should be inspected by a qualified
electrician. Miele 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 frequency)
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.
~Do not open the casing of the

Warning and Safety instructions
12

Correct use
~For people fitted with a heart
pacemaker:
Please note that the area immediately
surrounding the hob is
electromagnetically charged. It is
unlikely to 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 hob.
~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 Miele cannot be held liable.
Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause
a fire.
~If 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.
~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.
~Do not flambé under a cooker hood.
The flames could set the cooker hood
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 hob 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.
~Where several appliances are
installed side by side
Do not place hot pots or pans on the
joining strip as this can damage the
seal.
~Do not cover the appliance, e.g.
with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could
be a fire hazard if the appliance were
switched on by mistake.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

~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 hob, 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 hob with bases with
pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast
iron pans. These could scratch or scour
the hob 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 hob clean. Grains of salt,
sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning
vegetables) can cause scratches.
~Do not place hot pans on the area
around the display. This could damage
the electronic unit underneath.
~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 hob whilst they are
still hot, using a shielded scraper
blade.
Take care not to burn yourself.
If residues were allowed to cool before
being removed, the ceramic surface
would be susceptible to pitting or even
cracking.
Clean the appliance once it has cooled
down.
~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, giving rise to an electric
shock hazard.
~This appliance is fitted with a
cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly
underneath the hob, 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 hob. 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
14

~Spray canisters, aerosols and other
inflammable substances should not be
stored in a drawer under the hob.
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
~Metal utensils stored in a drawer
under the hob can become hot if the
induction hob is used intensively for a
long time.
~Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated. Some
foods may contain micro-organisms
which are only destroyed by thorough
cooking at a sufficiently high
temperature for long enough.
Therefore, when cooking or reheating
food such as poultry, it is particularly
important that the food is completely
cooked through. If in doubt, select a
longer cooking or reheating time.
~Do not use two pans on a cooking
zone at the same time.
~If the appliance is installed behind a
kitchen furniture door, it may only be
used with the furniture door open.
Only close the door when the appliance
is switched off and the residual heat
indicators have gone out.
~If the hob is built in over a pyrolitic
oven, the hob should not be used whilst
the pyrolitic process is being carried
out, as this could trigger the
overheating protection mechanism on
the hob (see relevant section).
~This appliance must not be set up or
operated in the open air.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.

Please stick the extra data plate for the
appliance supplied with this
documentation in the space provided in
the "After sales service, data plate"
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.
Do not use washing up liquid to
clean the ceramic surface as it can
leave a blue sheen which may be
difficult to remove.
Before using for the first time
When the induction hob is first
connected, and after a power cut, all of
the indicators in the display light up for
approx. 1 second for testing purposes.
The appliance can be used as soon as
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
17

The induction principle
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
display.
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
will switch off automatically after 3
minutes. 0and Cwill flash alternately in
the display.
To use the induction zone again, first
turn the control to "0".
Take particular care never to place
cutlery or other metal objects on the
hob. 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
18

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 when two
cooking zones are in use and the
bases of the pans are made of layers
of different materials and one of the
linked cooking zones is being
operated with its booster function.
– 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 hob 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.

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 hob, 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 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.
Make sure that you always place the
pan in the middle of the cooking
zone. If the pan only partially covers
the zone, the handle could become
very hot.
