appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so. Service work should only be performed by a qualified technician.
Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the
cooktop for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is damaged.
Reliable and safe operation of the cooktop can only be guaran-
teed if it is connected to the public power supply.
Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appli­ance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.
Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been in-
stalled correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified techni­cian.
To avoid damaging the cooktop, make sure that the connection
data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the building's power supply before connecting the appliance. When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a power
bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
For safety reasons, the cooktop may only be used when it has
been fully installed.
7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the cooktop will endanger your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions. Do not open the casing of the cooktop under any circumstances.
Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized service techni-
cian will void the warranty.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct use

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS –
Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable mate­rials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had suf­ficient time to cool. Among these areas are (identification of areas – for example, the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop).
The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while af-
ter being turned off. There is a potential hazard until the residual heat indicator goes out.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking on high
power. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter, which can ignite on the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance.
When in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat,
which can cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire. Never use the cooktop to heat the room.
Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water. Turn off the cooktop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable fire blanket.
Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing
agent or foam fire extinguisher.
Storage in or on the appliance: Flammable materials should not be
stored in an oven or in the vicinity of the cooktop.
The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire.
Do not flambé under a ventilation hood.
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances in a drawer under the appliance. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resis­tant.
Never heat empty cookware.Do not heat or can food in closed containers, such as tins or
sealed jars, on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the container and cause it to explode.
If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the
cover will ignite, explode or melt if the cooktop is still hot or if turned on inadvertently. Never cover the cooktop with a board, cloth or pro­tective sheet.
If the cooktop is turned on or accidentally turned on or if it is still
hot, metal objects on the cooktop can heat up. Other items may melt or catch fire. Damp lids can become attached to the cooktop by suction. Do not store items on the cooktop! Always turn the cooking zones off after use!
You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. Protect your hands
with heat-resistant pot holders or 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 mixer, near the
cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into con­tact with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation 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 to the ceramic cooktop in
certain circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Hot objects on the residual-heat indicators can damage the elec-
tronics underneath. Do not place hot pots or pans in this area.
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum
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, turn off the appliance immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or alu­minum residues while still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Use pot holders. Allow the ceramic surface to cool down before cleaning with a suitable ceramic cleaning agent.
Pans that boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do not
leave the appliance unattended while it is being used.
Pots and pans with bases with pronounced edges or ridges can
scratch the ceramic surface. Only use pots and pans with smooth bases.
Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
Fire hazard! Loose-fitting or hanging garments can catch fire. Be
sure to wear appropriately fitting clothing when cooking. Never allow loose clothing or flammable materials to come into contact with the cooking zones while the cooking zones are in use.
Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high tem-
peratures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum foil cookware.
The cooktop frame or cooktop edges (on cooktops with beveled
edges) can become hot due to the influence of the following factors: operating duration, high power level(s), large cookware, and the number of cooking zones being used.
Cookware made from aluminum or with an aluminum base can
cause shiny metallic spots. These spots can be removed with ce­ramic glass or stainless steel cleaner (see “Cleaning and Care”, “Cleaning the ceramic surface”).
12
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If residue remains on the cooktop for any length of time, it can
cook into the cooktop and sometimes it is then not possible to re­move it. Remove spills and splatters promptly. Also make sure that the bottom of any cookware is clean, dry, and free of grease before placing it on the cooktop.
Do not use the ceramic surface for preparing food. Always use
suitable cookware.
Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if they
are used to wipe spilled food off a hot cooktop. Some cleansers can emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be careful when cleaning the cooktop.
If the cooktop is damaged, cleansers or spilled food can penetrate
the glass surface and cause a short-circuit. Never cook on a dam­aged cooktop. Contact an electrician immediately.
The cooktop has cooking zones of different sizes. Use cookware
with a level base that is large enough for the cooking zone. Cook­ware that is too small leaves part of the hot cooking zone uncovered, which may cause burns due to touching or ignite clothing. The use of cookware of the right size also makes for better use of the heated ar­eas.
Not any cookware of glass, glass ceramic, ceramic, clay or other
glass cookware is suitable for use on the cooktop. It can be dam­aged due to sudden temperature change.
If the handles of a pot or pan extend across an adjacent cooking
zone, this can cause burns, the ignition of flammable materials and the spilling of food due to inadvertent contact with the cookware. Turn the pot or pan so that the handles point toward the inside and do not extend across an adjacent cooking zone.
13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning and maintenance

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
The steam may reach electrical components and cause a short cir­cuit.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional parts for a minimum of
10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of your cooktop.
14

Before first use

Cleaning the cooktop for the first time

Before first use, wipe down the appli-
ance with a damp cloth and dry it.

Turning on the cooktop for the first time

Metal components are protected by a conditioning agent. Smells and vapor may occur when the appliance is used for the first time.
The smell and any vapors do not indi­cate a faulty connection or a defective appliance and are not harmful to your health.
20

How the cooking zones work

Standard cooking zones have one heat­ing element, while variable 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 heat switches on and the element can be seen through the ceramic surface. The temperature of the cooking zone depends on the power level selected, and is electronically regulated. This controls the “timing” of a cooking zone, switching the element on and off.

Cookware

The most suitable cookware is metal
pots and pans with thick bottoms that, when cold, bulge inwards slightly. On warming, the bottom extends and sits level on the cooking zone; this con­ducts the heat optimally.
Cold Hot
Glass, ceramic or stoneware cookware is less suitable. These materials do not conduct the heat well.
Pots and pans made of synthetic mate­rial or aluminum foil are not suitable. These melt at high temperatures.
Cookware made from aluminum or with an aluminum base can cause shiny metallic spots. These spots can be re­moved with ceramic and stainless-steel cooktop cleaner (see “Cleaning and care”, “Cleaning the ceramic surface”).
- 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.
The composition of the pan bottom can affect the evenness of the cooking re­sults (e.g., when making pancakes).
- To make optimum use of the cooking zones, choose cookware with a suit­able base diameter (see “Overview ­Cooking zone data"”).
- Use only pots and pans with smooth bases. Rough bases can scratch the ceramic glass.
- Always lift the cookware to move it. This will help prevent scratching.
22
- Ensure that the bottoms of pots or pans match the size of the cooking zone or are somewhat larger. This en­sures that heat is not lost unneces­sarily.
- Use a lid whenever possible to mini­mize heat loss.
- For small quantities, select a small pan. A small pan on a small cooking zone uses less energy than a large, only partially filled pan on a large cooking zone.
- Cook with as little water as possible.
- Once food has come to the boil or the pan is hot for frying, reduce the heat to a lower power setting.
- When cooking for a long time, turn the cooking zone off at least 5 or 10minutes before the end of the cooking time. This makes use of the residual heat.

Operation

Fire hazard due to overheated
food. Unattended food can overheat and
ignite. Do not leave the cooktop unattended
whilst it is being used.

Cooking zone controls

The cooktops have different types of controls:
- Control knobs for variable cooking zones and extended zones have a stop point. These must not be turned past the stop to 0.
- Knobs for standard cooking zones can be turned through 360°.

Turning the appliance on

Press the cooking zone knob and for
standard cooking zones turn it to the right or left to the desired setting.
Press the cooking zone knob and for
variable cooking zones turn it to the right to the desired setting.

Turning on the 2nd ring

Press the knob in and turn it to right
past “12” to the stop.
Turn the knob to the left to the re-
quired power level.

Turning the appliance off

Turn the cooking zone knob for stan-
dard cooking zones to the right or to the left to “0”.
Turn the cooking zone knob for vari-
able cooking zones to the left to “0”.
25
Operation

Residual-heat indicator

When after turning on one cooking zone, for example the left front, a speci­fied temperature is reached, the associ­ated 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 amount of time after it is switched off, the cooking zone may still be hot even though the residual-heat indica­tor is no longer on.
Risk of burning or scalding due
to hot cooking zones. The cooking zones will be hot after
use. Do not touch the cooking zones
while the residual heat indicators are on.
Hot objects on the residual-heat indi­cators can damage the electronics underneath.
Do not place hot pots or pans in this area.
26
Each cooking zone is equipped with overheating protection (internal temper­ature limiter). This switches off the cooking zone heating element automat­ically before it overheats. As soon as the cooking zone temperature has cooled sufficiently, heating is switched on again automatically.
The overheating protection may be acti­vated under the following circum­stances:
- No cookware is present on the acti­vated cooking zone.
- The cookware being heated is empty.
- The base of the cookware is not sit­ting evenly on the cooking zone.
- The cookware is not conducting heat properly.
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.

Cleaning and care

Risk of burning or scalding due
to hot cooking zones. The cooking zones will be hot after
use. Turn off the cooktop. Allow the cooktop to cool down be-
fore cleaning.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress. The steam from a steam cleaning ap-
pliance could reach live electrical components and cause a short cir­cuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
All surfaces could be discolored or damaged if unsuitable cleaning agents are used. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching.
Remove all cleaning agent residues immediately.
Do not clean with any abrasive or sharp pointed objects.
Clean the cooktop after every use.Dry the cooktop thoroughly after ev-
ery cleaning to avoid limescale residue.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

To avoid damaging the surfaces of the appliance, do not use:
- liquid dish soap
- cleaning agents containing soda, al­kalis, ammonia, acids, or chlorides
- cleaning agents containing limescale remover
- stain or rust removers
- abrasive cleaning agents, such as scouring powder, scouring liquid, or pumice stones
- cleaning agents containing solvents
- dishwasher cleaning agents
- grill and oven sprays
- glass cleaners
- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges (e.g., pot scourers), or sponges which have been previously used and still contain abrasive cleaning agents
28
- eraser sponges
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the ceramic surface

Risk of damage caused by
pointed objects. The seal between the cooktop and
the countertop could be damaged. The seal between the ceramic sur­face and the frame could be dam­aged.
Do not use pointed objects for clean­ing.
When cleaning with liquid dish soap, not all contaminants and residues are removed. An invisible film forms, which causes discoloration of the ce­ramic. This discoloration cannot be removed.
Clean the ceramic surface regularly with a suitable ceramic cooktop cleaning agent.
First wipe down the surface with a
damp cloth to loosen soiling, then re­move stubborn crusting with a glass scraper.
Then clean the ceramic surface with
the Miele Ceramic and Stainless­Steel Cooktop Cleaner (see “Optional accessories – Cleaning and care products”) or with a proprietary ce­ramic cleaner applied with a paper towel or a clean cloth. Do not put the cleaner on a hot cooktop since this may cause spotting. Please follow the cleaning-agent manufacturer’s in­structions.
Finally wipe the cooktop with a damp
cloth and dry it with a soft, dry cloth.
Residues can burn onto the cooktop the next time it is used and cause damage to the ceramic surface. En­sure that all cleaner residues are re­moved.
Spots caused by limescale, water,
and aluminum residues (spots with a metallic appearance) can be removed using the Miele Ceramic and Stain­less-Steel Cooktop Cleaner.
Risk of burning or scalding due
to hot cooking zones. The cooking zones are hot during
use. Wear pot holders and use a glass
scraper to remove sugar, plastic, or aluminum foil residues from the hot cooktop.
Should any sugar, plastic, or alu-
minum foil spill or fall onto a hot
cooking zones while it is in use, first turn off the cooktop.
Then carefully scrape off these
residues immediately while they are still hot, using a shielded scraper blade.
Afterwards, clean the ceramic surface
in its cooled state, as described above.

Knobs

Clean the knobs with a soft sponge,
warm water, and a small amount of liquid dish soap.

Frequently Asked Questions

With the help of the following guide minor faults in the performance of the ma­chine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remedied with­out contacting the Service Department.
This guide may help you to find the reason for the fault, and how to correct it.
Problem Possible cause and solution
The cooking zones do not heat up.
There is a strange smell or vapors when the ap­pliance is being used for the first time.
The heating element for one of the cooking zones switches on and off.
There is no power to the cooktop. Check if the breaker has tripped. Contact a quali-
fied electrician or Miele Service (for the minimum fuse rating, see data plate).
There may be a technical fault.
Turn the knobs to the 0 position.Disconnect the cooktop from the electricity supply
for approx. 1 minute. To do this: – Trip the relevant breaker or screw the fuse out
completely.
– Trip the ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
If, after resetting/replacing the fuse or the GFCI,
the cooktop will still not turn on, contact a quali­fied electrician or Miele Customer Service.
Metal components are protected by a conditioning agent. Smells and vapor may occur when the appli­ance is used for the first time. The smell and any va­pors do not indicate a faulty connection or a defec­tive appliance and are not harmful to your 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 “Safety features – Overheating pro­tection”).

Safety distances

Safety clearance above the cooktop

For a ventilation hood above the cook­top, always use the clearance specified by the hood manufacturer. If there are no specifications from the hood manu­facturer or if flammable materials (e.g. a utensil rail) are installed above the cooktop, the clearance must be at least 30" (760mm).
Installation
If there is more than one appliance installed below the ventilation hood, each with a different safety clear­ance, the largest clearance must be used.

Safety clearances to the sides and back of the cooktop

Ideally the cooktop should be installed with plenty of space on either side.
The minimum distance shown below must be maintained between the back of the cooktop and a tall unit or wall.
The minimum distance ,  shown below must be maintained between a tall unit or a wall to the left or right of the cooktop with a minimum distance of 113/4"(300mm) on the opposite side.
minimum distance between the back of the counter cut-out and the rear edge of the counter: 2"(50mm)
minimum distance to the right of the counter cut-out to the closest adjacent piece of cabinetry (for instance, a high cabinet) or a room wall: 2"(50mm)
minimum distance to the left of the counter cut-out to the closest adjacent piece of cabinetry (for instance, a high cabinet) or a room wall: 2"(50mm)

Protective base

Installation of a protective base under the cooktop is allowed but not required.
If an interim shelf is fitted under the cooktop, there must be a minimum gap
of 45/16" (110mm) between the top of the countertop and the top of the shelf.
Leave a gap of 5/16“ (10mm) at the back of the shelf to accommodate the cable. If the cooktop has an external power connection box, the minimum
gap is 13/8” (35mm).

Safety distance from the wall covering

If a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained be­tween the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures can dam­age these materials.
If the covering is made of a combustible material (such as wood), the distance be­tween the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be a minimum of 2" (50mm).
For coverings made of non-combustible materials (such as metal, marble, granite, ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be 2“ (50 mm) minus the thickness of the covering. For ex­ample: thickness of wall covering 2” (50mm) - ⁹/₁₆“ (15mm) = minimum safety dis­tance 1⁷/₁₆” (35mm).

Installation notes

Seal between cooktop and counter­top
Damage caused by incorrect in-
stallation. Using sealant under the cooktop
could result in damage to the cook­top and the countertop if the cook­top ever needs to be removed for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the cooktop and the countertop. The sealing strip under the edge of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for the countertop.

Tiled countertop

Grout lines and the shaded area un­der the cooktop frame must be smooth and even. If they are not, the cooktop will not sit flush with the countertop and the sealing strip underneath the cook­top will not provide a good seal be­tween the cooktop and the countertop.

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 countertop

Create the countertop cut-out. Re-
member to maintain the minimum safety distances (see “Installation” – “Safety distances”).

Wooden countertops

Seal any cut surfaces on the wooden
countertop with a special varnish, sili­cone rubber, or resin to prevent the wood from swelling as a result of moisture. The sealant must be tem­perature-resistant.
Ensure that the sealant does not get on the top surface of the countertop.
The sealing strip ensures that the cooktop will sit securely in the cut-out without slipping. Any gap between the trim and countertop will become smaller over time.

Securing the spring clamps

The exact positioning of the spring clamps is shown in the individual cooktop diagrams.

Wooden countertops

Position the spring clamps on the
top edge of the cut-out as shown in the cooktop illustration.
Fasten the spring clamps using the
13/8“ (3.5)x1” (25mm) wood screws supplied with the appliance.
43
*INSTALLATION*
Installation

Granite and marble countertops

You will need heavy-duty double-sided adhesive tape (not included with the cooktop) to fasten the spring clamps.
Attach the adhesive tape along the
top edge of the cut-out in the posi­tions shown in the cooktop illustra­tion.
Position the spring clamps on the top
edge of the cut-out and press them firmly into place.

Installing the cooktop

Feed the appliance power cord down
through the counter cut-out.
Position the cooktop in the counter
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 countertop on all sides. This is important to ensure an effective seal all round.
If during installation the seal around the frame does not sit flush with the countertop in the corners, the corner radius, maximum 3/16" (≤R4/ 4mm), can be carefully filed down to fit.
Do not use any additional sealant (e.g. silicone).
Connect the cooktop to the electrical
power supply.
Coat the side edges and the lower
edges of the spring clamps with sili­cone.

Check that the cooktop works.
The cooktop can only be removed us­ing a special tool.
