- the plug fuses have been fully unscrewed or
- the power plug (if present) is removed from the outlet. To do this,
pull the plug not the cord.
If the cooktop is fitted with a communication module, in addition
to disconnecting the cooktop, this module must also be
disconnected from the electrical supply during installation and
maintenance of the cooktop as well as while any repair work is being
carried out
8
Warnings and safety instructions
Danger of electric shock. Do not use the cooktop if it is faulty, or if
the ceramic surface is cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way.
Switch it off immediately. Disconnect the cooktop from the power
supply. Contact Miele Service.
If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the
door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build
up behind the closed door. This can result in damage to the cooktop,
cabinet carcase, and floor. Do not close the door until the residual
heat indicators go out.
9
Warnings and safety instructions
Correct 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.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended whilst it is being used. It
should be continually monitored whilst boiling and flash frying.
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 cooktop 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 cooking
zones off after use.
10
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.
Do not place hot pans on the sensor buttons and display as this
could cause damage to the electronics underneath. Do not place hot
pans on the area around the display.
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum
foil to get onto the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage the
ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off the
cooktop immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or
aluminum residues while still hot, using a shielded scraper blade.
Wear oven mitts when doing this. Allow the ceramic surface to cool
down before cleaning 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.
11
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 base of the
cookware could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat selfignites within a very short time. Never leave the cooktop unattended
when it is on!
Do not heat oils and fats for longer than 1minute, 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.
Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the cooktop can become
hot if the appliance is used intensively for a long time.
The cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan. If a drawer is located
directly underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient space
between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the
cooktop in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the cooktop.
If a drawer is located directly underneath the cooktop, do not
store any pointed or small items, paper, serviettes, etc. in the drawer.
They could get in through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the
casing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.
Never use two items of cookware on a cooking zone, casserole
cooking zone, or PowerFlex area at the same time.
12
Warnings and safety instructions
If the cookware only partially covers a cooking zone or casserole
cooking zone, the handle could become very hot.
Always place cookware in the middle of a cooking zone or casserole
cooking zone.
If an induction adapter plate is used for cookware, the induction
generators may be damaged or even destroyed. Do not use
induction adapter plates.
13
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).
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the
discontinuation of your cooktop.
14
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 the
amount of waste.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for the proper
functioning and safe use of the
equipment. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Therefore, please
do not dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please
ensure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal.

Initial commissioning
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 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.
21
Induction
Mode of operation
An induction coil is located under each
cooking zone. The coil creates a
magnetic field that reacts directly with
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 piece of cookware with a
magnetic base is placed on it (see
“Induction – Cookware”). The induction
cooking zone automatically recognizes
the size of the cookware.
Risk of burning due to hot items.
When the cooktop is switched on
either deliberately or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present,
there is the risk of metal items placed
on the cooktop heating up.
Do not use the cooktop to store
items.
After use, switch the cooktop off with
the sensor control.
Cookware
Suitable cookware
- Stainless steel with a magnetic base
- Enamel-coated steel
- Cast iron
The composition of the cookware base
can affect the evenness of the cooking
results (e.g., when making pancakes).
The base of the pan must be able to
distribute the heat evenly. A sandwich
base made of stainless steel is
particularly suitable.
Unsuitable cookware
- Stainless steel without a magnetic
base
- Aluminum or copper
- Glass, ceramic, earthenware,
stoneware
Testing cookware
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable
for use on an induction cooktop, hold a
magnet to its base. If the magnet sticks,
the cookware is generally suitable.
22
Induction
No cookware/unsuitable cookware
display
In the cooking zone indicator, the
symbol will flash alternately with the
selected power level if:
- the cooking zone has been switched
on without cookware in place, or if
the cookware is unsuitable (nonmagnetic base)
- the bottom diameter of the cookware
being used is too small
- the cookware is removed from a
cooking zone that is on
If a suitable item of cookware is placed
on the cooking zone within 3minutes,
will go out and you can continue as
normal.
If no cookware or unsuitable cookware
is placed on the cooking zone, the
cooking zone will switch off
automatically after 3minutes.
Tips
- To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose cookware with a
suitable base diameter (see
“Overview”, “Cooking zone data”). If
the cookware is too small it will not
be recognized.
- Position the cookware as centrally as
possible on the relevant cooking
zone/cooking area.
- Use only pots and pans with smooth
bases. Rough bases can scratch the
ceramic glass.
- Always lift the cookware to move it.
This will help prevent scratching. If
any scratches do appear as a result
of cookware being pushed around,
this will not affect the function of the
cooktop. These scratches are normal
signs of use and are not grounds for
making a complaint.
- 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.
- If possible, use pans with straight
sides. If pans with sloped sides are
used, the induction also takes effect
around the edges of the pan. This
can cause the edge of the pan to
become discolored or the coating to
peel off.
23
Induction
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 levels, the
appliance might buzz. This will
decrease or cease altogether when the
power level 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 “Operation”,
“Booster”) are simultaneously in use
and cookware with bottoms made of
different materials (e.g.,sandwich
bottoms) is placed on them.
The electronics may produce a clicking
sound, especially at lower power levels.
You may 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
cooktop has been turned off.
24
- Use a lid whenever possible to
minimize heat loss.
- For small quantities, select a small
pan. A small pan on a small cooking
zone uses less energy than a large,
only partially filled pan on a large
cooking zone.
- 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.
26
Operation
Basic operation
The ceramic cooktop is equipped with
electronic sensor buttons that react to
finger contact. During activation, the
On/Off sensor button must be
pressed somewhat longer than the
other buttons for safety reasons.
Each reaction of the buttons is
acknowledged with an audible signal.
The cooking zones and the timer have
to be “active” when you want to set or
adjust a power level or the duration. To
activate the zone or the timer, tap the
selection button of the corresponding
zone or the timer. After the selection
button is tapped, the corresponding
zone or timer indicator light will flash.
While the indicator light is flashing, set
or adjust the power level or the
duration.
Exception: If there is only one cooking
zone in operation, you can set or adjust
the power level without activating it
first.
Malfunction can occur due to
dirty and/or covered sensor
buttons.
If the sensor buttons are dirty or
covered this could cause them to fail
to react, to activate a function, or
even to switch the cooktop off
automatically (see “Safety features”,
“Safety shut-off”). Placing hot
cookware on the sensor
buttons/indicators can damage the
electronic underneath.
Keep the sensor buttons and
indicators clean.
Do not place anything over the
sensor buttons or indicators.
Do not place hot cookware over the
sensor buttons or indicators.

Operation
Booster
The cooking zones are equipped with a
booster or TwinBooster function (see
“Overview – Cooktop”).
When activated, the power is boosted
so that large quantities can be heated
up quickly; e.g., when boiling water for
cooking pasta. The boost in power is
active for a maximum of 15minutes.
The booster function can only be used
on two cooking zones at the same time.
If the booster function is turned on
when
- no power level has been selected,
the cooking zone will revert
automatically to level 9 at the end of
the booster time or if the booster
function is turned off before this.
- a power level 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 turned off before this.
The cooking zones are connected in
pairs in order to provide sufficient
power for the booster function. While
the booster function is in operation,
some of the power is taken away from
the linked cooking zone. This has one
of the following effects:
- Auto heat-up is deactivated.
- The power level is reduced.
- The linked cooking zone is switched
off.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the ceramic surface
Risk of damage from sharp and
pointed objects.
The seal between the cooktop and
the countertop could be damaged.
The seal between the ceramic
surface and the frame could be
damaged.
Do not use sharp and pointed
objects for cleaning.
Using dish detergent 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. This discolouration cannot
be removed.
Clean the 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 ceramic surface with
the Miele Ceramic and Stainless Steel
Cleaner (see “Optional accessories –
Cleaning and care products”) or with
a proprietary ceramic cleaner applied
with a paper towel or a clean cloth.
Do not put the cleaner on a hot
cooktop since this may cause
spotting. Please follow the cleaning
agent manufacturer’s instructions.
Residues can burn onto the cooktop
the next time it is used and cause
damage to the ceramic surface.
Ensure that all cleaning agent residues
are removed.
Spots from lime deposits, water, and
aluminum deposits (shiny metallic
spots) can be removed with a
ceramic and stainless steel cleaner.
Risk of burning due to hot
cooking zones.
The cooking zones are hot during
use.
Wear oven mitts when using a
scraper blade to remove sugar,
plastic, or aluminum foil residues
from a hot cooktop.
Should any sugar, plastic, or
aluminum foil spill or fall onto a hot
cooking zone while it is in use, first
switch off the cooktop.
Then carefully scrape off these
residues immediately while they are
still hot, using a shielded scraper
blade.
Afterwards, clean the ceramic surface
in its cooled state, as described
above.
Remove any cleaner residue with a
damp cloth and then dry the ceramic
surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
With the help of the following guide, minor faults in the performance of the
machine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remedied
without contacting the Service Department. This will save you time and money
because you won't need a service call.
This guide may help you find the reason for the fault and help you correct it.
Problem Possible cause and solution
Cooktop or cooking
zones cannot be turned
on.
There is a strange smell
or vapours when the
cooktop is being used
for the first time.
In the cooking zone
display, the symbol
will flash alternately
with the selected power
level or .
After the cooktop has
been switched on,
appears in the timer
display for a few
seconds.
There is no power to the cooktop.
Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. Contact a
qualified electrician or Miele Service (for the
minimum fuse rating, see data plate).
There may be a technical fault.
Disconnect the cooktop from the power supply for
approx. 1 minute by
– tripping the relevant circuit breaker or screwing
the fuse out completely, or
– tripping the ground-fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI).
If, after resetting/replacing the fuse or the GFCI,
the cooktop will still not turn on, contact a
qualified electrician or Miele Service.
Metal components are protected by a conditioning
agent. When the cooktop is used for the first time,
this causes a smell and possibly also vapours. The
material from which the induction coils are made also
gives off an odour in the first few hours of operation.
With each subsequent use, the odour is reduced until
it disappears completely. The odour and any vapours
do not indicate a faulty connection or a defective
appliance and are not harmful to your health.
Unsuitable cookware has been placed on the
cooking zone.
Use suitable cookware (see “Induction”,
“Cookware”).
The system lock or safety lock is activated.
Deactivate the system lock or safety lock (see
“Safety features – System lock/safety lock”).

This cooktop must not be installed above ovens or cookers unless
these have a built-in cooling down fan.
Ensure that the power cord cannot be touched after the cooktop
has been installed.
After the installation of the cooktop, the electrical cord may not
come into contact with any moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer) or
be subject to mechanical stress.
Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the following
pages.

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 760 mm (30").
If there is more than one appliance
installed below the ventilation hood,
each with a different safety
clearance, the largest clearance must
be used.
54
*INSTALLATION*
Safety clearances to the sides and back of the cooktop
Ideally the cooktop should be installed
with plenty of space on either side.
The minimum distance shown below
must be maintained between the back
of the cooktop and a tall unit or wall.
Installation
The minimum distance , shown
below must be maintained between a
tall unit or a wall to the left or right of
the cooktop with a minimum distance of
300 mm (11 3/4") on the opposite side.
Minimum distance between the back
of the countertop cut-out and the rear
edge of the countertop:
50 mm (2")
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:
50 mm (2")
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:

Installation
Minimum clearance underneath the cooktop
To ensure proper ventilation of the
cooktop, a minimum clearance is
required between the appliance and an
oven, protective base, or drawer.
The minimum clearance from the
bottom of the cooktop to
- The top of an oven is ⁹/₁₆" (15mm).
- The top of an interim shelf is
⁹/₁₆" (15mm).
- The base of a drawer is 3" (75mm).
Protective base
Installation of a protective base under
the cooktop is allowed but not required.
Leave a gap of 7/16" (10mm) at the back
of the shelf to accommodate the cable.
We recommend a gap at the front of the
shelf of 13/16" (20mm) to ensure good
ventilation.
56
*INSTALLATION*
Installation
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
(2" ).
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 (2") minus the thickness of the covering.
For example: thickness of wall covering 15mm (3/16")
50mm (2") - 15mm (3/16") = minimum distance of 35mm (17/16")

Instructions for installation
Seal between cooktop and countertop
Damage caused by incorrect
installation.
Using sealant under the cooktop
could result in damage to the
cooktop and the countertop if the
cooktop ever needs to be removed
for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the
cooktop and the countertop.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the cooktop provides a sufficient seal
for 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.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the cooktop for service
purposes may damage the sealing
strip underneath the edge of the
cooktop.
Always replace the sealing strip
before reinstalling the cooktop.

Installation
Create the countertop cut-out.
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Installation” –
“Safety distances”).
Seal any cut surfaces on wooden
countertops 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.
Ensure that the sealant does not get
on the top surface of the countertop.
Attach the sealing strip provided
underneath the edge of the cooktop.
Do not apply the sealing strip under
tension.
Risk of damage from incorrect
connection.
The electronics of the cooktop may
be damaged if a short-circuit occurs.
The power cable must be connected
to the cooktop by a qualified
electrician.
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.
Connect the cooktop to the electricity
supply (see “Installation – Electrical
connection”).
Check that the cooktop works.
Connect the power cable to the
cooktop by following the instructions
in the wiring diagram (see
“Installation – Electrical connection”).
Feed the cooktop power cable down
through the cut-out in the countertop.
Place the cooktop centrally in the
cut-out. When doing this, make sure
that the seal of the appliance sits
flush with the countertop on all sides.
This is important to ensure an
effective seal all round.
