damage caused by incorrect
installation or connection.
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system which
complies with current 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).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Warning and Safety instructions
7

Never open the casing of the
appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components is highly dangerous to
the user and can cause operational
faults.
On hobs with bevelled glass edges
a small gap may be visible
between the hob 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.
Correct usage
For safety reasons this appliance
must only be operated after it has
been built in. This is necessary to
ensure that all electrical components
are shielded.
This appliance is intended for
domestic use only and is not to be
used for commercial purposes.
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).
Use this appliance for the
preparation of food only. Any other
usage is at the owner's risk and could
be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damage
resulting from incorrect or improper use
or operation.
Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children
Use the safety lock to prevent
children operating the appliance or
altering the settings.
The appliance is only intended for
use by adults who have read these
instructions.
This appliance is not a toy! To
avoid the risk of injury, keep
children well away, and do not allow
them to play with it or use the controls.
They will not understand the potential
dangers posed by it. They should be
supervised whenever you are working
in the kitchen.
Older children may use the
appliance only when its operation
has been clearly explained to them and
they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
The appliance gets hot when in
use and remains hot for quite a
while after being switched off. To
safeguard against burning, keep
children well away from the appliance
at all times.
Do not store anything which might
arouse a child's interest in storage
areas above or next to the appliance.
Otherwise they could be tempted into
climbing onto the appliance with the
risk of burning themselves.
Keep all pans out of reach of
children. Turn pan handles inwards
away from the edge of the hob. Danger
of burning or scalding. Special hob
guards are available from good retail
outlets.
Packaging, e.g. cling film,
polystyrene and plastic wrappings,
must be kept out of the reach of babies
and young children. Danger of
suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all
packaging safely as soon as possible.
Old appliances must be
disconnected from the power
supply, any plug rendered useless and
the cable cut off directly behind the
appliance to prevent misuse. This
should be done by a competent
person.
Warning and Safety instructions

Protecting the appliance from
damage
Do not drop anything on the
ceramic surface. Even a light
object could cause damage in certain
circumstances.
Do not use pots or pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with
pronounced edges or or ridges, e.g.
cast iron pans. These could scratch or
scour the hob surface permanently.
Grains of salt and sand can also
scratch.
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 scaper blade. Take care not to
burn yourself.
If residues are allowed to cool before
being removed, the ceramic surface
will be susceptible to pitting or even
cracking.
Clean the appliance once it has cooled
down.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean this appliance. The steam
could attack the electrical components
and cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could cause permanent damage
to the surface and to other
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Never place hot pans near the
control area. This could damage
the electronic unit underneath.
This hob 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 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.
In countries where there are 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
guarantee.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

Protection from burning and
scalding
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.
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.
Do not heat up unopened tins of
food on the hob, as pressure will
build up in the tin and it can explode.
This could result in injury and scalding
or damage.
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
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 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.
Do not cover the appliance, e.g.
with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This
could be a fire hazard if the appliance
is switched on by mistake.
Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil
or fat as these are fire hazards if
overheated. Very hot oil can catch fire
and could even set a cooker hood
above on fire. Always heat fat slowly,
watching as it heats.
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.
Do not flambé under a cooker
hood. The flames could set the
cooker hood on fire.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

Appliance faults
In the event of damage or a defect,
switch off the appliance immedi-
ately. Disconnect completely from the
electricity supply. If the appliance has
not yet been fully installed, the
electricity cable must be disconnected
from the supply point. If connected via
a plug and socket, switch off at the
socket and withdraw the plug. Contact
the Miele Service Department.
Do not reconnect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply until after it has
been repaired.
If there is any damage to the
ceramic surface, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains
electricity supply immediately, and not
used until it has been repaired. Danger
of electric shock.
Repairs may only be carried out by
a suitably qualified and competent
person. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be very
dangerous and could damage the
appliance. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for unauthorised work. Never
open the housing of the appliance.
While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service engineer
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
Warning and Safety instructions

Futher safety notes
For people fitted with a heart
pacemaker:
Please note that the area immediately
surrounding the hob is
electromagnetically charged, and that
this could affect a pacemaker.
If in any doubt, consult the
manufacturer of the pacemaker or your
doctor.
Ensure pans are placed centrally
over the cooking zone to prevent
unnecessary exposure to the
electromagnetic field.
When using an electric socket near
the appliance, care should be
taken that the cable of the electrical
appliance does not come into contact
with the hot appliance. The insulation
on the cable could become damaged,
giving rise to an electric shock hazard.
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall
cooking time, including the size and
amount of food and its temperature.
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 the food is
completely cooked through. If in doubt,
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high
temperatures and could damage the
ceramic surface. Fire hazard.
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.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other
inflammable substances must not
be stored in a drawer under the hob.
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

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.
Packaging, e.g. cling film, polystyrene
and plastic wrappings, must be kept
out of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation.
Dispose of or recycle all packaging
materials safely as soon as possible.
Disposal 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.
Please do not therefore dispose of your
old 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 it to
prevent misuse. See the "Warning and
Safety" section of this booklet for further
details.

General notes
Your appliance has a "programming"
function which you can use to
customise the appliance to your
particular requirements (see
"Programming").
Cleaning for the first time
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.
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 will
dissipate after a short time, and do not
indicate a faulty connection or
appliance.
Before using for the first time
15

Calibrating the sensor
switches
Automatic calibration
To ensure trouble free operation, the
sensors
–need to be recalibrated after
installation and each time the
electricity supply fails, e.g. after a
power cut.
The safety lock indicator lamp lights
up during automatic calibration, and
the hob cannot be switched on.
– adjust themselves constantly whilst
the hob is in use.
If automatic calibration is unsuccessful,
an Alights up in the cooking zone
display on the left and right at the front,
and an Flights up on the left at the
back. Numbers light up in the cooking
zone display on the right at the back
and in the Timer/Memory display.
If this happens, recalibration will have
to be carried out manually.
Manual calibration
^Make sure that there is no direct light
(from the sun or from an artificial
source) falling onto the hob. The area
surrounding the hob must not be too
dark, nor should the relationship
between light and shade be
constantly changing.
^Make sure that there is nothing
covering the sensors or the hob. Take
any pans off the hob and wipe away
any food deposits.
^Interrupt the power supply to the hob
for approx. 1 minute.
Reconnect the hob to the electricity
supply. The electronic unit will reset the
sensitivity levels of the sensors.
If this does not solve the problem,
please call the Miele Service
department.
Before using for the first time
16

How it 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.
Induction cooking zones only work
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 0or the last power
setting selected .
If a suitable pan is placed on the
cooking zone within 3 minutes, the ß
will 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 hob will switch off automatically
after 3 minutes.
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 objects heating up, with a
danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other
objects left on the hob could also
melt or catch fire. Switch the 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 on the highest setting 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 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.
Unless the pan manufacturer states
that you can do so, do not use pans
with very thin bases on this hob, and
never heat up empty pans as they
could get damaged. This could also
damage the appliance.
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.
Tips on saving energy
Use a pan lid whenever possible to
minimise heat loss.

Sensor switches
This hob is equipped with electronic
sensor switches which react to finger
contact.
To operate a cooking zone, touch the
relevant sensor switch. Each time you
touch a sensor switch, an audible tone
sounds.
Take care only to touch the middle of
the sensor required. Keep the
control panel clean, and do not
place anything on top of it. The
sensors 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 hob to switch off automatically
