8
Warnings and safety instructions
If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the
door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build
up behind the closed door and cause damage to the cooktop,
cabinetry and flooring. Do not close the door until the cooktop has
completely cooled down.
9
Warnings and safety instructions
Proper use
The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
after being turned off. A burn hazard is present until the residual heat
indicators go out.
Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches
fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water.
Turn off the cooktop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable
fire blanket.
The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire.
Do not flambé under a hood.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other flammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore, do not store such items or
substances in a drawer under the cooktop. Any cutlery inserts must
be heat-resistant.
Never heat empty cookware.
Do not heat or can food in closed containers, such as tins or
sealed jars, on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the container
and cause it to explode.
If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the
cover will ignite, explode or melt if the range is still hot or if it is
turned on inadvertently. Never cover the appliance with a cover,
cloth or protective foil.
If the cooktop is on or accidentally turned on, or if it is still hot,
metal objects on the cooktop can heat up. Other items may melt or
catch fire. Damp lids can become attached to the cooktop by
suction. Do not store items on the cooktop. Always turn the burners
off after use.
10
Warnings and safety instructions
You can burn yourself on a hot cooktop. When cooking on the
cooktop, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders or
oven mitts. Only use dry pot holders and oven mitts. Wet or damp
textiles conduct heat more effectively and produce steam, which
poses a burn hazard.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near the
cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into
contact with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation could become
damaged.
Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can
cause scratches if they get onto pan bottoms. Make sure that the
ceramic surface and pan bottom are clean before placing any pans
on the cooktop.
Even light objects (such as a salt shaker) can cause damage to
the ceramic cooktop in certain circumstances. Do not drop anything
on the ceramic surface.
Do not place hot pans on the sensor buttons and display as this
could cause damage to the electronics underneath. Do not place hot
pans on the area around the display.
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum
foil, to get on the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage the
ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off the
appliance immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or
aluminum residues while still hot using a scraper blade. Wear oven
mitts when doing so. Allow the burners to cool down and clean them
with a suitable ceramic cleaning agent.
Pans that boil dry can damage the ceramic surface. Never leave
the cooktop unattended during use.
Pots and pans with rough bottoms can scratch the ceramic
surface. Only use pots and pans that are smooth on the bottom.
11
Warnings and safety instructions
Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuff marks and scratches.
Because induction heating works so quickly, the temperature of
the cookware bottom can quickly reach the ignition point of oils and
fats. Never leave the cooktop unattended when it is on!
Do not heat oils and fats for longer than one minute, and never
use the booster.
For people who have a heart pacemaker: Please note that an
electromagnetic field is created in the area immediately surrounding
the cooktop. It is very unlikely to affect a pacemaker. However, if in
any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your
doctor.
Objects affected by electromagnetic fields, for instance, credit
cards, CDs and calculators, should be kept away from the cooktop
when it is on.
Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the cooktop 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 cooktop.
This cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted
directly underneath the cooktop, 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 cooktop. 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, a casserole cooking zone
or a PowerFlex zone at the same time.
If the cookware only partially covers the cooking or roasting zone,
the handle could become very hot.
Make sure to place the cookware in the middle of the cooking or
casserole cooking zone!
12
Warnings and safety instructions
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
If the cooktop is built in over a self-cleaning oven, the cooktop
should not be used while the self-cleaning process is being carried
out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on
the cooktop (see relevant section).
13
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the transport packaging material
The packaging material protects the
appliance from transport damage. 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 the
amount of waste. You can return the
packaging to your Miele dealer.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for their correct
functioning and safety. These could be
hazardous to your health and to the
environment if disposed of with general
waste or if handled incorrectly. Please
do not, therefore, dispose of your old
appliance with general waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances in
your local community, dealer, or with
Miele. By law, you are solely
responsible for deleting any personal
data from the appliance prior to
disposal. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Initial commissioning
Please affix the extra appliance data
plate supplied with this
documentation in the space provided
in the "Service" section of this
manual.
Remove any protective foil and
stickers from the cooktop.
Cleaning the cooktop for the first time
Before using it for the first time, wipe
down the cooktop with a damp cloth
and then wipe it dry.
Turning on the cooktop for the first time
Metal components are protected by a
conditioning agent. Smells and vapour
may occur when the appliance is used
for the first time. The heating of the
induction coils also causes odours in
the first few hours of operation. With
each subsequent use, the odour is
reduced until it disappears entirely.
The smell and any vapors that may
occur do not indicate a faulty
connection or defective appliance and
are not harmful to your health.
Please note that the heating-up time
for induction cooktops is very much
shorter than for conventional
cooktops.
20
Induction
How it works
An induction coil is located under each
burner. When a zone is turned on, this
coil creates a magnetic field that
interacts directly with the base of the
pan and heats it up. The burner itself is
heated up indirectly by the heat given
off by the pan.
An induction burner only works when a
ferromagnetic pan is placed on it (see
"Cookware"). The induction burner
automatically recognizes the size of the
pan.
On the control scale of the cooking
zone, power levels 1 to 9 flash if:
– the cooking zone has been switched
on without a pan in place, if the pan
is unsuitable (non-magnetic base),
– if the diameter of the base of the pan
is too small,
– or 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 heating
up any metal items placed on the
cooktop.
Burn hazard!
Do not store items on top of the
cooking area. Switch the cooking
zones off after use by turning the
relevant sensor button.
If suitable cookware is placed on the
cooking zone within 3 minutes, you can
continue as usual.
If no cookware or if unsuitable
cookware is used, the cooking zone will
automatically turn off after 3 minutes.
