IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by
a Miele authorized service technician in accordance with national and local safety regulations and the provided installation instruc‐ tions. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for examina‐ tion, repair or adjustment. Repairs and other work by unauthorized persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so. Service work may only be performed by a qualified technician.
A damaged cooktop can be dangerous. Always check for visible
signs of damage. Never use a damaged appliance.
Reliable and safe operation of the cooktop can only be guaran‐
teed if it is connected to the public power supply.
Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appli‐ ance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.
Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been instal‐
led correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified technician.
To avoid damaging the cooktop, make sure that the connection
data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the building's power supply before connecting the appliance. When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a pow‐
er bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guaran‐ tee the required safety of the appliance.
For safety reasons, the cooktop may only be used when it has
been fully installed.
7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the cooktop will endanger your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions. Do not open the casing of the cooktop under any circumstances.
Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized service techni‐
cian will void the warranty.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safe‐ ty of the appliance.
The appliance is not intended for use with an external timer switch
or a remote control system.
Connection of the cooktop to the electrical power supply must
only be performed by a qualified electrician (see "Electrical connec‐ tion").
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified
electrician with a special power cord, which is available from Miele Service. See "Electrical connection."
The appliance must be completely disconnected from the elec‐
tricity supply during installation, maintenance and repair work. En‐ sure that power is not supplied to the appliance until after it has been installed or until any maintenance or repair work has been car‐ ried out. Disconnect by
– removing the fuse, – "tripping" the circuit breaker, or – unplugging the unit (if equipped with plug). Pull the plug not the
cord.
8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If the cooktop is fitted with a communication module, in addition
to disconnecting the cooktop, this module must also be disconnect‐ ed from the electrical supply during installation and maintenance of the cooktop as well as while any repair work is being carried out.
Risk of electric shock!
If the ceramic surface of the cooktop is defective or chipped, cracked or broken in any way, immediately turn the cooktop off and do not continue to use it. Disconnect the cooktop from the power supply and contact Miele.
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 and cause damage to the cooktop, cab‐ inetry, and flooring. Do not close the door until the cooktop has completely cooled down.
9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper use

The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while af‐
ter being turned off. There is a potential hazard until the residual heat indicator goes out.
When in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat,
which can cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire. Never use the cooktop to heat the room.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking on high pow‐
er. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter, which can ignite on the cooktop.
Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the appliance
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.
Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing
agent or foam fire extinguisher.
Storage in or on the appliance: Flammable materials should not
be stored in an oven or in the vicinity of the cooktop.
The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on
fire. Do not flambé under a ventilation 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-resist‐ ant.
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.
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 turned on inadvertently. Never cover the cooktop with a board, cloth or protec‐ tive sheet.
If the cooktop is turned 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 burn‐ ers off after use!
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 using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near the
cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into con‐ tact 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 under pan bases. Make sure that the ce‐ ramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.
Even a light object 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.
11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum
foil to get onto the burners when they are hot, as they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off the appliance and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminum resi‐ dues while still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Wear oven gloves. Allow the burners to cool down and clean them with a suita‐ ble ceramic cleaning agent.
Pans that boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do not
leave the appliance unattended while it is being used.
Pots and pans with bases with pronounced edges or ridges can
scratch the ceramic burner. Only use pots and pans with smooth bases.
Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
Fire hazard! Loose-fitting or hanging garments can catch fire. Be
sure to wear appropriately fitting clothing when cooking. Never allow loose clothing or flammable materials to come into contact with the burners while the burners are in use.
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 the
area immediately surrounding the cooktop is electromagnetically charged. 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.
12
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the cooktop 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 cooktop.
This cooktop is equipped 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 appli‐ ance 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 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 roasting zone.
Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if they
are used to wipe spilled food off a hot burner. Some cleansers can emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be care‐ ful when cleaning the cooktop.
If the burner is damaged, cleansers or spilled food can penetrate
the glass surface and cause a short-circuit. Never cook on a dam‐ aged burner. Contact an electrician immediately.
13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
The steam may reach electrical components and cause a short cir‐ cuit.
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).

Please adhere the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this doc‐ umentation in the space provided in the "Technical service, data plate, warranty" section of this manual.
Remove any protective foil and stick‐
ers.

Cleaning the cooktop for the first time

Before first use, wipe down the appli‐
ance with a damp cloth and dry it.

Before using for the first time

Turning on the cooktop for the first time

Metal components are protected by a conditioning agent. Smells and vapor may occur when the appliance is used for the first time. The heating of the in‐ duction coils also causes odors in the first few hours of operation. With each subsequent use, the odor is reduced until it disappears entirely.
The smell and any vapors do not indi‐ cate a faulty connection or a defective appliance and are not harmful to your health.
Please note that the heat-up time for induction cooktops is very much shorter than for conventional cook‐ tops.
19

Induction

How it works

An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When a zone is turned on, this coil creates a magnetic field that impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats it up. The 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 zone automatically recognizes the size of the pan.
In the cooking zone indicator, the sym‐ bol will flash alternately with the se‐ lected power setting:
– No cookware or unsuitable cookware
(items without a magnetizable bot‐ tom) is being used.
– The bottom diameter of the cook‐
ware being used is too small.
– The cookware is removed from a
cooking zone that is on.
When the appliance is turned on
either inadvertently or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of the metal items heating up.
Danger of burns! Do not use the cooktop as a storage
space. Turn the zones off after use with the appropriate sensor buttons.
If suitable cookware is placed on the cooking zone within 3 minutes, the goes out, and you can continue as usu‐ al.
If no cookware or if unsuitable cook‐ ware is used, the cooking zone will au‐ tomatically turn off after 3 minutes.
