Warning and Safety instructions
8
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 hob must not be connected to the inverter of an autonomous
power supply such as e.g. a solar power system. When the hob is
switched on, power surges could result in a safety switch-off. This
could damage the electronic module.
 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).

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 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.
 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. Discon-
nect the hob from the mains electricity supply. Contact Miele Ser-
vice.
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air
from the room
Danger of toxic fumes!
Great care should be taken when using the cooker hood in the
same room or the same area of the house as another heating ap-
pliance that depends on the air from the room.
Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct ex-
haust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. They in-
clude gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and heaters, continuous
flow or other water heaters, gas hobs and ovens.
The cooker hood draws in air from the kitchen and from neigh-
bouring rooms. This applies to the following modes of operation:
- extraction mode,
- recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the
room.
If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating
appliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn from the chimney or extraction
ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.
Risk of death!

Warning and Safety instructions
11
In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by
the heating appliance from being drawn back into the room, when
the cooker hood and the heater are both operated simultaneously,
an underpressure in the room of 0.04mbar (4Pa) is the maximum
permissible.
Sufficient ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot
be blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents. The
diameter of the inlet openings must enable sufficient ventilation. A
ventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient to ensure safe
ventilation.
The overall ventilation condition of the dwelling must be taken into
account. If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder, or for
gas, a qualified gas fitter should be sought.
If the cooker hood is being operated in recirculation mode, where
the air is passed back into the room in which the extractor is in-
stalled, the above restrictions do not apply.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
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.
 Open flames are a fire hazard!
Do not flambé food. When switched on, the cooker hood could draw
flames into the filter. Kitchen grease deposits could ignite.
 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
13
 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.
 Hot cooking vapours during cooking can cause the cooker hood
to get hot.
Do not touch the casing or the grease filters until the cooker hood
has cooled down.
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
 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.
 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. Do not store any
metal items or utensils in a drawer under the hob.
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
 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!
 Deposits of grease and dirt will prevent the cooker hood from
working properly.
Do not use the cooker hood without the grease filters in place. Oth-
erwise cooking vapours will not be cleaned.
 There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out as described in
these operating instructions.
 Do not cover the intake grille on the cooker hood when in use.
 Liquids can damage the cooker hood if they get into it. Keep li-
quids away from the cooker hood.
 Light objects can be drawn into the cooker hood and impair its
operation. Do not place any light objects (e.g. paper towels) within
close proximity of the cooker hood.

Warning and Safety instructions
16
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).
Accessories
 Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu-
facturers will invalidate the warranty and Miele cannot accept liabil-
ity.

Caring for the environment
17
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 (by law, depending on country) for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance being disposed
of. Please ensure that your old appli-
ance poses no risk to children while be-
ing stored prior to disposal.
