Warning and Safety instructions
If the cooktop is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a door),
ensure that the door is never closed whilst the cooktop is in use.
Heat and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture panel and
cause subsequent damage to the cooktop, the housing unit and the
floor. Do not close the door until the residual heat indicators have
gone out.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
after being 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 cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite, do not
attempt to put the flames out with water.
Switch off the cooktop and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid,
damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
Flames could set the grease filters of a rangehood on fire. Do not
flambé under a rangehood.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the cooktop. Cutlery inserts must be heatresistant.
Do not heat an empty pan.
Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the cooktop, as pressure can build up in the containers, causing
them to explode.
Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth or
protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the
cooktop is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
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 left on the cooktop heating up, with the danger of
burning. Depending on the material, other items left on the cooktop
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
and do not rely on the pan detector.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. 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 mixer,
near the cooktop, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance
cannot come into contact with the hot cooktop. 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.
Hot pans on the display can cause damage to the electronics
underneath. Do not place hot pans on the display or on the area
around the display.
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 cooktop cleaning agent.
Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
not leave the cooktop 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 cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Induction heating works extremely quickly. Therefore, the base of
the pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat selfignites within a very short time. Do not leave the cooktop 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 cooktop 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
electromagnetic fields, e.g. credit cards, digital storage devices,
pocket calculators, etc., do not leave them in the immediate vicinity
of the cooktop.
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 fitted 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, extended zone or
PowerFlex 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.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
If the cooktop is built in over a pyrolytic oven, the cooktop should
not be used whilst the pyrolytic 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 packing material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally 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. 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.
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. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. 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 "Service" section of this
booklet. Alternatively, the additional
label can be stuck near the appliance
if the appliance markings are not
visible after installation.
Remove any protective wrapping and
stickers.
Cleaning the cooktop for the first time
Before using for the first time, clean
the cooktop with a damp cloth only
and then wipe dry.
Switching on the cooktop 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 cooktops is very much
shorter than on conventional
cooktops.
20
Induction
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"). The induction cooking
zone automatically recognises the size
of the pan.
The symbol flashes alternately with
the power setting selected in one of the
cooking zones
– if it is switched on without a pan in
place, or if the pan is unsuitable (nonmagnetic base),
– if the diameter of the base of the pan
is too small,
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 cooktop (e.g.
cutlery) heating up.
Danger of burning!
Do not use the cooktop as a resting
place for items. Switch the cooking
zones off after use by turning the
control to "0".
– if the pan is taken off the cooking
zone when it is switched on.
If a suitable pan is placed on the
cooking zone within 3minutes, 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.
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") 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.
You might hear a whirring sound when
the cooling fan switches on. It switches
on to protect the electronics when the
cooktop is being used intensively. The
fan may continue to run after the
appliance has been switched off.
22
Induction
Pans
Suitable pans:
– Stainless steel pans with a base that
can be magnetised.
– 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 cooktop, 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
setting selected.
Please be aware that the properties of
the pan base can affect the evenness
with which food heats up in the pan.
– Lift pans into position on the
cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
– 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
vertically 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.
– To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with diameters
larger than the innermost markings
but smaller than the outermost
markings (see "Cooking zone data").
If the diameter of the pan is smaller
than the innermost marking, the pan
will not be recognised and will flash
alternately with the power setting
selected.
– Do not use pots and pans with bases
with pronounced edges or ridges.
These could scratch or scour the
cooktop surface permanently.
23
Tips on saving energy
– Use a lid whenever possible to
minimise 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. For this reason, it is possible that the
settings will need to be adjusted slightly to suit your pans. As you use the cooktop, you will
get to know which settings suit your pans best. When using new pans that you are not
familiar with, set the power level below the one specified.
25

Operation
Booster
The cooking zones are equipped with a
one stage Booster, two stage
WaterBoost or TwinBooster (see
"Overview - Cooktop").
When activated, the power is boosted
for a maximum of 15minutes so that
large quantities can be heated quickly,
e.g. water for cooking pasta.
The Booster function can only be used
on two cooking zones at the same time.
The cooking zone will automatically
revert to power setting 9 at the end of
the booster time.
The cooking zones are connected in
pairs in order to provide sufficient
power for the Booster.
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 setting is reduced,
– the linked cooking zone is switched

residual heat indicator appears. The
cooking zone can be operated again
after it has been switched off and back
on.
32
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 selected power setting will be
reduced.
– One or more cooking zones switches
off automatically.
Turn the rotary controls for all the
affected cooking zones to "0". The
affected cooking zones can only be
used again as usual once the induction
coils or cooling elements have cooled
down to a safe level.
Safety features
Overheating can be caused by:
– heating up an empty pan,
– fat or oil being heated on a high
power setting,
– insufficient ventilation to the
underside of the appliance,
– 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.

Problem solving guide
With the help of the following guide, minor faults in the performance of the
appliance, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remedied
without contacting Miele. This will save you time and money because you won't
need a service call.
Please note that a call-out charge will be applied to unnecessary service visits
where the problem could have been rectified as described in these operating
instructions.
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The cooktop or cooking
zones cannot be
switched on.

The appliance must only be installed and connected to the electricity supply
by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current
national and local safety regulations.
Fit the wall units and rangehood before fitting the cooktop to avoid damaging
the cooktop.
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 splashbacks must be of heat-resistant
material as well.
The cooktop must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer,
freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.
This cooktop must not be installed above ovens unless these
have a built-in cooling fan.
After installation, ensure that nothing can come into contact with
the connection cable and that it is without hindrance.
The connection 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 in this instruction booklet are given in mm.
42
Safety distance above the cooktop
A minimum safety distance must be
maintained between the cooktop and
the rangehood above it. See the
rangehood manufacturer's operating
and installation instructions for details.
If the manufacturer's instructions are
not available for the rangehood, a
minimum safety distance of 600mm
must be maintained.
Safety distances
For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil
rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety
distance of 600mm must be
maintained between these objects and
the highest part of the cooktop below.
When two or more appliances which
have different safety distances are
installed together below a
rangehood, you should observe the
greatest safety distance.
43
Safety distances
Safety distances to the sides and back of the appliance
Ideally the cooktop 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),
taking into account the distances
below. On the other side, however, no
tall unit or wall should stand closer than
300mm to the edge of the cooktop.
Before installing the cooktop, check
that the below clearance requirements
are met.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
back edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
right edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
left edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.
Interim shelf
It is not necessary to fit an interim shelf
underneath the cooktop but one may
be fitted if you wish.
Leave a gap of 10mm at the back of
the shelf to accommodate the cable.
Miele recommends a gap at the front of
the shelf of 20mm to ensure good
ventilation.
Minimum safety distances underneath the cooktop
To ensure sufficient ventilation to the
cooktop, a certain gap must be left
between the underside of the cooktop
and any oven, interim shelf or drawer.
The minimum gap between the
underside of the cooktop and
– the top of an oven is 15mm.
– the top of an interim shelf is 15mm.
– the base of a drawer is 75mm.
44
Cooktops with frame or bevelled edge
Installation notes
Seal between the cooktop and the worktop
Do not use sealant between the
cooktop and the worktop. This could
result in damage to the cooktop or
the worktop if the cooktop ever
needs to be removed for servicing.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the top part of the appliance
provides a sufficient seal for the
worktop.
Tiled worktop
Grout lines and the hatched area
underneath the cooktop frame must be
smooth and even. If they are not, the
cooktop will not sit flush with the
worktop and the sealing strip
underneath the cooktop will not provide
a good seal between the cooktop and
the worktop.

Installation
Preparing the worktop
Make the worktop cut-out as shown
in "Building-in dimensions". Observe
the safety distances (see "Safety
distances").
Seal the cut surfaces on wooden
worktops with a suitable sealant to
avoid swelling caused by moisture.
The sealant must be heat-resistant.
Make sure the sealant does not
come into contact with the top
surface of the worktop.
The seal underneath the cooktop will
hold it securely in the cut-out. Any gap
between the frame and worktop will
reduce with time.
Connecting the mains connection cable to the appliance
The mains connection cable must be
connected by a suitably qualified and
competent electrician in accordance
with current local and national safety
regulations.
Installing the cooktop
Feed the mains connection cable
down through the cut-out.
Place the cooktop centrally in the
cut-out. When doing this, make sure
that the seal under the cooktop sits
flush with the worktop on all sides.
This is important to ensure an
effective seal all round.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone).
If the seal does not meet the worktop
correctly on the corners, the corner
radii (≤R4) can be carefully scribed to
suit.
Connect the cooktop to the mains
electricity supply.
Check that the cooktop works.
Follow the instructions in the wiring
diagram (see "Electrical connection Wiring diagram").
49
Flush-fitted cooktops
Installation notes
Flush fit cooktops 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 cooktop.
The internal width of the base unit
must be at least as wide as the
internal cut-out width for the cooktop
(see "Building-in dimensions"). This is
to ensure that the casing can be easily
removed for maintenance. If the
underside of the cooktop is not freely
accessible after installation, any
sealant used to plug the gaps around
the appliance must be removed to
enable the cooktop to be lifted out of
the cut-out should this be necessary.
The cooktop 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 with a wooden
support frame. The frame must be
provided on site, and is not supplied
