Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re­pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check
the hob for visible signs of damage.
Reliable and safe operation of this hob can only be assured if it
has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The electrical safety of this hob can only be guaranteed when cor-
rectly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.
To avoid the risk of damage to the hob, make sure that the con-
nection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply before connecting it to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
Do not connect the hob to the mains electrical supply by a multi-
socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
For safety reasons, this hob may only be used after it has been
built in.
This hob must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
Never open the casing of the hob.
Touching or tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
While the hob is under warranty, repairs should only be under-
taken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the war­ranty is invalidated.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
The hob is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a
remote control system.
The hob must be connected to the electricity supply by a qualified
electrician (see "Electrical connection").
If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special connection cable typeH05V2 V2-F (PVC insulated). See "Electrical connection".
The hob must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply
during installation, maintenance and repair work. Ensure that power is not supplied to the appliance until after it has been installed or un­til any maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
Danger of electric shock.

8
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

The hob gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after be-
ing 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 hob unat-
tended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not attempt to put the flames out with water. Disconnect the hob from the mains and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do
not flambé under a cooker 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 hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
Do not heat an empty pan.Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the hob, as pressure can build up in the container, causing it to explode.
Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective
foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the hob is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mis-
take, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of any metal items left on the hob heating up, with the danger of burning. Depending on the material, other items left on the hob 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.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
You could burn yourself on the hot hob. 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 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.
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 hob cleaning agent.
Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
not leave the hob 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 hob. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Induction heating works extremely quickly and so the base of the
pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time. Do not leave the hob 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 hob 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 electromag-
netic fields, e.g. credit cards, digital storage devices, pocket calcu­lators, etc, do not leave them in the immediate vicinity of the hob.
Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the hob 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 hob.
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 of 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.
Do not use two pans on a cooking zone, extended zone or Power-
Flex 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.
Only use the wok pan supplied with the appliance. For safety
reasons, other wok pans must not be used. See "Induction - Pans".
11
Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this hob.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short cir­cuit.
If the hob is built in over a pyrolytic oven, the hob should not be
used whilst the pyrolytic process is being carried out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the hob (see relev­ant section).
12

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater­ial
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should 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.
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, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also respons­ible (by law, depending on country) for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of. 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 "After sales service" section of this booklet.
Remove any protective wrapping and
stickers.

Cleaning the hob for the first time

Before using for the first time, clean
the hob with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry.

Switching on the hob 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 hobs is very much shorter than on conventional hobs.
19

Induction

How it works

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 pan with a magnetic base is placed on it (see "Pans"). Induction automatically recognises the size of the pan.
The symbol flashes alternately with the power setting selected in one of the cooking zone displays
– if the zone has been 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.
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 hob (e.g. cutlery) heating up.
Danger of burning. Do not use the appliance as a resting
place for anything else. Switch the cooking zones off after use with the appropriate sensor control.
If a suitable pan is placed on the cook­ing zone within 3 minutes, the 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.
20

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") 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 power settings.
Induction
You might hear a whirring sound when the cooling fan switches on. It switches on to protect the electronics when the hob is being used intensively. The fan may continue to run after the appliance has been switched off.
21
Induction

Pans

The following pan types are suitable:
– Stainless steel with a base that can
be magnetised,
– enamelled steel,
– cast iron.
The following pan types are not suit- able:
– Stainless steel pans without a mag-
netic 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. If an unsuitable pan is used, the symbol will flash alternately with the power level set.
– Often the maximum diameter quoted
by manufacturers refers to the dia­meter of the top rim of the pot or pan. The diameter of the base (gener­ally smaller) is more important.
– Where possible, use pans with vertic-
ally straight sides. If a pan has angu­lar sides, induction also acts on the sides of the pan. The sides of the pan may discolour or the coating may peel off.
The composition of the pan base can affect the evenness of the cooking res­ults (e.g. when browning pancakes).
– To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose a pan with a suitable base diameter (see "Guide to the ap­pliance - Cooking zones"). If the pan is too small, it will not be recognised and the symbol will flash alternately with the power level set.
– Only use pots and pans with smooth
bases. Rough bases will scratch the ceramic glass.
– Lift pans into position on the hob.
Sliding them into place can cause scuffs and scratches.
22
– Use a lid whenever possible to min-
imise heat loss.
– Select a smaller pan when cooking
small quantities. A smaller pan uses less energy than a larger pan with very little in it.
– Cook with as little water as possible.
– Once food has come to the boil or
the oil in the pan is hot enough for frying, reduce the heat to a lower set­ting.
– Use a pressure cooker to reduce
cooking times.

These settings should only be taken as a guide.The power of the induction coils will vary depending on the size and material of the pan base. For this reason, it is possible that the settings will need to be adjusted slightly to suit your pans. As you use the hob, you will get to know which settings suit your pans best.

Operation

How the hob is operated

The glass ceramic hob is equipped with electronic sensor controls which react to finger contact. For safety reasons, in order to switch the hob on, the On/ Off sensor needs to be touched for a little longer than the other sensors. A tone sounds each time a sensor is touched.
When the hob is switched off, only the symbols for the On/Off, Safety lock, Stop&Go and number sensors are visible. When the hob is switched on all the other sensors light up as well.
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 timer. The relevant cooking zone or timer display will begin to flash when touched. Exception: If only one of the cooking zones is in operation, you can alter the power level without activating the cook­ing zone.
Malfunction due to dirty and/or covered sensors
If the sensors are dirty or covered this could cause them to fail to react, to activate a function or even to switch the hob off automatically (see "Safety switch-off"). Placing hot pans on the sensors/indicators can damage the electronic unit under­neath.
Keep the sensors and indicators clean and do not place anything on top of them. Do not place hot pans on them.

Operation

Booster

The cooking zones are equipped with a Booster or TwinBooster (see "Guide to the appliance – Hob"). You can use the booster function for a maximum of two cooking zones at the same time.
When activated, the power is boosted for a maximum of 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.
If the booster function is switched on when
– no power level has been selected,
the cooking zone will revert automat­ically to level 9 at the end of the booster time or if the booster func­tion is switched off before this.
– a power level has been selected, the
cooking zone will revert automatically to the power level selected at the end of the booster time or if the booster function is switched off before this.
Cooking zones are networked in pairs to supply the power for the booster function. When the booster function is selected, a proportion of energy is taken away from the linked cooking zone and the following happens within the pairs:
– Auto heat-up is deactivated
– the power level is reduced
– the linked cooking zone is switched
off.

Safety switch-off

Safety switch-off with an overlong cooking time

The safety switch-off mechanism is triggered automatically if one of the cooking zones is heated for an unusu­ally long period of time. This period of time depends on the power level selec­ted. Once exceeded, the cooking zone switches off and the residual heat indic­ators appear. The cooking zone can be operated again after it has been switched off and back on.

Safety switch-off if the sensors are covered

Your hob will switch off automatically if one or several sensors remain covered for more than about 10seconds, for ex­ample by finger contact, food boiling over or an object.  will flash in the cooking zone display and a tone will sound.  will go out once you have re­moved the object or cleaned the hob and the hob will be ready to use again.
37
Safety features

Overheating protection

All the induction coils and cooling ele­ments for the electronics are fitted with an overheating protection mechanism. Before the induction coils or cooling elements get too hot, the overheating protection mechanism cuts in in one of the following ways:
– any booster function in operation will
be switched off.
– the set power level will be reduced.
– the cooking zone will switch off auto-
matically.  will flash in the display.
The overheating protection mechanism can be triggered by:
– heating up an empty pan.
– fat or oil being heated on a high
power level.
– insufficient ventilation to the under-
side of the hob.
– a hot cooking zone being switched
on after an interruption to the power supply.
If, despite removing the cause, the overheating protection mechanism trig­gers again, contact Miele Service.
38

Cleaning and care

Danger of burning.
The cooking zones must be switched off. The hob must have cooled down.
Danger of injury.
The steam from a steam cleaning ap­pliance could reach electrical com­ponents and cause a short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the hob.
The use of unsuitable cleaning agents can cause the surfaces to discolour or alter.
All surfaces are susceptible to scratching.
Remove any cleaning agent residues immediately.
Allow the hob to cool down before cleaning.
Clean the hob after every use.Dry the hob thoroughly after every
cleaning to avoid limescale residue.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

To avoid damaging the surfaces of your appliance, do not use:
– washing-up liquid,
– cleaning agents containing soda, al-
kalines, 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, or sponges which have been previously used with ab­rasive cleaning agents,

39
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the glass ceramic surface

Risk of damage from pointed ob­jects!
Do not clean the area between the glass ceramic surface and the frame or the frame and the worktop with sharp, pointed objects.
Not all soiling and residues can be removed using a solution of wash­ing-up liquid.
An invisible film can develop that can lead to discolouration of the ceramic glass. This discolouration cannot be removed.
Clean the glass ceramic surface reg­ularly with a suitable ceramic hob cleaning agent.
Remove any coarse soiling with a
damp cloth and more stubborn soil­ing with a glass scraper.
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.
Danger of burning.
Wear oven gloves when removing residues of sugar, plastic or alu­minium foil from a hot hob with a glass scraper.
Should any sugar, plastic or alu-
minium foil spill or fall onto a hot
cooking zone while it is in use, first switch off the appliance.
Then carefully scrape off these
residues immediately whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scraper blade.
Afterwards, clean the glass ceramic
surface in its cooled state, as de­scribed above.
Then clean the ceramic glass surface
with the Miele ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner (see "Optional ac­cessories") or with a proprietary ceramic glass cleaner applied with a paper towel or a clean cloth. Do not apply the cleaner while the hob is still hot, as this can result in marking. Please follow the cleaning agent manufacturer's instructions.
Finally wipe the hob with a damp
cloth and polish with a soft, dry cloth.
Residues can burn onto the hob the next time it is used and cause damage to the ceramic surface. Ensure that all cleaning agent residues are removed.

Problem solving guide

Many malfunctions and faults that can occur in daily operation can be easily remedied. Time and money will be saved because a service call will not be needed.
The following guide may help you to find the reason for a malfunction or a fault, and to correct it.
Problem Cause and remedy
The hob or cooking zones cannot be switched on.
A smell and vapours are given off when the new appliance is being used.
The symbol flashes al­ternately with the power level selected or in the display for one of the cooking zones.
After the hob has been switched on  appears in the timer display for a few seconds.
There is no power to the hob. Check if the mains fuse has tripped. If it has, con-
tact a qualified electrician or Miele (minimum fuse rating - see data plate).
There may be a technical fault. Disconnect the appliance from the electricity sup-
ply for approx. 1 minute. To do this: – switch off at the isolator, or – disconnect the mains fuse.
If, after resetting the trip switch in the mains fuse
box and switching the appliance back on, the ap­pliance will still not heat up, contact a qualified electrician or Miele.
The metal components have a protective coating. When the appliance is used for the first time, this causes a smell and possibly also vapour. The material from which the induction coils are made also gives off a smell in the first few hours of operation. This smell will be less noticeable with each subsequent use be­fore dissipating completely. The smell and any vapour given off do not indicate a faulty connection or appli­ance and they are not hazardous to health.
There is no pan on the cooking zone, or the pan is un­suitable.
Use a suitable pan (see "Pans").
The system lock or safety lock is activated. Deactivate the system lock or safety lock (see
"System lock / Safety lock").

Safety distances

Safety distance above the hob

A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the appliance and the cooker hood above it. See the cooker hood manufacturer's operating and installation instructions for details. If the manufacturer's instructions are not available for the cooker hood or if any flammable objects (e.g. utensil rails, wall units etc) are installed above the hob a minimum safety distance of at least 760mm must be maintained between them and the appliance below.
When two or more appliances which have different safety distances are installed together below a cooker hood, you should observe the greatest safety distance.
46

Safety distances to the sides and back of the hob

Ideally the hob should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear or a tall unit or wall on one side (right or left) (see illus­trations).
Safety distances
Minimum distance between the back of the worktop cut-out and the rear edge of the worktop: 50mm
Minimum distance between the worktop cut-out and a wall or tall unit to the right of it: 50mm.
Minimum distance between the worktop cut-out and a wall or tall unit to the left of it: 50mm.

47
Safety distances
Minimum safety distances un­derneath the hob
To ensure sufficient ventilation to the hob, a certain gap must be left between the underside of the hob and any oven, interim shelf or drawer.
The minimum gap between the under­side of the hob and
– the top of an oven is 15mm.
– the top of an interim shelf is 15mm.
– the base of a drawer is 75mm.

Interim shelf

It is not necessary to fit an interim shelf underneath the hob but one may be fit­ted if you wish.
Leave a gap of 10mm at the back of the shelf to accommodate the cable. We recommend a gap at the front of the shelf of 20mm to ensure good ventila­tion.
48
Safety distances

Safety distance when installing the appliance near a wall with additional niche cladding

A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the worktop cut-out and any niche cladding to protect it from heat damage.
If the niche cladding is made from a combustible material (e.g. wood) a minimum safety distance of 50 mm must be maintained between the cut-out and the cladding.
If the niche cladding is made from a non-combustible material (e.g. metal, natural stone, ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance between the cut-out and the cladding will be 50 mm less the thickness of the cladding. Example: 15 mm niche cladding 50mm - 15mm = minimum safety distance of 35mm

Installation notes

Flush fit hobs are only suitable for in­stallation in natural stone (granite, marble), tiled or solid wood worktops. Certain models are suitable for build­ing into glass worktops - please see advice under "Building-in dimen­sions". 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.
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 natural stone
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.
