IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
Proper use
 The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
after being turned off. A burn hazard is present until the residual heat
indicators go out.
 When in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat,
which could cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire.
Never use the cooktop to heat the room.
 Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches
fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water.
Turn off the cooktop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable
fire blanket.
 The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire.
Do not flambé under a hood.
 Spray canisters, aerosols and other flammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore, do not store such items or
substances in a drawer under the cooktop. Any cutlery inserts must
be heat-resistant.
 Never heat empty cookware.
 Do not heat or can food in closed containers, such as tins or
sealed jars, on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the container
and cause it to explode.
 If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the
cover will ignite, explode or melt if the cooktop is still hot or if it is
turned on inadvertently. Never cover the appliance with a cover,
cloth or protective foil.
 If the cooktop is on or accidentally turned on, or if it is still hot,
metal objects on the cooktop can heat up. Other items may melt or
catch fire. Damp lids can become attached to the cooktop by
suction. Do not store items on the cooktop. Always turn the burners
off after use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
 You can burn yourself on a hot cooktop. When cooking on the
cooktop, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders or
oven mitts. Only use dry pot holders and oven mitts. Wet or damp
textiles conduct heat more effectively and produce steam, which
poses a burn hazard.
 When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near the
cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into
contact with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation could become
damaged.
 Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can
cause scratches if they get onto pan bottoms. Make sure that the
ceramic surface and pan bottom are clean before placing any pans
on the cooktop.
 Even light objects (such as a salt shaker) can cause damage to
the ceramic cooktop in certain circumstances. Do not drop anything
on the ceramic surface.
 Hot objects on the residual heat indicators can cause damage to
the electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans in these areas.
 Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum
foil, to get on the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage the
ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off the
appliance immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or
aluminum residues while still hot using a scraper blade. Wear oven
mitts when doing so. Allow the burners to cool down and clean them
with a suitable ceramic cleaning agent.
 Pans that boil dry can damage the ceramic surface. Never leave
the cooktop unattended during use.
 Pots and pans with rough bottoms can scratch the ceramic
surface. Only use pots and pans that are smooth on the bottom.
 Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuff marks and scratches.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
 Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high
temperatures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum foil cookware.
 The cooktop trim or edge (in the case of bevelled cooktops) can
become hot due to the following factors: operating time, high output
settings, large cookware, and number of burners in use.
 Cookware that is made of aluminum or has an aluminum bottom
can leave behind shiny metallic spots. These spots can be removed
with ceramic and stainless steel cleaner (see "Cleaning and care").
 If spills or splatters are allowed to remain on the cooktop for any
length of time, they can bake onto the cooktop, and it may not be
possible to remove them. Remove spills and splatters immediately.
Also make sure that the bottom of any cookware is clean, dry, and
free of grease before placing it on the cooktop.
Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.

Caring for the environment
12
Disposal of the transport
packaging material
The packaging material protects the
appliance from transport damage. The
packaging materials used are selected
from materials which are
environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also the
amount of waste. You can return the
packaging to your Miele dealer.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for their correct
functioning and safety. These could be
hazardous to your health and to the
environment if disposed of with general
waste or if handled incorrectly. Please
do not, therefore, dispose of your old
appliance with general waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances in
your local community, dealer, or with
Miele. By law, you are solely
responsible for deleting any personal
data from the appliance prior to
disposal. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Initial commissioning
15
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 manual.
Remove any protective foil and
stickers from the cooktop.
Cleaning the cooktop for the
first time
Before using it for the first time, wipe
down the cooktop with a damp cloth
and then wipe it dry.
Turning on the cooktop for the
first time
The cooktop's metal components are
protected by a conditioning agent.
Smells and vapor may occur when the
appliance is used for the first time.
The smell and any vapors that may
occur do not indicate a faulty
connection or defective appliance and
are not harmful to your health.

How the burners work
16
Standard burners have one heating
band, and variable burners and
casserole areas have two heating
bands. Depending on the model, the
heating bands may be separated by a
ring.
Each burner features overheat
protection (internal temperature limiter),
which prevents the ceramic surface
from overheating (see "Overheat
protection").
When a power level is set, heating is
activated and the heating band is
visible through the ceramic surface. The
heat output of the burners depends on
the power level set and is controlled
electronically. This causes the "cycling"
of a burner: the heating is turned on
and off.

Cookware
17
The most suitable cookware is metal
pots and pans with thick bases that,
when cold, bulge inwards slightly. On
warming, the base expands and rests
flat on the cooktop; this conducts the
heat optimally.
Cold Hot
Glass, ceramic, or stoneware is less
suitable. These materials do not
conduct the heat well.
Cookware made of plastic or aluminum
is not suitable. These melt at high
temperatures.
Cookware that is made of aluminum or
has an aluminum base can leave behind
shiny metallic spots. These spots can
be removed with ceramic and stainless
steel cleaner (see "Cleaning and care").
The composition of the pan base can
affect the evenness of the cooking
results (e.g. when making pancakes).
– To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with a suitable
base diameter (see chapter "Cooking
zones").
– Use only pots and pans with smooth
bases. Rough bases can scratch the
ceramic glass.
– Always lift the pans to move them.
This will help prevent scratching.
– The maximum diameter indicated by
manufacturers will often refer to the
diameter of the top rim of the pot or
pan. The diameter of the base
(generally smaller) is more important.

Energy saving tips
18
– Make sure that the bottoms of pots or
pans either match the size of the
burner or are somewhat larger. This
ensures that heat from the burner is
not wasted.
– Whenever possible, keep pots and
pans covered while cooking. Doing
so will prevent unnecessary heat loss.
– For small quantities, select a small
pan. A small pan on a small burner
uses less energy than a large, only
partially filled pan on a large burner.
– Cook with as little water as possible.
– Once food has come to a boil or the
pan is hot for frying, reduce the heat
to a lower power setting.
– When cooking for a longer amount of
time, turn the burner off at least 5 to
10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time. This makes use of the
residual heat.
– Use a pressure cooker to reduce the
cooking time.

Operation
20
Fire hazard.
Do not leave the appliance
unattended while cooking.
Burner control knobs
The oven is equipped with different
control knobs:
– Knobs with a stop. These must not
be turned past the stop to 0.
– Knobs without a stop. These can be
turned a full 360°.
Switching on
Turn burner knobs with a stop
clockwise to the desired power
setting.
Turn burner knobs without a stop
clockwise or counter-clockwise to the
desired power setting.
Switching off
Turn the burner knobs with a stop
counter-clockwise to 0.
Turn the burner knobs without a stop
clockwise or counter-clockwise to 0.
Residual heat indicator
When a specified temperature is
reached after a burner, for example the
left front, has been turned on, the
corresponding residual heat indicator
lights up:
When the burner cools down to a
specified temperature after being
switched off, the residual heat indicator
goes out.
If extremely hot cookware remains
on the burner for a longer amount of
time after the burner is switched off,
the burner may still be hot, even
though the residual heat indicator is
no longer on.
Danger of burning!
Do not touch the cooking zones
while the residual heat indicators are
on.
Hot objects on the residual heat
indicators can damage the
electronics underneath.
NEVER place hot pots or pans in this
area.
