Correct application
 This hob is intended for domestic use and use in other similar en-
vironments.
 This hob is not intended for outdoor use.
 It is intended for domestic use only to cook food and keep it
warm. Any other use is not supported by the manufacturer and could
be dangerous.
 People with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge who are not able to use the hob
safely on their own must be supervised whilst using it. They may
only use it unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it safely
and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect opera-
tion.

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 8 years and older may only use the hob unsupervised if
they have been shown how to use it in a safe way and can recognise
and understand the consequences of 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 stor-
age areas above or next to the hob. Otherwise they could be temp-
ted into climbing onto the appliance.
 Danger of burning or 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. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be
kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children
could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and
suffocate.
 Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the hob inadvertently.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.
 Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check
the hob for visible signs of damage.
 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 guarantee, repairs should only be under-
taken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the guar-
antee 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.
 If the plug is removed from the connection cable or if the cable is
supplied without a plug, the appliance must be connected to the
electrical supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
 If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a suit-
ably qualified electrician with a special connection cable of type H
05 VV-F (pvc insulated). 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 it from the mains electricity supply and contact Miele.
 If the hob is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a door), ensure
that the door is never closed whilst the hob is in use. Heat and mois-
ture can build up behind a closed furniture panel and cause sub-
sequent damage to the hob, the housing unit and the floor. Do not
close the door until the residual heat indicators have gone out.

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.
 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.
 Do not place hot pans on the display as this could cause damage
to the electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the area
around the display.
 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 oc-
cur, 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 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
 Induction heating works extremely quickly and so 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 hob unattended whilst it is
being used.
 Heat oil or fat for a maximum of one minute. Do not 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.
 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 or-
der to ensure sufficient ventilation of the hob. 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 dam-
age the fan or impair cooling.
 Do not use two pans on a cooking zone or extended zone at the
same time.
 If the pan only partially covers the cooking zone, the handle could
become very hot.
Ensure that you always place the pan in the middle of the cooking
zone.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 Where several CombiSets are installed side by side:
Hot objects can damage the seal of the cover strip between the ap-
pliances. Do not place hot pans near or on the cover strip.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
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 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 relev-
ant section).

Caring for the environment
14
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.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances of-
ten contain valuable materials. They
also contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be po-
tentially 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 it with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com-
munity waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Dealer for ad-
vice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal.

Using for the first time
20
Please stick the extra data plate for
the appliance supplied with this doc-
umentation in the space provided in
the "After sales service, data plate,
guarantee" section of this booklet.
Remove any protective wrapping and
stickers.
Cleaning the hob for the first
time
Before using for the first time, clean
the hob with a damp cloth only and
then wipe dry.
Switching on the hob for the
first time
When the hob is first connected, or
after an interruption to the power sup-
ply, all of the indicators in the display
will light up for approx. 1 second for
testing. As soon as they go out, the
hob is ready for use.
The metal components have a protect-
ive coating which may give off a slight
smell when heated up for the first time.
The induction coils may also give off a
slight smell for the first few hours of op-
eration. This smell will be less notice-
able with each subsequent use before
dissipating completely.
The smell and any vapours given off do
not indicate a faulty connection or ap-
pliance and they are not hazardous to
health.
Please note that the heating up time
on induction hobs is very much
shorter than on conventional hobs.
