and does not indicate a fault.
9
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.
Old appliances must be
disconnected from the power
supply, any plug rendered useless and
the cable cut off directly behind the
appliance to prevent misuse. This
should be done by a competent
person.
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
Warning and Safety instructions
Protecting the appliance from
damage
Do not drop anything on the
ceramic surface. Even a light
object could cause damage in certain
circumstances.
Do not use pots or pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with
pronounced edges or ridges. These
could scratch or scour the hob surface
permanently. Grains of salt and sand
can also scratch.
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 scraper 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.
Clean the appliance once it has cooled
down.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean this appliance. The steam
could reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to other
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Unless the pan manufacturer
states that you can do so, do not
use pans with very thin bases on this
hob and never heat up empty pans as
they could get damaged. This could
also damage the appliance.
Never place hot pans near the
control area. This could damage
the electronic unit underneath.
In countries where there are 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 which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
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.
11
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 hob as a resting
place for anything else. The article
could melt or catch fire if residual heat
is still present or if the appliance is
switched on by mistake.
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.
Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil
or fat as these are fire hazards if
overheated. Very hot oil can catch fire
and could even set a cooker hood
above on fire. Always heat fat slowly,
watching as it heats.
If, despite this, 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 flambé under a cooker
hood. The flames could set the
cooker hood on fire.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Appliance faults
In the event of damage or a defect,
switch off the appliance immedi
ately. Disconnect completely from the
electricity supply. If the appliance has
not yet been fully installed, the
electricity cable must be disconnected
from the supply point. If connected via
a plug and socket, switch off at the
socket and withdraw the plug. Contact
the Service Department.
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.
Repairs must only be carried out
by a suitably qualified and
competent person. 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.
While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

Further 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 food and its temperature.
Some foods may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking;
therefore when cooking or reheating
foods 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. Fire hazard.
If a domestic animal gets onto the
hob, a sensor switch could be
touched and a cooking zone switched
on. Keep pets away from the hob at all
times.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other
inflammable substances must not
be stored in a drawer under the hob.
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
13
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.
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
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 your
old 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.
14
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 it to
prevent misuse. See the "Warning and
Safety" section of this booklet for further
details.
Before using for the first time
Cleaning and heating up for
the first time
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.
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight
smell when heated up for the first time.
The smell and any vapours will
dissipate after a short time, and do not
indicate a faulty connection or
appliance.
15

Operation
Suitable pans
For optimum energy consumption
–
during cooking, only pans with flat or
very slightly concave bases should
be used. When the pan is hot, the
base should rest evenly on the hob.
Uneven bases will lengthen cooking
time. Check for suitability when
purchasing new pans.
cold hot
– 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 pan.
The diameter of the base (generally
smaller) is more important.
Energy saving tips
Use a pan lid whenever possible to
–
minimise heat loss.

Safety switch-off if the sensors are
covered
Your hob will switch itself off
automatically if one or several of the
sensor controls 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. The residual heat
symbol will light up in the display of any
cooking zones that are still hot.
Clean the control area or remove the
^
obstruction.
^ Switch the hob back on again with
the ON/OFF sensor s. The cooking
zones can now be used again as
normal.

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.
25
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could
reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Do not use any sharp objects which
could damage the seal between the
ceramic surface and the
surrounding frame and between the
frame and the worktop.
Clean the appliance regularly,
preferably after each use. Allow the hob
to cool down before cleaning.
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.
Most soiling can be wiped off using a
damp cloth. Stubborn soiling may need
to be removed with a shielded scraper
blade.
After cleaning, dry thoroughly with a
soft cloth to prevent a build-up of
limescale deposits
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.
E-Cloth
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic
and chrome without the use of
chemicals.
To remove any limescale deposits,
caused for example by water boiling
over as well as metallic marks e.g. from
saucepan bases, the ceramic surface
can be cleaned using a proprietary
cleaning agent for ceramic surfaces
(available from the Miele Spare Parts
Department). Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.
Finally, wipe the hob surface with a
damp cloth and then dry it with a clean
soft cloth. Ensure that every trace of
cleaner has been removed from the
surface. Any remaining trace could
have a corrosive effect on the hob
when it is next heated up.
Note that some cleaning agents contain
a protective additive designed to
prevent water marks and smears
adhering to the surface.
26
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.

What to do if, ...
... the hob or cooking zones cannot
be switched on
Problem solving guide
... the hob switches off during use
One of the cooking zones has probably
been on for too long (see "Safety
switch-off").
... the heating switches on and off at
the highest setting on one of the
cooking zones
The overheating protection mechanism
has been 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
Check whether
– the safety lock is activated.
If necessary, deactivate it (see
"Safety lock").
– the mains fuse has blown.
If neither 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 mains, or
–
withdraw 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 Service
Department.
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.
29
Problem solving guide
... 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 Service
department.

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 "Seal").
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.
32
Installation
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.
33
Installation
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 stand
higher than the hob (see illustrations).
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.
