This appliance complies with all relevant local and national safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before installation and before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on the installation, safety, operation and care of the appliance.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.

Correct application

This appliance is intended for

domestic use for the 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 of the appliance.

This appliance is not intended for

use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Warning and safety instructions

Safety with children

Use the safety lock to prevent

children operating the appliance or altering the settings.

Children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

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. They must be aware of the potential dangers caused by incorrect operation.

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.

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.

Keep all pans out of reach of

children. Turn pan handles inwards away from the edge of the cooktop. Danger of burning or scalding. Special cooktop 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.

Warning and safety instructions

Technical safety

Before installation, check the

appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance is dangerous.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with 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).

Before connecting the appliance,

make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

For safety reasons, this appliance

may only be used after it has been built in.

Never open the housing of the

appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

Installation, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

During installation, maintenance and

repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– the mains fuse is disconnected,

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable),

– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug is withdrawn from the socket, or it is switched off at the isolator.

While the appliance is under

guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

Warning and safety instructions

If the connection cable is damaged,

it must be replaced by a suitably qualified electrician with a specialist connection cable of type H 05 VV-F (pvc insulated), available from the Miele Spare Parts Department.

Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

This appliance is not intended to be

operated by means of an external timer or separate remote control-system.

Do not use the cooktop if it is faulty,

or if the ceramic surface is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Switch it off immediately, and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Danger of electric shock.

In 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 caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Correct use

For people fitted with a heart

pacemaker: Please note that the area immediately surrounding the cooktop is electromagnetically charged, and that it is very unlikely to affect a pacemaker. However, if in any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor.

To prevent damage to items which

are susceptible to magnetic fields, e.g. credit cards, diskettes, pocket calculators etc, do not leave them in the immediate vicinity of the cooktop.

The appliance gets 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.

Do not leave the appliance

unattended whilst it is in use. Pans that have boiled dry can cause damage to the ceramic surface for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable. Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause a fire.

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.

Warning and safety instructions

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 flambé under a rangehood.

The flames could set the rangehood on fire.

Do not use the appliance as a

resting place for anything else. Take particular care never to place cutlery or other metal objects on the appliance. When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of metal objects heating up, with a danger of burning. Depending on the material, other objects left on the cooktop could also melt or catch fire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult to dislodge. Switch the cooking zones off after use.

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.

Do not heat up unopened tins of

food on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode. This could result in injury and scalding or damage.

Do not use pots and pans on the

ceramic cooktop with bases with pronounced edges or or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans. These could scratch or scour the cooktop surface permanently.

Never heat an empty pan unless the

manufacturer of the pan expressly states that you can do so. Because induction heating works extremely quickly the base of the pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time.

Keep the cooktop clean. Grains of

salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can cause scratches.

Never place hot pans on the area

around the controls. This could damage the electronic unit underneath.

Do not drop anything on the ceramic

surface. Even a light object could cause damage in certain circumstances.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil

containers. These melt at high temperatures, and could catch fire.

Warning and safety instructions

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 cooktop whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scaper 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. Once the residues have been removed, allow the appliance to cool down, and then clean with a suitable proprietary ceramic cooktop cleaner.

When using an electric socket near

the cooktop, care should be taken that the cable of the electrical appliance does not come into contact with a hot cooking zone. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

Metal utensils stored in a drawer

under the cooktop can become hot if the induction cooktop is used intensively for a long time.

Always ensure that food is

sufficiently cooked or reheated. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at a sufficiently high temperature for long enough. Therefore, when cooking or reheating food such as poultry, it is particularly important that the food is completely cooked through. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

If the cooktop is built in over a

pyrolitic oven, the cooktop should not be used whilst the pyrolitic process is being carried out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the cooktop (see relevant section).

This appliance is fitted with a

cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the cooktop. Do not store pointed or small items or paper in the drawer. They could get in through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the housing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other

inflammable substances must not be stored in a drawer under the cooktop. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

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.

Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances / machines 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 or machine. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old machine or appliance 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 the appliance or the machine to prevent misuse.

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 "After sales service" section of this booklet.

Cleaning for the first time

Remove any protective wrapping and stickers.

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.

On cooktops with bevelled glass edges, a small gap may be visible between the cooktop 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.

Metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight smell when heated up for the first time.

The smell and any fumes given off do not mean that the appliance is defective or has been wrongly installed, and they are not harmful to health.

Before using for the first time

Recalibration of the sensor controls

Automatic recalibration

To ensure trouble free operation, the sensor controls

recalibrate when the appliance is first

–

connected to the mains electricity supply and after any interruption to the power supply. During automatic recalibration the safety lock indicator lamp is lit and the cooktop can not be switched on.

– adjust themselves constantly to the

surrounding conditions.

If the automatic recalibration was not successful, the cooking zone displays front left and front right will show an A, rear left an F. The cooking zone display rear right and the Timer/Memory display will show numbers.

If this is the case, recalibration will have to be carried out manually.

Manual recalibration

Make sure that there is no direct light

(from the sun or from an artificial source) falling onto the cooktop. The area surrounding the cooktop 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 controls or the cooktop. Take any pans off the cooktop and wipe away any food deposits.

^ Interrupt the power supply to the

cooktop for approx. 1 minute.

Reconnect the cooktop to the electricity supply. The electronic unit will reset the sensitivity levels of the sensor controls.

If this does not solve the problem please call the Miele Customer Contact Center.

Induction

Principle

An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When a zone is switched on this coil creates a magnetic field which generates heat in the base of the pan on it. The cooking zone itself is heated up indirectly by the heat given off by the pan.

Induction cooking zones will only react to pans with a magnetic base (see "Pans").

Induction recognizes the size of the pan, this means that it will only work in the area covered by the base of the pan.

The cooking zone will not work,

– if it is switched on without a pan in

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

– if the bottom diameter of the pan is

too small.

If a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone with 3 minutes, ß will go out and you can proceed as usual.

If no pan, or an unsuitable pan, is placed on the zone, it will switch off automatically after 3 minutes.

Take particular care never to place cutlery or other metal objects on the cooktop. When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of metal items heating up with the danger of burning. Switch the cooking zones off after use, do not rely on the pan detector.

– if the pan is removed from the

cooking zone.

In this case in the cooking zone display the symbol ß will start flashing, alternating with 0 or the last selected power setting.
