16

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 appliance. 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.

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.

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.

17

Warning and Safety instructions

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 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.

Lift pans into position on the hob. Sliding them into place can

~

cause scuffs and scratches.

18

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.

Do not place hot pans on the sensors and display as this could

~

cause damage to the electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans
on the area around the display.

Induction heating works extremely quickly and 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 hob 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 hob.

Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the hob can become hot if

~

the appliance is used intensively for a long time. Do not store any
metal items or utensils in a drawer under the hob.

19

Warning and Safety instructions

This hob is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly

~

underneath the hob, 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 hob.
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

~

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 hob is built in over a pyrolitic oven or cooker, the hob

~

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

20

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material

The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are 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.

Disposing of your old
appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also 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 therefore dispose of it with your
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.

21

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, data plate" section of this booklet.

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 hobs with bevelled glass edges, a small gap may be
visible between the hob 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.

When the appliance is used for the first time, it may give off a
slight smell and some vapours. This smell will be less
noticeable with each subsequent use before dissipating
completely.

22

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 hobs is
very much shorter than on conventional hobs.

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").

Induction automatically recognises the size of the pan, i.e.
heat is only generated in the area covered by the base of the
pan.

The cooking zone will not work:

– 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 this happens, ß will flash in the relevent cooking zone
display alternating with the power setting selected.

Induction

If a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone within
3 minutes, the ß will go out and you can continue as normal.

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

Take particular care never to place cutlery or other metal
objects on the hob. When the appliance is switched on
either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual
heat present, there is the risk of metal items heating up
with the danger of burning.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.

23

Induction

Noises

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

–

function") 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 settings.

The appliance has a cooling fan to help extend the life of the
electronics. When the hob is being used intensively, this will
come on and you will hear a whirring sound. The fan may
continue to run after the appliance has been switched off.

24

Pans

Induction

Suitable pans include:

stainless steel pans with a magnetic base

–

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 hob, hold a magnet to the base of the pan. If the
magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.

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. If the diameter of the pan is
smaller than the innermost marking, the induction heating will
not work. The zone will behave as if it had no pan on it.

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.

Make sure that pans are placed centrally on the cooking
zone.
If a pan is placed only partially on a zone, there is a risk
that the handle could get very hot.

25

Operation

How the hob is operated

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

To operate the hob, 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, 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 display is 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
hob to switch off automatically (see "Safety switch-off".)

26

Never place hot pans on the sensors. The electronic unit
underneath could get damaged.

Switching on

The hob must be switched on before any of the zones can be
used.

are only available if the power level range has been
extended (see "Programming").

Booster function

Operation

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

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

The Booster function can only be used on two cooking zones
at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.

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
interrupts the Booster function. It will resume if a pan is
placed back on the zone within 3 minutes.

The extra boost of energy is only available by taking a
proportion of energy away from another cooking zone. For
this reason, the cooking zones are networked in pairs.
Example:

When selecting the Booster/TwinBooster level 1 for a zone,
the following happens within the pairs:

–

If Auto heat-up is activated on the other zone within the
pair, this will be switched off.

–

If the other zone within the pair is set at power level 9, the
power level on that zone will be reduced.

If TwinBooster level 2 is selected, the other zone within the
networked pair will be switched off.

31

Operation

To switch on the Booster

Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want.

^

Select a power level if you wish.

Keeping warm function

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

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

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.

To set the keeping warm function

Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want.

^

Touch the area inbetween 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.

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

Operation

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.

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.

Safety features

Overheating protection

All the induction coils and the cooling elements for the
electronics are fitted with an overheating protection
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.

46

– 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:

–

Heating up an empty pan.

–

Fat or oil being heated up on a high power level.

–

Insufficient ventilation to the underside of the appliance.

–

A hot cooking zone being switched on after a power cut.

If the overheating protection mechanism triggers again,
contact the Service department.

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.

47

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.

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.

48

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.

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 hobs with 3
cooking zones, an additional indicator will appear at the rear
left.

The programme is shown in the cooking zone displays at the
front left and rear left. Example:
Programme 03 = front left 0, rear left 3
Programme 14 = front left 4, rear left 1

The status is shown in the front right cooking zone display.

Once you have left the programming mode, the hob will be
reset automatically. This is completed when an indicator
above the s sensor lights up briefly.

Do not switch the hob on again until the reset process is
completed.

Safety instructions for installation

Safety distance above the appliance

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.

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.

64

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 or a tall unit or
wall on one side (right or left) (see
illustrations).

a Minimum distance of 50 mm

between the back of the worktop
cut-out and the rear edge of the
worktop.

b Minimum distance of 50 mm

between the worktop cutout and a
wall or tall unit to the right of it.

c Minimum distance of 50 mm

between the worktop cutout and a
wall or tall unit to the left of it.

Safety instructions for installation

Safety distances underneath the hob

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

The minimum gap between the
underside of the hob 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 hob, 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.

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

edges

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 hob must not be sealed with
sealant (e.g. silicone).
This could result in damage to the
hob or the worktop if the hob 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.

Installing the hob

Preparing the worktop

Make the worktop cut-out according

^

to the dimensions given in the
building-in diagram. Remember to
maintain the minimum safety
distances (see "Safety instructions
for installation").

Seal the cut surfaces on

^

wood/laminated worktops with a
suitable heat-resistant sealant to
avoid swelling caused by moisture.

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

No spring clamps are needed to
install the hob. The sealing strip
underneath the hob positions it
securely in the cut-out.
Any gap between the frame and
worktop will reduce with time.

Installing the hob

Feed the mains connection cable

^

down through the cut-out.

Place the hob centrally in the cut-out.

^

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 corners of the frame are not
flush with the worktop surface, the
corner radius (ß R4) can be carefully
scribed to fit.

^ Connect the hob to the mains.

^ Check that the hob works.

Connecting the mains cable to the
appliance

The mains cable must only be
connected to the appliance by a
qualified and competent electrician
in strict accordance with current
local and national safety regulations
(BS 7671 in the UK).

^

Follow the instructions in the wiring
diagram (see "Electrical connection ­Wiring diagram").
