Page 10
Warning and safety instructions
Safety with children
Use the safety lock to prevent
~
children operating the appliance or altering the settings.
The appliance is only intended for
~
use by adults who have read these instructions.
This appliance is not a toy! To avoid
~
the risk of injury, keep children well away, and do not allow them to play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.
Older children may use the
~
appliance only 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.
Keep all pans out of reach of
~
children. Turn pan handles inwards away from the edge of the hob. Danger of burning or scalding. Special hob guards are available from good retail outlets.
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.
10
Page 11
Warning and safety instructions
Protecting the appliance from damage
Do not use pots and pans on the
~
ceramic hob with bases with pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans. These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently.
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 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 cooking zone 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.
Do not drop anything on the ceramic
~
surface. Even a light object could cause damage in certain circumstances.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
~
this appliance. The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Never place hot pans on the area
~
around the controls. This could damage the electronic unit underneath.

Page 12
Warning and safety instructions
Protection from burning and scalding
The surface of the appliance is 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.
Do not heat up unopened tins of
~
food on the hob, as pressure will build up in the tin and it can explode. This could result in injury and scalding or damage.
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 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 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.
If oil or fat catches 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.
12
Page 13
Warning and safety instructions
Appliance faults
In the event of damage or a defect,
~
switch off the appliance immediately. Disconnect completely from the electricity supply. Contact the Miele Customer Contact Centre. Do not reconnect the appliance to the mains electricity supply until after it has been repaired.
If there is any damage to the
~
ceramic surface, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply immediately, and not used until it has been repaired. Danger of electric shock.
If the connection cable is damaged,
~
this must be replaced by a suitably qualified electrician with a special connection cable of type H 05 W-F or H 05 RR-F, available from the Miele Customer Contact Centre.
Repairs may only be carried out by
~
a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be very dangerous and could damage the appliance. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Never open the housing of the appliance.
Futher safety notes
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.
Always ensure that food is
~
sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount 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.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
~
containers. These melt at high temperatures, and could damage the ceramic surface and catch fire.
If a domestic animal gets onto the
~
hob, a sensor could be touched and a cooking zone switched on. Keep pets away from the hob at all times.
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.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other
~
inflammable substances must not be stored in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

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.
Dispose of or recycle all packaging materials safely as soon as possible.
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,and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
It should be disconnected from the mains electricity supply be 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 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.
Heating up for the first time
On hobs with bevelled glass edges, a small gap may be visible between the hob 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.
This is not harmful to health. The smell and any fumes given off will dissipate after a short time, and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance.
15
Page 16
How the cooking zones work
Single circle cooking zones have one heating element, whilst double circle (vario) cooking zones and extended zones have two. Depending on the model, the heating elements may be separated by an isolating ring.
Each cooking zone has overheating protection (a temperature limiter), which stops the ceramic surface from becoming too hot (see "Overheating protection").
When a power level is selected, the heat switches on and the element can be seen through the ceramic surface.
The heat output of the cooking zones depends on the power level selected, and is electronically regulated. This controls the "timing" of a cooking zone, switching the element on and off.

21
Page 22
Operation
Switching off and residual heat indicators
To switch off a cooking zone:
Touch the sensor switch for the
^
relevant cooking zone twice.
A 0 flashes in the cooking zone display for a few seconds. If the cooking zone is still hot, the residual heat indicator will then appear in the display.
To switch off the hob:
^ Touch the ON/OFF sensor s.
This switches off all cooking zones. The residual heat indicator will appear in the display of any cooking zone which is still hot.
The lines of the residual heat indicator go out one after another as the cooking zones cool down. The last horizontal line only goes out when the cooking zone is safe to touch.
Do not touch or place any heat-sensitive objects on the cooking zones while the residual heat indicators are on. Danger of burning and fire hazard.
If there is an interruption to the power supply, the residual heat indicators will flash on and off.

Page 23
Operation
Pans
Pans made from any material can be
used on a ceramic hob.
However, 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 hob, 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.
– Do not use pots and pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans. These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently.
Place pans carefully into position on
the hob. Sliding them across the surface can 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
23
Page 24
Operation
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.

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 the cooking zones being switched on or any settings being altered.
The safety lock can be activated when the hob is switched off as well as when it is in use.
If the safety lock is activated when the hob is switched off, then the hob cannot be switched on.
If the safety lock is activated when the hob is in use:
– The cooking zone power settings
cannot be changed.
– The cooking zones and hob can be
switched off, but once switched off cannot be switched on again.
Cooking zones without double circle/extended zone:
To activate the safety lock, touch the sensor for the safety lock $ until the relevant indicator lamp comes on.
To de-activate the safety lock, touch the sensor for the safety lock $ until the indicator lamp goes out.
Cooking zones with double circle/extended zone:
To activate the safety lock, touch the ­and + sensors at the same time until you hear the audible tone.
When touching a sensor for a zone where the safety lock is activated, the audible signal emitted is slightly longer than normal.
To de-activate the safety lock, touch the - and + sensors at the same time until you hear the audible tone.
Please note that the safety lock will deactivate if there is a power cut.

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.

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 hobs. Never use cleaners containing sand, soda, alkalis, acids or chlorides, oven sprays, dishwasher cleaner, 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 hob 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 hob with a suitable proprietary ceramic 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 appliance with a damp cloth, and then dry it with a clean, soft 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.
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.
28
Page 29
Cleaning and care
Spots caused by limescale deposits,
water and aluminium residues (which have a metalic appearance) can be removed using the ceramic cleaner.
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 care not to burn yourself. Allow the cooking zone to cool down, and then clean as described above with a suitable proprietary ceramic hob cleaner.

Problem solving guide
... the hob switches off during use
One of the cooking zones has probably been on for too long (see section on “Safety switch-off).
... the heating element for one of the cooking zones switches on and off
This is quite normal, and due to the electronic regulation of the heating element (see "How the cooking zones work").
What to do if...
... the hob or cooking zones cannot be switched on
Check whether
– the safety lock is activated.
If necessary, deactivate it (see "Safety lock").
– the mains fuse has tripped.
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
disconnect the mains fuse.
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 Customer Contact Centre.
If the heating element switches on and off when the highest setting has been selected, this indicates that the overheating protection mechanism has 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 is 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.

Problem solving guide
... it is taking too long for the contents of the pan to come to the boil
You can test the power level of the cooking zone (see "To test the power level").
... one or more residual heat indicators are flashing
There was an interruption to the
power supply during operation, and the hob has switched itself off.
The hob can be used again as normal. Check the cooking stage of the food and whether its condition has been affected by the power failure before switching the cooking zone(s) back on again.
... the sensor switches are over sensitive or do not react at all
The sensitivity level of the sensor switches has changed. It can be corrected as follows:
Make sure that there is no direct light
(from the sun or from an artificial source) falling onto the hob and that the surrounding area is not too dark.
Make sure that there is nothing
covering the sensor switches or the hob. Take any pans off the hob and wipe away any food deposits.
– Interrupt the power supply to the hob
for approx. 1 minute.
Reconnect the hob to the electricity supply. The electronic unit will reset the sensitivity levels of the sensor switches.
If this does not solve the problem, please call the Miele Customer Contact Centre.

To test the power level
You can test the power level of a cooking zone by measuring how long it takes to bring a specific amount of water to the boil.
The pan (and lid) must be stainless steel or enamel. The diameter of the pan must match the cooking zone, and be flat-bottomed or slightly concave.
Take a note of the diameter and
^
wattage of the cooking zone to be tested (see "Guide to the appliance ­Cooking zones").
Fill the pan with the quantity of water
^
given in the table.
Place the pan with its lid on the
^
cooking zone.
Switch on the cooking zone at the
^
highest setting.
Note the time it takes for the water to
^
boil.
The power level for the cooking zone is fine if the water boils within the time given in the table.
The time can vary if:
- there is low or excess voltage
- very cold water is used
- an unsuitable pan is used
- the pan is not covered.

Safety instructions for installation
Fit the wall units and extractor hood before fitting the hob to avoid damaging the appliance.
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 equipment may only be used in
~
mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
The hob may not be built in over a
~
fridge, fridge freezer, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine or tumble dryer.
After installing the hob, you need to
~
make sure that the underside of the appliance cannot be accessed or touched. In some cases a front panel and a protective shelf must be fitted (see "Protective shelf").
Observe carefully the safety
~
distances given on the following pages.
Do not use any sealant except
~
where expressly instructed to do so. The sealing strip under the edge of the top part of the hob provides a sufficient seal for the worktop (see section "Sealant").
All dimensions in this instruction booklet are given in mm.
After installing the hob, ensure that
~
the connection cable cannot come into contact with the underside of the appliance. Make sure that there is no mechanical obstruction, such as a drawer, which could damage it.

Safety distance above the hob
A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the hob 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 it and the hob below.
When two or more appliances are installed together below a cooker hood, e.g. an electric hob and a gas wok combiset, which have different safety distances given in the installation instructions, you should select the greater distance of the two.
38
Page 39
Safety distances to the sides of the hob
Ideally the hob 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 stan d higher than the hob (see illustrations).
Installation
-
The following minimum distances should be adhered to for safety reasons:
50 mm to the right or left of the
worktop cut-out to the nearest piece of furniture (e.g. tall unit). KM 503 requires a 70 mm gap to the left.
– 50 mm from the worktop cut-out to
the rear wall.

Preparing the worktop
Make the worktop cut-out following
^
the dimensions applicable. Remember to maintain a minimum safety distance of 50 mm from the back wall, as well as from any tall unit or side wall to the right or left of the hob (in the case of the KM 503, the minimum distance from a tall unit or side wall to the left should be 70 mm). See "Safety instructions for installation".
Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable
^
heat-resistant sealant to avoid swelling caused by moisture. The materials used must be heat-resistant.
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.

Protective shelf
After installing the hob, you need to make sure that the underside of the appliance cannot be accessed or touched.
A fascia panel and a protective shelf must be fitted if:
– no oven or cooker is installed
underneath the hob.
– the appliance is wider than the oven,
cooker or control unit.
the appliance and the built-under oven, cooker or control unit are offset from one another.
A minimum distance of 55 mm is required between the upper surface of the worktop and the protective shelf.
Sealant
Do not use any sealant unless expressly instructed to do so. The sealing strip under the edge of the top part of the hob provides a sufficient seal for the worktop.
Do not use sealant between the frame of the top part of the hob and the worktop. This could cause difficulties if the hob ever needs to be taken out for servicing and possibly result in damage to the hob frame or the worktop.
A gap of 10 mm must be maintained between the shelf and the rear wall.
