Technical safety
~Installation, maintenance and repair work may only be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance
with national and local safety regulations. Installation, maintenance
and repairs by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Miele
cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
~A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check the appliance
for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
~The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if
correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is
any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician.
~To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the
connection data (frequency and voltage) on the data plate
corresponds to the household supply, before connecting the
appliance to the mains supply.
Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
~Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
~For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
~This cooktop must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
~Do not open the casing of the appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician authorised by Miele. Otherwise
the warranty will be invalidated.
~The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance
when original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.
~The cooktop is not intended for use with an external timer switch
or a remote control system.
~The cooktop must be connected to the electrical supply by a
qualified electrician. If the electrical connection cable is faulty, it
must be replaced with a special connection cable installed by a
qualified electrician. See "Electrical connection".
~The appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity
supply during installation, maintenance and repair work. Ensure that
power is not supplied to the appliance until after it has been
installed or until any maintenance or repair work has been carried
out.
It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

–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.
~If the cooktop is fitted with a communication module, in addition
to disconnecting the cooktop, this module must also be
disconnected from the mains electricity during installation and
maintenance of the cooktop as well as while any repair work is being
carried out.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

~Danger of electric shock.
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.
~In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
Warning and Safety instructions
14

Correct use
~Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the
appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fat. If oil or fat does
catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with water.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains and 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.
~Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the cooktop. Cutlery inserts must be
heat-resistant.
~Do not heat an empty pan.
~Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the cooktop, as
pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode.
~Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth or
protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the
appliance is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still
present.
~When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food
blender, near the appliance, ensure that the cable of the electrical
appliance cannot come into contact with the hot appliance. The
insulation on the cable could become damaged.
~Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high
temperatures and could catch fire.
~If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may
only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the door
whilst the cooktop in use or whilst there is any residual heat present.
Warning and Safety instructions
15

~The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the
residual heat indicators go out.
~You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. Protect your hands
with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.
~When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of
any metal items left on the cooktop heating up, with the danger of
burning.
Depending on the material, other items left on the cooktop could
also melt or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult
to dislodge.
Do not use the appliance as a resting place.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
~Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or
aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot, as
they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this
should occur, switch off the appliance and scrape off all the sugar,
plastic or aluminium residues from the cooktop whilst still hot using a
shielded scraper blade. Wear oven gloves.
Allow the cooking zones to cool down and then clean them with a
suitable ceramic cooktop cleaning agent.
~Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.
~Do not use pots or pans on the cooktop with bases with
pronounced edges or ridges. These could scratch or scour the
ceramic glass surface permanently. Only use pots and pans with
smooth bases.
Warning and Safety instructions
16

~Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place will
cause scuffs and scratches.
~Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables)
can cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that
the ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.
~Even a light object could cause damage in certain
circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
~Do not place hot objects on the control field as this could cause
damage to the electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the
touch display.
~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.
~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").
~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.
Cleaning and care
~Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
Warning and Safety instructions
17

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been 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
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. 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.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
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. If
handled or disposed of incorrectly they
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
Please do not dispose of your
appliance with household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for
disposal.
Caring for the environment

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
19

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.
