9
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the
residual heat indicators go out.
Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite, do not
attempt to put the flames out with water.
Switch off the cooktop and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid,
damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking
process has to be supervised continuously.
Flames could set the grease filters of a rangehood on fire. Do not
flambé under a rangehood.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the cooktop. Cutlery inserts must be heatresistant.
Do not heat an empty pan.
Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the cooktop, as pressure can build up in the containers, causing
them to explode.
Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth or
protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the
cooktop is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of
any metal items left on the cooktop heating up, with the danger of
burning. Depending on the material, other items left on the cooktop
could also melt or catch fire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the
ceramic surface and be difficult to dislodge. Do not use the
appliance as a resting place. Switch the cooking zones off after use
and do not rely on the pan detector.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. Protect your hands
with heat-resistant pot holders or oven gloves when handling hot
pots and pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat
to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding
or burning yourself.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food mixer,
near the cooktop, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance
cannot come into contact with the hot cooktop. The insulation on the
cable could become damaged.
Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can
cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that the
ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.
Even a light object can cause damage in certain circumstances.
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
Hot objects on the residual-heat indicators can damage the
electronics underneath. Do not place hot pots or pans in this area.
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium
foil to get onto the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage the
ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, switch off
the appliance and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium
residues whilst still hot, using a shielded scraper blade suitable for
use on glass. Wear oven gloves when doing this. Allow the ceramic
surface to cool down and then clean it with a suitable ceramic
cooktop cleaning agent.
Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
not leave the cooktop unattended whilst it is being used.
Only use pots and pans with smooth bases. Rough bases will
scratch the ceramic glass.
Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the cooktop.
The cooktop trim or edge (in the case of bevelled cooktops) can
become hot due to the following factors: operating time, high output
settings, large cookware, and number of cooking zones in use.
Cookware that is made of aluminium or has an aluminium base
can leave behind shiny metallic spots. These can be removed with
the ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner (see “Cleaning and
care”).
If spills remain on the cooktop for any length of time they can burn
on and in certain circumstances become impossible to remove.
Remove any soiling as quickly as possible and ensure that pan
bases are clean, dry and free of grease.
Do not use the ceramic surface for preparing food. Always use
suitable pots and pans.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
13
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. 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.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. 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 for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

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 “Service” section of this
booklet. Alternatively, the additional
label can be stuck near the appliance
if the appliance markings are not
visible after installation.
Remove any protective wrapping and
stickers (except the data plate).
Cleaning the cooktop for the first time
Before using for the first time, clean
the cooktop with a damp cloth only
and then wipe dry.
Switching on the cooktop for the first time
The metal components have a
protective coating which when heated
for the first time will give off a slight
smell and possibly some vapours.
The smell and any vapours given off do
not indicate a faulty connection or
appliance and they are not hazardous
to health.
18
How the cooking zones work
Single circle cooking zones have one
heating element, whilst double circle
cooking zones and extended zones
have two. Depending on the model, the
heating elements may be separated by
an insulating ring.
Each cooking zone has overheating
protection (a temperature limiter), which
stops the ceramic surface from
becoming too hot (see “Safety features
- Overheating protection”).
When a power level is selected, the
heating switches on and the element
can be seen through the ceramic
surface. The temperature 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.

Suitable cookware
The most suitable cookware is metal
pots and pans with thick bases that,
when cold, bulge inwards slightly. On
warming, the base flattens and sits level
on the cooking zone. This optimises the
conduction of heat.
Cold Hot
Glass, ceramic, or stoneware is less
suitable. These materials do not
conduct the heat well.
Cookware made of synthetic material or
aluminium is not suitable. These melt
at high temperatures.
Cookware that is made of aluminium or
has an aluminium base can leave
behind shiny metallic spots. These can
be removed with the ceramic and
stainless steel cooktop cleaner (see
“Cleaning and care”).
– 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.
Please be aware that the properties of
the pan base can affect the evenness
with which the food heats up (e.g. when
making pancakes).
– To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with a suitable
base diameter (see chapter “Cooking
zones”).
– Use only pots and pans with smooth
bases. Rough bases can scratch the
ceramic glass.
– Always lift the pans to move them.
This will help prevent scratching.
20
– Check that the diameter of the pan
base is wide enough for the cooking
zone so that heat is not lost
unnecessarily.
– Use a pan lid whenever possible to
minimise heat loss.
– 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.
– Cook with as little water as possible.
– Once food has come to the boil or
the oil in the pan is hot enough for
frying, reduce the heat to a lower
setting.
Tips on saving energy
– When cooking for a long time, switch
the cooking zone off about 5 to
10minutes before the end of the
cooking time. In this way, use is
made of the residual heat.
– Use a pressure cooker to reduce
cooking times.

22
Operation
Risk of fire with overheated food!
Unattended food can overheat and
ignite.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended
whilst it is being used.
Cooking zone control knobs
The cooktop has different types of
control knobs:
– Control knobs for double circle
cooking zones and extended zones
have a stop point. These must not be
turned past the stop to 0.
– Control knobs for single circle
cooking zones can be turned 360°.
Switching on
Turn cooking zone rotary controls
with a stop clockwise to the required
power level.
Turn cooking zone rotary controls
without a stop clockwise or anticlockwise to the required power level.
Switching off
Turn the cooking zone rotary controls
with a stop anti-clockwise to 0.
Residual heat indicator
When a particular temperature is
reached after a cooking zone is
switched on, for example the left front,
the corresponding residual heat
indicator lights up:
When the cooking zone cools down to
a particular temperature after being
switched off, the residual heat indicator
goes out.
If extremely hot cookware remains
on the cooking zone for a longer time
after it is switched off, the cooking
zone may still be hot even though
the residual heat indicator has gone
out.
Risk of burning on hot cooking
zones!
The cooking zones will be hot after
use.
Do not touch the cooking zones
while the residual heat indicators are
on.
Turn the cooking zone rotary controls
without a stop clockwise or anticlockwise to 0.
Hot objects on the residual heat
indicators can damage the
electronics underneath.
Do not place hot pots or pans in this
area.
23
Operation
Extension
Variable cooking zones and casserole
zones have a second heating zone that
you can switch on.
Activating
Turn the cooking zone rotary control
clockwise past 12 to the stop.
Turn the rotary control anti-
clockwise to the required power
level.
Deactivating
Turn the cooking zone rotary control
anti-clockwise to 0.
24
Overheating protection
Each zone is equipped with an
overheating protection (internal
temperature limiter). This switches off
the heating element automatically
before the ceramic surface overheats.
As soon as the cooking zone
temperature has cooled sufficiently,
heating is switched on again
automatically.
The overheating protection may be
triggered under the following
circumstances:
– There is no cookware on the cooking
zone that is switched on.
– The pot or pan being used is empty.
– The base of a pan is not sitting
evenly on the cooking zone.
– The pan is not conducting heat
properly.
Safety features
You can tell that the overheating
protection has activated because the
heating element switches on and off
even when the highest power level is
selected.
25
Cleaning and care
Risk of burning due to hot
surfaces!
The cooking zones will be hot after
use.
Switch the cooktop off.
Allow the cooking zones to cool
down before cleaning the cooktop.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaner
could reach electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the cooktop.
The use of unsuitable cleaning
agents can cause the surfaces to
discolour or alter. All surfaces are
susceptible to scratching.
Remove any residual cleaning agent
immediately.
Never use abrasive sponges or
cleaning agents.
Clean the cooktop after every use.
Dry the cooktop thoroughly after
every cleaning to avoid limescale
residue.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the
appliance, do not use:
– washing-up liquid,
– cleaning agents containing soda,
alkalines, ammonia, acids or
chlorides,
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents,
– stain and rust removers,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners,
– solvent-based cleaning agents,
– dishwasher cleaner,
– grill and oven cleaners,
– glass cleaning agents,
26
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g. pot scourers), or sponges which
have been previously used and still
contain abrasive cleaning agents,
– dirt erasers.
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the ceramic surface
Risk of damage by pointed
objects.
The seal between the cooktop and
the worktop could be damaged.
The seal between the ceramic
surface and the frame could be
damaged.
Do not use pointed objects for
cleaning.
Do not use washing-up liquid to
clean the appliance. Using washingup liquid will not remove all soiling
and residues. An invisible film can
develop that can lead to
discolouration of the ceramic glass
surface. This discolouration cannot
be removed.
Clean the ceramic surface regularly
with a proprietary ceramic glass
cleaning agent.
Remove any coarse soiling with a
damp cloth and more stubborn
soiling with a glass scraper.
Then clean the ceramic glass surface
with the Miele ceramic and stainless
steel cooktop cleaner (see “Optional
accessories”) or with a proprietary
ceramic glass cleaner applied with
paper towel or a clean cloth. Do not
apply the cleaner while the cooktop is
still hot, as this can result in marking.
Please follow the cleaning agent
manufacturer's instructions.
Residues can burn onto the cooktop
the next time it is used and cause
damage to the glass ceramic surface.
Ensure that all cleaner residues are
removed.
Spots caused by limescale, water
and aluminium residues (spots with a
metallic appearance) can be removed
using the Miele ceramic and stainless
steel cooktop cleaner.
Risk of burning due to hot
surfaces!
The cooking zones are hot during
use.
Wear oven gloves when removing
residues of sugar, plastic or
aluminium foil from a hot cooktop
with a glass scraper.
Should any sugar, plastic or
aluminium foil spill or fall onto a hot
cooking zone while it is in use, first
switch off the appliance.
Then carefully scrape off these
residues immediately whilst they are
still hot, using a shielded scraper
blade suitable for use on glass.
Afterwards, clean the ceramic surface
in its cooled state, as described
above.
Finally wipe the cooktop with a damp
cloth and dry it with a soft, dry cloth.
27
Problem solving guide
With the help of the following guide, minor faults in the performance of the
appliance, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remedied
without contacting Miele. This will save you time and money because you won't
need a service call.
Please note that a call-out charge will be applied to unnecessary service visits
where the problem could have been rectified as described in these operating
instructions.
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The cooking zones do
not heat up.
A smell and vapours are
given off when the new
appliance is being used.
The heating element for
one of the cooking
zones switches on and
off.
There is no power to the cooktop.
Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. Contact
an electrician or Miele (for the minimum fuse
rating, see data plate).
There may be a technical fault.
Turn the control knobs to the 0 position.
Disconnect the cooktop from the mains electricity
supply for approx. 1 minute. To do this:
– switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the
plug, or
– switch off the main circuit breaker or residual
current device.
If, after switching the circuit breaker or residual
current device back on, the appliance will still not
switch on, contact a qualified electrician or Miele.
The metal components have a protective coating
which when heated for the first time will give off a
slight smell and possibly some vapours. The smell
and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance and they are not harmful to
health.
This “timing” of the element is normal. It is caused
by the electronic temperature control (see “How the
cooking zones work”).
If the heating switches on and off at the highest
power level, the overheating protection has been
triggered (see “Overheating protection”).
28
Problem solving guide
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The food in the pan is
barely heating up or is
not heating up at all.
The pan is not conducting heat properly.
Use a different pan which is better able to conduct
heat.
The pan is too large for the cooking zone.
Use a smaller pan.
The outer ring of a double or extended cooking zone
is not switched on.
Switch the outer ring on.

minimum safety distance of 600mm
must be maintained.
For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil
rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety
distance of 600mm must be
maintained between these objects and
the highest part of the cooktop below.
When two or more appliances which
have different safety distances are
installed together below a
rangehood, you should observe the
greatest safety distance.

Installation
Safety distances to the sides and back of the appliance
Ideally the cooktop should be installed
with plenty of space on either side.
There may be a wall at the rear or a tall
unit or wall on one side (right or left),
taking into account the distances
below. On the other side, however, no
tall unit or wall should stand closer than
300mm to the edge of the cooktop.
Before installing the cooktop, check
that the below clearance requirements
are met.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
back edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
right edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
left edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.

Installation notes
Seal between the cooktop and the worktop
Damage caused by incorrect
installation.
Using sealant under the cooktop
could result in damage to the
cooktop and the worktop if the
cooktop ever needs to be removed
for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the
cooktop and the worktop.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the cooktop provides a sufficient seal
for the worktop.
Tiled worktop
Grout lines and the hatched area
underneath the cooktop frame must be
smooth and even. If they are not, the
cooktop will not sit flush with the
worktop and the sealing strip
underneath the cooktop will not provide
a good seal between the cooktop and
the worktop.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the cooktop for service
purposes may damage the sealing
strip underneath the edge of the
cooktop.
Always replace the sealing strip
before reinstalling the cooktop.

Installation
Preparing the worktop
Create the worktop cut-out.
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Installation –
Safety distances”).
Wooden worktops
Seal the cut surfaces of wooden
worktops with a suitable heatresistant sealant to avoid swelling
caused by moisture. The sealant
must be heat-resistant.
Make sure the sealant does not
come into contact with the top
surface of the worktop.
The sealing strip ensures that the
cooktop will sit securely in the cut-out
without slipping. Any gap between the
frame and worktop will become
smaller over time.
Granite and marble worktops
You will need heavy duty double-sided
adhesive tape (not included with the
cooktop) to fasten the spring clips.
Attach the adhesive tape along the
top edge of the cut-out in the
positions shown in the cooktop
illustration.
Position the spring clips on the top
edge of the cut-out and press them
firmly into place.
Position the spring clips on the top
edge of the cut-out as shown in the
cooktop illustration.
Fasten the spring clips using the
3.5x25mm wood screws supplied
with the appliance.
38
Apply silicone adhesive to the side
edges and bottom edge of the spring
clips.
*INSTALLATION*
Installing the cooktop
Feed the mains connection cable
down through the cut-out.
Position the cooktop in the worktop
cut-out.
Using both hands, press down evenly
on the sides of the cooktop until it
clicks into position. When doing this
make sure that the seal of the
appliance sits flush with the worktop
on all sides. This is important to
ensure an effective seal all round.
If the seal does not meet the worktop
correctly on the corners, the corner
radii (≤R4) can be carefully scribed to
suit.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone).
Installation
Connect the cooktop to the mains
electricity supply.
Check that the cooktop works.
The cooktop can only be removed
using a special tool.

Installation
Electrical connection
Risk of damage from incorrect
connection.
Incorrect installation, maintenance
and repairs can be dangerous to
users.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage or injury caused by incorrect
or unauthorised installation,
maintenance or repair work, or by an
inadequate or faulty on-site earthing
system (e.g. electric shock).
All electrical work must be carried
out by a suitably qualified and
competent electrician, in strict
accordance with current national and
local safety regulations, and any
additional regulations of the local
electricity provider.
After installation, ensure that all
electrical components are shielded
and cannot be accessed by users.
Connection data
The connection data is quoted on the
data plate. Please ensure this
information matches the household
mains supply.
Please see the wiring diagrams for
connection.
Residual current device
For extra safety, it is advisable to
protect the appliance with a suitable
residual current device (RCD) with a trip
range of 30 mA.
Disconnecting devices
Connection must be made via a
suitable isolator switch which provides
disconnection on all poles and which
complies with national and local safety
regulations. When switched off there
must be an all-pole contact gap of at
least 3mm in the isolator switch. The
isolator switch must be easily
accessible after the appliance has been
built in.

*INSTALLATION*
Installation
Mains connection cable
The cooktop must be connected to the
electrical supply with a special
connection cable, type H 05 VV-F (PVC
insulated) with a suitable diameter.
Please see the wiring diagram for
connection.
See the data plate on the cooktop for
the correct voltage and frequency.
The connection cable comes supplied
with a ferrite sleeve attached. This end
must be fitted to the terminal box of the
cooktop. If using a different connection
cable, with the exception of the earth
conductor, all other single conductors
of the power cable must be fed through
the opening of the ferrite sleeve before
attaching them to the connection
terminals.
Replacing the mains connection cable
Danger of electric shock!
Incorrect connection to the electricity
supply may result in an electric
shock.
The mains connection cable must
only be replaced in accordance with
current local and national safety
regulations.
Wiring diagram
When replacing the mains connection
cable, it must be replaced with cable
type H05VV-F by a Miele authorised
service technician or a suitably qualified
and competent electrician in order to
avoid a hazard. These cables are
available from Miele.
