Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical
appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service
technician.
A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check it for any visible
damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
Reliable and safe operation of this cooktop can only be assured if
it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
To avoid the risk of damage to the cooktop, make sure that the
connection 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 cooktop 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 cooktop may only be used after it has
been built in.
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Never open the casing of the cooktop.

disconnect it from the mains electricity supply and contact Miele.
8
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.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the
cooktop when it is in use could catch fire.
Do not use the cooktop to heat up the room.
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.
Disconnect the cooktop 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 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 container, causing it
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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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 blender,
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.
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 cooktop cleaning agent.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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 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.
Therefore, please do not dispose of
your old appliance with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre.
Ensure that your old appliance presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal.

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,
warranty" 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 (but not the data plate).
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.
19
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 with the
appropriate sensor and do not rely
on the pan detector.
– 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 3 minutes, 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
cooktop is being used intensively. The
fan may continue to run after the
appliance has been switched off.
21
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.
– 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.
22
– 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.
24
Operating principles
The glass ceramic cooktop is equipped
with electronic sensor controls which
react to finger contact. For safety
reasons, in order to switch the cooktop
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.
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 cooktop 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 "Overview
– Cooktop"). 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. water for cooking pasta.
If the Booster function is switched on
when
– no setting has been selected, the
cooking zone will revert automatically
to setting 9 at the end of the Booster
time or if the Booster function is
switched off before this.
– a setting has been selected, the
cooking zone will revert automatically
to the setting 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 setting is reduced.

hours.
– Only use pans for keeping food
warm. Cover the pan with a lid.
– You do not have to stir food while it is
being kept warm.
– Nutrients are lost when food is
cooked, and continue to diminish
when food is kept warm. The longer
food is kept warm for, the greater the
loss of nutrients. Try to ensure that
food is kept warm for as short a time
as possible.

Cleaning and care
Danger of burning!
The cooking zones must be switched
off. The cooktop needs to cool
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 cooktop.
The use of unsuitable cleaning
agents can cause the surfaces to
discolour or alter.
The external surfaces of this
appliance are all susceptible to
scratching.
Remove any cleaning agent residues
immediately.
Clean the entire cooktop after each use.
Allow it to cool down before cleaning.
Dry the appliance after using water to
clean it. This helps prevent lime
deposits.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your
appliance, do not use:
– washing-up liquid,
– cleaning agents containing soda,
alkalines, 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,
38
– glass cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scourers, or sponges which
have been previously used with
abrasive cleaning agents,
– dirt erasers.
Cleaning and care
Do not clean the area between the
glass-ceramic surface and the frame
or the frame and the worktop with
sharp, pointed objects.
This could damage the seals.
Do not use washing-up liquid to
clean the appliance as washing-up
liquid will not remove all soiling and
deposits.
It will also form an invisible coating
which will cause permanent
discolouration of the ceramic
surface.
Clean the cooktop regularly with a
suitable ceramic cooktop cleaning
agent.
Wipe all coarse soiling off using a damp
cloth. Stubborn soiling may need to be
removed with a shielded scraper blade.
Then clean the cooktop with the
Original Miele ceramic and stainless
steel cooktop cleaner (see "Optional
accessories") or a suitable proprietary
ceramic cooktop cleaner applied with
kitchen paper or a clean cloth. Do not
apply cleaner whilst the cooktop is still
hot, as this could result in marking.
Please follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Spots caused by limescale, water and
aluminium residues (spots with a
metallic appearance) can be removed
using the Original Miele ceramic and
stainless steel cooktop cleaner.
Danger of burning!
Protect your hands with oven gloves
before using a shielded scraper
blade to remove sugar, plastic or
aluminium residues from the hot
cooktop.
Should any sugar, plastic or
aluminium foil spill or fall onto a hot
cooking zone while it is in use, first
switch off the appliance. Then carefully
scrape off all the sugar, plastic or
aluminium residues from the cooktop
immediately whilst they are still hot,
using a shielded scraper blade. Allow
the appliance to cool down, and then
clean as described above.
Finally wipe the cooktop with a damp
cloth, then dry with a soft, dry cloth.
Residues can burn onto the appliance
the next time it is used and cause
damage to the ceramic surface. Ensure
that all cleaning agent residues are
removed.

Problem solving guide
With the aid of the following guide, minor problems can be easily corrected
without contacting Miele. If, after reading this guide, you can't remedy the problem
yourself, please call Miele (see back cover for details).
Please note, however, 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.
Danger of injury! Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carried
out by a suitably qualified and competent person. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work. Do not attempt to open the casing of the cooktop yourself.
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The cooktop or cooking
zones cannot be
switched on.
A smell and vapours are
given off when the new
appliance is being used.
In the display for a
cooking zone the

switch the appliance back on. If it still will not
switch on, 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").

Safety instructions for installation
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.
46
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.
47
Safety distances
Safety distances to the sides and back of the cooktop
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.
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.
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.
We recommend a gap at the front of the
shelf of 20mm to ensure good
ventilation.
48
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").
