Warning and Safety instructions
Use
Caution, danger of burning.
High temperatures are produced by
the hob cooking areas.
Do not let small children touch the
appliance during operation. Not
only do the cooking areas of the ceramic hob heat up, but also the control
panel. Danger of burning. Keep all
pans out of the reach of children.
Supervise use of the hob by the elderly
or infirm.
Ceramic hobs
When switched on, the cooking
areas heat up extremely quickly.
The residual heat indicators will show
whether a cooking area is switched on,
or is still hot.
Only for Halogen hobs
Do not stare at halogen cooking
areas when heating if there is no pan in
place.
This could cause damage to the eyes.
In the event of any breakages or
cracks occuring in the ceramic
hob it must be switched off immediately and disconnected from the electricity supply.
Contact the Miele Service Department.
Do not use the hob as a resting
place for anything else. This could
lead to a danger of the article catching
fire, if the hob were to be switched on
inadvertently.
Do not drop anything on the ce-
ramic hob.
Dropping a salt cellar, for example,
could be the cause of damage in certain circumstances.
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get onto the ceramic hob
when it is hot.
If this should occur do not switch the
appliance off. Scrape all the sugar,
plastic, or aluminium remains from the
hob with a shielded razor blade
scraper taking care not to burn yourself.
If this is allowed to cool before the hob
has been cleaned, the ceramic surface
will be susceptible to pitting or even
cracking.
Do not use any pots or pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with pronounced edges or ridges.
These could scratch or scour the hob
surface permanently.
Do not push enamelled pots or
pans such as chip pans across the
ceramic hob as this can cause scratches to occur.
Do not use the hob until the damaged
ceramic plate has been replaced. Continued use would be dangerous as
liquids etc. boiling over could penetrate the electrical components through
the crack.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
General
Under no circumstances use a
steam-cleaning appliance to clean
the ceramic hob. The steam could
penetrate to live components and
cause a short circuit.
Do not leave the appliance unat-
tended when cooking with oils and
fats as these are fire hazards if overheated.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers.
These melt at higher temperatures and
could damage the ceramic surface.
Do not use the ceramic hob to
heat up the room.
The high temperatures of the hob could
cause inflammable objects in the vicinity to burn.
When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the ceramic hob ensure that the cable cannot
touch a heated hob or pan.
Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount
of food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cooking container.
Some foods may contain micro organisms which are only destroyed by
thorough cooking, therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is
particulary important that the food is
fully cooked through. If in doubt select
a longer cooking or reheating time.
It is essential to ensure that food
has been evenly and sufficiently
heated, and to check that it is thoroughly cooked, turning or stirring during cooking if necessary.

Warning and Safety instructions
Push the blade of the shielded
razor blade scraper back in immediately after use to avoid the risk of accidents!
In countries 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 which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any future
user.
Disposal of discarded
appliances
Before disposal of an old ap-
pliance, turn off at the mains, disconnect and remove the appliance
cable at both ends and render useless.
This is intended to prevent the discarded appliance from being a hazard.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by noncompliance with safety instructions.

Safety feature
Lock for hob
The hob lock can be used to prevent
the cooking zones from being switched
on inadvertently, when used either with
the oven, or oven with built-in hob controls. It does not apply to the warming
zone.
The operating instructions for the oven
with built-in hob controls or the control
unit describe how to set the hob lock.
10
Hob controls
The cooking zones are controlled by
heat regulators.
Only turn the cooking zone control
as far as it will go in a clockwise
direction and back again. Turning
the control any other way could
damage it.
The display for the cooking zone lights
up when the cooking zone is switched
on. The colour of the display will
deepen from a light shade for a low setting to a red for the highest setting
The cooking zone controls are fitted
with an "Auto heat-up" feature. This is
activated when the cooking zones are
switched on. After reaching an initial
high temperature the "Auto heat-up" feature automatically switches to the continuation setting choosen, and the heat
is lowered accordingly, without the
need for manual intervention.
The length of the "Auto heat-up" time
depends on the setting selected.
Different heat-up times have been programmed for settings 1 – 7 (for boiling)
and 8 – 12 (for frying).
If you wish you can turn "Auto heat-
up" off:
Turn the cooking zone control to a
setting.
The setting must be higher than the
one required.
After 10 seconds turn the control to
the setting required.
The "Auto heat-up" is now inactivated.
For cookers and control units with a
clock timer
When the two front zones are being
used for cooking they can be switched
on or off automatically independently of
each other.
The "Auto heat-up" period increases in
step with settings 1 – 7; from 8 – 12
however the times are shorter.
If the setting within range 1 – 7 is altered during the "Auto heat-up" period
the period will lengthen accordingly.
11
Hob controls
Cooking hints
Place all ingredients in a pan and
cover.
Turn the control to the setting required for continuation cooking
between 1 – 7 (see chart).
Switch off the zone when the food is
cooked.
Example: Boiled potatoes
Put 1 kg of peeled potatoes into a
pan and cover with 0.25 litres of
salted water. Place on the 18 cm Ø
cooking zone.
Turn the control to continuation cooking setting 6.
After 25 – 30 minutes the potatoes
are done and the cooking zone can
be switched off.
Cooking time may vary according to
the type of pan used and the potato
variety.

quantities select a lower setting.
Description of the hob
Cooking zones - diameters
The cooking zones are clearly marked
on the hob surface.
Only the particular zone which has
been switched on will be heated. The
rest of the hob surface remains relatively cool.
Residual heat indicator
There is an indicator light for each
cooking zone in the hob display field.
When a cooking zone is switched on its
indicator lights up.
This also serves as a residual heat in-
dicator, which stays on after the cooking zone has been switched off, and
only goes out when this area of the ceramic surface has reached a temperature safe to touch.
Extended cooking zones •
Use the corresponding cooking zone
control to switch on the extended zone.
There is an indicator light in the hob display field for each extended cooking
zone. This lights up when the cooking
zone extension is switched on.
Turn the control in a clockwise direction until a resistance is felt. Otherwise it can be damaged.
Turn the control clockwise beyond
setting 12 to the symbol "
allow to spring gently back.
Then turn to the setting required.
Turning the control back to "0"
– switches off the cooking zone,
– switches off the cooking zone exten-
sion.
•" and
Warming zone
(depending on hob)
The sensor touch pads at the front of
the warming zone switch it on and off.
Proceed as follows:
Press touch pad "a".
The indicator light flashes.
Now press touch pad "s".
Indicator light stays on constantly, indicating that the warming zone is
switched on.
To switch off, press either of the touch
pads.
The warming zone has an indicator
light.
This residual heat indicator lights up
shortly after the warming zone has
been switched on and stays on after
the warming zone has been switched
off, and only goes out when this area of
the ceramic surface has reached a temperature safe to touch.
13
Hobs - use
Choice of suitable pans
Attention to correct choice and use of
pans
– will help you obtain the best cooking
result most economically,
– and generally avoid food boiling
over and sticking.
Pan bases
For maximum economy of electricity
when cooking or frying, only use pans
with a flat or very slightly concave
base. When hot the pan will rest evenly
on the hob. Modern saucepans for electric cookers are the most suitable and
efficient for use on ceramic cooking
zones.
Size of pan
The diameter of the saucepan or frying
pan should be very slightly larger than
that of the cooking zone.
Pan lids
Cooking with the lid on the pan retains
the heat.
14
Hobs - use
Notes on the use on hobs
Before switching on, place a saucepan
containing water or food to be cooked
on the cooking area. This prevents unnecessary use of energy or the hotplates warping or burning themselves
out.
Keep the hob and pan bases clean
and dry.
Additional notes for ceramic hobs
Take care before starting to cook
that there is no grit or sand on the
surface of the hob.
This would scratch the surface, especially if a pan was pushed across.
Do not use any pots or pans where
the base has ridges or a pronounced edge.
These could also cause scratches.
Aluminium or stainless steel pans
with aluminium bases can leave
marks with a metallic sheen on the
ceramic surface. Clean these away
at the earliest opportunity, (see Section on Cleaning and Care).
Never leave boiled-over sugar or syrups, plastic items or aluminium foil
on the hob. If this does happen,
turn the hob to a lower setting, but
on no account switch it off. Use a
shielded scraper blade to scrape
off the sugar, plastic or foil residue
thoroughly.
If these residues are allowed to cool before the hob surface has been cleaned,
the ceramic surface will be susceptible
to pitting or even cracking.
Do not push roasting tins or baking
trays etc across the ceramic surface. Scratches could occur.
15
Cleaning and care
Ceramic hob surface
In general you can use the same cleaning agents for the ceramic hob surface
as you would for ordinary glass surfaces.
Never use scouring agents or pads,
or strong cleaners such as oven
sprays or stain removers, as these
could harm the surface.
Clean after each use
Any minor spills which have not
dried on can be wiped off with a
damp cloth or sponge. If washing up
liquid or a similar cleaner is used, light
blue staining might occur.
These stains can be removed with a
proprietary ceramic hob cleaning
agent, although it may take several applications.
For stubborn spillages use a shielded
razor blade scraper.
Then wipe with a damp cloth or
sponge.
Removing marks
Light marks with a metallic sheen
(aluminium desposits) on the hob surface can be removed once the hob has
cooled down by using a suitable proprietary cleaner.
16
Lime deposits (caused for example by
water boiling over, or damp pan bases)
can be removed with vinegar or a proprietary hob cleaner.
Cleaning and care
Removal of sugar, or syrups, plastic
or aluminium foil
Do not let the hob cool down.
Scrape the sugar or other residue
thoroughly from the hob with a
shielded razor blade scraper.
When the hob is cool, switch off and
clean with a proprietary cleaner.
Suitable cleaners
There are proprietary cleaners on the
market for cleaning ceramic hobs. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not apply to the hob when still
hot.
After applying the cleaner let it dry and
then rub it off using paper kitchen towels.
Remove every trace of cleaner from
the hob with a damp cloth. It could
have an adverse effect on the hob
when heated up.
Some cleaners incorporate a silicone
ingredient which acts as a protective
film on the hob. It makes the hob surface smoother and prevents water and
soiling adhering to the surface.
However, cooking at high temperatures
reduces the effect and the cleaner
needs to be reapplied for renewed effect.
By always cleaning the ceramic surface with one of these special cleaners
you will help to avoid the damage
caused by sugar and syrups and aluminium foil deposits.
17
Correcting minor faults
Installation, maintenance and repairs to the electrical components
of this appliance should only be carried out by a fully competent person.
Unauthorised repairs can be dangerous.
Some minor problems however can be
dealt with as follows:
What to do if . . .
. . . A slight smell is given off briefly
when the hob heats up for the first
time?
This is not a fault but is caused by the
moisture in the insulation dissipating.
. . . The hob cooking zones do not
warm up after being switched on
Check to see whether the control display is illuminated.
If not, check whether:
the hob lock is activated.
the house mains fuse has blown.
Contact a qualified electrician or the
Miele Service department.
. . . A cooking zone switches itself off
during use?
This is not a fault.
If the cooking zone is used for an unusually long period of time the safety
switch is activated.
The length of time, between approx
1 – 10 hours, depends on the setting
which has been programmed. The
higher the setting the shorter the time
before the automatic safety switch is
activated.
To use the cooking zone again:
Turn the cooking zone control first of
all to another setting and then back
to the setting originally used.
If the setting is altered during the cooking process the time will be calculated
according to the most recently selected
setting.
. . . The contents in the pan are not
properly cooked or have not started
to cook?
Check whether:
You are using a pan with a heat retaining bottom surface.
The heat from the bottom of the pan will
transfer slowly to the food.
18
You are using too large a pan.
In both of the above cases, choose a
higher heat-up level or bring to the boil
at setting 12 and then turn down.
