Older children may only use the cooktop when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

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.

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.

Keep all pans out of reach of children. Turn pan handles inwards away from the edge of the cooktop. 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.

Technical safety

Before installation, check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. 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).

Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and rated 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.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

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 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.

While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by Miele. Otherwise the warranty is invalidated.

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 special connection cable of type H 05 VV-F (pvc insulated), available from Miele.

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).

This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote control system.

Do not use the cooktop 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!

If the appliance is supplied without a plug, or if the plug is removed, it must be connected to the mains electricity supply by a suitably qualified and competent electrician in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.

In 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 warranty.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

For people fitted with a heart pacemaker:

Please note that the area immediately surrounding the cooktop is electromagnetically charged, and that this could affect a pacemaker.

If in any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor.

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 rangehood. The flames could set the rangehood on fire.

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 cooktop.

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 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 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 cooktop 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.

Installing several appliances

Do not place any hot pots or pans near the spacer bar as they could damage the sealing strip of the spacer bar.

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 use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high temperatures and could catch fire.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the cooktop 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 cooktop with bases with pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans. These could scratch or scour the cooktop 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 cooktop 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 cooktop whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scaper blade.

Take care not to burn yourself.

Once the residues have been removed, allow the appliance to cool down, and then clean with the Original Miele ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner.

When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held mixer, near the cooktop, ensure that the connection cable doesn't come into contact with the cooktop. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

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.

This appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the cooktop. Do not store pointed or small items or paper in the drawer. They could get in through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the housing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not store flammable materials in the appliance storage drawer or near this appliance. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation.

If the cooktop is built in over a pyrolytic oven, the cooktop should not be used whilst the pyrolytic process is being carried out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the cooktop (see relevant section).

Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the cooktop can become hot if the induction cooktop is used intensively for a long time.

Never simultaneously use two pans on the one cooking zone.

If the cooktop is built-in behind a furniture door, it must only be operated when the door is open.

Close the furniture door only once the appliance has been 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.

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 or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances / machines 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 or machine. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old machine or appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and 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.

The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance or the machine to prevent misuse.

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 cooktop 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.

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 do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance, and they are not harmful to your health.

Please note that the heating-up time of induction cooktops is much shorter than that of conventional cooktops.

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 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.

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 cooking zone again, first turn the control to "0".

Take particular care never to place cutlery or other metal objects on the cooktop. 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.

After use, switch off the cooking zone by its control and do not rely on the pan detector.

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 crackling 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 cooktop 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.

Induction

Pans

Type of 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 cooktop, hold a magnet to the base of the pan. If the magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.

Pan size

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 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.

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.

Place pans in the centre of the cooking zone.

If a pan's base sits only partly on the cooking zone, handles can become very hot.
