supply.
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 it from the mains electricity supply and contact Miele.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
If the cooktop is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a door),
ensure that the door is never closed whilst the cooktop is in use.
Heat and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture panel and
cause subsequent damage to the cooktop, the housing unit and the
floor. Do not close the door until the residual heat indicators have
gone out.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
The cooktop 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.
Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite, do not
attempt to put the flames out with water.
Switch off the cooktop and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid,
damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
Flames could set the grease filters of a rangehood on fire. Do not
flambé under a rangehood.
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 heatresistant.
Do not heat an empty pan.
Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the cooktop, as pressure can build up in the containers, causing
them 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
cooktop is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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-held food mixer,
near the cooktop, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance
cannot come into contact with the hot cooktop. The insulation on the
cable 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
ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.
Even a light object can cause damage in certain circumstances.
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
Placing hot pans on the sensors and indicators could damage the
electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the sensors or
indicators.
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 clean
them with a suitable ceramic cooktop cleaning agent.
Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
not leave the cooktop unattended whilst it is being used.
Only use pots and pans with smooth bases. Rough bases will
scratch the ceramic glass.
Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Induction heating works extremely quickly. Therefore, the base of
the pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat selfignites within a very short time. Do not leave the cooktop 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 very 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
electromagnetic fields, e.g. credit cards, digital storage devices,
pocket calculators, etc., do not leave them in the immediate vicinity
of the cooktop.
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 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
PowerFlex zone at the same time.
If the pan only partially covers the cooking zone, the handle could
become very hot.
Ensure that you always place the pan in the middle of the cooking
zone.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach the 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 packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally 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 valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

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 "Service" section of this
booklet. Alternatively, the additional
label can be stuck near the appliance
if the appliance markings are not
visible after installation.
Remove any protective wrapping and
stickers.
Cleaning the cooktop for the first time
Before using for the first time, clean
the cooktop with a damp cloth only
and then wipe dry.
Switching on the cooktop 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.
21
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 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 (nonmagnetic 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 any metal
items placed on the cooktop (e.g.
cutlery) heating up.
Danger of burning!
Do not use the cooktop as a resting
place for items. Switch the cooking
zones off after use with the
appropriate sensor and do not rely
on the pan detector.
– 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, 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
will switch off automatically after 3
minutes.
