Special feature

Hobs bearing the < symbol in the top left-hand corner are suitable for connecting to the Miele|home system (see "Optional accessories").

Warning and Safety instructions

This hob complies with all relevant local and national safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the hob, please read these instructions carefully before installation and before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, use and maintenance.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.

Correct application

This hob is not designed for

commercial use. It is intended for use in domestic households and in similar working and residential environments such as:

Shops

–

Offices and showrooms

–

and by residents in establishments such as:

Hostels and guest houses.

–

This hob is intended for domestic

use only to cook food and keep it warm. Any other use is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

This hob is not intended for outdoor

use.

This hob is not intended for use by

people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it by a person responsible for their safety.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

Use the safety lock to prevent

children operating the hob or altering the settings.

Keep children away from the hob 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 hob only

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

The hob 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.

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 hob. Otherwise they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk of burning themselves.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".)

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
