Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

Use the safety lock to prevent

children operating the appliance or altering the settings.

Keep children away from the

appliance at all times. It is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, do not allow them to play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.

Older children may use the

appliance only when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

The appliance gets hot when in use

and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the appliance at all times.

Keep all pans out of reach of

children. Turn pan handles inwards away from the edge of the hob. Danger of burning or scalding. Special hob guards are available from good retail outlets.

Packaging, e.g. cling film,

polystyrene and plastic wrappings, must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all packaging safely as soon as possible.

Do not store anything which might

arouse a child’s interest in storage areas above or next to the appliance. Otherwise they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk of burning themselves.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Before installation, check the

appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance, it could be dangerous.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Before connecting the appliance,

make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

For safety reasons, this appliance

may only be used after it has been built in.

Never open the housing of the

appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

Installation, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by a Miele authorised person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

During installation, maintenance and

repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– the mains fuse is disconnected, or

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable), or

– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug is withdrawn from the socket, or it is switched off at the isolator.

If the hob is fitted with a

communication module this must be disconnected from the electricity supply during installation and maintenance work and during any repair work to the hob.

While the appliance is under

guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

If the connection cable is damaged,

it must be replaced by a suitably qualified electrician with a specialist connection cable of type H 05 VV-F (pvc insulated), available from the Miele Spare Parts Department.

Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Do not use the hob if it is faulty, or if

the ceramic surface is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Switch it off immediately, and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Danger of electric shock.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Correct use

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, diskettes, pocket calculators etc, do not leave them in the immediate vicinity of the hob.

The appliance gets hot when in use

and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat indicators go out.

Do not leave the appliance

unattended whilst it is in use. Pans that have boiled dry can cause damage to the ceramic surface for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable. Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause a fire.

If, despite this, oil or fat does catch

fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with water. Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.

Warning and Safety instructions

For added protection, it is advisable

to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.

Do not flambé under a cooker hood.

The flames could set the cooker hood on fire.

Do not use the appliance as a

resting place for anything else. Take particular care never to place cutlery or other metal objects on the appliance. When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of metal objects heating up, with a danger of burning. Depending on the material, other objects left on the hob could also melt or catch fire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult to dislodge. Switch the cooking zones off after use.

Do not cover the appliance, e.g.

with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could be a fire hazard if the appliance is switched on by mistake.

Do not heat up unopened tins of

food on the hob, as pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode. This could result in injury and scalding or damage.

Do not use pots and pans on the

ceramic hob with bases with pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans. These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently.

Never heat an empty pan unless the

manufacturer of the pan expressly states that you can do so. Because induction heating works extremely quickly the base of the pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time.

Keep the hob clean. Grains of salt,

sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can cause scratches.

Never place hot pans on the area

around the controls. This could damage the electronic unit underneath.

Do not drop anything on the ceramic

surface. Even a light object could cause damage in certain circumstances.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil

containers. These melt at high temperatures, and could catch fire.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not allow either solid or liquid

sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot. If this should occur, switch off the appliance, and carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the hob whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scaper blade. Take care not to burn yourself. If residues are allowed to cool before being removed, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even cracking. Once the residues have been removed, allow the appliance to cool down, and then clean with a suitable proprietary ceramic hob cleaner.

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, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

This appliance 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 for 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.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other

inflammable substances must not be stored in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

Metal utensils stored in a drawer

under the hob can become hot if the induction hob is used intensively for a long time.

Always ensure that food is

sufficiently cooked or reheated. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at a sufficiently high temperature for long enough. Therefore, when cooking or reheating food such as poultry, it is particularly important that the food is completely cooked through. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

Do not use two pans on a

cooking/extended zone at the same time.

If the hob is installed behind a

furniture door it may only be operated with the door open. Do not close the door whilst the hob is in use or whilst there is any residual heat left in the appliance.

If the hob is built in over a pyrolitic

oven, 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).

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

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.

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.

Disposal 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. 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.

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.

Do not use washing up liquid to clean the ceramic surface as it can leave a blue sheen which may be difficult to remove.

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. The smell and any vapours will dissipate after a short time. They are not harmful and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance.

Before using for the first time

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

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").

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.

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.

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

–

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.

Induction

Pans

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.

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".)

Operation

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

Operation

Switching on

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

Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.

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

Operation

Booster function

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.

To switch on the Booster

Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want.

Select a power level if you wish.

Touch the B I/II sensor.

The indicator lamp for the Booster lights up, and h starts to flash in the cooking zone display.

After a few seconds, h will light up constantly and the indicator lamp will go out.

To switch on the TwinBooster

Level 1

^ Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want.

^ Select a power level if you wish.

^ Touch the B I/II sensor.

The indicator lamp for the Booster lights up, and f starts to flash in the cooking zone display. After a few seconds, f will light up constantly and the indicator lamp will go out.

Operation

Level 2

^ Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want.

Select a power level if you wish.

Touch the B I/II sensor twice.

The indicator lamp for the Booster lights up, and h starts to flash in the cooking zone display. After a few seconds, h will light up constantly and the indicator lamp will go out.

To switch off the Booster/TwinBooster

Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want.

Touch the B I/II sensor until the indicator lamp for the Booster goes out and the cooking zone setting shows in the display.

Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want.

Select a different power level.

Operation

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.

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.

Switching off and residual heat indicators

Switching off a cooking zone

Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want

twice.

A 0 will flash in the cooking zone display for a few seconds. If the cooking zone is still hot, the residual heat indicator will then appear in the display.

Switching off the hob

Touch the s sensor.

This switches off all cooking zones. The residual heat indicator will appear in the display of any cooking zone which is still hot.

Residual heat indicators

The lines of the residual heat indicator go out one after another as the cooking zone cools down. The last horizontal line only goes out when the cooking zone is safe to touch.

Do not touch or place any heat-sensitive objects on the cooking zones while the residual heat indicators are on. Danger of burning.

Operation

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

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this

appliance. The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

The appliance should be cleaned regularly, preferably 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.

Cleaning and care

Ceramic surface

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 a suitable 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 appliance 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 a ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner.

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 with a suitable ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner.

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.

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.
