16
Selecting cookware
Following these tips will allow you to
make the most of your ceramic
cooktop.
The cooking surface
The ceramic cooktop is made of an
extremely hard and durable material.
The surface is scratch resistant, not
scratch proof. Avoid using cookware
with ridged bottoms. Ridged pots with
dirty or chipped enamel bottoms may
scratch the cooktop if they are pulled
across the ceramic surface.
Make sure the cooktop and pot bottoms
are clean before cooking. Certain
items, particularly sugar grains or
crystallized liquids such as molasses or
syrups are harder than ceramic and
can scratch the surface if they are not
cleaned off immediately. Small or light
scratches will not affect the safety or
performance of the cooktop.
The burner rings and touch controls are
fused into the ceramic glass and are
resistant to wear if properly maintained.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads,
as they may eventually wear off the
rings.
Pots and pans
Special cookware is not required, but
as is true with all types of cooking
appliances, the better the cookware,
the better the performance.
For the most even and energy
–
efficient cooking, the diameter of the
pots/pans should match the diameter
of the burners as closely as possible.
– Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth
bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms
will also work adequately. Pans with
convex bottoms will not cook well.
–
Using a lid while cooking will
minimize the loss of heat and
decrease the cooking time.
17
Selecting cookware
Copper bottom and aluminum pans
may leave a residue on the cooktop in
the form of metallic lines. This is normal.
These lines can be removed using a
non-abrasive ceramic cooktop cleaner
or a shielded scraper blade.
Be sure to clean the cooktop after
each use. Each time this residue is
allowed to melt it becomes harder to
remove and may mar the
appearance of the cooktop.
Let the cooktop cool before
cleaning.
Cast iron, glass or stoneware should
not be used because they have poor
heat transfer and may scratch the
cooktop surface.
18

Cleaning and Care
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. Steam could
penetrate electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurized
steam could cause permanent
damage to the surface and to
components for which the
manufacturer cannot accept
responsibility.
Do not use any sharp pointed
objects which could damage the
seal between the ceramic surface,
the surrounding frame and the
countertop.
Never use abrasive cleaners, caustic
(oven) cleaners, dishwasher
detergent, scouring pads, steel wool
or hard brushes. They will damage
the surface.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Note to the installer:
Please leave this instruction book
with the consumer for the local
electrical inspector’s use.
The minimum distances given in
these Installation Instructions must
be observed in order to ensure safe
operation. Failure to do so increases
the risk of fire.
The cabinetry and venting hood
should be installed first to prevent
damage to the cooktop.
The cooktop can only be installed
as shown in the illustrations while
maintaining the required safety
distances shown. Do not install the
cooktop between two tall cabinets, this
is a fire hazard.
recommended
A minimum distance of 2" (50 mm)
from the cooktop to the rear wall and
a side wall must be maintained for
safety.
The countertop must be bonded
with heat resistant (212 °F/100 °C)
adhesive to prevent distortion and
dissolving.
The cooktop must not be installed
over a dishwasher, refrigerator or
freezer. Heat radiated by the cooktop
may damage them.

not recommended
not allowed
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire
by reaching over heated surfaces,
cabinet storage space above the
cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet
storage is necessary, the risk can be
reduced by installing a venting hood to
project horizontally a minimum of 5"
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Because of the heat radiated it is
not recommend to install the
cooktop above a drawer. It should be
installed above a cabinet base unit with
a dummy drawer front. A protective
base should also be installed between
the dummy drawer and the cooktop.
This appliance is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as recreational
vehicles or aircraft. However, under
certain conditions it may be possible for
installation in these applications. Please
contact the Miele Technical Service
Department with specific requirements.
The cooktop must not be
permanently sealed into the
countertop when installed. The sealing
strip under the edge of the cooktop
provides a sufficient seal for the
countertop. See "Sealing".
Safety distance above the
appliance
As a general rule there must be a safety
distance of at least 30" (760 mm)
between the appliance and any
objects above it, e.g. cabinetry, venting
hood, etc. If the manufacturer of these
items states a different figure, always
adhere to the greater distance. These
measurements should be given in their
operating and installation instructions.
If there is more than one appliance
beneath a hood, e.g. wok burner
and electric cooktop and they have
different minimum safety distances
always select the greater distance.
