Warning and Safety instructions
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 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.
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.
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.
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and the plug is withdrawn from the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
~
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee 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.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
If the connection cable is damaged,
~
it must be replaced by a suitably
qualified electrician with a specialist
connection cable of type H 05 VV-F
(pvc insulated), available from the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
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 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 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.
Correct use
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 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.
During prolonged or intensive use of
~
the appliance, the frame gets hot and
the control panel can also become
quite warm. This is quite normal and
does not indicate a fault.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Do not use the appliance as a
~
resting place for anything else. 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.
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.
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.
Do not use cookware with an
~
exposed copper or aluminium base as
they may leave permanent visual marks
on the ceramic surface.
Never heat an empty pan unless the
~
manufacturer of the pan expressly
states that you can do so. This could
damage the appliance.
Keep the cooktop 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. 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.
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.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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 cooktop cleaner.
When using an electric socket near
~
the cooktop, care should be taken that
the cable of the electrical appliance
does not come into contact with a hot
cooking zone. The insulation on the
cable could become damaged, giving
rise to an electric shock hazard.
If a domestic animal gets onto the
~
cooktop, a sensor switch could be
touched and a cooking zone switched
on. Keep pets away from the cooktop at
all times.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other
~
inflammable substances must not be
stored in a drawer under the cooktop.
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.
10
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.
11
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
stickers.
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.
On cooktops with bevelled glass
edges, a small gap may be visible
between the cooktop 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.
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight
smell when heated up for the first time.
The smell and any fumes given off do
not mean that the appliance is
defective or has been wrongly installed,
and they are not harmful to health.
12
Use
Sensors
This cooktop is equipped with
electronic sensor controls which react
to finger contact.
To operate a cooking zone touch the
relevant sensor control. Each time you
touch a sensor control an audible tone
sounds.
Make sure that only one sensor is
touched at a time (except when
switching off a cooking zone) and
keep the control area clean and do
not put things down on it. The
sensors may fail to react or they
could mistake the article or any dirt
for a finger tip contact, thereby
activating a function or even causing
the cooktop to switch off
automatically (see “Safety
switch-off”.)
Never place hot pans over the
sensors. The electronic unit
underneath could get damaged.
Switching on
The cooktop 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 cooktop on:
Touch the ON/OFF sensor s.

The residual heat indicators will not go
out until the cooking zone is safe to
touch.
If residual heat indicators are on, do
not touch the cooking zones or
place any heat sensitive object on
them.
Danger of burning and fire.
N.B. If there is a power cut the
indicator light will go out, even if the
cooking zone is still hot.
17
Use
Pans
Pans made from any material can be
–
used on a ceramic cooktop.
However, Miele recommends to
refrain from using cookware with an
exposed copper or aluminium base
as they may leave permanent visual
marks on the ceramic surface.
The best pans are those with a thick
–
base which is very slightly concave
when cold. When heated, the base
flattens to rest evenly on the cooktop,
optimising the conduction of the
heat.
Cold Hot
– Pans made of glass, ceramic or
stoneware are less suitable, as they
do not conduct the heat so well.
Lift pans into position on the
–
cooktop. Sliding them into place will
cause scuffs and scratches.
Check that the diameter of the pan
–
base is wide enough for the cooking
zone so that heat is not lost
unnecessarily. 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.
Too small Suitable
–
Do not use pots and pans on the
ceramic cooktop with bases with
pronounced edges or or ridges, e.g.
cast iron pans. These could scratch
or scour the cooktop surface
permanently.
18
Use
Tips on saving energy
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.
Use as little water as possible to
–
cook with, and reduce the power
setting once the water has come to
the boil or the oil is hot enough to fry
in.
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.
19
Safety features
Safety lock
Keep children away from the cooktop
for their own safety. In addition, your
appliance is equipped with a safety
lock to prevent the cooktop and the
cooking zones being switched on or
any settings being altered.
The safety lock can be activated when
the cooktop is switched off as well as
when it is in use.
If the safety lock is activated when the
cooktop is switched off then the
cooktop cannot be switched on.
If the safety lock is activated when the
cooktop is in use only the following
are possible:
– The settings for the cooking zones
cannot be altered.
– The cooking zones and cooktop can
still be switched off but once
switched off cannot be switched on
again.
How to switch on the safety lock:
Touch the sensor for the child safety
^
lock a until the relevant indicator
light comes on.
The indicator light will go out after a
short while.
The light will come on again to show
that the safety lock has been activated,
if
you touch the sensor for the safety
–
lock a.
you try to select or change a setting.
–
How to switch off the safety lock:
^ Touch the sensor for the safety lock
a until the indicator light goes out.
Please note that the safety lock will
be de-activated if there is a power
cut.
20
Safety switch-off
Safety switch-off with an over-long
cooking time
Your cooktop 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 settings are
not altered, the cooktop will switch itself
off automatically and the appropriate
residual heat indicator will appear.
^ If you wish to use the cooking zones
once again, switch the cooktop back
on again in the usual way by
touching the ON / OFF sensor s.

Safety features
Safety switch-off if the sensors are
covered
Your cooktop will switch itself 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.
At the same time as the cooktop
switches itself off an audible tone will
sound every 30 seconds (for a
maximum of 10 minutes) and an F will
flash in the display of the sensor which
has been covered:
Clean the control area or remove the
^
obstruction.
This will turn off the tone and the F will
go out.
Switch the cooktop back on again
^
with the ON / OFF sensor s. The
cooking zones can now be used
once again.
22
Safety features
Overheating protection
Each cooking zone is equipped with
overheating protection. An internal
temperature limiter switches off the
heating elements in the cooking zone
before the ceramic surface overheats.
Once the ceramic has cooled down to
a safe level the heating will
automatically switch back on again.
Overheating can be caused by:
switching on a cooking zone 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 the heat
–
properly.
You can tell that the overheating
protection has activated because the
heating switches on and off even when
the highest setting is selected.
23
Cleaning and care
For Miele branded cleaning and
conditioning products see "Optional
accessories".
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could
reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
Only use proprietary cleaning
products which are suitable for
cleaning ceramic cooktops. Never
use cleaners containing sand, soda,
alkalis, acids or chlorides, oven
sprays, dishwasher detergents, nor
steel wool, abrasive cleaning
agents, hard brushes, scouring
pads and cloths. You should also
avoid using sponges etc. which
have previously been used with
abrasive cleaning agents, as this will
damage the surface.
Do not use washing up liquid to
clean the ceramic surface, as it can
leave a blue sheen which may be
difficult to remove.
The appliance should be cleaned after
each use. Allow the cooktop to cool
down before cleaning.
Wipe all coarse soiling off using a
damp cloth. Stubborn soiling may need
to be removed with a shielded scraper
blade.
Finally, clean the cooktop with a
suitable proprietary ceramic cooktop
cleaner (see "Optional accessories")
applied with kitchen paper or a clean
cloth. Do not apply cleaner whilst the
cooktop is still hot, as this could result
in marking. Please follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Finally wipe the appliance with a damp
cloth, and then dry it with a clean, soft
cloth. Ensure that all cleaning agent
residues are removed. Residues can
burn onto the cooktop the next time it is
used, and cause damage to the
ceramic surface.
Do not use sharp objects which may
damage the seals between the
ceramic surface and the frame or
between the frame and the worktop.
To prevent the risk of spillages
burning on, remove any soiling as
soon as possible, and ensure that
pan bases are clean, dry and free of
grease.
24
Cleaning and care
Spots caused by limescale deposits,
water and aluminium residues (which
have a metalic appearance) can be
removed using the ceramic cooktop
cleaner.
Should any sugar, plastic or
aluminium foil spill or fall on to a hot
cooking zone, first switch off the
appliance. Then carefully scrape off all
the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues
from the cooktop whilst they are still hot
using a shielded scraper blade. Take
care not to burn yourself.
Allow the cooking zone to cool down,
and then clean as described above
with a suitable proprietary ceramic
cooktop cleaner.
Appliances with aluminium frames
(see data plate) are prone to
scratching, alkali and acid damage.
Take great care when cleaning the
aluminium frame. Do not use cleaning
agents for stainless steel or descaling
agents on aluminium surfaces. Soiling
should be wiped off as soon as
possible after using the appliance. If
the soiling is left for a long time it can
have a damaging effect on the
aluminium surfaces. Intensive cleaning
with proprietary ceramic cooktop
cleaners can cause the frame to take
on a shiny appearance.
If you are unsure about a particular
product or need further advice
please contact your nearest Miele
Customer Contact Centre. See back

Problem solving guide
Repairs to electrical appliances
must only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in accordance with local and
national safety regulations.
Unauthorised repairs could be
dangerous.
Ensure that current is not supplied to
the appliance until after
maintenance or repair work has
been carried out.
What to do if ...
... the cooktop or cooking zones
cannot be switched on
Check whether
... the cooktop switches off while it is
in use and an H or a flashing F
appears in the display for at least
one of the cooking zones and at the
same time an audible tone sounds
One of the cooking zones has probably
been on for too long, or one of the
switch areas may have been covered
(see "Safety switch-off").
... the heating switches on and off at
the highest setting on one of the
cooking zones
The overheating protection has been
activated (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
– the child safety lock is activated.
If necessary, switch it off (see "Child
safety lock").
–
the house mains fuse has blown.
If none of the above is the case, then
disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply for approx. 1 minute.
To do this:
–
switch off at the isolator, or
–
withdraw the mains fuse
Reconnect the appliance to the
electricity supply and if the cooktop still
does not heat up, contact a qualified
electrician or the Miele Customer
Contact Centre (See back page for
address).

This could be because:
– the pan does not transfer the heat
properly.
–
there is too much food in the pan.
Select a higher continued cooking
setting or start cooking at the highest
setting and then turn down to a lower
setting manually later on.
Problem solving guide
... the sensors are over sensitive or
do not react at all.
The sensitivity of the sensors has
changed. You can correct the error as
follows:
Make sure that there is no direct light
–
(sun- or artificial light) on the cooktop
or its surroundings nor that it is too
dark.
Make sure that there is nothing
–
covering the sensors or the cooktop.
Take any pans off the cooktop and
wipe away any food deposits.
– Disconnect the cooktop from the
power supply for approx. 1 minute.
As soon as the power supply is
reconnected, the electronic will
automatically readjust the sensitivity of
the sensors.
Should the problem persist, please
contact your Miele Customer Contact
Centre.
