Technical safety
~Before installing the cooktop, check
for externally visible damage. Do not
operate a damaged appliance. A
damaged appliance is dangerous and
poses a safety hazard.
~The electrical safety of the cooktop
can only be guaranteed when there is
proper grounding that complies with
applicable safety regulations. It is
imperative that this basic safety
requirement be met.
In case of doubt, have the electrical
system checked by a qualified
electrician. Miele cannot be held liable
for damages resulting from an
inadequate grounding system (for
example, electric shock).
~Before installing the cooktop, make
sure that the electrical rating (voltage
and frequency) shown on the data plate
corresponds to the electrical supply.
These ratings must match, in order to
avoid damaging the appliance. If in
doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
~To ensure safe operation, use the
cooktop only after it has been properly
installed in place.
~Do not open the cooktop housing
under any circumstances.
Any contact with connections carrying
voltage, or changes in the electrical or
mechanical set-up, will endanger you
and may impair the functioning of the
cooktop.
~Installation, repair and maintenance
work should be performed by a Miele
authorized service technician.
Installation, maintenance or repair work
by unqualified persons could pose
serious risks to the user for which Miele
will not be held liable.
~When performing installation or
maintenance work or repairs, the
cooktop must be disconnected from the
power supply. It is only completely
isolated from the electrical supply when
one of the following conditions is met:
–the circuit breaker in the electrical
panel is tripped,
– the plug fuse is removed from the
electrical panel,
– the power cable is disconnected
from the power supply.
Pull the plug, not the cord, to
disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
~Repair of the induction cooktop
during the warranty period should be
performed only by a service technician
who is authorized by Miele; otherwise,
should damage result, it will not be
covered by the warranty.
~Defective components should be
replaced by Miele original spare parts
only. Only with these parts can Miele
guarantee the safety of the appliance.
Warning and safety instructions

~The cooktop is not intended for use
with an external timer or a remote
control system.
~Do not connect the cooktop to the
power supply by a power bar or an
extension cord, as they do not ensure
the required safety of the appliance
(danger of overheating, for example).
~Do not use the induction cooktop if
the ceramic surface is cracked,
chipped or damaged in any way. Turn it
off immediately. Disconnect it from the
power supply. If you fail to follow these
steps, there is the danger of electric
shock!
~If the plug is removed from the
power cord to hardwire the cooktop, it
must be installed and connected by a
qualified electrician. This should be
performed by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all local and national
codes, and requirements. Miele will not
be held liable for damages resulting
from improper installation or
connection.
Correct use
~Only for individuals with a
pacemaker:
Please note that an electromagnetic
field is generated in the immediate
vicinity of the cooktop when it is on. It is
unlikely that this will affect a
pacemaker.
However, if in doubt consult the
manufacturer of the pacemaker or your
doctor.
~Keep magnetized items, e.g. credit
cards, computer disks, calculators, etc.
away from the cooktop while in
operation. This may impair their
function.
~The cooktop is hot during use and
remains so for some time after being
turned off. There is a risk of burning
until the residual heat indicator has
switched off.
~Do not leave the cooktop
unattended while it is in use.
A pan that has boiled dry can cause
damage to the ceramic surface for
which Miele cannot be held liable.
Overheated oil or fat could ignite and
spark a fire.
~If hot fat or oil catches fire, NEVER
use water to douse the flames. Instead,
use a pot lid, wet dishtowel, or similar
item to smother the fire.
Warning and safety instructions
9

~Protect your hands when working
around the hot cooktop - wear
heat-resistant oven mitts and use
potholders, etc. Use only dry
potholders, make sure they are not
damp or wet, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more
quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.
~Never flambé food under an exhaust
hood. The flames can set fire to the
exhaust hood.
~Do not use the cooktop as a storage
surface.
Above all, do not place any knives,
forks, spoons, etc., or other metallic
objects on it. If the cooktop is on or
accidentally turned on or there is
residual heat, metallic objects can heat
up and cause burns.
Other items may melt or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the
ceramic surface and be difficult to
dislodge.
Always turn the cooktop off after use!
~Installation of several units
Do not place hot pots or pans on the
spacing strips because they could
damage the seal of the spacing strip.
~Do not cover the cooktop, for
example, with a cover, a cloth or
protective film. If the cooktop is turned
on by mistake or there is residual heat
there is a danger that the material
ignites, explodes or melts.
~NEVER use the appliance to heat up
closed containers, e.g., canned foods.
The increased pressure can cause the
containers/cans to explode, and this
carries the danger of injury and burns.
~Use only pots and pans with flat
bases. Sharp pot and pan bases
scratch the ceramic glass sheet.
~Never heat up an empty cookware,
unless the Cookware manufacturer
allows specifically this application. Due
to the high heating rate of Induction, the
temperature at bottom of the pan may
possibly reach within the shortest time
the Self-ignition temperature of oils or
other fats.
~Keep the cooktop clean. Grains of
salt, sugar or sand (for example, from
cleaning vegetabes) can cause
scratches.
~NEVER place hot pots or pans near
the display. That could damage the
electronic unit underneath.
~Be careful that no objects or
cookware fall onto the ceramic surface.
Even a light object, such as a salt
shaker, can cause cracks and chips in
the ceramic surface.
~If you use an electric small
appliance, such as a hand mixer, in the
vicinity of the cooktop, make sure that
the power cord does not come into
contact with the hot cooktop. This could
damage the insulation on the cord.
Danger of electric shock.
Warning and safety instructions
10

~If sugar, sugary foods, plastic, or
aluminum foil fall onto the hot cooktop,
turn the appliance off. Remove these
materials immediately while they are
still hot, because if allowed to cool they
will damage the ceramic surface.
Take care not to burn yourself.
Clean the appliance when it has cooled
down.
~The cooktop is equipped with a
cooling fan. If there is a drawer directly
underneath the appliance, ensure that
there is sufficient space between the
drawer and its contents and the
underside of the appliance to ensure
adequate ventilation. Sharp or small
objects and paper may not be kept in
the drawer. These can penetrate or be
sucked into the housing through the
vents and damage the fan or impair
cooling.
~If there is a drawer below the
cooktop, do NOT store any spray cans,
flammable liquids, or other flammable
materials in the drawer. Cutlery trays
must be made of heat-resistant
material.
~Metallic objects, which are kept in a
drawer under the coooktop, can
become hot during prolonged, heavy
use of the appliance.
~Always cook food thoroughly.
Temperatures must be high enough,
and the cooking times long enough, to
kill any germs in the food.
~Do not use two pans on a burner at
the same time.
~If the cooktop is built in behind a
panelled door, it should only be
operated with the door open.
Close the door only when the appliance
is shut off and the Residual Heat
indicators have gone out.
~If the cooktop is installed above a
pyrolytic oven it should not be used
during the pyrolytic process. The
overheating protection feature of the
combiset might be activated.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by failure to comply
with these safety instructions and
warnings.
Warning and safety instructions

Attach the data plate found in the
documents for your appliance in the
locations indicated in "Data Plate."
Clean the combiset
^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.
Heat the appliance
When the combiset is first connected to
the power supply and after a power
failure, all indicators in the display will
light up for approx. 1 second. The
combiset can be used as normal once
the indicators go out.
When the appliance is used for the first
time, it may give off a slight smell and
some vapours. This smell will be less
noticeable with each subsequent use
before dissipating completely.
The smell and any vapours given off do
not indicate a faulty connection or
appliance and they are not hazardous
to health.
Please note that the heating up time
on induction hobs is very much
shorter than on conventional hobs.
Before using for the first time
12

How it works
An induction coil is located under the
burner. When the burner is switched
on, this coil creates a magnetic field
which impacts directly on the base of
the pan and heats it up. The burner
itself is heated indirectly by the heat
given off by the pan.
Induction burners only work when a
magnetic based pan is placed on it
(see "Cookware").
Induction automatically recognizes the
size of the pan, i.e. heat is only
generated in the area covered by the
base of the pan.
The burner 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 pan is too small.
– if the pan is taken off the burner
when it is turned on.
If this happens, ßwill flash in the
display.
If a suitable pan is placed on the burner
within 3 minutes, ßwill go out and you
can continue cooking as normal.
If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed
on the burner, the burner and the
combiset will switch off automatically
after 3 minutes. 0will flash alternately
with Cin the display.
To use the burner again as normal, first
turn the control knob to "0".
Be careful not to place cutlery or
other metal objects on the combiset.
When the appliance is switched on,
or when there is residual heat
present, there is the risk of metal
objects heating up quickly.
Beware of burns.
Depending on the material, other
objects left on the combiset could
also melt or catch fire.
Turn off the burner after use.

Noises
When using an induction burner, the
following noises can occur in the pan,
depending on what it is made of and
how it is constructed.
–Higher power settings may cause a
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. a
sandwiched base), a cracking sound
may be heard.
– You may 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 combiset is being used at high
levels for a long period of time, this will
come on and you will hear a whirring
sound. The fan may continue to run
after the appliance has been switched
off.

Cookware
Suitable pans include:
–stainless steel pans with a magnetic
base
–enameled steel pans
–cast iron pans
Unsuitable pans:
–stainless steel pans without a
magnetic base
–aluminum and copper pans
– glass, ceramic or earthenware pots
and pans
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable
for use on an induction combiset, 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.
Pan size
To make optimum use of the burner,
choose cookware that fits between the
inner and outer marking of the burner. If
the base diameter of the pan is smaller
than the inner marking, the induction
heating will not work. The burner will
behave as if it has 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.
Make sure that you always place the
pan in the middle of the burner. If
the pan only partially covers the
burner, the handle could become
very hot.

Turning the combiset On/Off
,Do not leave the appliance
unattended while in use.
To turn the combiset on turn the control
knob clockwise ato the desired
power level.
To turn the combiset off turn the control
knob counterclockwise bto "0".
The knob must only be turned
clockwise to turn the burner on and
counterclockwise to turn the burner
off.
When the combiset is turned on, the
On/Off indicator lights up. Once the
combiset has reached a factory set
temperature, the residual heat indicator
will light.
When the combiset is turned off the
On/Off indicator will go out.
Residual heat indicator
The residual heat indicator will go out
once the combiset has cooled to a safe
temperature.
As long as the residual heat
indicator is lit, do not touch or place
any heat sensitive items on the
burner. Danger of burns and fire
hazard.
