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.
Damage to the hob can compromise your safety. Check the hob
for visible signs of damage. Do not use the hob if it is damaged.
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.
While the hob is under warranty, repairs should only be under-
taken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the war­ranty is invalidated.
Warning and Safety instructions
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
The hob is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a
remote control system.
The hob must be connected to the electricity supply by a qualified
electrician (see “Electrical connection”).
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special connection cable by an electrician (see “Electrical connection”).
The hob must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply
during installation, maintenance and repair work. Ensure that power is not supplied to the appliance until after it has been installed or un­til any maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
If the hob is fitted with a communication module, in addition to
disconnecting the hob, this module must also be disconnected from the mains electricity during installation and maintenance of the hob as well as while any repair work is being carried out.
Danger of electric shock. Do not use the hob if it is faulty, or if the
ceramic surface is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Switch it off immediately. Disconnect the hob from the mains electricity sup­ply. Contact Miele Service.
If the hob is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the door
while the hob is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the closed door. This can result in damage to the hob, the housing unit and the floor. Do not close the door until the residual heat indicators go 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.
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.
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 hob when it is 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 suitable for use on glass. Wear oven gloves when doing this. Allow the ceramic surface to cool down and then clean it 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
Because induction heating works so quickly, the base of the pan
could, under certain circumstances, heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time. Never leave the hob unattended during use!
Heat oil or fat for a maximum of one minute. Never 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.
The hob is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly un-
derneath the hob, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the hob in order to en­sure sufficient ventilation for 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 casing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.
Never use two pans on a cooking zone, extended zone or Power-
Flex zone at the same time.
If the cookware only partially covers a cooking or extended zone,
the handle could become very hot. Always place cookware in the middle of a cooking or extended zone!
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 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.
17

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.
On the control scale of the cooking zone, power levels 1 to 9 flash:
- 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 hob as a resting
place for items. Switch the cooking zones off after use with the appropri­ate sensor.
If a suitable pan is placed on the cook­ing zone within 3 minutes 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.
18

Noises

When using an induction hob, the fol­lowing noises can occur in the pan, de­pending on what it is made of and how it has been constructed.
Buzzing on the higher power settings. 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 crackling sound.
Whistling might occur if linked zones (see “Operation - 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 settings.
A whirring sound, when the cooling fan comes on. This switches on to protect the electronics when the hob is being used intensively. The cooling fan may continue to run after the appliance has been switched off.

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 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 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 1-9 power levels will flash on the control scale of the cooking zone.
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 pans with a suitable diameter (see “Cooking zones”). If the pan is too small it will not be re­cognised and the 1-9 power levels will flash on the control scale of the zone.
- 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.
- 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.
20
- 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.

Tips on saving energy

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 hob, 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.
22

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 turned off, only the symbols for the On/Off and System Lock/Safety Lock sensors are visible. When you switch on the hob, all other sensors light up. When you switch a cooking zone on, the  sensor lights up in brightness level 2, and the through sensors light up in brightness level1. When you set a power level, the sensor up to the set power level light up in brightness level 2. If the booster or keeping warm function is set, the corresponding sensor lights up in brightness level2.
Malfunction due to dirty and/or
covered sensor controls. If the sensor controls are dirty or
covered this could cause them to fail to react, to activate a function or even to switch the appliance off automatically (see “Safety features”, “Safety switch-off”). Placing hot pans on the sensor controls/indicat­ors can damage the electronic unit underneath.
Keep the sensor controls and indic­ators clean.
Do not place anything over the sensor control or indicators.
Do not place hot pans over the sensor controls or indicators.
23
Operation
Risk of fire with overheated food.
Unattended food can overheat and catch alight.
Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used.
Please note that the heating up time on induction hobs is very much shorter than on conventional hobs.

Switching on

Touch the sensor.
All of the sensors will light up. If no fur­ther entry is made, the hob will switch itself off after a few seconds for safety reasons.

Selecting/changing the power level

A cooking zone is not active if the sensor is the only one lit up in the con­trol panel.
To switch a cooking zone on, touch
the sensor for that cooking zone.

Residual heat indicator

If a cooking zone is hot, the residual heat indicator and the sensor will light up on the control scale after switching the zone off.
The bars in the residual heat indicator will go out one after another as the cooking zones cool down. The last bar and the sensor will go out at the same time.
The residual heat indicators will flash if there is a power cut during use or while residual heat is still present or if you have opened the programming function while residual heat is still present.
Risk of burning due to hot cook-
ing zones. The cooking zones will be hot after
use. Do not touch the cooking zones
while the residual heat indicators are on.
All sensors will light up. Touch the appropriate number sensor
for the power level you want.

Switching off

To switch a cooking zone off, touch
the sensor for that cooking zone.
To switch off the hob and all the
cooking zones, touch the sensor.
24
Operation

Power level setting - Extended setting range

Touch the numerical keybank in
between two number sensors.
The numbers to the left and right of the interim level light up brighter than the others.
Example: If you have set power level 7. the num­bers 7 and 8 will be brighter than the other numbers.

PowerFlex cooking area

The PowerFlex cooking zones can be combined to form a PowerFlex cooking area (see “Guide to the appliance ­Hob”). Settings for the linked cooking area are controlled by the front or the left PowerFlex cooking zone (depending on model).

Switching on/Switching off

Touch the or sensor.
25
Operation

Auto heat-up

When Auto heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone switches on automat­ically at the highest power setting and then switches to the continued cooking setting. The heat-up time depends on which continued cooking setting has been chosen (see chart).

Activating

Touch the sensor for the continued
cooking setting you want until a tone sounds and the sensor starts to flash.
During the heat-up time (see chart), the continued cooking level set will flash. With extended power levels (see “Pro­gramming”), the power levels before and after the interim power level will flash if an extended power level setting has been selected.
Altering the continued cooking setting while the cooking zone is heating up deactivates Auto heat-up.

Operation

Booster

The cooking zones are equipped with a Booster, TwinBooster or WaterBoost depending on model (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.
27
Operation
During the booster time, the sensor and all of the sensors on the control scale light up at brightness level 2.

To switch on the Booster

Touch the sensor for the cooking

Operation

Keeping warm

This function is for keeping food warm which has just been cooked and is still hot. It is not for reheating food that has gone cold.
The maximum duration for keeping food warm is 2 hours.
- Only use pans for keeping food warm. Cover the pan with a lid.
- Stir firm or viscous food (mashed potatoes, stew) occasionally.
- Nutrients are lost when food is cooked, and continue to diminish when food is kept warm. The longer food is kept warm, the greater the loss of nutrients. Try to ensure that food is kept warm for as short a time as possible.

Safety features

Safety switch-off

Excessive operating time

The safety switch-off mechanism is triggered automatically if a cooking zone is heated for an unusually long period of time. This time depends on the power level selected. If it has been exceeded, the cooking zone switches off and the residual heat indicator ap­pears. If you switch the cooking zone on and off again, it is ready for opera­tion again.

Safety switch-off if the sensors are covered

Your hob will turn off automatically if one or several of the sensors remain covered for longer than 10 seconds, for example, by finger contact, food boiling over or by an object such as an oven glove or tea towel. flashes in the timer display and a buzzer sounds every 30 seconds for 10 minutes. When you remove the objects or soil­ing, goes out, the buzzer stops, and the hob is ready for use again.
36
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:
Induction coils
- Any booster function in operation will be switched off.
- The set power level will be reduced.
- The cooking zone turns off automat­ically.  flashes in the timer display alternating with .
You can use the cooking zones again as usual when the fault message has gone out.
Cooling elements
- Any booster function in operation will be turned off.
The overheating protection mechanism can be triggered by:
- Heating up an empty pan.
- Fat or oil being heated on a high power level.
- Insufficient ventilation to the under­side 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.
- The set power level will be reduced.
- The cooking zones turn off automat­ically.
The affected cooking zones can only be used again if the cooling element has cooled down to a safe level.
37

Cleaning and care

Risk of burning due to hot cook-
ing zones. The cooking zones will be hot after
use. Switch the hob off. Allow the cooking zones to cool
down before cleaning the hob.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress. The steam from a steam cleaning ap-
pliance could reach live electrical components and cause a short cir­cuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the hob.
All surfaces could be discoloured or damaged if unsuitable cleaning agents are used. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching.
Remove all cleaning agent residues immediately.
Never use abrasive sponges or cleaning agents.
Clean the hob after every use.Dry the hob thoroughly after cleaning
with water to avoid limescale residue.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

To avoid damaging the surfaces of the appliance, do not use:
- washing-up liquid
- cleaning agents containing soda, al­kalines, ammonia, acids or chlorides
- cleaning agents containing descaling agents
- stain and rust removers
- abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream cleaners
- solvent-based cleaning agents
- dishwasher cleaner
- oven sprays
- glass cleaning agents
- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges (e.g. pot scourers) or sponges which have been previously used and still contain abrasive cleaning agents
38
- melamine eraser blocks
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the ceramic surface

Risk of damage by pointed ob-
jects. The seal between the hob and the
worktop could suffer damage. The seal between the ceramic sur­face and the frame could suffer dam­age.
Do not use pointed objects for clean­ing.
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 glass ceramic surface. This discolouration cannot be re­moved.
Clean the ceramic surface regularly with a proprietary ceramic glass cleaning agent.
Remove any coarse soiling with a
damp cloth and more stubborn soil­ing with a shielded scraper blade suitable for use on glass.
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 kitchen paper 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.
Residues can burn onto the hob the next time it is used and cause damage to the glass ceramic surface. Ensure that all cleaning agent residues are re­moved.
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.
Risk of burning due to hot cook-
ing zones. The cooking zones are hot during
use. Wear oven gloves when removing
residues of sugar, plastic or alu­minium foil from a hot ceramic sur­face with a shielded scraper blade.
Should any sugar, plastic or alu-
minium foil spill or fall onto the hot
ceramic surface while it is in use, switch off the cooking zone.
Then carefully scrape off these
residues immediately whilst they are still hot, using a scraper blade suit­able for use on glass.
Afterwards, clean the ceramic surface
in its cooled state, as described above.
Finally wipe the glass ceramic surface
with a damp cloth and polish with a soft, dry cloth.
39

Programming

You can programme certain settings on the hob to suit your personal needs. Several settings can be changed in suc­cession.
After starting the programming function, (programme) and (status) will ap­pear in the timer display. On hobs that have 3 cooking zones, an additional display appears at the back left.
The programme is displayed in the front left and rear left cooking zone control scales.
Example: Programme 3 = front left, rear left Programme 14 = front left, rear left
The status is displayed in the front right control scale.

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.
Problem Cause and remedy
The hob or cooking zones will not switch on.
A smell and vapours are given off when the new appliance is being used.
Power levels 1 to 9 flash.
After the hob has been switched on  appears in the timer display for a few seconds.
There is no power to the hob. Check whether the mains fuse has tripped. Con-
tact an electrician or Miele Service (for the min­imum fuse rating, see data plate).
There may be a technical fault. Disconnect the appliance from the mains electri-
city supply for approx. 1 minute by – tripping the relevant mains fuse or screwing the
fuse out completely, or
– switching off at the residual current device.
If, after resetting the trip switch in the mains fuse
box or the residual current current device, the ap­pliance will still not turn on, contact a qualified electrician or Miele Service.
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. With each subsequent use, the odour is reduced until it disappears completely. The smell and any vapours 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”).

Safety instructions for installation

Damage risk from incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to the hob. The hob must only be installed by a qualified person.
Risk of electric shock.
Incorrect connection to the mains supply may result in an electric shock. The hob must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified person only.
Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the hob when fitting wall units or a cooker hood above it.
Fit the wall units and the cooker hood before 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.
49

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 760mm 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.
50

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: 50mm
Minimum distance between the worktop cut-out and a wall or tall unit to the right of it: 50mm.
Minimum distance between the worktop cut-out and a wall or tall unit to the left of it: 50mm.
Not allowed
Highly recommended
Not recommended
Not recommended
51
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 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 hob 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.
52
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 50mm - 15mm = minimum safety distance of 35mm

Installation notes

Seal between the hob and the work­top
Do not use sealant between the hob and the worktop. This could result in damage to the hob or the worktop if the hob 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 hob frame must be smooth and even. If they are not the hob will not sit flush with the worktop and the sealing strip underneath the hob will not provide a good seal between the hob and the worktop.

Sealing strip

Dismantling the hob for service pur­poses may damage the sealing strip underneath the edge of the hob.
Always replace the sealing strip be­fore reinstalling the hob.

Installation

Prepare the worktop

Create the worktop cut-out as shown
in the building-in diagram. Remember to maintain the minimum safety dis­tances (see “Safety distances”).
Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable
heat-resistant sealant to avoid swell­ing caused by moisture. The sealant must be temperature-resistant.
Make sure that the sealant does not come into contact with the top of the worktop.
The seal under the appliance ensures that the hob will sit securely in the cut­out without slipping. Any gap between the appliance frame and worktop will become smaller over time.

Connect the mains connection cable to the appliance

Install the hob

Feed the mains connection cable
down through the cut-out.
Place the hob centrally in the cut-out.
When doing this make sure that the seal of the appliance 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) on the hob.
If the seal does not meet the worktop correctly on the corners, the corner ra­dius (R4) can be carefully scribed to suit.
Connect the hob to the mains.Check that the hob works.
The mains connection cable must only be connected by a suitably qualified and competent person.
Follow the instructions in the wiring
diagram (see “Electrical connection ­Wiring diagram”).

Flush-fitted hobs

Installation notes

A flush-fit hob is suitable only for in­stallation in natural stone (granite, marble), solid wood and tiled work­tops. Certain hobs 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 flush­fit hob.
The internal width of the base unit un­derneath the appliance must be at least as wide as the inner worktop cut­out (see “Building-in dimensions”), so that the hob is easily accessible from underneath after installation and the bottom half of the casing can be re­moved for maintenance. If the under­side of the hob is not freely accessible after installation, any sealant used must be removed to enable the hob to be lifted out of the cut-out should this be necessary.
Natural stone worktops
The hob is set directly in the cut-out.
Solid wood worktops, tiled worktops, glass worktops
The hob is secured inside the cut-out with wooden battens. The battens must be provided on site, and are not sup­plied with the appliance.

Sealing strip

Dismantling the hob for service pur­poses may damage the sealing strip underneath the edge of the hob.
Always replace the sealing strip be­fore reinstalling the hob.
