Technical safety
 Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical
appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service
technician.
 A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check it for any visible
damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
 Reliable and safe operation of this cooktop can only be assured if
it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 The cooktop must not be connected to the inverter of an
autonomous power supply, e.g. a solar power system. When the
cooktop is switched on, power surges could result in a safety
switch-off. This may damage the electronic unit.
 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It
is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and
tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring
system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
 Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)
matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in
order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance.
 Do not connect the cooktop 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 cooktop may only be used after it has
been built in.
 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 Never open the casing of the cooktop.
Touching or tampering with electrical connections or components
and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
 The cooktop is not intended for use with an external timer switch
or a remote control system.
 The cooktop 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").
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
 Danger of electric shock!
Do not use the cooktop or switch it off immediately if it is faulty, or if
the ceramic surface is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way.
Disconnect the cooktop from the mains electricity supply. Contact
Miele.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 If the cooktop is installed behind a furniture door, do not close the
door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build
up behind the closed door. This can result in damage to the cooktop,
the housing unit and the floor. Do not close the door until the
residual heat indicators have gone 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
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
 DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
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 extractor in the same
room or the same area of the house as another heating appliance
that depends on the air from the room.
Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct
exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. They
include gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and heaters,
continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooktops and ovens.
The extractor draws in air from the kitchen and from neighbouring
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.
This could have potentially fatal consequences!

Warning and Safety instructions
12
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 extractor and the heater are both operated simultaneously, an
underpressure in the room of 4Pa (0.04mbar) 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 (registered with an official gas safety
body in accordance with national safety regulations) must be
sought.
If the extractor is being operated in recirculation mode, where the
air is directed back into the room in which it is located, operating a
heating appliance which depends on the room air at the same time
is not hazardous.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Correct use
 The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
after being 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 cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite, do not
attempt to put the flames out with water.
Switch off the cooktop and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid,
damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
 Open flames are a fire hazard!
Do not flambé food. When switched on, the extractor 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 cooktop. 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 cooktop, as pressure can build up in the containers, causing
them to explode.
 Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth or
protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the
cooktop is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
 When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of
any metal items left on the cooktop heating up, with the danger of
burning. Depending on the material, other items left on the cooktop
could also melt or catch fire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the
ceramic surface and be difficult to dislodge. Do not use the
appliance as a resting place. Switch the cooking zones off after use
and do not rely on the pan detector.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
 You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. 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
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.
 Hot cooking vapours during cooking can cause the extractor to
get hot.
Do not touch the casing or the grease filters until the extractor has
cooled down.
 When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food mixer,
near the cooktop, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance
cannot come into contact with the hot cooktop. 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
indicators.
 Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium
foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are 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.
Wear oven gloves. Allow the cooking zones to cool down and clean
them with a suitable ceramic cooktop cleaning agent.
 Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
not leave the cooktop unattended whilst it is being used.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
 Only use pots and pans with smooth bases. Rough bases will
scratch the ceramic glass.
 Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
 Induction heating works extremely quickly. Therefore, the base of
the pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-
ignites within a very short time. Do not leave the cooktop unattended
whilst it is being used.
 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 cooktop 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
electromagnetic fields, e.g. credit cards, digital storage devices,
pocket calculators, etc., do not leave them in the immediate vicinity
of the cooktop.
 Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the cooktop 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 cooktop.
 This cooktop is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted
directly underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient space
between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the
appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation of the cooktop. 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.
 Never use two pans on a cooking zone, extended zone or
PowerFlex zone at the same time.

Warning and Safety instructions
16
 If the cookware only partially covers a cooking zone or extended
zone, the handle could become very hot.
Always place cookware in the middle of a cooking zone or extended
zone!
 Deposits of grease and dirt will prevent the extractor from
working properly.
Do not use the extractor without the grease filters in place.
Otherwise 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 extractor when in use.
 Liquids can damage the extractor if they get into it. Keep liquids
away from the extractor.
 Light objects can be drawn into the extractor and impair its
operation. Do not place any light objects (e.g. paper towels) within
close proximity of the extractor.
 The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking
process has to be supervised continuously.

Warning and Safety instructions
17
Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
Accessories
 Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be
invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Caring for the environment
18
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human 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
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.
