This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and dam­age to the appliance. Do not let children access the ap­pliance or its controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any fu­ture user.
Correct usage
The appliance is intended for do-
mestic use to cook food, and in particular to boil, simmer or fry. Any other usage is at the owner’s risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use of the ap­pliance.
Technical safety
Before connecting the appliance
to the mains supply make sure that the voltage and frequency correspond to the rating on the data plate. Consult a competent person if in doubt.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system, which complies with local and national regulations. It is most import­ant that this basic safety requirement is tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held respon­sible for the consequences of an inade­quate earthing system.
This appliance must only be oper-
ated as a built-in appliance. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent persons to en­sure safety. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dan­gerous.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply when:

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.

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.

These figures, which envisage approx. 4 help­ings, should only be taken as a guide. With deep pans, large quantities, or without the lid on, a higher setting is needed. With smaller 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.
