A small gap will be visible between cooktop and countertop for the first days after installation. The gap will decrease as the cooktop is used. The electrical safety of your appliance is warrantied despite the small gap.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use

Only use the cooktop for residential

cooking, and for the purposes described in this manual. Other uses are not permitted and can be dangerous. The manufacturer will not be held liable for damage caused by unauthorized use or improper operation of any kind.

Persons who lack physical, sensory

or mental abilities, or experience with the appliance should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.

Individuals with a pacemaker or

similar medical device: Please note that an electromagnetic field develops when the cooktop is turned on. Although unlikely that this will affect a pacemaker or other medical device, please consult the device manufacturer or your doctor if you have concerns.

Keep magnetized items, e.g. credit

cards, disks, etc. away from the cooktop while in operation. Damage may result.

Do not use the appliance until it has

been properly installed in the countertop.

This appliance is equipped with an

overheating protection feature. See "Overheating protection" for more information.

cookware. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

If the cooktop is installed above a

pyrolytic oven it should not be used during the pyrolytic process. The overheating protection feature of the cooktop might be activated.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Injury prevention

Children should not be left

unattended in an area where the cooktop is in use. Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop. Caution: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the cooktop. Children climbing on the cooktop to reach these items could be injured.

Use the Child Safety Lock to prevent

children from turning on the burners or changing the settings. See "Child Safety lock" for more information.

Keep all pots and pans out of

children's reach. Danger of burning or scalding.

Do not touch the cooktop or the

surrounding areas during or immediately after use. The cooktop may be hot even though it is dark in color. Wait until the residual heat indicators go out.

Be aware of loose fitting or hanging

clothing when operating the cooktop, they may present a fire hazard.

Pot and pan handles should be

turned inward and not extend over the countertop to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spills.

Never leave a cooktop unattended

at high settings or when cooking with oil or fat. Overheated oil could ignite. Always heat oil slowly, monitoring it as it heats.

Do not use water on grease fires.

Smother or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher on any fire or flame.

When frying food make sure that the

food is as dry as possible before placing it in oil. Moisture can cause hot oil to splatter and boil over. At high settings, be cautious of splattering grease or boiling over liquids which may produce smoke.

Protect your hands with insulated

gloves or potholders when using the appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces can result in steam burns. Do not let the potholder touch the hot heating elements. Do not use towels or other bulky items near the appliance.

Do not flambé under an exhaust

hood. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction and the grease filters may ignite.

Do not heat unopened containers.

Built-up pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before removing pots and pans be

sure to turn off the burners.

To prevent burns and breathing

difficulty, allow the cooktop to cool before cleaning. Some cleaners may produce toxic fumes if applied to a hot surface.

When wiping spills on a hot cooktop

with a wet sponge or cloth, be careful to avoid steam burns.

Do not let flammable materials,

i.e. cooking grease, accumulate on the appliance.

Never cover the cooktop with a

cloth. A fire may result.

Do not place items other than pots

and pans on the cooktop.

Flammable materials should not be

stored on or near the appliance.

The cooktop is fitted with a cooling

fan. Drawers under the cooktop are not recommended. If a drawer is fitted directly underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer, its contents and the underside of the appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the cooktop. Do not store small items or paper in the drawer. They could get sucked into the housing by the fan and cause damage or impair cooling. Ensure that no aerosols, combustible liquids or other flammable materials are kept in this drawer. If cutlery inserts are to be placed in the drawer they must be made of heat-resistant material.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Damage protection

Never place hot pots or pans on the

touch controls, this may damage the electronics.

Do not drop anything on the ceramic

surface of the cooktop. Even lightweight objects may cause damage.

Do not use pots or pans with

pronounced edges or ridges on the ceramic cooktop. These could scratch the cooktop permanently. See "Cookware" for more information. Grains of salt and sand can cause scratches. Make sure that the bases of any pots and pans are clean, free of any fat or oils, and are dry.

Do not allow solid or liquid sugar,

pieces of plastic or foil to fall on the burners when they are hot. If these residues are allowed to cool on the ceramic surface pitting or even cracking may occur.

Any spills should be removed as

quickly as possible to prevent them from burning on and becoming difficult to remove.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

this appliance. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Appliance safety

In the event of any damage to the

appliance, it must be turned off immediately and disconnected from the main power supply. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department. Do not use the appliance until it has been repaired. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until repair work is completed.

Do not cook on a damaged cooktop.

Any breakages or cracks in the ceramic surface of the appliance are defects and must be treated as such. If the cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spills may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Do not use the appliance until it has been repaired.

Repairs should only be performed

by qualified technicians to ensure safety. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Do not open the outer casing of the appliance under any circumstances.

Further safety notes

Make certain that the power cords of

small appliances do not come in contact with the cooktop. The insulation of the cable could become damaged. Danger of electric shock!

Keep pets away from the cooktop at

all times and activate the Safety Lock. If a pet gets on the cooktop a touch control sensor could be activated turning on a burner.

Induction

How it works

An induction coil is located under each burner. When a burner is switched on, this coil creates a magnetic field which impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats it up. The burner itself is heated indirectly by the heat given off by the pan.

Induction burners only work when a magnetic based pan is placed on it (see "Cookware").

Induction automatically recognizes the size of the pan, i.e. heat is only generated in the area covered by the base of the pan.

The burner will not work:

– if it is switched on without a pan in

place, or if the pan is unsuitable (non-magnetic base).

– if the diameter of the pan is too small.

– if the pan is taken off the burner

when it is switched on.

If a suitable pan is placed on the burner within 3 minutes, the ß will go out and you can continue cooking as normal.

If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed on the burner, the burner and the cooktop will switch off automatically after 3 minutes.

Be careful not to place cutlery or other metal objects on the cooktop. When the appliance is switched on, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of metal objects heating up quickly. Beware of burns. Depending on the material, other objects left on the cooktop could also melt or catch fire. Switch the burners off after use.

If this happens, ß will flash in the relevant burner display alternating with 0 or the last selected power level selected.

Induction

Noises

When using an induction burner, the following noises can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and how it is constructed.

Higher power settings may cause a

–

buzz. This will decrease or cease altogether when the power setting is reduced.

If the pan base is made of layers of

–

different materials (e.g. a sandwiched base), a cracking sound may be heard.

– Whistling might occur if linked

burners (see "Booster function") are being used on the highest setting at the same time, and the pans have bases made of layers of different materials.

– You may hear a clicking sound from

the electronic switches, especially on lower settings.

The appliance has a cooling fan to help extend the life of the electronics. When the cooktop is being used at high levels for a long period of time, this will come on and you will hear a whirring sound. The fan may continue to run after the appliance has been switched off.

Induction

Cookware

Suitable pans include:

stainless steel pans with a magnetic

–

base

enameled steel pans

–

cast iron pans

–

Unsuitable pans:

stainless steel pans without a

–

magnetic base

aluminum and copper pans

–

glass, ceramic or earthenware pots

–

and pans

To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an induction cooktop, hold a magnet to the base of the pan. If the magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.

Unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so, do not use pans with very thin bases on this cooktop, and never heat up empty pans. This could damage the appliance and cookware.

Pan size

To make optimum use of the burners, choose cookware that fits between the inner and outer marking of the burner. If the base diameter of the pan is smaller than the inner marking, the induction heating will not work. The burner will behave as if it had no pan on it.

Before using for the first time

Clean the cooktop

Before using for the first time, clean

the appliance with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.

Heat the cooktop

Metal components of the cooktop have a protective coating which may give off a slight odor the first time the appliance is heated.

The smell will dissipate after a short time and does not indicate a faulty connection or appliance defect.
