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

~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 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.
~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.

~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

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,
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~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.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~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.
~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.
~Induction heating works extremely quickly, so the base of the pan
could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within
a very short time. Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is
being used.
~Heat oil or fat for a maximum of one minute. Do not use the
Booster function to heat oil or fat.
~For people fitted with a heart pacemaker:
Please note that the area immediately surrounding the cooktop is
electromagnetically charged. It is 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, digital storage devices, pocket calculators,
etc, do not leave them in the immediate vicinity of the cooktop.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~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 store any metal items or utensils in a drawer under the cooktop
~This cooktop 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 of 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.
~Do not use two pans on a cooking zone, extended zone or
combined PowerFlex zone at the same time.
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.
~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).

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 or contact your Chartered Agent
for advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for
disposal.
