8
Warnings and safety instructions
Proper use
The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
after being turned off. A burn hazard is present until the residual heat
indicators go out.
Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches
fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water.
Turn off the cooktop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable
fire blanket.
The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire.
Do not flambé under a hood.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other flammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore, do not store such items or
substances in a drawer under the cooktop. Any cutlery inserts must
be heat-resistant.
Never heat empty cookware.
Do not heat or can food in closed containers, such as tins or
sealed jars, on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the container
and cause it to explode.
If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the
cover will ignite, explode or melt if the range is still hot or if it is
turned on inadvertently. Never cover the appliance with a cover,
cloth or protective foil.
If the cooktop is on or accidentally turned on, or if it is still hot,
metal objects on the cooktop can heat up. Other items may melt or
catch fire. Damp lids can become attached to the cooktop by
suction. Do not store items on the cooktop. Always turn the burners
off after use.
9
Warnings and safety instructions
You can burn yourself on a hot cooktop. When cooking on the
cooktop, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders or
oven mitts. Only use dry pot holders and oven mitts. Wet or damp
textiles conduct heat more effectively and produce steam, which
poses a burn hazard.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near the
cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into
contact with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation could become
damaged.
Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can
cause scratches if they get onto pan bottoms. Make sure that the
ceramic surface and pan bottom are clean before placing any pans
on the cooktop.
Even light objects (such as a salt shaker) can cause damage to
the ceramic cooktop in certain circumstances. Do not drop anything
on the ceramic surface.
Hot pans on the display can cause damage to the electronics
underneath. Do not place hot pans on the display or on the area
around the display.
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum
foil, to get on the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage the
ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off the
appliance immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or
aluminum residues while still hot using a scraper blade. Wear oven
mitts when doing so. Allow the burners to cool down and clean them
with a suitable ceramic cleaning agent.
Pans that boil dry can damage the ceramic surface. Never leave
the cooktop unattended during use.
Pots and pans with rough bottoms can scratch the ceramic
surface. Only use pots and pans that are smooth on the bottom.
10
Warnings and safety instructions
Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuff marks and scratches.
Because induction heating works so quickly, the temperature of
the cookware bottom can quickly reach the ignition point of oils and
fats. Never leave the cooktop unattended when it is on!
Do not heat oils and fats for longer than one minute, and never
use the booster.
For people who have a heart pacemaker: Please note that an
electromagnetic field is created in the area immediately surrounding
the cooktop. It is very unlikely to affect a pacemaker. However, if in
any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your
doctor.
Objects affected by electromagnetic fields, for instance, credit
cards, CDs and calculators, should be kept away from the cooktop
when it is on.
Do not use two pans on a cooking zone, a casserole cooking zone
or a PowerFlex zone at the same time.
If the cookware only partially covers the cooking or roasting zone,
the handle could become very hot.
Make sure to place the cookware in the middle of the cooking or
casserole cooking zone!
11
Warnings and safety instructions
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
If the cooktop is built in over a self-cleaning oven, the cooktop
should not be used while the self-cleaning process is being carried
out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on
the cooktop (see relevant section).
12
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packaging material
The cardboard box and packaging
materials protect the appliance during
shipping. They have been designed to
be biodegradable and recyclable.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. You can return the packaging to
your Miele dealer.
Disposing of your old appliance
Old electrical and electronic equipment
often still contain valuable materials.
However, they may also include harmful
substances that were essential for
proper functioning and safe use.
Improperly disposing of these items in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment.
Therefore, please do not dispose of
your old appliance in your regular
household waste.
Instead, use your local community
waste collection and recycling centre
for electric and electronic appliances.
Contact your dealer for more
information.
Ensure that your old appliance does not
pose a danger to children while being
stored for disposal.

Using for the first time
Please affix the extra appliance data
plate supplied with this
documentation in the space provided
in the "After-sales service, data plate,
warranty" section of this manual.
Remove any protective foil and
stickers from the cooktop.
Cleaning the cooktop for the first time
Before using it for the first time, wipe
down the cooktop with a damp cloth
and then wipe it dry.
Turning on the cooktop for the first time
Metal components are protected by a
conditioning agent. Smells and vapour
may occur when the appliance is used
for the first time. The heating of the
induction coils also causes odours in
the first few hours of operation. With
each subsequent use, the odour is
reduced until it disappears entirely.
The smell and any vapors that may
occur do not indicate a faulty
connection or defective appliance and
are not harmful to your health.
Please note that the heating-up time
for induction cooktops is very much
shorter than for conventional
cooktops.
17
Induction
How it works
An induction coil is located under each
cooking zone. When a cooking zone is
switched on, this coil creates a
magnetic field which impacts directly
on the base of the pan and heats it up.
The cooking zone itself is heated up
indirectly by the heat given off by the
pan.
An induction cooking zone only works
when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on
it (see "Cookware"). The induction
cooking zone automatically recognizes
the size of the pan.
The symbol is shown in the cooking
zone display and blinks alternately with
the preset power level, if
– the cooking zone has been switched
on without a pan in place, if the pan
is unsuitable (non-magnetic base),
– if the diameter of the base of the pan
is too small,
When the appliance is switched
on either deliberately or by mistake,
or when there is residual heat
present, there is the risk of heating
up any metal items placed on the
cooktop.
Burn hazard!
Do not use the cooktop as a resting
place for items. Switch the cooking
zones off after use by turning the
control to "0".
– or if the pan is taken off the cooking
zone when it is switched on.
If a suitable pan is placed on the
cooking zone within 3minutes, the
will go out and you can continue as
normal.
If no cookware or if unsuitable
cookware is used, the cooking zone will
automatically turn off after 3 minutes.
18
Noises
When you use an induction cooking
zone, the following noises may occur,
depending on the type and shape of the
cookware bottom:
On the higher power settings, it might
buzz. This will decrease or cease
altogether when the power setting is
reduced.
Cookware with bottoms made of
different materials (e.g. sandwich
bottoms) may produce a crackling
noise.
Whistling may occur if connected
cooking zones (see "Booster") are
simultaneously in use and cookware
with bottoms made of different
materials (e.g. in a sandwiched base)
are on them.
The electronics may produce a clicking
sound, especially at lower power
settings.
Induction
You might hear a whirring sound when
the cooling fan turns on. It turns on to
protect the electronics when the
cooktop is being used intensively. The
fan may continue to run after the
appliance has been turned off.
19
Induction
Cookware
Suitable cookware is made of:
– Stainless steel with a magnetic
bottom,
– enamel-coated steel,
– cast iron
Unsuitable cookware is made of:
– Stainless steel pans without a
magnetic bottom,
– Aluminium or copper,
– Glass, ceramics, earthenware,
stoneware.
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable
for use on an induction cooktop, hold a
magnet to the bottom of the pan. If the
magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.
If an unsuitable pan is used, the
symbol will flash alternately with the
power level set.
The composition of the pan bottom can
affect the evenness of the cooking
results (e.g., when making pancakes).
– Lift pans into position on the
cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuff marks and scratches.
– The maximum diameter indicated by
manufacturers will often refer to the
diameter of the top rim of the pot or
pan. The diameter of the base
(generally smaller) is more important.
– To make optimum use of the burners,
choose pans with diameters larger
than the innermost markings but
smaller than the outermost markings
(see "Burner data"). If the diameter of
the pan is smaller than the innermost
marking, the pan will not be
recognized and will flash alternately
with the power level set.
– Pots and pans with rough bottoms
can scratch the ceramic surface.
Only use pots and pans that are
smooth on the bottom.
20
– Use a lid whenever possible to
minimize heat loss.
– For small quantities, select a small
pan. A small pan on a small burner
uses less energy than a large, only
partially filled pan on a large burner.
– Cook with as little water as possible.
– Once food has come to the boil or
the pan is hot for frying, reduce the
heat to a lower power setting.
– Use a pressure cooker to reduce the
cooking time.

These settings should only be taken as a guide. The power of the induction coils will vary
depending on the size and material of the pan. For this reason, it is possible that the
settings will need to be adjusted slightly to suit your pans. As you use the cooktop, you will
get to know which settings suit your pans best. When using new pans that you are not
familiar with, set the power level below the one specified.

Safety shut-off
Safety shut-off with an overlong cooking time
The safety shut-off is triggered
automatically if a cooking zone is
heated for an unusually long period of
time. This time depends on the power
level selected. If it has been exceeded,
the cooking zone turns off and the
residual heat indicator appears. If you
turn the cooking zone on and off again,
it is ready for operation again.
29
Safety features
Overheat protection
All induction coils and the cooling
elements for the electronics are
equipped with an overheating
protection mechanism. To prevent the
induction coils and cooling elements
from overheating, the overheating
protection mechanism works on the
affected cooking zone or on the entire
cooktop in the following ways:
– any booster function in operation will
be turned off,
– the set power level will be reduced,
– one or more cooking zones will
switch off automatically.
Turn the rotary controls for all the
affected cooking zones to "0". The
affected cooking zones can only be
used again as usual once the induction
coils or cooling elements have cooled
down to a safe level.
Any of the following can trigger the
overheat protection:
– Heating empty cookware
– Fat or oil being heated on a high
power level.
– Insufficient ventilation of the
underside of the cooktop.
– A hot cooking zone being switched
on after an interruption to the power
supply.
If, despite elimination of the cause, the
overheat protection is triggered again,
contact Miele Service.
30
Cleaning and care
Burn hazard.
The burners must be turned off and
allowed to cool completely.
Risk of injury.
The steam from a steam cleaner can
reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the cooktop.
The use of unsuitable cleaning
agents can discolour or alter the
external surfaces of the cooktop.
The external surfaces of the cooktop
are susceptible to scratching.
Immediately remove any residues left
by cleaning agents.
Allow the CombiSet to cool down
before cleaning.
The cooktop should be cleaned after
each use.
Dry the cooktop after using water to
clean it. This helps prevent lime
deposits.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the
cooktop, do not use any of the
following when cleaning:
– Dishwashing liquid
– Cleaners containing soda, ammonia,
acids or chlorides
– Lime removers
– Stain or rust removers
– Abrasive cleaning agents, such as
powder or cream cleansers, pumice
stones
– Solvent-based cleaners
– Dishwasher cleaner
– Grill and oven sprays
– Glass cleaners
– Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scourers, brushes or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents
– Magic erasers
31
Cleaning and care
Risk of damage from pointed
objects!
Do not use sharp, pointed objects to
clean the area between the glass
ceramic and the trim or between the
trim and the countertop.
Using dishwashing liquid to clean the
cooktop will not remove all soiling
and residues.
It forms an invisible coating which
will cause permanent discolouration
of the ceramic surface.
Clean the glass ceramic surface
regularly with a suitable ceramic
cooktop cleaning agent.
First, wipe away all coarse soiling
from the surface using a damp cloth.
Stubborn soiling may need to be
removed with a scraper blade.
Then, clean the glass ceramic surface
with the Miele ceramic and stainless
steel cleaner (see "Optional

Safety instructions for installation
Installation of the cooktop may only be performed by a qualified technician.
The cooktop may only be connected to the oven by a qualified electrician.
Install the upper cabinets and ventilation hood before installing the cooktop to
avoid damaging the appliance.
The veneer or laminate coatings of countertops must be treated
with 100°C heat-resistant adhesive which will not dissolve or
become deformed. Wall strips must also be heat-resistant.
The cooktop is fitted with a cooling fan. To guarantee sufficient
ventilation of the cooling fan, the worktop must be at least 29mm
thick.
Once the cooktop has been installed, the electrical cord must not
be subject to mechanical stress.
Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the following
pages.
All dimensions are indicated in mm.
37
Safety clearances
Safety clearance above the cooktop
For a ventilation hood positioned above
the cooktop, always use the clearance
specified by the hood manufacturer. If
no specifications are available from the
hood manufacturer, or if flammable
materials (e.g. wall shelf) are installed
above the cooktop, the clearance must
be at least 760mm.
If there is more than one appliance
installed below the ventilation hood,
each with a different safety
clearance, the largest clearance must
be used.
38
Safety clearances to the sides and back of the cooktop
Ideally, the cooktop should be installed
with plenty of space on either side.
There may be a wall at the rear or a tall
cabinet or wall on one side (right or left)
(see illustrations).
Safety clearances
Minimum distance between the back
of the countertop cut-out and the rear
edge of the countertop:
50mm
Minimum distance on the right side
between the countertop cut-out and the
closest adjacent piece of furniture (e.g.
tall cabinet) or a room wall:
50mm
Minimum distance on the left side
between the countertop cut-out and the
closest adjacent piece of furniture (e.g.
tall cabinet) or a room wall:
50mm
Not permitted!
Highly recommended!
Not recommended!
Not recommended!
39
Safety clearances
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 flammable material (such as wood), the minimum
distance between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be 50mm.
For coverings made of non-flammable materials (such as metal, natural stone,
ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance between the countertop cut-out and
the wall covering is equal to 50mm minus the thickness of the covering.
For example: thickness of wall covering 15mm
50mm - 15mm = minimum distance of 35mm

Instructions for installation
Seal between the cooktop and countertop
Do not use sealant between the
cooktop and the countertop. Doing
so could result in damage to the
cooktop or countertop if the cooktop
ever needs to be removed for
servicing.
The sealing strip under the top edge
of the appliance provides an
adequate seal with the countertop.
Tiled countertop
The grouting and the shaded area
under the cooktop frame must be
smooth and flat so that the frame will sit
evenly on the countertop and so that
the sealing strip under the top edge of
the appliance can provide an adequate
seal with the countertop.

Installation
Preparing the countertop
Create the countertop cut-out as
shown in the cooktop diagram.
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see "Safety
clearances").
Wooden countertop
Seal any cut surfaces on the wooden
countertop with a special varnish,
silicone rubber, or resin to prevent the
wood from swelling as a result of
moisture. The sealant must be
temperature-resistant.
Make sure that the sealant does not
get on countertop surface.
The sealing strip ensures that the
cooktop will sit securely in the cut-out
without slipping. Any gap between the
trim and countertop will become
smaller over time.
Installing the cooktop
Feed the cooktop power cord down
through the countertop cut-out.
Connecting the cooktop
Insert the plug housing at the end of
the connection cable into the socket
on the oven.
The plug housing and plug connector
are designed so that only one
connection alignment is possible. Do
not use force to insert the plug. The
protective earth wire is integrated in
the plug housing.
Check that the cooktop works.
Centre the cooktop in the cut-out.
Make sure that the seal under the
cooktop sits flush with the counter on
all sides. This is important to ensure
an effective seal.
If the seal does not sit flush with the
countertop in the corners, the corner
radius (≤R4) can be carefully cut to fit
using a jigsaw.
Never seal the cooktop using
additional sealant (e.g. silicone).
43
Electrical connection
Risk of injury.
Installation, maintenance and repair
work by unqualified persons can
cause considerable danger to users,
for which Miele is not responsible.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage or injury caused by
improper installation, maintenance or
repair work or by inadequate or
faulty grounding in the building's

components are shielded and cannot
be accessed by users after
installation.
Connection
The voltage, rated load and fuse rating
can be found on the oven data plate.
Please ensure that these match the
building's electrical supply.
Ground fault circuit interrupter
For added safety, it is advisable to
protect the appliance with a suitable
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
with a trip current of 30mA.
Disconnecting devices
It must be possible to disconnect the
appliance from the power supply on all
poles using disconnecting devices.
When switched off, a contact distance
of at least 3mm must be present.
