heating will
not work. The cooking zone will react as
if there is 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 pan lid whenever possible to
minimise heat loss.
