The appliance gets hot when in use

and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the appliance at all times.

Keep all pans out of reach of

children. Turn pan handles inwards away from the edge of the hob. Danger of burning or scalding.

Packaging, e.g. cling film,

polystyrene and plastic wrappings, must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all packaging safely as soon as possible.

Do not store anything which might

arouse a child's interest in storage areas above or next to the appliance. Otherwise they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk of burning themselves.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

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. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Before installation, check the

appliance for visible signs of damage. Under no circumstances should you use it if it has been damaged. A damaged appliance is 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).

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).

For safety reasons, this appliance

may only be used after it has been built in.

This appliance may be connected

via a fused plug and switched socket. If you wish to connect it to an isolator switch, or if the appliance is supplied without a plug, it must be installed and connected by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.

If the connection cable is damaged,

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

Before connecting the appliance to

the mains supply 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Never open the appliance casing.

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

While the appliance is under

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

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,

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable),

– it is switched off at the wall socket

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

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.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

For people fitted with a heart

pacemaker: Please note that the area immediately surrounding the appliance is electromagnetically charged, and that this could affect a pacemaker. If in any doubt consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor.

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.

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.

This appliance must not be set up or

operated in the open air.

When using an electric socket near

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

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.

Do not flambé under a cooker hood.

The flames could set the cooker hood on 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.

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.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil

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

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Spray canisters, aerosols and other

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

Do not drop anything on the ceramic

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

Keep the hob clean. Grains of salt,

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

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.

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.

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 order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the hob. Do not store 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.

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 use pots and pans on the

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

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Metal utensils stored in a drawer

under the hob could become hot if the induction hob were used intensively for a long time.

Always ensure that food is

sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and quantity of the food and its temperature. 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 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.

Do not use two pans on a cooking

zone at the same time.

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.

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" 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

When the induction hob is first connected, and after a power cut, all of the indicators in the display light up for approx. 1 second for testing purposes. The appliance can be used as soon as the indicators go out.

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.

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 no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed on the cooking zone, the cooking zone will switch off automatically after 3 minutes. 0 and C will flash alternately in the display.

To use the induction zone again, first turn the control to "0".

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 display.

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

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 when two

cooking zones are in use and the bases of the pans are made of layers of different materials and one of the linked cooking zones is being operated with its booster function.

– 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.

Pans

Suitable pans include:

stainless steel pans with a magnetic

base

enamelled steel pans

–

cast iron pans

–

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

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.

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

Pan size

To make optimum use of the cooking zones, choose pans with diameters larger than the innermost markings but smaller than the outermost markings. If the 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.

Use a lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss.

uncovered covered

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.

Operation

Switching on and off

Each cooking zone is switched on by turning the control clockwise a to the power setting required, and is switched off by turning the control anticlockwise b to "0".

Do not turn the control to "0" by turning it past BI or BI/II.

Residual heat indicator

The residual heat indicator remains on until the induction hob is cool enough to touch.

Do not touch or place any heat sensitive objects on the induction hob while the residual heat display is still on. Danger of burning and fire.

When a cooking zone is switched on, the in-operation indicator lights up. Once it has reached a certain temperature, the residual heat indicator also lights up.

After the appliance has been switched off, the in-operation indicator goes out.

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

Heat-up time

in minutes and

seconds (approx.)

Activating Auto heat-up

Turn the control anticlockwise as far

as it will go, and hold in that position until A appears in the display.

If you hold the control for too long, L will appear in the display which means that the lock has been activated (see "Safety features Lock").

Turn the control clockwise to the

continued cooking setting required.

Auto heat-up will not be activated if you do not select a continued cooking setting within 5 seconds.

The continued cooking setting can be changed during the first 10 seconds after Auto heat-up has been activated; after that, it cannot be changed. Changing the continued cooking setting after 10 seconds deactivates Auto heat-up.

An A lights up in the display during the Auto heat-up phase.

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.

Taking a pan off the zone whilst Auto heat-up is in operation interrupts the Auto heat-up. It will resume if a pan is placed back on the zone within 3 minutes.

Operation

Booster function

The cooking zones are equipped with single (l) or twin boosters (I/II) (see "Guide to the appliance").

When activated, the power is boosted so that large quantities can be heated quickly, e.g. boiling water for cooking pasta. When Booster l is activated, the cooking zones will operate with extra power for 10 minutes and when Booster II is activated with extra power for 15 minutes.

The booster function cannot be used with two cooking zones at the same time. Exception: On the CS 1234, the booster function can be used with one of the cooking zones on the left and with one on the right at the same time.

The cooking zone will automatically revert to power setting 9 at the end of the booster time. The B as well as the I or II will go out in the display.

Taking a pan off the zone whilst the booster is in operation interrupts the booster function. It will resume if a pan is placed back on the zone within 3 minutes.

To activate Booster l

Turn the control past power setting 9

to BI or BI/II, and then back to 9.

I will appear in the display for the cooking zone and the B booster indicator will light up.

To activate Booster II

Turn the control past power setting 9

to BI/II, and then back to 9.

I will appear in the display for the cooking zone and the B booster indicator will light up.

^ Turn the control past power setting 9

to BI/II, and then back to 9 once more.

II will appear in the display for the cooking zone.

To deactivate the booster function

The booster function can be cancelled early.

Keep turning the control past power setting 9 to BI or BI/II until the I or II symbol in the display goes out; or reduce the power setting.

Operation

Keeping warm

Each cooking zone has a keeping warm function.

If the keeping warm function has been activated, the cooking zone will switch off automatically after a maximum of 2 hours.

This function is for keeping food that has just been cooked warm, i.e. food that is still hot. It is not for reheating food that has gone cold.

Useful tips

Only use pans for keeping food warm. Cover the pan with a lid.

You do not have to stir food while it is being kept warm.

Nutrients are lost when food is cooked, and continue to diminish when food is kept warm. The longer food is kept warm for, the greater the loss of nutrients. Try to ensure that food is kept warm for as short a time as possible.

Safety features

Safety lock

Keep children away from the hob for their own safety.

Your appliance is equipped with a safety lock to prevent the hob and cooking zones being switched on.

Hobs with 2 cooking zones: The control on the right is used to activate and deactivate the lock.

Hob with 4 cooking zones: The control on the outside right is used to activate and deactivate the lock for the cooking zones on the right. The second control from the left is used to activate and deactivate the lock for the cooking zones on the left.

To activate the lock:

^ Turn the control anti-clockwise as far

as it will go, and hold in that position until L appears in the display.

Every time the control is touched after this, an L will show in the display for 3 seconds.

To deactivate the lock:

Turn the control anti-clockwise as far as it will go, and hold in that position until the L goes out, and 0 appears briefly in the display.

Safety switch-off

Your hob is fitted with a safety switch-off feature in case you forget to switch it off yourself.

If one of the cooking zones is heated for an unusually long period of time (see chart), and the power setting is not altered, the cooking zone will switch itself off automatically.

C and 0 will flash alternately in the display for that cooking zone.

To use the cooking zone again, first turn the control to "0". The in-operation indicator and the display will go out.

Overheating protection

All the induction coils and the cooling element for the electronics are fitted with an overheating protection mechanism.

To prevent the induction coils and cooling element from overheating, the overheating protection mechanism works on the affected cooking zone or on the entire hob in the following ways:

If the booster function is being used,

–

this will be deactivated.

The power level will be reduced.

–

Safety features

If the temperature rises after the

–

power supply has been reduced, the cooking zones will switch off. Other cooking zones may switch off shortly afterwards.

C and 0 will flash alternately in the display.

Turn the control for the affected

zone(s) to "0".

The cooking zones can be used again as soon as they have cooled down to a safe level.

– If an induction coil is affected, the

cooking zone with that coil will be switched off and an H will appear in the display. Other cooking zones may switch off shortly afterwards.

^ Turn the control for the affected

zone(s) to "0".

The cooking zone can only be used again in the normal way after the H has gone out.

If the control is not turned back to "0", C and 0 will flash in the display alternately. To use the cooking zone again, first turn the control to "0".

–

If the cooling element is affected, the power supply to the cooking zones will be reduced.

As soon as the cooling element has cooled down sufficiently, the cooking zones will continue operating at the original power setting.

Overheating can be caused by:

– heating up an empty pan

– fats or oils being heated up on the

highest power setting.

– there being insufficient ventilation to

the underside of the appliance.

If the overheating protection mechanism triggers again, contact the Service department.

Cleaning and care

Miele offer a range of branded cleaning and conditioning agents for your hob. See "Optional accessories".

Under no circumstances use a

steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance . The steam could attack the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to other components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability.

The appliance should be cleaned after each use. Let it cool down to room temperature. 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 or your hob, do not use:

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,

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,

– sharp pointed objects

(these can damage the seal between the frame and the worktop).

Cleaning and care

Ceramic surfaces

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 a suitable 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 metalic appearance) can be removed using ceramic hob and stainless steel cleaner.

Stainless steel

The ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner is suitable for cleaning stainless steel surfaces (see "Optional accessories"). To help prevent resoiling, we recommend a stainless steel conditioner (see "Accessories"). Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.

Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on printed surfaces. This would rub off the print. These areas should be only cleaned with an E-Cloth or with a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge.

Should any sugar, plastic or aluminium foil spill or fall on to 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 good care: danger of burning. Allow the cooking zone to cool down, and then clean as described above with a suitable proprietary ceramic hob and stainless steel cleaner.

Problem solving guide

Installation work and repairs to

electrical appliances must only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

If none of the above is the case, then turn the control to "0", and disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply for approx. 1 minute.

Reset the trip switch in the mains fuse box, and switch the appliance back on. If it still will not switch on, contact a qualified electrician or the Miele Service Department.

Problem solving guide

... one of the following has occurred:

The booster has deactivated early

–

automatically.

C and 0 are flashing alternately in the

–

display.

An H is showing in the display.

–

The overheating protection mechanism has been triggered (see "Overheating protection").

... the food in the pan hardly heats up or does not heat up at all when the Auto heat-up function is switched on.

This could be because:

– there is too much food in the pan.

– the pan not conducting heat

properly.

Select a higher continued cooking setting next time or start cooking at the highest setting and then turn down to a lower setting manually later on.

... The cooling fan continues to run after the appliance has been switched off.

This is not a fault. The fan will continue running until the appliance has cooled down. It will then switch itself off automatically.

Safety instructions for installation

Fit the wall units and extractor hood before fitting the appliance to avoid damaging the surface.

The veneer or laminate coatings of

worktops (or adjacent kitchen units) must be treated with 100 °C heat-resistant adhesive which will not dissolve or distort. Any backmoulds must be of heat-resistant material.

This appliance may only be used in

mobile installations such as ships if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

After installation, ensure that the

connection cable is without hindrance and that there is no mechanical obstruction which could damage it, such as a drawer.

This appliance must not be installed

over a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, refrigerator or freezer. The high temperatures radiated by hobs could damage the appliance below.

All dimensions in this instruction booklet are given in mm.

If an interim shelf is installed under

the appliance, there must be a minimum gap of 40 mm between the top of the shelf and the underside of the appliance.

Safety instructions for installation

Safety distance above the appliance

A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the appliance and the cooker hood above it. See the cooker hood manufacturer's operating and installation instructions for details.

If the manufacturer's instructions are not available for the cooker hood, a minimum safety distance of at least 760 mm must be maintained. For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails, wall units etc. a minimum distance of at least 760 mm must be maintained between them and the appliance below.

When two or more appliances are installed together below a cooker hood, e.g. an induction hob or wok and a gas hob combiset, which have different safety distances given in the installation instructions, you should select the greater distance of the two.

Safety instructions for installation

Safety distances to the sides of the appliance

Ideally the appliance should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and a tall unit or wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider should stand higher than the built-in appliance (see illustrations).

Due to the high temperatures radiated by the appliance, it is essential that a minimum distance of 50 mm is maintained between the worktop cut-out and the back wall.

The minimum distance a between the worktop cut-out and a wall or tall unit to the right or left of it is:

Safety instructions for installation

Safety distance when installing the appliance near a wall with additional niche cladding

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

Preparing the worktop

Make the worktop cut-out for one or

more appliances as applicable. Remember to maintain a minimum safety distance from the back wall, as well as from any tall unit or side wall to the right or left of the appliance. See "Safety instructions for installation".

Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable

heat-resistant sealant to avoid swelling caused by moisture.

If, during installation, you find that the seals on the corners of the frame are not flush with the worktop surface, the corner radius (ß R4) can be carefully scribed to fit.

Installation of several appliances

When installing two or more appliances next to each other a spacer bar b must be used between each one. See "Fixing the spring clamps and spacer bars".

Worktop cut-out

- two appliances

To calculate the cut-out width (D) required:

Add up the widths of each appliance (e.g. widthA+B+Cetc.) and subtract 16 mm from this figure (i.e. 8 mm is taken off either end of the appliance run).

Number of appliances

Appliance width in mm Worktop cut-out in mm

The illustration shows a worktop cut-out with spring clamps a and spacer bars b for 3 appliances.

An additional spacer bar is required for each additional appliance. The position for securing each additional spacer bar will depend on the width of appliance B (288 mm / 380 mm / 576 mm).

Wooden worktops

Fixing the spring clamps and spacer bars

Position the spring clamps supplied a and spacer bars b on the top edge of the cut-out in the positions marked.

Secure the spring clamps and spacer bars with the 3.5 x 25 mm screws supplied.

Fixing the spring clamps and spacer bars

Granite and marble worktops

The screws are not required for granite or marble worktops.

Apply silcone to the side edges and

the lower edges of the spring clamps a and spacer bars b.

Position and secure the spring clamps a and spacer bars b using strong, double-sided adhesive tape c.

Then fill gap e between the spacer bars and the worktop with silicone from the tube supplied.

Installing the appliance(s)

Feed the connection cable down

through the cut-out.

Starting at the front, position the

appliance in the worktop cut-out.

Using both hands, press down

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

When installing several appliances, a sealing strip must be fitted into each spacer bar.

^ Push the appliance to the side until

the long slots in the spacer bar can be seen.

Starting at the front, position the next

appliance in the worktop cut-out.

Connect each appliance to the mains

(see "Electrical connection").

Check that each appliance works

correctly.

Once installed, the hob can be removed using a special tool. It can also be pushed up out of the cut-out from below. It must be pushed up from the back first.

Fit the sealing strip d into the long slots in the spacer bar b.

General installation tips

Tiled worktop

Do not use any sealant unless expressly instructed to do so. The sealing strip under the edge of the top part of the appliance provides a sufficient seal for the worktop.

Do not use sealant between the frame of the top part of the appliance and the worktop. This could cause difficulties if the appliance ever needs to be taken out for servicing and possibly result in damage to the frame or the worktop.

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

a and the hatched area

All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).

If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a suitably qualified electrician with a special connection cable of type H 05 V V-F (pvc insulated), available from Miele.

Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation or repair work has been carried out.

The appliance must only be operated when built-in. This is to ensure that all electrical parts are shielded. Live parts must not be exposed.

Electrical connection

Connection should be made via a fused plug and switched socket or a double pole fused spur connection unit, or a suitable isolator (as appropriate) which complies with national and local safety regulations and the on/off switch should be easily accessible after the appliance has been built in.

If the switch is not accessible after installation (depending on country) an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles.

For extra safety it is advisable to install a suitable residual current device (RCD).

When switched off there must be an all-pole contact gap of at least 3 mm in the isolator switch (including switch, fuses and relays).
