Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the

appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fat. If oil or fat does catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with water. Disconnect the appliance from the mains and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.

Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do

not flambé under a cooker hood.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can

ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

Do not heat an empty pan.

Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob, as pressure will

build up in the tin, causing it to explode.

Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective

foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the appliance is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.

When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food

blender, near the appliance, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot come into contact with the hot appliance. The insulation on the cable could become damaged.

Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the hob.

If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may

only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the door whilst the hob in use or whilst there is any residual heat present.

Warning and Safety instructions

The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while

after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat indicators go out.

You could burn yourself on the hot hob. Protect your hands with

heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.

When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by

mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of any metal items left on the hob heating up, with the danger of burning. Depending on the material, other items left on the hob could also melt or catch fire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult to dislodge. Do not use the appliance as a resting place. Switch the cooking zones off after use.

Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or

aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot, as they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, switch off the appliance and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the hob whilst still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Wear oven gloves. Allow the cooking zones to cool down and then clean them with a suitable ceramic hob cleaning agent.

Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do

not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.

Do not use pots or pans on the hob with bases with pronounced

edges or ridges. These could scratch or scour the ceramic glass surface permanently. Only use pots and pans with smooth bases.

Warning and Safety instructions

Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables)

can cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that the ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.

Even a light object could cause damage in certain

circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.

Placing hot objects on the sensors and displays could damage

the electronics underneath them. Do not place hot pans on the sensors and displays.

Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the

appliance when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the appliance to heat up the room.

The frame of the hob can become hot due to the influence of the

following factors: operating duration, high power level(s), large pans and the number of cooking zones being used.

Aluminium pans or pans with an aluminium base can cause

metallic, shiny marks to appear on the ceramic surface. These marks can be removed using a ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner (see "Cleaning and care").

To prevent the risk of spillages etc. burning on, remove any

soiling as quickly as possible and ensure that pan bases are clean, dry and free of grease.

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.

The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not dispose of it with household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your dealer for advice.

Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Before using for the first time

Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the "After sales service" section of this booklet.

On cookers/control units with "System lock": The system lock must be deactivated before the hob can be used. Consult the operating instructions for your cooker/control unit for details on how to do this.

Cleaning for the first time

Remove any protective wrapping and adhesive labels.

Before using for the first time, clean the appliance with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry.

Do not use washing up liquid to clean the ceramic surface as it can leave a blue sheen which may be difficult to remove.

Heating up for the first time

The metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight smell when heated up for the first time. The smell and any vapours do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance, and they are not harmful to health.

How the cooking zones work

Single circle cooking zones have one heating element, whilst double circle (vario) cooking zones and extended zones have two. Depending on the mo del, the heating elements may be separated by an insulating ring.

Each cooking zone has overheating protection (a temperature limiter), which stops the ceramic surface from becoming too hot (see "Overheating protection").

When a power level is selected, the heat switches on and the element can be seen through the ceramic surface.

The temperature of the cooking zones depends on the power level selected, and is electronically regulated. This controls the "timing" of a cooking zone, switching the element on and off.

Operation

Switching on and off

The cookers/control units have two different types of control dials for the cooking zones:

Control with stop

–

This type of control is turned clockwise to the power level required to switch it on, and anti-clockwise to "0" to switch it off.

Control without stop - can be

–

rotated 360°

This type of control can be turned either clockwise or anti-clockwise to switch the applicable cooking zone on and off.

Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.

Setting the power level

Switching a cooking zone on automatically activates Auto heat-up if present (see relevant section).

If your appliance does not have Auto heat-up (see section "Cooking zones"), start cooking at the highest setting, and then turn the heat down to the required level.

On appliances with a display, the power level selected will show in the display after switching on, e.g. for the front left cooking zone:

Operation

Residual heat indicator

When a cooking zone is switched on, e.g. front left, the appropriate residual heat indicator lights up when the zone has reached a certain temperature.

The residual heat indicator will switch off after the cooking zone has been switched off once the temperature has dropped to a safe level.

Do not touch the cooking zones or place any flammable items on the zones whilst the residual heat indicators are still lit. Fire hazard and danger of burning.

Appliances with a display

When you switch a cooking zone off, the residual heat indicator will show in the display, e.g. for the front left cooking zone.

The lines of the residual heat indicator go out one after another as the cooking zone cools down. The last horizontal line only goes out when the cooking zone is safe to touch.

Do not place hot pans on or near the residual heat indicators or on the display. The electronic unit underneath could get damaged.

Operation

Auto heat-up

(in combination with certain cookers and control units)

When a cooking zone is switched on, Auto heat-up is activated automatically. The cooking zone starts automatically at the highest setting (heat-up setting), and then switches to the cooking setting which you have selected (continued cooking setting). The heat-up time depends on which continued cooking setting has been chosen (see chart).

As the higher continued cooking settings are generally used for frying food, only a relatively short heat-up time is needed to heat up the pan initially.

The continued cooking setting can be increased during the heat-up phase, and the heat-up time then alters automatically. Reducing the continued cooking level automaticallly switches off Auto heat-up.

Operation

On hobs with a display, a dot lights up to the right of the continued cooking setting during the heat-up phase. At the end of the heat-up phase, the dot goes out.

Depending on the model of the cooker/control unit, the lighting on the control knob lights up red during the heat-up phase, and yellow once the heat-up phase has finished.

To switch off Auto heat-up

^ Switch on the cooking zone and

select a higher cooking level than required.

^ Wait at least 10 seconds and adjust

the control to the desired power setting.

Switching on a double or extended area

(on certain models only)

The outer circle of a double circle zone or extended cooking zone can be switched on if a very large pan or fish kettle is being used.

Turn the cooking zone control

clockwise past "12" as far as it will go.

Then turn the control anti-clockwise

back to the required setting.

Switch the outer circle/extended cooking zone off by turning the control back to the “0” position.

When the same cooking zone is switched on again, only the inner zone will switch on.

On hobs with a display, an indicator light in the display indicates that an outer circle is switched on, e.g. for the front left cooking zone.

The Auto heat-up function for this cooking zone is now switched off.

Auto heat-up can be programmed so that it is always switched on or switched off (see the operating instructions for the oven/control unit).

Operation

Keep-warm zone

Then touch the s sensor.

(on certain models only)

The keep-warm zone is operated by the sensors in the control panel for the keep-warm zone.

For reasons of safety, two sensors have to be touched to switch the zone on, and only one needs to be touched to switch it off.

Control panel

b In-operation indicator light

c Sensors

To switch the keep-warm zone on

Touch the $ sensor.

The indicator light b for the keep-warm zone will flash.

The indicator light b will light up to show that the keep-warm zone is switched on. Approx. 8 minutes after switching on, the residual heat indicator a will light up.

To switch the keep-warm zone off

Touch the s or the $ sensor.

The indicator lamp will go out. The residual heat indicator remains on until the keep-warm zone is cool enough to touch.

Do not touch or place any heat sensitive objects on the keep-warm zone while the residual heat indicator is still on. Danger of burning, and fire hazard.

Please note: the residual heat indicator does not light up after a power cut, even if the keep-warm zone is still hot.

Make sure that the sensors are kept clean, and that items are not placed on top of them. This could lead to the zone being switched on or off inadvertently.

Never place hot pans on the control panel for the keep-warm zone. The electronic unit underneath could get damaged.

Programming the cooking zones

When a ceramic hob is combined with certain cookers/control units, a cooking zone of your choice can be switched off or on and off automatically.

Programming the cooking durations for the cooking zones is described in the operating instructions for the cooker/control unit.

Operation

Pans

The best pans are those with a thick

–

base which is very slightly concave when cold. When heated, the base flattens to rest evenly on the hob, optimising the conduction of the heat.

Cold Hot

Pans made of glass, ceramic or

–

stoneware are less suitable, as they do not conduct the heat so well.

Lift pans into position on the hob.

–

Sliding them into place can cause scuffs and scratches.

Check that the diameter of the pan

–

base is wide enough for the cooking zone so that heat is not lost unnecessarily. Please note that the maximum diameter quoted by manufacturers often refers to the diameter of the top rim of the pot or pan. The diameter of the base (generally smaller) is more important.

– Aluminium pans or pans with an

aluminium base can cause metallic, shiny marks to appear on the ceramic surface. These marks can be removed using a ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner (see "Cleaning and care").

–

Do not use pots and pans on the ceramic hob with bases with pronounced edges or or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans. These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently. Only use pots and pans with smooth bases.

Too small Suitable

Pans

Tips on saving energy

Use a pan lid whenever possible to

–

minimise heat loss.

Uncovered Covered

Select a smaller pan when cooking

–

small quantities. A small pan on a small cooking zone uses less energy than a large, partially filled pan on a large cooking zone.

Use as little water as possible to

–

cook with, and reduce the power setting once the water has come to the boil or the oil is hot enough to fry in.

When cooking for a long time, switch

–

the cooking zone off about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. In this way, use is made of the residual heat.

Cooking times are greatly reduced

–

when using a pressure cooker.

Safety features

System lock

Depending on model, your cooker/control unit may be fitted with a system lock (see the operating instructions for the cooker/control unit).

This prevents the cooking zones from being switched on unintentionally.

The system lock can only be switched on when the cooking zones are switched off. Consult the operating instructions supplied with your cooker/control unit for details on how to activate and deactivate the system lock.

The keep-warm zone is not affected by the system lock.

Safety switch-off

Safety features

(only on cookers/control units with this feature - see operating instructions for your cooker/control unit)

If one of the cooking zones is heated for an unusually long period of time (see chart), and the power settings are not altered, the hob will switch itself off automatically.

If more than one cooking zone is switched on, the cooking zone with the highest setting determines the maximum operating time.

^ Turn the cooking zone control to "0".

The appliance can now be used again.

Safety features

Overheating protection

Each cooking zone has a safety switch-off feature (internal temperature limiter). This automatically switches off the heating elements in the cooking zone before it overheats. Once the cooking zone has cooled down to a safe level the heating will automatically switch back on again.

Overheating can be caused by:

a cooking zone being switched on

–

without a pan on it

Heating up an empty pan

–

the base of a pan not sitting evenly

–

on the cooking zone

the pan not conducting heat

–

properly.

On ceramic hobs you can tell that the overheating protection has activated because the heating switches on and off even when the highest setting is selected

Cleaning and care

For Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products see "Optional accessories".

Do not use a steam cleaning

appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

The appliance should be cleaned after each use. Let it cool down to room temperature before cleaning. To avoid water marks and limescale deposits, use a soft cloth to dry surfaces that have been cleaned with water.

To avoid damaging the surface of your appliance, do not use:

washing-up liquid,

–

cleaning agents containing soda,

–

alkalines, ammonia, acids or chlorides,

cleaning agents containing

–

descaling agents,

stain or rust removers,

–

abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

–

powder cleaners and cream cleaners,

– solvent-based cleaning agents,

– dishwasher cleaner,

– grill and oven cleaners,

– glass cleaning agents,

– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,

e.g. pot scourers, brushes or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents,

–

melamine eraser blocks,

–

sharp, pointed objects which could damage the seal between the ceramic surface and the surrounding frame, and between the frame and the worktop.

Cleaning and care

Do not use washing-up liquid to clean the ceramic surface. Washing-up liquid will not remove all soiling and deposits. It will form an invisible coating which will cause permanent discolouration of the ceramic surface. Clean the hob regularly with a suitable ceramic hob cleaner.

Wipe all coarse soiling off using a damp cloth. Stubborn soiling may need to be removed with a shielded scraper blade.

Then clean the hob with Miele ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner (see "Optional accessories") applied with kitchen paper or a clean cloth. Do not apply cleaner whilst the hob is still hot, as this could result in marking. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Should any sugar, plastic or aluminium foil spill or fall onto a hot cooking zone while it is in use, first switch off the appliance. Then carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the hob whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Take care not to burn yourself. Allow the appliance to cool down, and then clean as described above.

Finally, wipe the hob with a damp cloth, then polish with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure that all cleaner residues are removed. Residues can burn onto the hob the next time it is used, and cause damage to the ceramic surface.

Spots caused by limescale, water and aluminium residues (spots with a metallic appearance) can be removed using Miele's ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner.

Installation work and repairs to

electrical appliances must only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Problem solving guide

... the heating element for one of the cooking zones switches on and off.

This is quite normal, and due to the electronic regulation of the temperature (see "How the cooking zones work").

If the heating element switches on and off when the highest setting has been selected, this indicates that the overheating protection mechanism has triggered (see "Overheating protection").

What to do if...

... after switching on, the appliance does not heat up.

Check whether

– the system lock (only with certain

cookers/control units) is activated. Consult the operating instructions supplied with the cooker/control unit for details on how to deactivate this.

–

the mains fuse has tripped. If the fuse has blown, contact a qualified electrician or the Miele Service department.

... the hob switches off during use.

One of the cooking zones has probably been on for too long (see section on “Safety switch-off).

... on hobs with a display, the last set power levels flash.

There was a power cut during a programme. Turn the controls for all cooking zones to "0". The hob can now be used again. Check the cooking stage of the food and whether its condition has been affected by the power failure before switching the cooking zone(s) back on again.

Problem solving guide

... the food in the pan hardly heats up or does not heat up at all when the Auto heat-up function is switched on.

This could be because:

there is too much food in the pan.

–

the pan is not conducting heat

–

properly.

Select a higher continued cooking setting next time or start cooking at the highest setting and then turn down to a lower setting manually later on.

... it is taking too long for the contents of the pan to come to the boil.

You can test the power level of the cooking zone (see "To test the power level").

To test the power level

You can test the power level of a cooking zone by measuring how long it takes to bring a specific amount of water to the boil.

The pan (and lid) must be stainless steel or enamel. The diameter of the pan must match the cooking zone, and be flat-bottomed or slightly concave.

Take a note of the diameter and

wattage of the cooking zone to be tested (see "Guide to the appliance Cooking zones").

Fill the pan with the quantity of water

given in the table. The temperature of the water should be approx. 20°C.

Place the pan with its lid on the

cooking zone.

Switch on the cooking zone at the

highest setting.

Note the time it takes for the water to

boil.

The power level for the cooking zone is fine if the water boils within the time given in the table.

The time can vary if:

- there are fluctuations in the power supply.

- very cold water is used.

- an unsuitable pan is used.

- the pan is not covered.

Safety instructions for installation

After installing the hob, you need to To avoid the risk of damage fit the wall units and extractor hood before fitting the hob.

The veneer or laminate coatings of

worktops (or adjacent kitchen units) must be treated with 100 °C heat-resistant adhesive which will not dissolve or distort. Any backmoulds must be of heat-resistant material.

This hob may only be installed in

mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

The hob may not be built in over a

fridge, fridge freezer, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine or tumble dryer.

make sure that the underside of the appliance cannot be accessed or touched. In some cases a front panel and a protective shelf must be fitted (see "Protective shelf").

Observe carefully the safety

distances given on the following pages.

Do not use any sealant except

where expressly instructed to do so. The seal underneath the appliance provides a sufficient seal for the worktop.

All dimensions in this instruction booklet are given in mm.

Make sure that the cable for the hob

cannot be damaged by any mechanical obstruction.

These hobs may only be combined

with certain cookers and control units from the manufacturer's range. The manufacturer cannot guarantee trouble-free operation if the appliance is operated in combination with appliances other than those quoted by the manufacturer as being suitable.

Safety instructions for installation

Safety distance above the appliance

A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the appliance and the cooker hood above it. See the cooker hood manufacturer’s operating and installation instructions for details.

If the manufacturer’s instructions are not available for the cooker hood, a minimum safety distance of at least 760 mm must be maintained. For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails, wall units etc. a minimum distance of at least 760 mm must be maintained between them and the appliance below.

When two or more appliances are installed together below a cooker hood, e.g. a gas wok and a ceramic hob, which have different safety distances given in the installation instructions, you should select the greater distance of the two.

Safety instructions for installation

Safety distances to the sides and back of the hob

Ideally the hob should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and a tall unit or wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider should stand higher than the hob (see illustrations).

The following minimum distances should be adhered to for safety reasons:

– 50 mm to the right or left of the

worktop cut-out to the nearest piece of furniture (e.g. tall unit).

– 50 mm from the worktop cut-out to

the rear wall.

Not allowed

Not recommended

Safety instructions for installation

Safety distance when installing the appliance near a wall with additional niche cladding

A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the worktop cut-out and any niche cladding to protect it from heat damage.

If the niche cladding is made from a combustible material (e. g. wood) a minimum safety distance e of 50 mm must be maintained between the cut-out and the cladding.

If the niche cladding is made from a non-combustible material (e. g. metal, natural stone, ceramic tiles) a minimum safety distance e of 50 mm less the thickness of the cladding must be maintained between the cut-out and the cladding. Example: 15 mm niche cladding 50 mm - 15 mm = minimum safety distance of 35 mm

Preparing the worktop

Make the worktop cut-out according

to the dimensions given in the building-in diagram. The cut-out dimensions and dimension tolerances must be followed exactly to ensure that the ceramic plate sits evenly on the worktop with no pressure points along the edges.

Remember to maintain the minimum

safety distances (see "Safety instructions for installation").

Worktops made of wood

Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable

heat-resistant sealant to avoid swelling caused by moisture. The materials used must be heat-resistant.

Make sure that the sealant does not come into contact with the top of the worktop.

Place the spring clamps (supplied) a on the upper edge of the cut-out. Please refer to the relevant building-in dimensions diagram for the hob for the exact positioning of the spring clamps.

Secure the spring clamps with the

3.5 x 25 mm screws supplied.

Granite and marble worktops

You will require double-sided tape and silicone (not supplied).

^ Position the spring clamps a, and fix

in place using heavy-duty double-sided tape f.

Hobs with a frame

Apply silicone g to the side edges

and the lower edges of the spring clamps.

Installing the hob

Feed the hob connection cable down

through the cut-out.

Connect the hob to the cooker (see

section "Connecting up to the cooker/control unit").

Position the hob on the spring

clamps.

Using both hands, press down

evenly on the sides of the hob until it clicks into position. When doing this, make sure that the seal under the hob sits flush with the worktop on all sides. This is important to ensure an effective seal all round. Do not use sealant (e.g. silicone).

If the seal does not meet the worktop correctly on the corners, the corner radius (ß R4) can be carefully scribed to suit.

^ Check that the hob works.

The hob can now only be removed with a special tool.

Hobs with a frame

Seal between the hob and the worktop

The sealing strip under the edge of the top part of the appliance provides a sufficient seal for the worktop.

The appliance must not be sealed with sealant (e.g. silicone). This could result in damage to the appliance or the worktop if it ever needs to be removed for servicing.

Tiled worktop

Grout lines a and the hatched area underneath the hob frame must be smooth and even. If they are not, the hob will not sit flush with the worktop and the sealing strip underneath the hob will not provide a good seal between the hob and the worktop.
