9

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.

Do not flambé under a rangehood. The flames could set the

~

rangehood on fire.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can

~

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

Do not heat an empty pan.

~

Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the cooktop, as

~

pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode.

Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop 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.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

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 cooktop in use or whilst there is any residual heat present.

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 cooktop. 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 cooktop heating up, with the danger of
burning.
Depending on the material, other items left on the cooktop 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 and do not rely on the pan
detector.

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 cooktop 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 cooktop cleaning agent.

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

~

not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not use pots or pans on the cooktop 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.

Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place will

~

cause scuffs and scratches.

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.

Do not place hot objects on the control field as this could cause

~

damage to the electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the
touch display.

Induction heating works extremely quickly, so the base of the pan

~

could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within
a very short time. Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is
being used.

Heat oil or fat for a maximum of one minute. Do not use the

~

Booster function to heat oil or fat.

For people fitted with a heart pacemaker:

~

Please note that the area immediately surrounding the cooktop is
electromagnetically charged. It is unlikely to affect a pacemaker.
However, if in any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker
or your doctor.

To prevent damage to items which are susceptible to magnetic

~

fields, e.g. credit cards, digital storage devices, pocket calculators,
etc, do not leave them in the immediate vicinity of the cooktop.

12

Warning and Safety instructions

Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the cooktop can become

~

hot if the induction cooktop is used intensively for a long time. Do
not store any metal items or utensils in a drawer under the cooktop

This cooktop is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted

~

directly underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient space
between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the
appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation of the cooktop.
Do not store pointed or small items or paper in the drawer. They
could get in through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the
housing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.

Do not use two pans on a cooking zone, extended zone or

~

combined PowerFlex zone at the same time.

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.

If the cooktop is built in over a pyrolytic oven, the cooktop should

~

not be used whilst the pyrolytic process is being carried out, as this
could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the cooktop
(see relevant section).

13

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. If
handled or disposed of incorrectly they
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
Please do not dispose of your
appliance with household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre.

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

Alternatively, the additional label can be stuck near the
appliance if the appliance markings are not visible after
installation.

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.

Before using for the first time

On cooktops with bevelled glass edges, a small gap may
be visible between the cooktop and the worktop during the
first few days after installation. This gap will reduce with
time as the appliance is used and will not affect the
electrical safety of your appliance.

Before using 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
induction coils may also give off a slight smell for the first few
hours of operation. This smell will be less noticeable with
each subsequent use before dissipating completely.

The smell and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance and they are not hazardous to
health.

Please note that the heating up time on induction cooktops
is very much shorter than on conventional cooktops.

19

Induction

The induction principle

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 "Pans"). The induction cooking zone
automatically recognises the size of the pan.

The ß symbol flashes alternately with the power setting
selected in one of the cooking zones

if it is switched on without a pan in place, or if the pan is

–

unsuitable (non-magnetic base),

– if the diameter of the base of the pan is too small,

– 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 3
minutes, ß will go out and you can continue as normal.

20

If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed on the cooking zone,
the cooking zone will switch off automatically after 3 minutes.

Danger of burning!
Do not use the cooktop as a resting place for metal items
(e.g. cutlery). When the appliance is switched on either
deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat
present, there is the risk of the metal items heating up,
with the danger of burning.
Switch the cooktop off after use.

Noises

Induction

When using an induction cooking zone, the following noises
can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and
how it has been constructed.

On the higher power settings, it might buzz. This will

–

decrease or cease altogether when the power setting is
reduced.

If the pan base is made of layers of different materials (e.g.

–

in a sandwiched base), it might emit a cracking sound.

Whistling might occur if linked zones (see "Booster") are

–

being used at the same time, and the pans also have
bases made of layers of different materials.

– You might hear a clicking sound from the electronic

switches, especially on lower power settings.

– You might hear a whirring sound when the cooling fan

switches on. It switches on to protect the electronics when
the cooktop is being used intensively. The fan may
continue to run after the appliance has been switched off.

21

Induction

Pans

Suitable pans:

stainless steel pans with a base that can be magnetised

–

enamelled steel pans

–

cast iron pans

–

Unsuitable pans:

stainless steel pans without a magnetic base

–

aluminium and copper pans

–

glass, ceramic or earthenware pots and pans

–

To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an
induction cooktop, hold a magnet to the base of the pan. If
the magnet sticks, the pan is suitable. If an unsuitable pan is
used, the ß symbol will flash alternately with the power setting
selected.

Please be aware that the properties of the pan base can
affect the eveness with which food heats up in the pan.

– To make optimum use of the cooking zones, choose pans

with diameters larger than the innermost markings but
smaller than the outermost markings (see "Cooking zone
data"). If the diameter of the pan is smaller than the
innermost marking, the pan will not be recognised and ß
will flash alternately with the power setting selected.

22

–

Do not use pots and pans with bases with pronounced
edges or ridges. These could scratch or scour the cooktop
surface permanently.

–

Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into
place can cause scuffs and scratches.

–

Often the maximum diameter quoted by manufacturers
refers to the diameter of the top rim of the pot or pan. The
diameter of the base (generally smaller) is more important.

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

–

smaller pan uses less energy than a larger pan with very
little in it.

– Cook with as little water as possible.

– Once food has come to the boil or the oil in the pan is hot

enough for frying, reduce the heat to a lower setting.

– Cooking times are greatly reduced when using a pressure

cooker.

23

Power level range

The appliance is delivered with 9 power levels programmed as standard. If you
wish to fine-tune a setting, you can extend the power level range (see
"Programming"). The intermediate setting will be represented by an illuminated dot

(17 power levels)

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.

24

How the cooktop is operated

The cooktop is equipped with electronic sensor controls
which react to finger contact.

To operate the cooktop, touch the relevant sensor. Each time
you touch a sensor, an audible tone sounds.

In order to set or alter a power level or the time (depending
on model), the cooking zones and the timer must be "active".
To activate a cooking zone or the timer, touch the sensor for
selecting the relevant cooking zone or the timer. After you
have touched the sensor, the relevant cooking zone or timer
display will start to flash. The cooking zone or the timer is
"active" whilst the displays are flashing and you can set a
power level or time.

Exception:

If only one of the cooking zones is in operation, you can alter
the power level without activating the cooking zone.

Take care to keep the control panel clean and do not
place anything on top of it. The sensors may fail to react or
they could mistake the article or any dirt for a fingertip
contact, thereby activating a function or even causing the
cooktop to switch off automatically (see " Safety
switch-off"). Do not place hot pans on the sensors. The
electronic unit underneath could get damaged.

29

Operation

Booster

The cooking zones are equipped with a Booster or
TwinBooster (see "Guide to the appliance").

When activated, the power is boosted for a maximum of
15 minutes so that large quantities can be heated up quickly,
e.g. when boiling water for cooking pasta.

The Booster function can only be used on two cooking zones
at the same time.

If the Booster function is switched on when

no setting has been selected, the cooking zone will revert

–

automatically to setting 9 at the end of the booster time or if
the booster function is switched off before this.

– a setting has been selected, the cooking zone will revert

automatically to the setting selected at the end of the
booster time or if the booster function is switched off
before this.

Taking a pan off the zone whilst the Booster is in operation
will not interrupt the Booster time.

30

Cooking zones are networked in pairs to supply the power for
the Booster function.

When the Booster function is selected, a proportion of energy
is taken away from the linked cooking zone and the following
happens within the pairs:

- Auto heat-up is deactivated

- The power level is reduced

- The linked cooking zone is switched off.

In TwinBooster level II, the entire available power is
concentrated on the selected cooking zone, while Booster
B II or TwinBooster BI allows another cooking zone on the
same circuit to be in operation.

To switch on the Booster

Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want.

^

Select a power level if you wish.

Operation

Keeping warm function

Each cooking zone has a keeping warm function "h". The "h"
function is between the "0" setting and the "1" setting.

This function is for keeping food that has just been cooked
warm, i.e. food that is still hot. It is not for reheating food
that has gone cold.

If the keeping warm function has been activated, the cooking
zone will switch off automatically after a maximum of 2 hours.

To set the keeping warm function

Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want.

^

^ Touch the area between the "0" setting and the "1" setting.

"h" will light up in the display.

Useful tips

– Only use pans for keeping food warm. Cover the pan with

a lid.

32

– You do not have to stir food while it is being kept warm.

–

Nutrients are lost when food is cooked, and this will
continue when food is kept warm. The longer food is kept
warm for, the greater the loss of nutrients. Try to ensure
that food is kept warm for as short a time as possible.

mechanism. Before the induction coils or cooling elements
get too hot, the overheating protection mechanism cuts in in
one of the following ways:

Induction coils

If the booster function is being used, this will be switched

–

off.

The power level will be reduced.

–

The cooking zone will switch off automatically.

–

"FE" will flash in the timer display alternately with "44".

You will be able to use the cooking zones again as usual
when the fault code has gone out.

Cooling elements

– If the booster function is being used, this will be switched

off.

Safety features

– The power level will be reduced.

– The cooking zones will switch off automatically.

The affected cooking zones can only be used again as usual
once the cooling element has cooled down to a safe level.

The overheating mechanism can be triggered by:

–

41

Cleaning and care

Danger of injury.
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 the appliance after cleaning.

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,

42

– solvent-based cleaning agents,

–

dishwasher cleaner,

–

grill and oven cleaners,

–

glass cleaning agents,

–

hard, abrasive brushes or sponges, e.g. pot scourers, 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 cooktop regularly with a suitable ceramic
cooktop cleaning agent.

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

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

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

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

Danger of burning.
Protect your hands with oven gloves before using a
shielded scraper blade to remove sugar, plastic or
aluminium residues from the hot cooktop.

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 cooktop immediately whilst they
are still hot, using a shielded scraper blade.
Allow the appliance to cool down and then clean as
described above.

43

Programming

You can change the default settings of the programme
options (see chart). Several settings can be altered in
succession.

After selecting programming mode, P (Programme) and S
(Status) will appear in the timer display. On cooktops with 3
cooking zones, an additional indicator will appear at the rear
left.

The programme is shown in the cooking zone displays at the

Safety distances underneath the
cooktop

To ensure sufficient ventilation to the
cooktop, a certain gap must be left
between the underside of the cooktop
and any oven, interim shelf or drawer.

The minimum gap between the
underside of the cooktop and

the top of an oven is 15 mm.

–

the top of an interim shelf is 15 mm.

–

the base of a drawer is 75 mm.

–

Interim shelf

It is not necessary to fit an interim shelf
underneath the cooktop, but one may
be fitted if you wish.

Leave a gap of 10 mm at the back of
the shelf to accommodate the cable.
We recommend a gap at the front of the
shelf of 20 mm to ensure good
ventilation.

Notes on installation

Seal between the cooktop and the
worktop

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

Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone) between the
appliance and the worktop.
This could cause difficulties if the
appliance ever needs to be taken
out for servicing and possibly result
in damage to the cooktop or the
worktop.

Tiled worktop

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

Tiled worktops must be a minimum
of 5 mm thick to ensure the surface
temperatures of the combustible
surfaces underneath the tiles do not
exceed 50 K above ambient.

Installation

Preparing the worktop

Make the worktop cut-out for one or

^

more appliances as applicable.
Remember to maintain a minimum
safety distance (see "Safety
clearances").

Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable

^

heat-resistant sealant to avoid
swelling caused by moisture.

Make sure these materials do not
come into contact with the surface
of the worktop.

This cooktop has a seal underneath it
to keep the cooktop securely in
position. Clamps are not required.
Any gap between the frame and
worktop will reduce with time.

Connecting the mains connection
cable to the appliance

Installing the cooktop

Feed the mains connection cable

^

down through the cut-out.

Place the cooktop centrally in the

^

cut-out. When doing this, make sure
that the seal of the appliance sits
flush with the worktop on all sides.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone).

If, during installation, you find that the
seals on the corners are not flush
with the worktop, the corner radii

ß R4, can be carefully scribed to fit.

^ Connect the cooktop to the mains.

^ Check that the cooktop works.

The mains connection cable must
be connected by a suitably qualified
and competent electrician in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations.

^

Connect the mains connection to the
appliance according to the
connection diagram (see "Electrical
connection").

Electrical connection

All electrical work should be carried
out by a suitably qualified and
competent person, in strict
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations.

Connection should be made via a
suitable isolator which complies with
national and local safety regulations,
and the On/Off switch should be easily
accessible after the appliance has
been built in.

Installation, repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.

A damaged cable must be replaced
by a suitably qualified electrician
with a special connection cable of
type H 05 VV-F, available from
Miele.

Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance until after installation or
repair work has been carried out.

The appliance must only be
operated when built-in. This is to
ensure that all electrical parts are
shielded. Live parts must not be
exposed.

Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. These do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance.

If the switch is not accessible after
installation (depending on country) an
additional means of disconnection must
be provided for all poles.

For extra safety it is advisable to protect
the appliance with a residual current
device (RCD). Please contact a
qualified electrician for advice.

When switched off there must be an
all-pole contact gap of at least 3 mm in
the isolator switch (including switch,
fuses and relays).

The appliance is supplied for
connection to a 230-240 V, 50 Hz
supply with a 3-core cable.

The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the
following code:

Green/yellow = earth

Blue = neutral

Brown = live

(+ black and grey, 5 wire only)

Please make sure that the connection
data quoted on the data plate matches
the household mains supply.
