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.

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 setting 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 cooktop 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. The symbol will appear in the relevant cooking zone display and a tone will sound. The symbol will go out once you have removed the object or cleaned the cooktop and the cooktop will be ready to use again.

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
automatically.  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 setting.
– Insufficient ventilation to the
underside of the cooktop.
– 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.
37

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.

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 600mm must be maintained.

Safety distances

For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety distance of 600mm 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 300mm 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: 50mm
Minimum horizontal distance from the right edge of the cooktop to a combustible surface: 50mm.
Minimum horizontal distance from the left edge of the cooktop to a combustible surface: 50mm.

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 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 cooktop 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

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").
