Important safety instructions
This cooktop complies with all
applicable safety laws and
regulations. However, improper use
can result in personal injury and
material damage.
Before using the cooktop for the first
time, carefully read the Instructions
for installation and operation.
These operating instructions contain
important information on the safety,
installation, operation, and care of
your appliance. Reading the
instructions will help reduce the risk
of personal injury or damage to the
appliance.
Keep them in a safe place and pass
them on to any future user.
Proper use
Only use the cooktop for household
~
use, and for the purposes described in
this manual.
Other uses are not allowed and can be
possibly dangerous. The manufacturer
will not be held liable for damage
caused by unauthorized use or
improper operation of any kind.
Individuals who are incapable of
~
using the cooktop safely, because of
physical, sensory or mental
limitations,or a lack of experience or
knowledge, should not use this
appliance without supervision or
instruction by a responsible person.

Important safety instructions
Children around the appliance
Use the system lock to prevent
~
children from inadvertently switching on
the cooktop or changing the settings.
Always supervise any children in the
~
vicinity of the cooktop. Never allow
children to play with the appliance.
Children should use the cooktop
~
only if they have received sufficient
instruction to operate it safely. They
must be able to recognize the potential
hazards of improper use.
The cooktop is hot during use and
~
remains so for some time after being
switched off. Keep children away from
the appliance until it has cooled down
enough that there is no longer any
danger of burns.
Keep the spaces above and behind
~
the appliance clear of any items that
could draw the interest of a child.
Otherwise, a child might be tempted to
climb on it. Danger of burns!
Make sure that children will not be
~
able to grab and topple any cookware
on the cooktop. ALWAYS turn pot/pan
handles inward so that they do not
extend out from the cooktop, where
they could be grabbed - this helps
reduce the danger of burns and
scalding! A special childproofing
screen is available through your dealer,
to help reduce these risks.
Packing materials (e.g., foil,
~
styrofoam) can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep
packaging materials out of the reach of
children and dispose of them as
promptly as possible.

Important safety instructions
Technical safety
Before installing the cooktop, check
~
for externally visible damage. NEVER
operate a damaged appliance. A
damaged appliance can endanger your
safety.
The electrical safety of this cooktop
~
can only be guaranteed if proper
grounding has been installed in
compliance with applicable safety
regulations. It is imperative that this
basic safety requirement be met.
In case of doubt, have the power
supply checked by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer will not be
held liable for damages resulting from a
missing, broken or inadequate
grounding system (for example, electric
shock).
Before connecting the cooktop, you
~
must make sure that the electrical
rating (voltage and frequency,
indicated on the data plate)
corresponds to the household electrical
supply.
These ratings must match, in order to
avoid damaging the appliance. If in
doubt, please contact a qualified
electrician.
Do not under any circumstances
~
open the cooktop housing.
Any contact with connections carrying
voltage, or changes to the electrical or
mechanical set-up, will endanger you
and may impair the functioning of the
appliance.
Only professionals who are duly
~
authorized by the manufacturer should
perform installation work, maintenance,
and repairs on this appliance.
Work performed by unqualified persons
carries the risk of serious harm to the
user. The manufacturer will not be held
liable for such harm.
Whenever performing installation or
~
maintenance work or repairs, the
appliance must be disconnected from
the power supply. The appliance is
considered to be electrically
disconnected when one of the following
conditions is met:
– The fuses or circuit breakers are
tripped.
–
The screw-in type fuses are fully
unscrewed.
–
The power cable is disconnected
from the electrical system.
To ensure safe operation, use the
~
appliance only after it has been
installed in place.
6
Important safety instructions
Repair of the cooktop during the
~
warranty period should be performed
only by a service who is authorized by
the manufacturer; otherwise, should
damage result, it will not be covered by
the warranty.
Defective components should be
~
replaced by genuine Miele replacement
parts only. Only these parts are
guaranteed by the manufacturer to
comply with safety requirements.
If the power cord is damaged, it
~
must be replaced with a special power
cord, which is available from the
manufacturer or from Customer Service.
Do not connect the appliance to the
~
power supply by an extension cord or
power strip, as they do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance
(danger of overheating, for example).
If you discover that the cooktop is
~
defective or its ceramic glass is
chipped, cracked or broken in any way,
do not use it or immediately switch it off
and do not continue to operate it.
Disconnect the appliance from the
power supply. If you fail to follow these
steps, there is the danger of electric
shock!
Proper use
For users who wear a pacemaker:
~
It is important to note that the appliance
is surrounded by an electromagnetic
field. It is unlikely that the pacemaker
will be affected.
However, it is wise to consult with your
cardiologist or the manufacturer of the
pacemaker if there is any doubt.
Magnetized objects, such as credit
~
cards, diskettes, and calculators should
be kept away from the appliance when
it is on. Otherwise, they may be
affected.
The cooktop is hot during use and
~
remains so for some time after being
switched off. The risk of burns remains
until the residual heat indicators have
switched off.
Never leave the cooktop
~
unsupervised while in operation!
Cookware that boils dry and overheats
can cause damage to the glass
ceramic, and the manufacturer will not
be held liable for such damage.
Overheated fat or oil can ignite and
start a fire.
If hot fat or oil catches fire, NEVER
~
use water to douse the flames. Use a
lid, or wet dishtowel, for example, to put
out the fire.
7
Important safety instructions
Protect your hands when working
~
with a hot appliance - wear oven mitts,
and use potholders, etc. Make sure the
material is not wet or damp. This would
increase the transfer of heat to your
skin, and could cause burns.
Never flambé food under an exhaust
~
hood. The flames can set fire to the
exhaust hood.
Do not use the appliance as a
~
storage surface.
Do NOT use the appliance as a resting
place for cutlery or other items made of
metal
If the cooktop is on or accidentally
switched on or there is residual heat,
metallic objects can heat up and cause
burns.
Other items may melt or catch fire.
Damp lids can become attached to the
cooktop by suction.
Always switch the cooking zone(s) off
after use.
NEVER cover the grill with a cloth or
~
foil stovetop protector. It could be hot
enough to set objects on fire.
Do not use plastic or aluminum foil
~
or cookware. It can melt at high
temperatures. There is also the danger
of fire.
NEVER use the appliance to heat up
~
closed containers, e.g., canned foods.
The increased pressure can cause the
containers/cans to explode, and this
carries the danger of injury and burns.
Choose pots and pans with a
~
smooth bottom only. Rough cookware
can scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.
Never heat dishware when it is
~
empty, unless expressly permitted by
the manufacturer. Because induction
heating works so quickly, the
temperature of the cookware bottom
can quickly reach the ignition point of
oils and fats.
Keep the cooktop clean. Salt, sugar,
~
and grains of sand or dirt (for example,
from fresh vegetables) can cause
scratches.
Never place hot cookware near the
~
control panel. The electronic unit
underneath might be damaged.
Be careful that no objects or
~
cookware fall onto the glass ceramic
surface. Even a light object, such as a
salt shaker, can cause cracks and
chips in the glass ceramic.
8
Important safety instructions
If sugar, sugary foods, plastic, or
~
aluminum foil fall onto a hot cooking
zone, switch the appliance off. Immedi
ately, while the zone is still hot, use a
glass scraper to thoroughly eliminate
the spill from the cooking zone. Failure
to do so can lead to damage to the
glass ceramic as it cools down.
Exercise caution - danger of burns.
Once the cooking zone has cooled off,
clean it thoroughly.
If a gadget is plugged into a socket
~
near the appliance, check to be sure
that the power cord does not come into
contact with the hot appliance. This
could damage the insulation on the
cord. Danger of electric shock!
The appliance is equipped with a
~
cooling fan. If there is a drawer below
the cabinetry, you will need to ensure
there is enough space to allow for
ventilation. Do not use the drawer to
store sharp or small objects, or paper.
They could pass through (or be sucked
into) the ventilation slit in the housing
and damage the fan blades or
otherwise interfere with cooling.
Note that metal objects stored in a
~
drawer under the cooktop can become
hot when the appliance is in heavy use.
-
Always cook food thoroughly.
~
Temperatures must be high enough,
and the cooking times long enough, to
kill any germs in the food.
If the cooktop is installed above a
~
self-cleaning oven or stovetop, do not
use it during self-cleaning, as this could
trigger the overheat protection on the
cooktop (refer to the corresponding
section of the manual).
The manufacturer will not be held
liable for damage caused by failure
to comply with the safety information
and warnings.
If there is a drawer below the
~
appliance, do NOT store any spray
cans, flammable liquids, or flammable
materials in the drawer. Cutlery trays
must be made of heat-resistant
material.

Before the first use
Read the section on the "Data plate"
and attach the plate, which is included
with the appliance documents, in the
location specified in "Technical Ser
vice".
-
First cleaning
Remove any protective foil and stickers.
Before the first use, wipe down the
appliance with a damp cloth and dry it.
Do NOT use dish liquid to clean the
glass ceramic cooktop, because this
can cause permanent blue
discolorations.
Breaking in the appliance
For facetted cooktops (with bevelled
glass edging):
In the first few days after installation,
a small gap may be visible between
the cooktop and the countertop. This
will diminish over time. Despite the
small gap, the electrical safety of the
appliance remains intact.
The first time the appliance is used,
there may be an odour and some
vapour released. The odour will
diminish over time and eventually
disappear.
The odour and any vapors given off do
not indicate a faulty connection or
defective appliance, and are not
hazardous to your health.
15
Induction
How induction works
Under each induction cooking zone,
there is an induction coil. When the
cooking zone is switched on, the coil
generates a magnetic field that acts
directly on the bottom of the pot/pan to
heat it up. The cooking zone heats up
indirectly, only from the heat given off
by the pot/pan.
Cooking zones with induction only work
with cookware that has a magnetizable
bottom (see "Cookware").
The induction process automatically
takes into account the size of the
cookware being used. In other words, it
only works in the area that is covered
by the cookware bottom.
The cooking zone will not work
– if there is no cookware, or unsuitable
cookware (items without a
magnetizable bottom) being used
– if the bottom diameter of the
cookware being used is too small
If suitable cookware is placed on the
induction zone within 3 minutes, the
ßgoes out, and you can continue as
usual.
If no cookware or unsuitable cookware
is used, the cooking zone will
automatically switch off after 3 minutes.
Do NOT use the appliance as a
resting place for cutlery or other
items made of metal. If the
appliance is on, or accidentally
switched on or there is residual heat,
there is the danger that these items
will heat up (danger of burns!).
Always switch off the cooking zones
after use.
–
if the cookware is removed from a
cooking zone that is on.
In such cases, the symbol ß will flash
alternatingly in the matching cooking
zone display with 0 or the selected
power setting.
16
Induction
Noise
When you use an induction cooking
zone, the following noises may occur,
depending on the the type and shape
of the cookware bottom:
The zone may hum at the higher
–
power settings. The humming will
become quieter or disappear if you
lower the power setting.
Cookware with mixed bottoms (for
–
example, sandwich bottoms made of
different materials) may produce a
crackling noise.
– Whistling may occur if the connected
cooking zones (see "Booster
function") are also in use and there is
cookware with layered bottom on
them as well.
– The electronics may produce a
clicking sound, especially at lower
power settings.
To extend the life of the electronics, the
appliance is equipped with a cooling
fan. If the appliance is under heavy
use, the fan will start, and you will hear
it whirring. The cooling fan may
continue to run after the appliance is
switched off.
17
Induction
Cookware
Type of cookware
Suitable cookware is made of:
Stainless steel with a magnetizable
–
bottom
enamel-coated steel
–
Cast iron
–
Unsuitable cookware is made of:
Stainless steel with a
–
non-magnetizable bottom
– Aluminum, copper
– Glass/ceramic/earthenware/
stoneware
If you are not sure whether a pot or pan
is suitable for induction, you can test it
using a magnet against the bottom. If
the magnet sticks, the cookware can be
used.
Note that the type of cookware bottom
you use will have an effect on how
evenly the food cooks.
Size of cookware
For optimal efficiency, select cookware
that fits between the innermost and
outermost markings on the cooking
zone. If the pot/pan is smaller than the
innermost marking, the induction may
not work. The cooking zone will behave
as though no cookware is on it.
Please note that, although the diameter
indicated for pots and pans is typically
the maximum or upper diameter, you
should instead pay attention to the
bottom diameter, which will tend to be
smaller.
Tips for saving energy
Whenever possible, keep pots and
pans covered while cooking. This helps
keep in the most possible heat.

Operation
Sensor switches
The control panel on your ceramic
cooktop is equipped with electronic
sensor switches. They respond to finger
contact.
To operate the cooking zones, simply
touch the corresponding sensor
switches. Every response of the sensor
switches is acknowledged with an
acoustic signal.
Take care to touch only the desired
sensor switch in the middle with your
finger vertical, and keep the control
panel clean with nothing placed on
top of it. Otherwise, the sensor areas
may not respond, or unintentional
commands may be given, even
causing the cooktop to automatically
switch off (see the section on "Safety
Switch-Off"). NEVER place hot
cookware on the sensor switches.
The electronic unit underneath might
be damaged.

21
Operation
Booster function
The cooking zones are equipped with a
Single (I) or Twin (I/II) booster (see
Description of the appliance).
The booster function boosts power so
that large quantities can be quickly
heated, such as water for cooking
pasta. When Booster I is switched on,
the cooking zones operate for
10 minutes with extra power, and when
Booster II is used, for 15 minutes with
extra high power.
The booster function can only be used
on two cooking zones at a time, one on
the left and one on the right.
If the booster function is switched on
when
– no power setting has been selected,
the cooking zone will automatically
revert to setting 9 at the end of the
booster time or if the booster is
switched off before this.
In order to supply the Booster power
needed, another cooking zone will
operate at reduced power while the
Booster function is on. In other words,
the cooking zones are connected
(networked) in pairs, as shown here:
When the Booster is turned on, the
following takes place:
any Automatic parboil is turned off in
–
the connected cooking zones.
– the power level in the connected
cooking zone may be reduced.
When Booster II is switched on, the
cooking zone associated with it is
switched off.
–
a power setting has been selected,
the cooking zone will automatically
revert to the pre-selected setting at
the end of the booster time or if the
booster is switched off before this.
If the cookware is removed from the
heat during the Booster time, the
Booster function is interrupted. If the
cookware is returned to the cooking
zone within 3 minutes, the Booster time
will resume.

Switching off the Booster.
The Booster function can be switched
off early.
To do so, keep tapping the B sensor
^
field for the corresponding cooking
zone until the indicator light for the
Booster goes out in the display, or
use the - sensor field for the cooking
zone in question.
23
Operation
Hold
Each cooking zone has a hold setting.
If it has been activated, the cooking
zone switches off after a maximum of
two hours' operation.
This function is for keeping food
warm immediately after cooking, in
other words food that is already hot.
It is not for reheating food that has
gone cold!
Tips
Use only cookware (pots/pans) for
keeping food warm. Cover the
cookware with a lid.
It is not necessary to stir the food while
it is being kept warm.
Loss of nutrients begins with
preparation of the food and continues
while it is being kept warm. The longer
food is kept warm, the greater the loss
of nutrients. Keep the holding time as
short as possible.
24
Operation
Switching off and Residual
heat indicator
Switching off a cooking zone
At the same time, tap the - and +
^
sensors.
0 will appear in the cooking zone
display for a few seconds. If the
cooking zone is still hot, the residual
heat will be indicated in the display.
Switching off the cooktop
^ Touch the ON/OFF sensor s.
This switches off all the cooking zones.
The heat indicator for each cooking
zone that is still hot appears in the
display.
The bars in the residual temperature
display gradually disappear as the
cooking zones cool down. The last bar
goes out when the cooking zones can
be touched again without danger.
The residual heat displays also react
when hot cookware is placed on a
cooking zone that is switched off.
If the residual heat displays are on,
do not touch the cooking zones or
place any heat-sensitive items on
them.
DANGER of burns and fire!
It is important to note that the
residual heat displays will NOT work
if there is a fault, even though the
cooking zones may still be hot.
25
Timer
The timer can be used for two different
functions:
setting a minute minder
–
to set a cooking zone to switch off
–
automatically.
You can set times from 1 minute (01)to

9
/2(9.^) hours. For times of more than
99 minutes (99) settings are made in
half-hour steps. Half hours are
represented by a dot following the
number.
Use the - sensor to reduce the time
from 9.^ to 00, and the + sensor to
increase the time from 00 to 9^. The
display stops at 2h and at 99. To
continue entering the setting, remove
your finger from the sensor and then
touch it again.
Once the set time has elapsed, 00 will
appear for several seconds in the timer
display, during which time a signal tone
will also sound. If you would like to
switch off the signal tone early, simply
touch the m sensor.
Minute minder
Setting the minute minder
You can set the timer whether the

Safety features
Overheat protection
All induction coils and the cooling
elements for the electronics are fitted
with overheating protection. Before the
induction coils or the cooling elements
overheat, the overheat protection
initiates the following measures for the
affected cooking zone or the entire
cooktop:
Any Booster function in operation will
–
be switched off.
The power level set will be reduced.
–
If an induction coil is affected, the
–
error message FE99 appears, and
the cooktop switches itself off.
The error message goes out, and a
residual heat indication will appear in
the display for each cooking zone that
is still hot.
Only when the induction coil has cooled
down sufficiently can operation again
be resumed in the usual manner.
The overheat protection can be
triggered if:
Empty cookware is being heated.
–
Fats or oils are heated at high power
–
settings.
The underside of the appliance is
–
insufficiently ventilated.
If despite the removal of the cause the
overheat protection is triggered again,
contact customer service.
–
If a cooling element is affected, the
power supply to the cooking zones
will be reduced, and the power level
set will remain displayed.
As soon as the cooling element has
cooled down sufficiently, the cooking
zones will automatically resume
operation at the power levels originally
set.

NEVER use a steam cleaner to
,
clean this appliance. The steam can
reach the electrical components and
cause the appliance to short circuit.
Cleaning and care
To avoid damaging the surfaces, do
not use any
cleaning products that contain
–
washing soda, acids/alkali, ammonia,
or bleach,
Clean the entire appliance after each
use. Let the appliance cool down
before cleaning.
Dry the appliance any time water is
used to clean it - this helps prevent lime
spots.
lime removers,
–
stain and rust removers,
–
scouring cleansers, e. g., scouring
–
powder, scouring liquid, pumice
stones,
solvent-based cleansers,
–
Dishwasher detergents
–
– grill and oven sprays,
– glass cleaner,
– scouring brushes and sponges (such
as pot scrubbers), or used sponges
that still contain residue of scouring
agents,
– sharp objects
(they could damage the seals
between the ceramic and the frame
or between the frame and the
countertop).
33
Cleaning and care
Glass ceramic
First wipe down the surface with a
damp cloth to loosen soiling, then
remove stubborn crusting with a glass
scraper.
Finish by cleaning the cooking zone
with a special cleaner for glass ceramic
and stainless steel (see the section
"Additional accessories") and paper
towel or a clean cloth. Do not apply
cleaner to a hot cooking zone, as this
can leave spots. Follow the instructions
indicated by the manufacturer of the
cleaning product.
Wipe the cooktop with clean water and
dry it with a clean, dry cloth. Be sure to
remove all cleaning product residue.
Residue will burn into the cooktop
during subsequent uses, damaging the
glass ceramic.
Spots from lime residue, water, and
aluminum deposits (shimmering
metallic spots) can be removed with a
glass ceramic and stainless steel
cleanser.
If sugar, plastic, or aluminum foil fall
onto a hot cooking zone, switch the
appliance off. Immediately, while the
zone is still hot, use a glass scraper to
thoroughly eliminate the spill from the
cooking zone. Exercise caution danger of burns!
Once the zone has cooled off, clean
thoroughly as described above.

Troubleshooting
Repairs to electrical appliances
,
should only be carried out by a
qualified professional. Work
performed by unqualified persons
can place the user at considerable
risk of harm.
... If there is a smell or vapor formed
when a new appliance is switched
on:
The smell and any vapors given off do
not indicate a faulty connection or
defective appliance, and are not
hazardous to health.
What to do if ...
... the cooktop or the cooking zones
cannot be switched on?
Check whether:
– the cookware is suitable.
– the safety lock is activated.
If so, de-activate it (see "Safety
lock").
– the fuse or breaker was tripped.
If none of the above is the case,
disconnect the appliance from the
electrical supply for about 1 minute. To
do this:
–
switch off the relevant circuit
breakers or unscrew the fuses all the
way from its socket or
–
switch off the Ground Fault
Protection Circuit Breakers.
If after resetting the circuit breaker or
replacing the fuse in its socket the
appliance will not operate, call an
electrician or customer service.
... The cooking area can be switched
on and settings selected, but the
cooking zones do not heat up.
Check whether the appliance is still in
demonstration mode (see
"Programming").
... A ß appears in a cooking zone
display.
Check whether:
– the empty cooking zone was
inadvertently switched on without
cookware on it.
–
that the cookware being used is
suitable for use on an induction zone
and is sufficiently large (see
"Cookware").
... a single cooking zone or the entire
cooktop has automatically switched
off?
The safety shut-off mechanism or the
overheat protection has been triggered
(see "Safety switch-off", "Overheat
protection").
38
Troubleshooting
... One of the following has occurred:
The Booster has automatically
–
de-activated ahead of time.
The power level set will be reduced.
–
The cooking zone is not working in
–
the usual way with the power level
set.
The overheat protection has been
triggered (see the section on "Overheat
protection").
... With the Auto heat-up function
switched on, the food in the pan
does not cook.
This may be because:
– There is too much food in the pan.
– The cookware does not conduct heat
well.
Select a higher continued cooking
setting next time, or start cooking at the
highest setting and then switch down
manually to a lower setting later on.
... The cooling fan continues to run
after switch-off.
That is not a malfunction. The fan runs
until the appliance is cooled down, and
then switches off automatically.
... An F appears in the rear cooking
zone displays, and an E in the front,
and numbers appear in the timer
display.
FE99:
The overheat protection mechanism in
the induction coil has been triggered.
As soon as the cooking zone has
cooled down sufficiently, you can
operate it as usual.
Other error messages: Interrupt the
power supply to the cooktop for
approximately 1 minute.
If the problem persists after power is
restored, please call customer service.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION
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 appliance.
The countertop must be bonded
~
with heat resistant (212 °F/100 °C)
adhesive to prevent distortion or
dissolving.
Any back splashes must be
heat-resistant as well.
The appliance has not been
~
designed for maritime use or for use in
mobile installations such as recreational
vehicles or aircraft. However, under

maintained between the cooktop and
the hood above it. See the installation
instructions of the hood for these safety
measurements.
If the hood manufacturers instructions
are not available or if flammable objects
are installed over the combiset (e.g.
cabinets, utensil rail, etc.), a minimum
safety distance of 30" (760 mm) must
be maintained.
43
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION
Safety distances to the sides and
rear of the cooktop
If you are installing a cooktop, it is
allowed to have cabinets or walls of any
height on one side and at the rear, but
on the other side there must be no
appliance or furniture standing higher
than the cooktop (see illustrations).
Following minimum safety clearances
must be kept:
50 mm to the right or left of the
–
countertop cut-out to the nearest
piece of furniture (e.g., a tall

Installation
Preparing the countertop
Use the dimensional line drawing to
^
make a work cut-out.
Be sure to observe the minimum
distance from the rear wall and
from the left or right to a side wall.
See the section on "IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION".
Seal any wooden work surfaces with
^
a special varnish, silicone rubber, or
resin, to help prevent swelling from
moisture.
The materials used must be
temperature-stable.
If, during installation, you find that
the seal on the corners of the frame
are not flush with the countertop, the
corner radii ß R4 can be carefully
cut out with a jig saw.
No clamps will be required to for
installation of the appliances, a seal
underneath will keep the cooktop
solidly seated in the cutout. The gap
between the frame and the
countertop will reduce over time.
Inserting the cooktop
Feed the appliance power cord
^
downward through the cut-out.
Place the cooktop centered in the
^
cutout. Ensure that the cooktop seal
sits flush with the countertop on all
sides. This is necessary for a proper
seal all the way around. Do NOT use
sealant.
Connect the cooktop.
^
Check the cooktop for function.
^
49
Installation
Sealing advice
The cooktop must not be permanently
sealed into the countertop when
installed. The sealing strip under the
edge of the cooktop provides a
sufficient enough seal.
If the cooktop is sealed into position,
the countertop or the appliance may
be damaged if the cooktop needs to
be removed for maintenance or ser
vice.
Tiled countertop
Grout lines a and the hatched area
underneath the cooktop frame must be
smooth and even, so that the frame will
sit flush with the countertop and the
sealing strip underneath the edge of
the upper part of the appliance
provides a sufficient seal between the
cooktop and the countertop.
