quirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal in-
jury and material damage.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before
using the hob. They contain important information on safety, in-
stallation, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury
and damage to the hob.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the hob as well as the safety instructions and
warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.

Warning and Safety instructions
6
Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the hob
unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children over 8years of age may use the hob without supervision
if its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able
to use it safely. Children must be able to understand and recognise
the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean the hob unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the hob and do not let
them play with it.
 The hob gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after be-
ing switched off. Keep children well away from the hob until it has
cooled down and there is no danger of burning.
 Danger of burning! Do not store anything which might arouse a
child's interest in storage areas above or behind the hob. Otherwise
they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk
of burning themselves.
 Risk of burning and scalding. Place pots and pans on the cooking
zone in such a way that children cannot pull them down and burn
themselves.
 Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children may become en-
tangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it
over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material
away from children.
 Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the hob inadvertently. Use the safety lock when the hob is in use to
prevent children from altering the settings selected.

Warning and Safety instructions
7
Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re-
pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
 Damage to the hob can compromise your safety. Check the hob
for visible signs of damage. Do not use the hob if it is damaged.
 Reliable and safe operation of this hob can only be assured if it
has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 The electrical safety of this hob can only be guaranteed when cor-
rectly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is
met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a
qualified electrician.
 To avoid the risk of damage to the hob, make sure that the con-
nection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the
mains electricity supply before connecting it to the mains.
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
 Do not connect the hob to the mains electrical supply by a multi-
socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not
guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
 For safety reasons, this hob may only be used after it has been
built in.
 This hob must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
 Never open the casing of the hob.
Touching or tampering with electrical connections or components
and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
 While the hob is under warranty, repairs should only be under-
taken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the war-
ranty is invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
 The hob is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a
remote control system.
 The hob must be connected to the electricity supply by a qualified
electrician (see “Electrical connection”).
 If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special connection cable by an electrician (see “Electrical
connection”).
 The hob 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 un-
til any maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
 Danger of electric shock. Do not use the hob if it is faulty, or if the
ceramic surface is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Switch
it off immediately. Disconnect the hob from the mains electricity sup-
ply. Contact Miele Service.
 If the hob is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the door
while the hob is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the
closed door. This can result in damage to the hob, the housing unit
and the floor. Do not close the door until the residual heat indicators
go out.
 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 cock-
roaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
Correct use
 The hob gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after be-
ing switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat
indicators go out.
 Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the hob unat-
tended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not attempt
to put the flames out with water.
Disconnect the hob from the mains and use a suitable fire blanket,
saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
 Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used. It should
be continually monitored whilst boiling and flash frying.
 Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do
not flambé under a cooker hood.
 Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
 Do not heat an empty pan.
 Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the hob, as pressure can build up in the container, causing it to
explode.
 Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective
foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the hob is
switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
 When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mis-
take, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of any
metal items left on the hob heating up, with the danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other items left on the hob could also
melt or catch fire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic sur-
face and be difficult to dislodge. Do not use the appliance as a rest-
ing place. Switch the cooking zones off after use.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 You could burn yourself on the hot hob. 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 trans-
fer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.
 When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food blender,
near the hob, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot
come into contact with the hot hob. The insulation on the cable
could become damaged.
 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 can cause damage in certain circumstances.
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
 Placing hot pans on the sensors and indicators could damage the
electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the sensors or in-
dicators.
 Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium
foil to get onto the hob when it is 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 whilst still hot, using a shielded scraper blade suitable for
use on glass. Wear oven gloves when doing this. Allow the ceramic
surface to cool down and then clean it with a suitable ceramic hob
cleaning agent.
 Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used.
 Only use pots and pans with smooth bases. Rough bases will
scratch the ceramic glass.
 Lift pans into position on the hob. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 Because induction heating works so quickly, the base of the pan
could, under certain circumstances, heat up to the temperature at
which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time. Never leave the
hob unattended during use!
 Heat oil or fat for a maximum of one minute. Never use the
Booster function to heat oil or fat.
 For people fitted with a heart pacemaker: Please note that the
area immediately surrounding the hob is electromagnetically
charged. It is very 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 electromag-
netic fields, e.g. credit cards, digital storage devices, pocket calcu-
lators, etc, do not leave them in the immediate vicinity of the hob.
 Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the hob can become hot if
the appliance is used intensively for a long time.
 The hob is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly un-
derneath the hob, ensure that there is sufficient space between the
drawer and its contents and the underside of the hob in order to en-
sure sufficient ventilation for the hob. Do not store pointed or small
items or paper in the drawer. They could get in through the ventila-
tion slots or be sucked into the casing by the fan and damage the
fan or impair cooling.
 Never use two pans on a cooking zone, extended zone or Power-
Flex zone at the same time.
 If the cookware only partially covers a cooking or extended zone,
the handle could become very hot.
Always place cookware in the middle of a cooking or extended zone!

Warning and Safety instructions
12
Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this hob.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
 If the hob is built in over a pyrolytic oven, the hob should not be
used whilst the pyrolytic process is being carried out, as this could
trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the hob (see relev-
ant section).

Caring for the environment
13
Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur-
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances of-
ten contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, com-
pounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and
safety. These could be hazardous to hu-
man health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com-
munity waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic ap-
pliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also respons-
ible for deleting any personal data that
may be stored on the appliance being
disposed of. Please ensure that your
old appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.
