Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Before installation, check the

~

appliance for visible signs of damage.
Do not install and use a damaged
appliance, it could be dangerous.

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
regularly tested, and where there is any
doubt, the household wiring system
should be inspected by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).

Before connecting the appliance,

~

make sure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.

Installation, maintenance and

~

repairs may only be carried out by a
Miele authorised person in strict
accordance with current national and
local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.

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 fuse is disconnected, or

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable), or

– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug is withdrawn from the
socket, or it is switched off at the
isolator.

If the hob is fitted with a

~

communication module this must be
disconnected from the electricity
supply during installation and
maintenance work and during any
repair work to the hob.

For safety reasons, this appliance

~

may only be used after it has been built
in.

Never open the housing of the

~

appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.

10

While the appliance is under

~

guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions

Faulty components must only be

~

replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.

If the connection cable is damaged,

~

it must be replaced by a suitably
qualified electrician with a specialist
connection cable of type H 05 VV-F
(pvc insulated), available from the Miele
Spare Parts Department.

Do not connect the appliance to the

~

mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).

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, and
disconnect it from the mains electricity
supply. Danger of electric shock.

In countries where there are areas

~

which may be subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage caused by cockroaches or
other vermin will not be covered by the
guarantee.

Correct use

For people fitted with a heart

~

pacemaker:
Please note that the area immediately
surrounding the hob is
electromagnetically charged. It is
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 magnetic fields, e.g.
credit cards, diskettes, pocket
calculators etc, do not leave them in the
immediate vicinity of the hob.

The appliance gets hot when in use

~

and remains hot for quite a while after
being switched off. There is a danger of
burning until the residual heat
indicators go out.

Do not leave the appliance

~

unattended whilst it is in use.
Pans that have boiled dry can cause
damage to the ceramic surface for
which the manufacturer cannot be held
liable.
Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause
a fire.

If, despite this, oil or fat does catch

~

fire, do not attempt to put out the flames
with water. Use a suitable fire blanket,
saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to
smother the flames.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

For added protection, it is advisable

~

to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance. Do
not let them get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the
material more quickly with the risk of
scalding or burning yourself.

Do not flambé under a cooker hood.

~

The flames could set the cooker hood
on fire.

Do not use the appliance as a

~

resting place for anything else.
Take particular care never to place
cutlery or other metal objects on the
appliance. When the appliance is
switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat
present, there is the risk of metal
objects heating up, with a danger of
burning.
Depending on the material, other
objects left on the hob could also melt
or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the
ceramic surface and be difficult to
dislodge.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.

Do not cover the appliance, e.g.

~

with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could
be a fire hazard if the appliance is
switched on by mistake.

Do not heat up unopened tins of

~

food on the hob, as pressure will build
up in the tin, causing it to explode. This
could result in injury and scalding or
damage.

Do not use pots and pans on the

~

ceramic hob with bases with
pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast
iron pans. These could scratch or scour
the hob surface permanently.

Never heat an empty pan unless the

~

manufacturer of the pan expressly
states that you can do so. Because
induction heating works extremely
quickly the base of the pan could heat
up to the temperature at which oil or fat
self-ignites within a very short time.

Keep the hob clean. Grains of salt,

~

sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning
vegetables) can cause scratches.

Never place hot pans on the area

~

around the controls. This could damage
the electronic unit underneath.

Do not drop anything on the ceramic

~

surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil

~

containers. These melt at high
temperatures, and could catch fire.

12

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not allow either solid or liquid

~

sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium
foil to get onto the cooking zones when
they are hot. If this should occur, switch
off the appliance, and carefully scrape
off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium
residues from the hob whilst they are
still hot, using a shielded scaper blade.
Take care not to burn yourself.
If residues are allowed to cool before
being removed, the ceramic surface
will be susceptible to pitting or even
cracking.
Once the residues have been removed,
allow the appliance to cool down, and
then clean with a suitable proprietary
ceramic hob cleaner.

When using an electric socket near

~

the hob, care should be taken that the
cable of the electrical appliance does
not come into contact with a hot
cooking zone. The insulation on the
cable could become damaged, giving
rise to an electric shock hazard.

This appliance 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 order to ensure
sufficient ventilation for 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 damage the
fan or impair cooling.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other

~

inflammable substances must not be
stored in a drawer under the hob.
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

Metal utensils stored in a drawer

~

under the hob can become hot if the
induction hob is used intensively for a
long time.

Always ensure that food is

~

sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Some foods may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking at a
sufficiently high temperature for long
enough. Therefore, when cooking or
reheating food such as poultry, it is
particularly important that the food is
completely cooked through. If in doubt,
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.

Do not use two pans on a

~

cooking/extended zone at the same
time.

If the hob is installed behind a

~

furniture door it may only be operated
with the door open. Do not close the
door whilst the hob is in use or whilst
there is any residual heat left in the
appliance.

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 relevant section).

The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

13

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material

The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be
recycled.

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.

Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly
could be potentially 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
community waste collection/recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

14

It should be unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply by a competent person.

Before using for the first time

Please stick the extra data plate for the
appliance supplied with this
documentation in the space provided in
the "After sales service, data plate"
section of this booklet.

Cleaning for the first time

Remove any protective wrapping and
adhesive labels.

Before using for the first time, clean the
appliance with a damp cloth only and
then wipe dry.

Do not use washing-up liquid to
clean the ceramic surface as it can
leave a blue sheen which may be
difficult to remove.

Before using for the first time

On hobs with bevelled glass edges,
a small gap may be visible between
the hob and the worktop during the
first few days after installation. This
gap will reduce with time as the
appliance is used and will not affect
the electrical safety of your
appliance.

When the appliance is used for the first
time, it may give off a slight smell. The
smell and any vapours will dissipate
after a short time. They are not harmful
and do not indicate a faulty connection
or appliance.

15

Before using for the first time

Calibrating the sensors

Automatic calibration

To ensure trouble free operation, the
sensors

need to be recalibrated after

–

installation and each time the
electricity supply fails, e.g. after a
power cut.
The safety lock indicator lamp lights
up during automatic calibration, and
the hob cannot be switched on.

adjust themselves constantly whilst

–

the hob is in use.

If automatic calibration is unsuccessful,
an A lights up in the cooking zone
display on the left and right at the front,
and an F lights up on the left at the
back. Numbers light up in the cooking
zone display on the right at the back
and in the Timer/Memory display.

If this is the case, recalibration will have
to be carried out manually.

Manual calibration

Make sure that there is no direct light

^

(from the sun or from an artificial
source) falling onto the hob. The area
surrounding the hob must not be too
dark, nor should the relationship
between light and shade be
constantly changing.

Make sure that there is nothing

^

covering the sensors or the hob.
Take any pans off the hob and wipe
away any food deposits.

Interrupt the power supply to the hob

^

for approx. 1 minute.

Reconnect the hob to the electricity
supply. The electronic unit will reset the
sensitivity levels of the sensors.

If this does not solve the problem,
please call the Miele Service
department.

16

Induction

The induction principle

An induction coil is located under each
cooking zone. When a cooking zone is
switched on, this coil creates a
magnetic field which impacts directly
on the base of the pan and heats it up.
The cooking zone itself is heated up
indirectly by the heat given off by the
pan.

An induction cooking zone only works
when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on
it (see "Pans").

Induction automatically recognises the
size of the pan, i.e. heat is only
generated in the area covered by the
base of the pan.

The cooking zone will not work:

– if it is switched on without a pan in

place, or if the pan is unsuitable
(non-magnetic base).

– if the diameter of the base of the pan

is too small.

If a suitable pan is placed on the
cooking zone within 3 minutes, the ß
will go out and you can continue as
normal.

If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed
on the cooking zone, the cooking zone
and the hob will switch off automatically
after 3 minutes.

Take particular care never to place
cutlery or other metal objects on the
hob. When the appliance is
switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual
heat present, there is the risk of
metal items heating up with the
danger of burning.
Switch the cooking zones off after
use.

–

if the pan is taken off the cooking
zone when it is switched on.

If this happens, ß will flash in the
relevant cooking zone display
alternating with 0 or the power setting
selected .

17

Induction

Noises

When using an induction cooking zone,
the following noises can occur in the
pan, depending on what it is made of
and how it has been constructed.

On the higher power settings, it

–

might buzz. This will decrease or
cease altogether when the power
setting is reduced.

If the pan base is made of layers of

–

different materials (e.g. in a
sandwiched base), it might emit a
cracking sound.

– Whistling might occur if linked zones

(see "Booster function") are being
used at the same time, and the pans
also have bases made of layers of
different materials.

– You might hear a clicking sound from

the electronic switches, especially on
lower settings.

The appliance has a cooling fan to help
extend the life of the electronics. When
the hob is being used intensively, this
will come on and you will hear a
whirring sound. The fan may continue
to run after the appliance has been
switched off.

18

Pans

Suitable pans include:

stainless steel pans with a magnetic

–

base

enamelled steel pans

–

cast iron pans

–

Unsuitable pans:

stainless steel pans without a

–

magnetic base

aluminium and copper pans

–

– glass, ceramic or earthenware pots

and pans

To test whether a pot or pan is suitable
for use on an induction hob, hold a
magnet to the base of the pan. If the
magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.

Induction

Make sure that you always place the
pan in the middle of the cooking
zone. If the pan only partially covers
the zone, the handle could become
very hot.

Tips on saving energy

Use a lid whenever possible to
minimise heat loss.

Please be aware that the properties of
the pan base can affect the eveness
with which food heats up in the pan.

To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with base
diameters larger than the innermost
markings but smaller than the
outermost markings. If the base
diameter of the pan is smaller than the
innermost marking, the induction
heating will not work. The zone will
behave as if it had no pan on it.

Please note that the maximum diameter
quoted by manufacturers often refers to
the diameter of the top rim of the pot or
pan. The diameter of the base
(generally smaller) is more important.

Use

Sensor switches

This hob is equipped with electronic
sensor switches which react to finger
contact.
To operate a cooking zone, touch the
relevant sensor. Each time you touch a
sensor switch, an audible tone sounds.

Take care only to touch the middle
of the sensor required. Keep the
control panel clean, and do not
place anything on top of it. The
sensors may fail to react or they
could mistake the article or any dirt
for a fingertip contact, thereby
activating a function or even causing
the hob to switch off automatically
(see Safety switch-off.)
Never place hot pans on the sensor
switches. The electronic unit
underneath could get damaged.

Switching on

The hob must be switched on before
any of the zones can be used.

Do not leave the appliance
unattended whilst it is being used.

To switch the hob on

Touch the ON/OFF sensor s.

^

0 appears in each of the cooking zone
displays. 00 appears in the
Timer/Memory display. If no further
entry is made, the hob will switch itself
off after a few seconds for safety
reasons.

To switch a cooking zone on

^ Select a power setting between 1 and

12 or the keeping warm function by

touching the - or + sensor.

To select cooking with Auto heat-up,
press the - sensor first (see "Auto
heat-up"). To select cooking without
Auto heat-up, press the + sensor first.

If you wish to switch on another
cooking zone, and the 0 for that zone
has already gone out, simply press the

- or + briefly. The 0 will reappear and
you can select a power setting (with or
without Auto heat-up).
