the voltage and frequency listed on the rating label correspond with the household electrical supply. To prevent injury and appliance damage, these data must match. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

Do not use an extension cord to

connect this appliance to the electrical supply. Extension cords do not ensure the required safety of the appliance.

Install the appliance so that the

power cord does not come into contact with any portion of the cooktop which may become hot during use.

Do not use the appliance until it has

been properly installed in the countertop.

Before servicing, disconnect the

appliance from the main power supply.

Do not operate any appliance with a

damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance has been damaged in any manner. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department.

Under no circumstances open the

outer casing of the appliance.

While the appliance is under

warranty repairs should only be performed by an authorized service technician. Otherwise the warranty is void.

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.

Defective components should be

replaced by Miele original spare parts only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.

Do not cook on a broken 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.

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.

* These settings are merely guidelines. A higher setting is required for deep pots, larger quantities

or when cooking without a lid. For smaller quantities, select a lower setting.

Cooking with Auto-heat

When Auto-heat has been activated, the burner automatically turns on at the highest setting (heat-up boost) and then switches to the previously selected continued power level. The heat-up time depends on which continued power level has been chosen (see chart).

With higher continued power levels only a relatively short heat-up time is required.

To activate Auto-heat

^ Touch the desired continued-cooking

number until a signal sounds, and the selected continued power level starts to flash.

During the heat-up time (see chart) the continued power level flashes.

Changing the continued power level deactivates Auto-heat.

With extended power levels (see "Programming"), when an intermediate power level is selected the power levels before and after the intermediate power level will flash.

To deactivate Auto-heat

You can turn off the heat-up boost before the heat-up time ends.
