IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety

DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKING

AREA OR THE VICINITY AROUND THE COOKING AREA - During operation, the cooking area and its surroundings will get hot and can cause burns. When the cooktop is shut off, the surface may remain hot enough to cause harm, even though the glow is not visible through the dark glass. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the cooking area or the vicinity around the cooking area until they have had sufficient time to cool. As long as the surface temperature is high enough to cause a burn, the Residual Heat Indicator will remain lit. Once sufficient time has passed the indicator will go out and the surface is safe to touch.

Protect your hands with oven mitts

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 heat unopened containers.

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

Do not flambé under an exhaust

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

Never use the appliance to heat a

room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the appliance could catch fire.

Do not store items on the appliance

when not in use. Items could melt or catch fire from residual heat or if the appliance is turned on inadvertently. Always switch the cooking zone(s) off after use.

Never cover the burner with a cloth

or protective oven foil. If inadvertently turned on or if there is residual heat, a fire could result.

Be aware of loose fitting or hanging

garments when operating the appliance, they may present a fire hazard.

Never leave an appliance

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 store aerosols, combustibles

or any other easily flammable materials underneath or adjacent to the appliance.

Do not use water on grease fires.

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Make certain that the power cords of

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

The control panel and/or the areas

around the cooktop (the cooktop frames or surrounding (in the case of facet cooktops) may become hot due to the following factors: operating time, high output settings, large cook ware, and number of burners in operation.

Be careful not to drop anything on

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

Use the proper pan size. Select

cookware with flat bottoms large enough to cover the heating element. Using undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element and may result in ignition of clothing or handles becoming hot. The proper size pot or pan will also improve efficiency.

Do not use pots or pans with

pronounced edges or ridges on the ceramic cooktop. These could scratch the cooktop permanently. See "Selecting 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.

To prevent damage to the cooktop

do not use pots and pans with thin bases on the cooktop. Never heat an empty pan unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so.

Before using glass, glass/ceramic,

ceramic, earthenware or other glazed cookware verify that they can be used on a cooking surface.

Do not use plastic or aluminum foil

cookware. It melts at high temperatures. Fire hazard.

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.

Keep the cooktop clean. Grains of

salt and sand can cause scratches.

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.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

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

Do not allow either 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Any spills should be removed as

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

Aluminum cookware or cookware

with aluminum base can cause shiny metallic spots. These spots can be removed with ceramic glass or stainless steel cleaner (see "Cleaning and Care").

Never heat up an empty pot, unless

the manufacturer explicitly allows this can be done! Failure to comply can result in a damaged cooktop.

NEVER set down hot pots or pans in

the area of the control panel. This can damage the underlying electronics.

If the cooktop built in behind a

cabinet door, it should only be operated with the door open. Close the door only when the appliance is shut off and the Residual Heat indicators have gone out.

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.

Do not use liquid dish soap to clean the cooktop, this may cause permanent blue discolorations.

Heat the cooktop

Only for facet cooktops: A small gap between the cooktop and the work surface may be visible in the first days of operation. It will become smaller during use. Despite this small gap, the electrical safety of your appliance is always ensured.

Metal components of the appliance 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.

How the burners operate

One-zone burners use one heating strip; two-zone burners and grill zones have two heating strips. Depending on the model, the heating strips may be separated by a ring.

Each burner has overheating protection (internal temperature limiter) feature to prevent the ceramic glass from overheating (see "Overheat protection").

When a power level is set, the heat element turns on and the heating strip is visible through the ceramic glass.

The power setting determines how hot the burner will get, and is electronically regulated. This means that the burner will switch on and off as needed to maintain the selected power level.

Use

Do not touch any burner or place any heat-sensitive items on a burner as long as the residual heat indicators are lit up. Danger of burning!

After a power failure the residual heat indicator will flash.

Selecting cookware

Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth

–

bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms will also work adequately. Pans with convex bottoms will not cook well.

cold hot

Cast iron, glass or stoneware should

–

not be used because they have poor heat transfer and may scratch the cooktop surface.

– Also unsuitable is plastic or

aluminum foil cookware. These melt at high temperatures.

– 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.

–

Use only pots and pans with flat bases. Sharp pot and pan bases scratch the ceramic glass surface.

–

Lift the cookware when moving it. In this way you will avoid streaking from friction and scratching.

Energy saving tips

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.

too small fits

Whenever possible, keep pots and

–

pans closed while cooking. This helps keep in the most possible heat.

open closed

– Use a small pot for small amounts. A

small pot on a small burner needs less energy then a larger partly filled pot on a large burner.

–

Use little water when cooking and take care to select a lower energy level as soon as cooking is completed.

–

For longer cooking periods, you can switch off the cooking zone 5 to 10 minutes before the total cooking time is completed. The residual heat will continue to cook the food.

The cooktop must be turned on to use

the timer.

The timer can be used for two different functions:

To time kitchen activities

–

To set a burner to turn off

–

automatically.

You can select a time from 1 minute (01) to 9 hours (9^).

A time up to 99 minutes is set and displayed in minutes. Example:

With a time of more than 99 minutes, the timer must be turned to hours. The time is set in half-hour increments. The half hour is indicated by a dot after the number. Example (2 hours 30 minutes):

* Power levels with a "+" are only available with the extended power-level settings (see "Programming").

Overheat protection

Each burner is equipped with a temperature limiter. This feature automatically turns off the heating element before the glass ceramic surface becomes too hot.

When the overheat protection is triggered, the heating element turns on and off even at the highest power level.

Once the glass ceramic surface has cooled to a safe temperature the heating element will automatically turn back on.

The overheat protection is activated by:

– turning a burner on without putting a

pan on it.

– heating an empty pan.

– a pan with an uneven bottom not

sitting evenly on the burner.

Safety features

– the pan not conducting heat

properly.

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.

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.

The ceramic surface can be cleaned using a cleaner for ceramic surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Make sure that no cleaner residue remains on the ceramic surface by carefully wiping the cooktop with a damp cloth. They may damage the cooktop or produce toxic fumes when heated.

Be sure that pot and pan bases are clean and dry.

Clean any spills immediately before they become difficult to remove.

Clean the appliance regularly, preferably after each use. Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.

Ceramic surfaces

Wipe off any soiling using a damp

cloth. Stubborn soiling is best removed with a shielded scraper blade.

Apply a ceramic cleaner (available

from Miele) using a soft cloth or paper towel.

^ To remove any limescale deposits or

metallic residue apply a ceramic cleaner using a soft cloth or use a shielded scraper blade if necessary.

^ After cleaning wipe the ceramic

surface with a damp cloth and dry.

A cleaner with a special additive to prevent water marks and smears on the ceramic surface may be used.

Any melted solids like sugar, plastic or aluminum foil should be removed as quickly as possible, while the burner is still warm. If they are allowed to harden the cooktop may become pitted.

To prevent accidents and appliance damage read these instructions

before

installation or use.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION 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 countertop must be bonded

with heat resistant (212°F/100°C) adhesive to prevent distortion or dissolving. Any back splashes should also be heat-resistant.

The cooktop must not be installed

over a dishwasher, washer, dryer, refrigerator or freezer. Heat radiated by the cooktop may damage them.

This appliance has not been

designed for maritime (e.g. ships) 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.

You must ensure the power cable

for the appliance will not come into contact with the floor panel after installation, nor be subject to any mechanical strain.

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".

The safety distances specified in

these instructions must be followed carefully.

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire

by reaching over heated surfaces cabinet storage space above the appliance 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" (127 mm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

Keep this instruction book in a safe place for reference and pass it on to any future user.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety distance from divider

Installation of a divider under the cooktop is not required.

If a divider is fitted under the cooktop, the distance between the upper edge of the work surface and the upper edge of the divider must be at least4½" (110 mm).

A gap of at least 1 3/8"" (35 mm) must be provided between the rear edge of the divider and the rear wall of the cabinet so that the power cord can be passed through.

Safety distances above the appliance

The minimum safety distance given by the hood manufacturer must be maintained between the cooktop and the hood above it. See the installation instructions of the hood for these safety measurements.

If the hood manufacturer's instructions are not available or if flammable objects are installed over the cooktop (e.g. cabinets, utensil rail, etc.), a minimum safety distance of 30" (760 mm) must be maintained.

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 observe the greater distance.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety distances to the sides of the appliance

The appliance should only be installed as shown in the illustrations, while maintaining the required safety distances shown. Do not install the appliance between two tall cabinets, this is a fire hazard.

not allowed

a 1 5/8" (40 mm) minimum distance

from the countertop cut-out to the rear edge of countertop or wall.

b Minimum distance from the right of

the countertop cut-out to the closest adjacent piece of furniture (for instance, a high cabinet) or a room wall. KM 5840 = 2" (50 mm) KM 5860 / KM 5880 = 4" (100 mm)

c 2" (50 mm) minimum distance from

the left of the countertop cut-out to the closest adjacent piece of furniture (for instance, a high cabinet) or a room wall.

Installation

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 or ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance e 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 9/16" (15 mm) 2" (50 mm) - 9/16" (15 mm) = minimum safety distance 1 3/8" (35 mm).
