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.

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
3minutes.
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.

– 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.
ProblemCause 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").

national and local safety regulations.
Fit the wall units and cooker hood before fitting the hob to avoid damaging the
hob.
The veneer or laminate coatings of worktops (or adjacent kitchen
units) must be treated with 100°C heat-resistant adhesive which will
not dissolve or distort. Any backmoulds must be of heat-resistant
material.
The hob must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer, freezer,
dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.
This hob must not be installed above ovens or cookers unless
these have a built-in cooling down fan.
After installation, ensure that nothing can come into contact with
the connection cable and that it is without hindrance.
The electrical cable may not come into contact with any moving
kitchen component (e.g. a drawer) or be subject to mechanical obstruction which could damage it.
Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the following
pages.
All dimensions are given in mm.
45
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 760mm 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:
50mm
Minimum distance between the
worktop cut-out and a wall or tall unit to
the right of it:
50mm.
Minimum distance between the
worktop cut-out and a wall or tall unit to
the left of it:
50mm.
Not allowed
Recommended
Not recommended

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 15mm.
– the top of an interim shelf is 15mm.
– the base of a drawer is 75mm.
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 10mm at the back of
the shelf to accommodate the cable.
We recommend a gap at the front of the
shelf of 20mm 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
50mm - 15mm = minimum safety distance of 35mm

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.
