IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Personal safety
When in use, the appliance may
become very hot and remain so for
a while after the cooktop has been
turned off. There is a danger of burning
until the residual heat indicators go out.
Use potholders when working with
a hot appliance. Use only dry, heat
resistant potholders. Moist or damp
potholders used on hot surfaces can
result in steam burns.
Do not heat unopened food cans
on the cooktop. Built-up pressure
may cause the container to burst and
result in injury.
Do not place objects other than
pots and pans on the cooktop. Be
especially careful not to place knives,
forks or spoons etc, or other metallic
items on the cokktop. If the cooktop is
switched on, or if there is residual heat
present, the metallic items can heat up

melt or burn if placed on the cooktop.
Switch the cooktop off after use.
Never cover the cooktop with a
cloth or foil. Danger of fire!
Never leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil
or fat. Overheated fat or oil could ignite
and set the venting hoods on fire.
Always heat oil slowly, monitoring it as it
heats. This is a fire hazard.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother any fire or flame, or use a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Do not flambé under an exhaust
hood. Flames could be drawn up
into the hood by the suction or the
grease filter may ignite.
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.
Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
garments when operating the
cooktop, they may present a hazard.

Induction
Function
An induction coil is installed beneath
each burner. If a burner is turned on,
the coil produces a magnetic field,
which operates directly on the
cookware bottom and heats it. The
burner is indirectly heated by the heat
radiated from the pot.
Burners with induction operate only
when cookware with a magnetizable
bottom is placed on them, see
"Selecting cookware".
The induction considers automatically
the size of the placed cookware, which
means it operates only in the area of
the surface covered by the cookware
bottom.
The burner does not operate
– when turned on without or with
unsuitable cookware (cookware
without magnetizable bottom).
– when the bottom diameter of the
placed cookware is too small.
If suitable cookware is placed on the
burner within 3 minutes, the ß symbol
goes out.
If no or unsuitable cookware is used,
the burner and cooktop are turned off
automatically after 3 minutes.
Do not place knives, forks or spoons
etc., or other metallic items on the
cooktop. If the cooktop is switched
on, or if there is residual heat
present, the metallic items can heat
up and cause burning. Remember
that metallic items can cause the
burner to heat up unintentionally!
Switch the cooktop off after use.
–
when the cookware is removed from
a turned on burner.
The symbol ß alternating with 0 or the
last set power level will flash in the
burner display.
15
Page 16
Induction
Sounds
When operating induction burners, the
following sounds can occur depending
on the material of the cookware base:
Buzzing can be heard at high power
–
levels. It will quiet down or go out,
when the power level is turned down.
Crackling occurs when the
–
cookware has a base made from
several materials, e.g. sandwich
bottom.
Whistling can occur, when
–
connected burners (see "Booster
function) are operated on the highest
power level and cookware with a
base made from several materials
are used.
– Clicking can occur during electronic
switching operations, especially at
lower power levels.
– Whizzing: To extend the electronic
durability, the appliance is fitted with
a cooling fan. If the cooktop is
intensively used, the fan is turned on
and a whirring sounds. The cooling
fan will continue to run after the
cooktop was turned off.

–
bottom
Enameled steel
–
Cast iron
–
Unsuitable cookware
Stainless steel with non magnetizable
–
bottom
Aluminum, copper
–
Glass, ceramic, earthenware
–
If in doubt, whether cookware is
suitable for use on the induction, check
by holding a magnet on the cookware
bottom. If the magnet sticks, the
cookware is suitable.
To prevent damage to the cooktop
do not use pots and pans with thin
bases on this cooktop. Never heat
an empty pan unless the pan
manufacturer states that you can do
so.
Cookware size
For optimum burner use, select the size
of the cookware so it fits between the
inner and outer marking of the burner. If
the pot is smaller than the inner
marking, the induction may not operate.
The burner reacts, as if no cookware
was placed on it.
Please note that cookware diameters
given by the manufacturer are usually
the maximum/upper diameter. For use
on the burner the (usually smaller)
bottom diameter is important.
Energy saving tips
Using a lid while cooking will minimize
the loss of heat and decrease cooking
time.

Booster function
All burners are equipped with a booster
function. If the booster function (a
power boost) is selected, the burners
will operate for 10 minutes on the
highest power level (12). The booster
function is designed to boil large
volumes of water quickly, e.g. to cook
pasta. Two booster functions can be
used at the same time.
If the cookware is removed during
auto-heat, the auto-heat phase will be
interrupted. It will be continued, when
the cookware is replaced on the burner
(within 3 minutes).
The booster power can only be
provided, by taking power from other
burners during the booster time.
Therefore two burners are networked as
shown:
Turning the booster on causes:
a selected auto-heat on the
–
networked burners to be turned off.
The power level of the related burner
–
will be reduced. The selected and
the reduced power level flash
alternately until the booster function
has turned off. The reduced power
level is also shown by the number of
segments in the lighting cycle.
Turning the booster on
Touch the sensor B of the respective
^
burner.
The burner display shows power level
12 and the booster indicator lights.
After 10 minutes the power level will
automatically reduced to power back to
level 12 again.
To turn off the booster ahead of time
^ Touch the sensor B or - of the
respective burner.

When cleaning the cooktop, make
sure the cooktop is "Off", and be
careful not to accidentally turn it
"On".
Under no circumstances should a
steam cleaner be used to clean this
appliance. 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.
Cooktop care
The ceramic surface should be
^
cleaned regularly with a cleaner for
ceramic surfaces. Follow the ceramic
cleaner manufacturer’s instructions. If
you have difficulty locating a suitable
product contact Miele.
Before cleaning allow the cooktop to
^
cool. Wipe spills using a damp
sponge. Stubborn spills are best
removed with a shielded scraper
blade.
To remove any limescale deposits or
^
metallic residue apply ceramic
cleanser using a soft cloth or use a
shielded scraper blade if necessary.
^ A cleaner with a special additive to
prevent water marks and smears on
the ceramic surface may be used.
Never use scouring agents, pads,
abrasive cleaning agents or strong
cleaners, e.g. oven sprays, stain or
rust removers, as these could
damage the surface of the
appliance.
After cleaning, thoroughly dry the
ceramic surface with a soft cloth to
prevent a build up of limescale
deposits.
^ After cleaning, wipe the ceramic
surface with a damp cloth to remove
any residue. Cleaner residues could
damage the cooktop or create toxic
fumes when heated. Finally, dry the
cooktop with a clean soft cloth.
^
Any melted solids (e.g. sugar, plastic,
syrup, aluminum foil, etc.) should be
removed as quickly as possible and
while the burner is still warm. If they
are allowed to harden, the cooktop
may become pitted. Scrape the
melted item off the cooktop using a
shielded scraper blade. Once the
cooktop has cooled, remove any
remaining residue using a ceramic
cooktop cleaner.
