Warning and Safety Instructions
This appliance complies with all rele-
vant legal safety requirements. Im-
proper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both per-
sonal injury and material damage.
Before installation and before using
the appliance for the first time read
the operating instructions carefully.
They give information on safety, on
the operation and care of the ap-
pliance. This way you will avoid the
risk of accidents and damage to the
appliance.
The appliance is intended for do-
mestic use.
Should it be installed for commercial
use the relevant regulations must be ob-
served.
For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be operated as a built-in
appliance. This is necessary to ensure
that all electric components are
shielded.
The electrical safety of the ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
regulary tested by a qualified electri-
cian. The manufacturer can not be held
responsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system.
Installation work and repairs may only
be carried out by suitably qualified and
competent persons to ensure safety.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the ap-
pliance.
Please ensure that the domestic
supply corresponds to the informa-
tion on the machine’s data plate.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when it is switched off at the wall
socket, or the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Do not pull by the mains cable, but by
the plug when withdrawing the plug
from the socket.
The distance between the hob and
a cooker hood should be at least:
55 cm for electric hobs.
Australia: 60 cm!
To avoid the danger of fire do not
flambe under a cooker hood.
Do not let small children touch the
appliance during operation. Not
only do the cooking areas of the ce-
ramic hob heat up, but also the control
panel. Danger of burning. Keep all
pans out of the reach of children.
Supervise use of the hob by the elderly
or infirm.
Warning and Safety Instructions
6

Warning and Safety Instructions
Do not leave the appliance unat-
tended when cooking with oils and
fats as these are fire hazards if over-
heated.
When switched on, the cooking
areas heat up extremely quickly.
The residual heat indicators will show
whether a cooking area is switched on,
or is still hot.
Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall cook-
ing time, including the size and amount
of food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cook-
ing container.
Some foods may contain micro organ-
isms which are only destroyed by
thorough cooking, therefore when cook-
ing or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is
par-ticulary important that the food is
fully cooked through. If in doubt select
a longer cooking or reheating time.
It is essential to ensure that food
has been evenly and sufficiently
heated, and to check that it is thor-
oughly cooked, turning or stirring dur-
ing cooking if necessary.
In the event of any breakages or
cracks occuring in the ceramic
hob it must be switched off immediately
and disconnected from the electricity
supply.
Contact the Miele Service Department.
Do not use the hob until the damaged
ceramic plate has been replaced. Con-
tinued use would be dangerous as
liquids etc. boiling over could penetrate
the electrical components through the
crack.
When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the ce-
ramic hob ensure that the cable cannot
touch a heated hob or pan.
Do not use the control panel as a
resting place for pots and pans.
Do not use the ceramic hob to
heat up the room.
The high temperatures of the hob could
cause inflammable objects in the vi-
cinity to burn.
Only for Halogen hobs
Do not stare at halogen cooking
areas when heating if there is no pan in
place.
This could cause damage to the eyes.
Do not use the hob as a resting
place for anything else. This could
lead to a danger of the article catching
fire, if the hob were to be switched on
inadvertently.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers.
These melt at higher temperatures and
could damage the ceramic surface.
Warning and Safety Instructions
7

Warning and Safety Instructions
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar or pieces of plastic or alumi-
nium foil to get onto the ceramic hob
when it is hot.
If this should occur do not switch the
appliance off. Scrape all the sugar,
plastic, or aluminium remains from the
hob with a sharp blade taking care not
to burn yourself.
If this is allowed to cool before the hob
has been cleaned, the ceramic surface
will be susceptible to pitting or even
cracking.
Do not use any pots or pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with pro-
nounced edges or ridges.
These could scratch or scour the hob
surface permanently.
Do not push enamelled pots or
pans such as chip pans across the
ceramic hob as this can cause scrat-
ches to occur.
Do not drop anything on the ce-
ramic hob.
Dropping a salt cellar, for example,
could be the cause of damage in cer-
tain circumstances.
If no wooden protective board (see
p. 19) is fitted between the hob
and a drawer underneath, spray canis-
ters or inflammable substances must
not be stored in the drawer. Any cut-
lery trays must be made of a heat resis-
tant material.
Under no circumstances use a
steam-cleaning appliance to clean
the ceramic hob. The steam could
penetrate to live components and
cause a short circuit.
In countries which may be subject
to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its surround-
ings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any future
user.
Disposal of discarded appliances
Before disposal of an old ap-
pliance, turn off at the mains, dis-
connect and remove the appliance
cable at both ends and render useless.
This is intended to prevent the dis-
carded appliance from being a hazard.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by non-
compliance with safety instructions.
Warning and Safety Instructions

Before using for the first time
Read the ”Warning and Safety in-
structions“ before using for the first
time.
Thoroughly clean the ceramic hob be-
fore use and then clean regularly after
use when just warm to the touch or
cold (see ”Cleaning and care“).
There might be a slight smell on first
use due to drying effect of the insula-
tion material.
Before using for the first time

Hob controls
All cooking areas are controlled by
variable energy regulators. By using
these energy regulators, the tempera-
ture can be freely selected.
The controls can be turned either clock-
wise or anti-clockwise.
The indicator light for each cooking
area comes on as soon as the respec-
tive energy regulator is turned to a set-
ting.
It goes out when the energy regulator is
turned to the ”0“ position.
A resistance is felt between settings 7
and 8 to indicate that a higher tempera-
ture range is being reached.
Correct procedure:
Place saucepan of food on cooking
area.
Select a high number for boiling or
sealing in juices.
Should a trace of steam become
visible on the edge of the lid, switch
to a lower number for continued
cooking.
Turning the temperature down at the
right time . . .
. . . prevents food from overcooking.
. . . prevents food from burning.
. . . saves energy.

Cooking areas - Description
Cooking areas - diameter
The cooking areas are clearly marked
on the hob unit. Only the particular
area which has been switched on will
be heated. The rest of the hob surface
remains relatively cool.
Residual heat indicator
Each cooking area has a residual heat
indicator. When a cooking area is
switched on its residual heat indicator
lights up. It only goes out after the cook-
ing area has been switched off and this
area of the ceramic surface has
reached a temperature safe to the
touch.
Temperature limiter
All cooking areas are fitted with a tem-
perature limiter, which switches the
heating element off if the temperature
under the ceramic surface is too high.
The temperature limiter switches the
heating element on again after the tem-
perature has returned to a safe level for
the ceramic material.
The temperature limiter mainly reacts
. . . when unsuitable cooking utensils
are used e.g. saucepans with uneven
bases or which are too small.
. . . when cooking areas are used with-
out a saucepan.
The temperature limiter can also be
activated . . .
. . . even when the utensils are suitable.
The reason for this could be light col-
oured saucepan bases (heat reflec-
tion), bad transfer of heat from sauce-
pan base to foodstuff (saucepans with
bases which store heat) etc.
Important note
Whilst the ceramic cooking areas are
heating up, a ”humming“ noise may
be noticed. This is caused by magneti-
zation of the heating filaments. As the
cooking areas heat up, the humming
noise diminishes and finally ceases
altogether.
For halogen cooking areas only:
The radiant elements work together
with the halogen lamps. This gives a
quicker heat transfer to the pan base,
resulting in a shorter heating-up period.
Cooking areas - Description
12

Cooking areas - Use
Saucepans
The following notes are designed to
enable you to
. . . make the best use of energy when
using your ceramic hob.
. . . prevent food boiling over and burn-
ing on to the ceramic hob.
Saucepans are available which have
been specially tested for use on a
glass ceramic hob unit.
Saucepan bases
So that optimum energy consumption
is achieved during cooking, only sauce-
pans with bases as flat as possible, or
very slightly concave, should be used.
When the saucepan is hot, the base
should rest evenly on the ceramic sur-
face.
Only use saucepans approved for
use on ceramic hobs. Do not use
pots or pans on the ceramic hob
with bases with pronounced edges
or ridges.
These could scratch or scour the
hob surface permanently.
Saucepan size
The diameter of the saucepan should
be a little larger than that of the cooking
area.
Saucepan lids
A lid on the saucepan will prevent heat
from being lost.
Cooking areas - Use
13

Cooking areas - Use
Note:
Do not use any pots or pans on the
ceramic hobs with bases with pro-
nounced edges or ridges. These
could scratch or scour the hob sur-
face permanently.
Place a saucepan on the cooking
area before switching on the ap-
pliance to save energy.
The ceramic surface and the base of
the saucepan should be clean and
dry.
This saves unnecessary cleaning
after cooking and protects the cook-
ing area.
Care should be taken that no sand-
like grains are on the hob when cook-
ing is to begin.
If such grains should find their way
under the saucepan when it is
pushed across the hob, the grains
could cause scratches on the sur-
face.
Do not push enamelled baking
sheets, frying pans and saucepans
to and fro across the ceramic sur-
face.
Otherwise scratches may occur.
When using aluminium or stainless
steel utensils, the metal can affect
the ceramic surface by leaving
mother-of-pearl coloured flecks be-
hind.
These marks can be removed most
easily if they are treated immediately
they appear with a special proprie-
tary cleaning agent (see chapter
”Cleaning and Care“).
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar or pieces of plastic or alumi-
nium foil to get onto the ceramic hob
unit when it is hot.
If this should occur do not switch the
appliance off. Scrape all the sugar,
plastic or aluminium remains from
the hob with a sharp blade taking
care not to burn yourself.
If this is allowed to cool before the hob
has been cleaned, the ceramic sur-
face will be susceptible to pitting or
even cracking.

Cleaning and care
Ceramic hob
Basically you can use the same clean-
ing agents for the ceramic hob as you
would for ordinary glass surfaces.
Never use scouring agents or pads,
or strong cleaners such as oven
sprays or stain removers, as these
could harm the surface.
Clean after each use
Wipe off any minor spills with just a
damp cloth.
If the hob is cleaned with a proprietary
cleaner, for example washing up liquid,
light blue staining might occur. These
stains can be removed with one of the
proprietary agents mentioned, although
they can be stubborn, and may take
several applications.
Hardened spills should be carefully
scraped off with a sharp blade. The
hob surface should then be rubbed
clean with a damp cloth.
Light marks with a metallic sheen
(Aluminium deposits) on the hob sur-
face can be removed once the hob has
cooled down by using a suitable pro-
prietary cleaner.
Lime deposits on the ceramic surface,
caused for example by water boiling
over, can be removed with vinegar or a
proprietary ceramic hob cleaner.
Removal of sugar, or syrups, plastic
or aluminium foil
On no account turn off the cooking
area affected.
Scrape off the sugar or other
residue thoroughly from the hot hob
with a sharp blade taking care not
to burn yourself. Then switch off the
hob, and when it is cool, clean with
a recommended cleaner.
Suitable proprietary cleaners
There are proprietary cleaners on the
market for ceramic hobs. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not apply to the hob when still
hot.
After applying the proprietary cleaning
agent let it dry and then rub it off using
paper kitchen towels.
Always make sure that every trace of
cleaning agent has been removed, as it
could have an adverse effect on the
hob when heated up. Remove using a
damp cloth.
Some cleaners incorporate a silicone
agent which acts as a protective film on
the ceramic hob.
It makes the hob surface smoother and
prevents water and soiling adhering to
the surface.
However, cooking at high temperatures
reduces the effect and the cleaner
needs to be reapplied for renewed
effect.
Cleaning and care
15

Cleaning and care
By always cleaning your ceramic hob
with one of these cleaning agents you
will help to avoid the damage caused
by sugar and syrups and aluminium foil
deposits.
Facia panel / Control knobs
Do not use any scouring agents or
pads on the knobs or facia, as
these could cause damage.
Clean the hob controls and the facia
panel with hot water and a little wash-
ing up liquid.
After application rub dry with a clean
cloth.
Cleaning and care
16

Correcting minor faults
Repairs to electrical appliances
should only ever be carried out by a
competent person. Unauthorised
repairs can be dangerous.
Some minor problems, however, can
be dealt with as follows:
What to do if . . .
. . . a humming sound is heard while
the ceramic hob is heating up?
This is not a fault. As the cooking
areas heat up, the humming disap-
pears completely.
. . . a resistance is felt between set-
tings 7 and 8?
This is not a fault. The resistance is
there to indicate that a higher tempera-
ture range is being reached.
. . . the cooking area does not get hot
when switched on and the cooking
area indicator light does not come
on?
Check that the mains fuse is in order.
If it is call the Customer Service
Department for assistance.
