14

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Before installation, check the hob for

~

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

The electrical safety of this hob can

~

only be guaranteed if correctly earthed.
It is most important that this basic
safety requirement is observed and
regularly tested, and where there is any
doubt, the electrical system in the
house should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. Miele cannot be
held liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).

Before connecting the hob, 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 hob may

~

only be used after it has been built in.

Do not open the casing of the hob.

~

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
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
national and local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. Miele
cannot be held liable for unauthorised
work.

During installation, maintenance and

~

repair work, the hob must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply.
Ensure that power is not supplied to the
appliance until after it has been
installed or until after any maintenance
or repair work has been carried out.

If the hob is fitted with a

~

communication module, in addition to
disconnecting the hob, this module
must also be disconnected from the
mains electricity during installation and
maintenance of the hob as well as while
any repair work is being carried out.
Ensure that power is not supplied to the
hob or the communication module until
the hob has been installed or until after
any maintenance or repair work has
been carried out.

While the hob is under guarantee,

~

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

15

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 hob 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 V V-F
(pvc insulated), available from Miele.

Do not connect the hob to the mains

~

electricity supply by a multi-socket
adapter 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 areas which may be subject to

~

infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the hob 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 hob 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 hob unattended

~

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

If 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.

16

Use heat-resistant pot holders or

~

gloves when using the hob. 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not flambé under a cooker hood.

~

The flames could set the cooker hood
on fire.

Do not use the hob as a resting

~

place for anything.
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 hob, e. g. with a

~

hob cover, a cloth or protective foil.
This could present a fire hazard if the
appliance is switched on by mistake or
it is still warm.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil

~

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

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.

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. The electronic unit
underneath could get damaged.

Do not drop anything on the ceramic

~

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

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 hob, and 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.
If residues are allowed to cool before
being removed, the ceramic surface
would be susceptible to pitting or even
cracking.
Clean the appliance once it has cooled
down.

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.

17

Warning and Safety instructions

When using an electrical appliance,

~

e.g. a hand-held food blender, near the
hob, ensure that the cable of the
electrical appliance cannot come into
contact with the hot hob. The insulation
on the cable could become damaged,
giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

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

Do not use two pans on a

~

cooking/extended zone at the same
time.

If the hob 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
left in the appliance.

If the hob is installed behind a

~

kitchen furniture door, it may only be
used with the furniture door open.
Only close the door when the appliance
is switched off and the residual heat
indicators have gone out.

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

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.

18

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.

19

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.

The smell and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance and they are not hazardous to
health.

20

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, the numbers 1 to 9 will flash on the keypad
concerned.

Induction

If a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone within
3 minutes, the numbers will light up constantly, 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.

21

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.

22

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.

23

Use

How the appliance is operated

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

When the hob is switched off only the symbols for the sensors
for switching the hob on and off and the safety lock are
visible.

When the hob is switched on all the other sensors light up as
well. On each of the numerical keypads, "0" lights up at
brightness level 2, and numbers 1-9 at brightness level 1.
If a power level is selected, the numbers from "0" to the level
set will light up in brightness level 2.

If the booster or keeping warm function is selected, the
relevant sensor will light up at brightness level 2.

To operate the hob, touch the relevant sensor. Each time you
touch a sensor, an audible tone sounds.

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".)

24

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.

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

To switch the hob on

Touch the s sensor.

^

All of the sensors will light up. If no other setting is selected,
the hob will switch off after a few seconds for safety reasons.

Activating the cooking zones

A cooking zone is not active if only the "0" is lit up in the
numerical keypad. Touch the "0" to activate the zone. All the
power levels will light up.

Setting the power level

Standard power level range

^ Touch the appropriate number on the numerical keypad of

the cooking zone you wish to use.

Booster function

Use

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.

29

Use

Whilst the booster is switched on, the B sensor and all of the
numbers in the relevant numerical keypad are lit up at
brightness level 2.

Keeping warm function

Each cooking zone has a keeping warm function.

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 switch the keeping warm function on/off

Touch the 2 sensor for the cooking zone you want.

^

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.

"FE" will flash in the time display alternately with "44".

You will be able to use the cooking zones again as usual
when the fault message has gone out.

Cooling elements

– If the booster function is being used, this will be switched

off.

44

– The power level will be reduced.

– The cooking zones 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.

Overheating can be caused by:

–

Heating up an empty pan.

–

Fats or oils being heated up on the highest power setting.

–

There being 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.

45

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.

46

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 the programming mode has been called up, 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 numerical keypad displays at
the front left and rear left. Example:
Programme 3 = front left 3, rear left 0
Programme 14 = front left 4, rear left 1

The status is shown in the numerical keypad display at the
front right.

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.

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 of

^

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).

Installing the hob

Flush fit hobs are only suitable for
installation in granite, marble, tiled or
solid wood worktops.
When using a worktop made from
any other material, please check first
with the worktop manufacturer that it
is suitable for installing a flush fit
hob.
Certain models are suitable for
building into glass worktops - please
see advice under "Building-in
dimensions".

The internal width of the base unit
must be at least as wide as the
internal cut-out width for the hob
(see "Building-in dimensions"). This
is to ensure that the casing can be
easily removed for maintenance.
If the underside of the hob is not
freely accessible after installation,
any sealant used to plug the gaps
around the appliance must be
removed to enable the hob to be
lifted out of the cut-out should this
be necessary.

The hob can be installed

in a suitable cut-out in a granite or

–

marble worktop.

in a suitable cut-out in a tiled or solid

–

wood worktop or a glass worktop
with a wooden support frame. The
frame must be provided on site, and
is not supplied with the appliance.
