12

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Before installation, check the hob for

~

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

The electrical safety of this hob can

~

only be guaranteed if correctly earthed.
It is most important that this basic
safety requirement is observed and
regularly tested, and where there is any
doubt, the electrical system in the
house should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. Miele cannot be
held liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).

Before connecting the hob, make

~

sure that the connection data on the
data plate (voltage and frequency)
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.

For safety reasons, this hob may

~

only be used after it has been built in.

Do not open the casing of the hob.

~

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

Installation, maintenance and

~

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

During installation, maintenance and

~

repair work, the hob must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply.
Ensure that power is not supplied to the
appliance until after it has been
installed or until after any maintenance
or repair work has been carried out.

If the hob is fitted with a

~

communication module, in addition to
disconnecting the hob, this module
must also be disconnected from the
mains electricity during installation and
maintenance of the hob as well as while
any repair work is being carried out.
Ensure that power is not supplied to the
hob or the communication module until
the hob has been installed or until after
any maintenance or repair work has
been carried out.

While the hob is under guarantee,

~

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

13

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 hob 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 V V-F
(pvc insulated), available from Miele.

Do not connect the hob to the mains

~

electricity supply by a multi-socket
adapter 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 areas which may be subject to

~

infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the hob 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

The hob 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 hob unattended

~

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

If 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.

Do not use the hob to heat up the

~

room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire. The life of the
appliance could also be reduced.

The control panel and the hob frame

~

or hob edges (on hobs with bevelled
edges) can become hot due to the
influence of the following factors:
operating duration, high power level(s),
large pans and the number of cooking
zones being used.

14

Use heat-resistant pot holders or

~

gloves when using the hob. 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not flambé under a cooker hood.

~

The flames could set the cooker hood
on fire.

Do not use the hob as a resting

~

place for anything. 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 hob, e. g. with a

~

hob cover, a cloth or protective foil.
This could present a fire hazard if the
appliance is switched on by mistake or
it is still warm.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil

~

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

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.

Aluminium pans or pans with an

~

aluminium base can cause metallic,
shiny marks to appear on the ceramic
surface. These marks can be removed

using a ceramic and stainless steel hob
cleaner (see "Cleaning and care").

Never heat an empty pan unless the

~

manufacturer of the pan expressly
states that you can do so. This could
damage the hob.

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. The electronic unit
underneath could get damaged.

Do not drop anything on the ceramic

~

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

To prevent the risk of spillages etc.

~

burning on, remove any soiling as
quickly as possible and ensure that pan
bases are clean, dry and free of
grease.

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 hob, and carefully scrape off all
the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues
from the hob whilst they are still hot,
using a shielded scraper blade.
Take care not to burn yourself.
If residues are allowed to cool before
being removed, the ceramic surface
would be susceptible to pitting or even
cracking.
Clean the appliance once it has cooled
down.

15

Warning and Safety instructions

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,
giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other

~

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

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.

If the hob is installed behind a

~

kitchen furniture door, it may only be
used with the furniture door open.
Only close the door when the appliance
is switched off and the residual heat
indicators have gone out.

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

16

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 should 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.

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.

17

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.

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.

The metal components have a protective coating which may
give off a slight smell when heated up for the first time.

The smell and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance, and they are not harmful to health.

18

Single circle zone

How the cooking zones work

Single circle cooking zones have one heating element, whilst
double circle (vario) cooking zones and extended zones have
two. Depending on model, the heating elements may be
separated by an isolating ring.

Each cooking zone has overheating protection (a
temperature limiter), which stops the ceramic surface from
becoming too hot (see "Overheating protection").

When a power level is selected, the heat switches on and the
element can be seen through the ceramic surface.

The temperature of the cooking zones depends on the power
level selected, and is electronically regulated. This controls
the "timing" of a cooking zone, switching the element on and
off.

Operation

How the hob is operated

The hob is equipped with electronic sensor controls which
react to finger contact.

When the hob is switched off only the symbols for the sensors
for switching the hob on and off and the safety lock are
visible. When the hob is switched on all the other sensors
light up as well. The "0" on the numerical keypad lights up
more brightly than the other numbers.

To operate the hob, touch the relevant sensor. Each time you
touch a sensor, an audible tone sounds.

Take care to 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 sensors. The electronic unit
underneath could get damaged.

20

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 s sensor.

^

All the sensors will light up. The "0" on the numerical keypad
will light up more brightly than the other numbers. If no further
entry is made, the hob will switch itself off after a few seconds
for safety reasons.

Activating the cooking zones

A cooking zone is not active if only the "0" is lit up in the
numerical keypad. Touch the "0" to activate the zone. All the
power levels will light up.

Setting the power level

Operation

Standard power level range

^ Touch the appropriate number on the numerical keypad of

the cooking zone you wish to use.

For example, if you have selected power level 7, the numbers
0 to 7 will light up more brightly than the other numbers.

Extended power level range

(see "Power level range")

^

Touch the area between the numbers.

For example, if you have selected power level 7+, the
numbers 7 and 8 will light up more brightly than the other
numbers.

Altering the power level

^

Touch the appropriate number on the numerical keypad of
the cooking zone you wish to use.

21

Operation

For smaller quantities, select a lower setting.

22

Auto heat-up

Activating

Operation

When Auto heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone
switches on automatically at the highest power setting and
then switches to the continued cooking setting selected. The
heat-up time depends on which continued cooking setting
has been chosen (see chart).

As the higher continued cooking settings are generally used
for frying food, only a relatively short heat-up time is needed
to heat up the pan initially.

Touch the number of the continued cooking setting you

^

require until a tone sounds and the continued cooking
setting selected starts flashing.

The continued cooking setting selected will flash during the
heat-up time.

Altering the continued cooking setting will deactivate auto
heat-up.

If the range of power settings has been extended (see
"Programming") and one of the intermediate continued
cooking settings has been selected (e.g. 3+) the power level
before and after the intermediate setting will flash (e.g. 3 and

4).

Deactivating

You can switch off auto heat-up before the auto heat-up time
has finished.

Switching on the extended cooking area

When cooking with larger pans, the outer circle of a double
circle/extended zone (see "Guide to the appliance") can be
switched on to provide an extended cooking area.
For hobs with a combination extended zone, two cooking
zones (one behind the other) are switched on together with
the heating element located between them. The combination
extended zone is operated via the front right cooking zone.

When the outer circle is switched on the sensor for the
extended cooking area lights up more brightly than normal.
For hobs with a triple circle zone (depending on model), no
distinction is made in the display between the second and
third heating element.

The extended cooking area will switch off when the cooking
zone is switched off.

Touch the s sensor.

^

This switches off all cooking zones. The numbers 1 to 9 will
go out after a few seconds. The residual heat indicator will
appear in the display of any cooking zone which is still hot.

The lines of the residual heat indicator go out one after
another as the cooking zone cools down. The last horizontal
line only goes out when the cooking zone is safe to touch.

Do not touch or place any heat-sensitive objects on the
cooking zones while the residual heat indicators are on.
Danger of burning and fire hazard.

Operation

If there is an interruption to the power supply, the residual
heat indicators will flash on and off.

27

Suitable pans

Most suitable

–

The best pans for use on a ceramic hob are those with a
thick base which is very slightly concave when cold. When
heated, the base flattens to rest evenly on the hob,
optimising the conduction of the heat.

cold hot

Less suitable

–

Pans made of glass, ceramic or stoneware are less
suitable, as they do not conduct the heat so well.

– Not suitable

Dishes or containers made from plastic or aluminium foil
must not be used as these melt at high temperatures.

– Aluminium pans or pans with an aluminium base can

cause metallic, shiny marks to appear on the ceramic
surface. These marks can be removed using a ceramic
and stainless steel hob cleaner (see "Cleaning and care").

28

– 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.

–

Lift pans into position on the hob. Sliding them into place
can cause scuffs and scratches.

–

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

Tips on saving energy

Check that the diameter of the pan base is wide enough

–

for the cooking zone so that heat is not lost unnecessarily.

too small suitable

Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss.

–

uncovered covered

– Select a smaller pan when cooking small quantities. A

small pan on a small cooking zone uses less energy than a
large, partially filled pan on a large cooking zone.

– Cook with as little water as possible.

– Once food has come to the boil or the oil in the pan is hot

enough for frying, reduce the heat to a lower setting.

–

When cooking for a long time, switch the cooking zone off
about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
In this way, use is made of the residual heat.

–

Cooking times are greatly reduced when using a pressure
cooker.

29

Timer

h

The hob must be switched on to use the timer.

The timer can be used for two different functions:

to set the minute minder

–

Safety switch-off if the sensors are covered

Your hob will switch off automatically if one or several of the
sensors remain covered for more than about 10 seconds, for
example by finger contact, food boiling over, or by an object
such as an oven glove or a tea towel.
An F will flash in the timer display. At the same time a tone will
sound every 30 seconds (for a maximum of 10 minutes).

^

Clean the control panel or remove the obstruction.

This will turn off the tone and the F will go out. You can now
use the hob again.

38

Overheating protection

Each zone is equipped with overheating protection (internal
temperature limiter). This switches off the heating elements in
the cooking zone before the ceramic surface overheats.

If the heating element switches on and off even when the
highest power level is selected, this indicates that the
overheating protection mechanism has triggered.

Once the ceramic surface has cooled down to a safe level,
the heating element will automatically switch back on again.

Overheating can be caused by:

a cooking zone being switched on without a pan on it.

–

heating up an empty pan.

–

– the base of a pan not sitting evenly on the cooking zone.

– the pan not conducting heat properly.

appliance. The steam could reach electrical components
and cause a short circuit.

The appliance should be cleaned after each use. Let it cool
down to room temperature before cleaning.
To avoid water marks and limescale deposits, use a soft cloth
to dry surfaces that have been cleaned with water.

To avoid damaging the surface of your appliance, do not
use:

washing-up liquid,

–

– cleaning agents containing soda, alkalines, ammonia,

acids or chlorides,

– cleaning agents containing descaling agents,

– stain or rust removers,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream

cleaners,

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this

40

– solvent-based cleaning agents,

–

dishwasher cleaner,

–

grill and oven cleaners,

–

glass cleaning agents,

–

hard, abrasive brushes or sponges, e.g. pot scourers,
brushes or sponges which have been previously used with
abrasive cleaning agents,

–

melamine eraser blocks,

–

sharp, pointed objects which could damage the seal
between the ceramic surface and the surrounding frame,
and between the frame and the worktop.

Cleaning and care

Do not use washing-up liquid to clean the ceramic surface.
Washing-up liquid will not remove all soiling and deposits.
It will form an invisible coating which will cause permanent
discolouration of the ceramic surface.
Clean the hob regularly with a suitable ceramic hob
cleaner.

Wipe all coarse soiling off using a damp cloth. Stubborn
soiling may need to be removed with a shielded scraper
blade.

Then clean the hob with Miele ceramic and stainless steel
hob cleaner (see "Optional accessories") applied with kitchen
paper or a clean cloth. Do not apply cleaner whilst the hob is
still hot, as this could result in marking. Please follow the
manufacturer's instructions.

Finally, wipe the hob with a damp cloth, then polish with a
soft, dry cloth. Ensure that all cleaner residues are removed.
Residues can burn onto the hob the next time it is used, and
cause damage to the ceramic surface.

Spots caused by limescale, water and aluminium residues
(spots with a metallic appearance) can be removed using
Miele's ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner.

Should any sugar, plastic or aluminium foil spill or fall onto
a hot cooking zone while it is in use, first switch off the
appliance. Then carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or
aluminium residues from the hob whilst they are still hot,
using a shielded scraper blade. Take care not to burn
yourself.
Allow the appliance to cool down, and then clean as
described above.

To test the power level

You can test the power level of a cooking zone by measuring
how long it takes to bring a specific amount of water to the
boil.

The pan (and lid) must be stainless steel or enamel. The
diameter of the pan must match the cooking zone, and be
flat-bottomed or slightly concave.

Take a note of the diameter and wattage of the cooking

^

zone to be tested (see "Guide to the appliance - Cooking
zones").

Fill the pan with the quantity of water given in the table. The

^

temperature of the water should be approx. 20°C.

Put the lid on the pan and place the pan on the cooking

^

zone.

^ Switch on the cooking zone at the highest power level.

^ Note the time it takes for the water to boil.

The power level for the cooking zone is correct if the water
boils within the time given in the table.

The time can vary if:

- there is low or excess voltage.

- very cold water is used.

- an unsuitable pan is used.

- the pan is not covered.

A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the worktop cut-out and
any niche cladding to protect it from heat damage.

If the niche cladding is made from a combustible material (e. g. wood) a
minimum safety distance e of 50 mm must be maintained between the cut-out
and the cladding.

If the niche cladding is made from a non-combustible material (e. g. metal,
natural stone, ceramic tiles) a minimum safety distance e of 50 mm less the
thickness of the cladding must be maintained between the cut-out and the
cladding.
Example: 15 mm niche cladding
50 mm - 15 mm = minimum safety distance of 35 mm

Safety instructions for installation

Hob with frame or bevelled
edges

Seal between the hob and the
worktop

The sealing strip under the edge of the
top part of the appliance provides a
sufficient seal for the worktop.

The hob must not be sealed with
sealant (e.g. silicone).
This could result in damage to the
hob or the worktop if the hob ever
needs to be removed for servicing.

Tiled worktop

Grout lines a and the hatched area
underneath the hob frame must be
smooth and even. If they are not the
hob will not sit flush with the worktop
and the sealing strip underneath the
hob will not provide a good seal
between the hob and the worktop.

The exact positions of the spring
clamps, and the safety brackets for
hobs with bevelled edges, are shown
in the building-in dimensions for the
particular hob.

Hobs with bevelled edges:
The sealing strip will ensure that the
hob sits securely in the cut-out. Any
gap between the frame and worktop
will reduce with time.

Make the worktop cut-out according

^

to the dimensions given in the
building-in dimensions. Remember to
maintain the minimum safety
distances (see "Safety instructions
for installation").

Installation

Worktops made of wood

Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable

^

heat-resistant sealant to avoid
swelling caused by moisture.

Make sure that the sealant does not
come into contact with the top of the
worktop.

^

Depending on model, place spring
clamps a (supplied) on the upper
edge of the cut-out or for hobs with
bevelled edges, safety brackets b
(supplied) flush with the upper edge
of the cut-out.

^

Secure the spring clamps a or
safety brackets b using the

3.5 x 25 mm wood screws supplied.

65

Installation

Granite and marble worktops

You will require double-sided tape
and silicone (not supplied).

^ Apply silcone to the side edges and

the lower edges of the spring clamps
and safety brackets.

^

Fix the spring clamps (or safety
brackets for hobs with bevelled
edges) in place using double-sided
tape c.

The spring clamps must rest on the
top edge of the cut-out and the safety
brackets must be flush with the top
edge of the cut-out.

66

Installing the hob

Feed the hob connection cable down

^

through the cut-out.

Position the hob on the spring

^

clamps.

Using both hands, press down

^

evenly on the sides of the hob until it
clicks into position. When doing this,
make sure that the seal under the
hob sits flush with the worktop on all
sides. This is important to ensure an
effective seal all round.
Do not use sealant (e.g. silicone).

If the corners of the frame are not
flush with the worktop surface, the
corner radius (ß R4) can be carefully
scribed to fit.

^ Connect the hob to the mains.

^ Check that the hob works.

Installation

The hob can now only be removed
with a special tool.

67

External mains connection box

A minimum safety distance of
150 mm must be maintained
between the connection box and the
hob and also any other source of
heat (cooker, oven etc).

The connection box can be sited as
follows:

placed in a base unit underneath the

–

hob

on the side wall of a base unit

–

underneath the hob

– on the wall behind the base unit

– in a neighbouring unit.

If an interim shelf is fitted beneath
the hob, the connection box must
not be sited between the hob and
the interim shelf.
