Warning and Safety instructions
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on its installation, safety, use and maintenance.
The use of the appliance by the elderly or infirm or those who have not used the appliance before should be supervised by a competent and responsible person to avoid the risk of injury.
A data plate for your appliance is supplied with this documentation. It should be stuck into the space provided at the end of the instruction book.
Keep these instructions in a safe place for reference and pass them on to any future user.
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current 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).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Never open the casing of the
appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
Technical safety
The appliance must be installed
and connected by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.
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.
15
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct usage
For safety reasons this appliance
must only be operated after it has been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.
This appliance is intended for
domestic use only and is not to be used for commercial purposes.

preparation of food only. Any other usage is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.
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.
Prolonged, intensive use of the
appliance can cause the control area to heat up. This is quite normal and does not indicate a fault.
16
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.
17
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.
18
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.
19
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.
20
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
Caring for the environment
Disposal of 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 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 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.
21
Before using for the first time
General notes
Your appliance has a "programming" function which you can use to customise the appliance to your particular requirements (see "Programming").
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.
22
Before using for the first time
Automatic recalibration of the sensor switches
To ensure trouble free operation, the sensors
recalibrate when the appliance is first
connected to the mains electricity supply and after any interruption to the power supply.
adjust themselves constantly to the
surrounding conditions.
If the sensor switches are over sensitive or do not react at all, or if the safety lock indicator and cooking zone display numbers light up when the hob is switched off, the sensors will not recalibrate themselves automatically.
If this is the case, recalibration will have to be carried out manually.
Proceed as follows:
Make sure that there is no direct light
^
(from the sun or from an artificial source) falling onto the hob. The area surrounding the hob must not be too dark, nor should the relationship between light and shade be constantly changing.
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.
23
Use
Sensor switches
This hob is equipped with electronic sensor switches which react to finger contact. To operate a cooking zone touch the relevant sensor switch. Each time you touch a sensor switch an audible tone sounds.
Make sure that you only touch the sensor you require (except when switching off a cooking zone), and that you touch the centre of the sensor.
Take care to keep the control area clean. Do not place anything on the control area. The sensors may fail to react or they could mistake the article or any dirt for a fingertip contact, thereby activating a function or even causing the hob to switch off automatically (see Safety switch-off.)
Switching on
The hob must be switched on before any of the zones can be used.
To switch the hob on:
Touch the ON/OFF sensor s.
^
A 0 appears in the display for each of the zones. If no further entry is made, the hob will switch itself off after a few seconds for safety reasons.

Use
Auto heat-up
When Auto heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone switches on automatically at the highest setting and then switches to the continued cooking setting which you have previously selected. The heat-up time depends on which continued cooking setting has been chosen (see chart).
As the higher continued cooking settings are generally used for frying food (and boiling large quantities of water), only a relatively short heat-up time is needed to heat up the pan initially.
How to activate Auto heat-up
^ While a 0 is lit up in the cooking zone
display, touch the - sensor until the required continued cooking setting appears, e.g. 6.
In the extended range of settings (see "Programming - P6."), A flashes alternately with the continued cooking setting until the heat-up time has finished.

To switch the outer circle or extended cooking zone off, touch the n sensor again or set the display for the zone back to 0.
27
Use
Switching off and residual heat indicators
To switch off a cooking zone:
Press the - and + sensors for the
^
zone you want to switch off at the same time.
A 0 will light up in the display for that zone for a few seconds. If the cooking zone is still hot, residual heat will then be indicated by three lines 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.
Please note that if there is a fault message, the residual heat indicators will not light up even if the cooking zones are still hot.
28
Use
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.
uncovered covered
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 power levels for the cooking
zones and the timer settings cannot be altered.
– The cooking zones and hob can be
switched off but once switched off cannot be switched on again.
To activate the safety lock:
Touch the safety lock sensor $ until
^
the relevant indicator lamp comes on.
The indicator lamp will go out after a short while.
The lamp will come on again to show that the safety lock has been activated, if
you touch the safety lock $ sensor.
you try to change a setting.
To deactivate the safety lock:
^ Touch the safety lock sensor $ until
the indicator lamp goes out.
You can alter the setting from one finger to three finger operation (see "Programming - P4") to make it harder for children to operate the appliance.
Please note that the safety lock will deactivate if there is a power cut.
30
Safety features
Stop and Go
Your appliance has a Stop and Go feature which, when activated, reduces the power of all cooking zones that have been switched on. This allows you to leave the hob unattended for a short time without any danger of pans boiling over or burning.
If you wish to use this feature, you will need to alter the factory setting (see "Programming - P5").
To activate Stop and Go:
^ Touch the $ sensor until you hear
two consecutive beeps. Be careful not to continue touching the $ sensor for too long, as this will activate the safety lock.
The indicator lamp for the safety lock will start to flash. The power of the cooking zone in use will be reduced to setting 1, and a 1 will appear in the corresponding cooking zone display.
To deactivate Stop and Go:
Touch the safety lock sensor $ until
^
the indicator lamp goes out.
The cooking zones will now run at the level that was previously set.
If automatic switch-off is programmed for a cooking zone, activating Stop and Go will interrupt the count down to the switch-off time. When Stop and Go is deactivated, the automatic switch-off programme time will continue to run without further interruption.
If a minute minder time has been set, this will continue running and will not be affected by Stop and Go.

Safety features
Safety switch-off
Safety switch-off with an over-long cooking time
Your hob 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 hob will switch itself off automatically and the appropriate residual heat indicator will appear.

32
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.
33
Timer
This hob is equipped with a timer which can be used as a minute minder or to automatically switch off a zone of your choice. Both functions can be operated at the same time.
Programming steps in brief
Switching on Touch m Setting the timer from 99 to 00 minutes use the - sensor

Setting the minute minder
The minute minder can be used with the hob switched on or off. The minute minder works like a manual kitchen timer.
To set the minute minder:
^
Touch the m sensor.
00 appears in the timer display.
^
Touch - or + until the time you require appears in the display, e.g. 15 minutes.
The time then counts down in minutes. The time remaining can be seen in the display and changed at any time by touching - or +.
When the set time has elapsed 00 will appear in the display. At the same time a buzzer will sound for a few seconds. 00 will go out when the buzzer stops. To turn the buzzer off before this, touch the m sensor.

Timer
Switching a cooking zone off automatically
It is only possible to switch a cooking zone off automatically if a power setting has already been selected for that zone.
Proceed as follows:
Select a power setting for the
^
relevant zone e.g. rear right, in the usual way.
Touch the m sensor.
^
00 will appear in the timer display.
^ Touch the m sensor again. An indicator lamp will appear in the
timer display. ^ If several cooking zones are being
used, touch the m sensor repeatedly until the indicator lamp comes on next to the cooking zone you wish to use this function for, e.g. rear right.
The time then counts down in minutes. The time remaining can be seen in the display and changed at any time by touching - or +. The cooking zone power setting can also be changed at any time.
At the end of the time set, the cooking zone will switch itself off automatically. 0 will appear in the cooking zone display, and 00 in the time display. At the same time, a buzzer will sound for a few seconds. 00 will go out when the buzzer stops. To turn the buzzer off before this, touch the m sensor.
Each time the m sensor is touched the indicator lamps will appear one after the other clockwise from front left to front right, however only for those zones which are switched on.
^
Touch - or + until the time you require appears in the display, e.g. 15 minutes.
35
Timer
Switching between timer functions
If you are already using the timer for one function and you also wish to use the other function, touch the m sensor. The timer display will go out. Now proceed as before.
To check the remaining time of the function not displayed, touch the m sensor once.
Timer default setting
The timer is set at the factory so that it starts with 01 or 99 when the + or ­sensor is touched.
This setting can be adjusted so that the time you last used appears in the display when you press + or - (see "Programming - P4."). Example:
If P4. is set to S1, and the last time the minute minder was used it was used for 5 minutes, 00 will appear in the display when you switch on. When you touch + or -, the display will change to 05.
You can still select any time you want, even if you have adjusted the timer default setting.
36
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.
Cleaning and care
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.
37
Cleaning and care
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.
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 cleaners can cause the frames to take on a shiny appearance.
38
Programming
You can change the standard settings of your hob (see chart).
Proceed as follows:
With the hob switched off, touch the
^
hob ON/OFF sensor s and the safety lock sensor $ at the same time until the indicator lamp for the safety lock flashes.
A P (Programme) and a S (Status) will appear in the cooking zone display with a number which shows the current setting (see chart).
^ To select the programme you want
touch the + or - sensor for the front left cooking zone, then select the required status by touching the + or ­sensor for the front right cooking zone (see chart). You can alter several programmes one after the other in this manner.
To store the new settings in memory, touch the hob ON/OFF sensor s until the displays go out. If you do not wish to store the settings in memory, touch the safety lock sensor $ until the displays go out.
If you select the programming function whilst a residual heat indicator is on, the residual heat indicator will flash for up to 45 minutes after you have finished using the programming function. However, you can continue to use the appliance as usual during this time.

Problem solving guide
Installation work and repairs to electrical components of this appliance must 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 dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised 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" and "Programming ­P4").
the 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.
Re-set the trip switch in the mains fuse box and switch the appliance on. If it still will not start, contact a qualified electrician or the Miele Service Department.
... the hob can be switched on and settings selected, but the cooking zones do not heat up
Check whether you set the demo-mode setting by mistake (see "Programming ­P0").
... the hob switches off while it is in use and the residual heat indicator or a flashing F appears in the display for at least one of the cooking zones and, if applicable, an audible tone sounds
One of the cooking zones has probably been on for too long, or one of the sensors may have been covered over (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
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.
42
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 residual heat indicators have lit
up during programming.
... the sensors are over-sensitive or do not react at all, or the safety lock indicator and cooking zone display numbers light up when the hob is switched off
The sensitivity level of the sensors has altered and cannot recalibrate automatically.
... the outer area of a cooking zone that has just been switched on glows faster and more intensely than the inner area
That is not a fault: the cooking zone is fitted with two different elements (see "Guide to the appliance - Cooking zones").
... an F appears in the display for the rear cooking zones, an E appears in the display for the front cooking zones and numbers appear in the timer display
Interrupt the power supply to the hob for approx. 1 minute.
If the problem persists after reconnecting the appliance to the power supply, please contact the Miele Service department.
Proceed as described in "Automatic recalibration of the sensor switches".
If this does not solve the problem, please call the Miele Service department.

Installation
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, 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.
Observe carefully the safety
distances given on the following pages.
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 (see "Sealant").
All dimensions in this instruction booklet are given in mm.
45
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.
46
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).
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 543/547 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 side wall to the right or left of the hob (in the case of the KM 543/547, the minimum distance from a 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.
Hobs with frames: If, during installation, you find that the seals on the corners of the frame are not flush with the worktop, the corner radius ß R4, can be carefully scribed to suit.
Hobs with bevelled edges: These hobs have a seal underneath them to keep the hob securely in position. Any gap between the frame and worktop will reduce with time.
