Warning and Safety instructions
10

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and the plug is withdrawn from the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.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~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
~For people fitted with a heart
pacemaker:
Please note that the area immediately
surrounding the cooktop is
electromagnetically charged, and that
this could affect a pacemaker.
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.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~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 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.
~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. 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.
~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.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

~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.
~Do not use two pans on one cooking
or casserole zone at the same time.
~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.
~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).
Miele 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

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.
When the appliance is used for the first time, it may give off a
slight smell. The smell and any vapours will dissipate after a
short time.
The smell and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance, and neither are they hazardous to
health.
Please note that the heating-up time of induction cooktops
is much shorter than that of conventional cooktops.
Before using for the first time
16

How the appliance works
An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When
a cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a magnetic
field which impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats
it up. The cooking zone itself is heated up indirectly by the
heat given off by the pan.
An induction cooking zone only works when a ferromagnetic
pan is placed on it (see "Pans").
Induction automatically recognises the size of the pan, i.e.
heat is only generated 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 diameter of the base of the pan is too small.
– if the pan is taken off the cooking zone when it is switched
on.
If this happens, ßwill flash in the relevant cooking zone
display alternating with the power setting selected .
If a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone within
3 minutes, ßwill go out and you can continue as normal.
If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed on the cooking zone,
the cooking zone and the cooktop 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.
Induction
17

Noises
When using an induction cooking zone, 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 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.
Induction
18

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
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an
induction cooktop, hold a magnet to the base of the pan. If
the magnet sticks, 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.
To make optimum use of the cooking zones, choose pans
with diameters larger than the innermost markings but smaller
than the outermost markings. If the diameter of the pan is
smaller than the innermost marking, the induction heating will
not work. The zone will behave as if it had 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.
Place pans in the centre of the cooking zone.
If a pan's base sits only partly on the cooking zone,
handles can become very hot.
Induction
19

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 and the timer have to be "active" when
you want to set or adjust a power setting or the duration.
To activate the cooking zone or the timer, touch the
appropriate sensor of the cooking zone or the timer. 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.
Exception:
If there is only one cooking zone in operation, you can set or
adjust the power setting without activating it first.
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.
