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.

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.

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.

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.

Before the first use

Calibrating the sensors

Automatic calibration

To ensure continuing trouble-free operation, the sensors

are recalibrated after the appliance

–

is connected and after every power interruption, such as an electricity outage. The safety lock indicator light comes on during automatic calibration and the cooktop cannot be switched on.

continuously adjust to changing

–

environmental conditions during operation.

If the automatic calibration cannot be successfully performed, an A lights in the front left and right cooking zone display and an F in the rear left of the display. Numbers light up in the right rear of the cooking zone display and in the Timer/Memory display.

Manual calibration

First ensure that no direct light (either

sunlight or artificial light) is falling on the cooktop. As well, the area around the cooktop should neither be too dark nor should the lighting conditions be constantly changing.

Make sure there is nothing covering

the entire cooktop and the sensors. Remove any cookware and clean any food residues off the cooktop.

Interrupt the power supply to the

cooktop for approximately 1 minute.

Restore the power. The electronic until will reset the sensitivity levels of the sensors.

Should the problem still persist, please call customer service.

In that case, you can perform the calibration manually.

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.

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.

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.
