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
correctly 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
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 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

The hob 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 hob
when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the hob to heat up the room.
Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the hob
unattended 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.
Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used. It should
be continually monitored whilst boiling and flash frying.
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.

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 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.
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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the hob.
The hob frame or hob edges (on hobs with bevelled edges) and
the controls can become hot due to the influence of the following factors: operating duration, high power level(s), large pans and the number of cooking zones being used.
Pots and pans made of aluminium or with an aluminium base can
leave a metallic sheen on the hob. This can be removed with the ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner (see “Cleaning and care”).
If spills remain on the hob for any length of time they can burn on
and in certain circumstances become impossible to remove. Remove any soiling as quickly as possible and ensure that pan bases are clean, dry and free of grease.
Do not use the ceramic surface for preparing food on. Always use
suitable pots and pans.

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.

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.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also 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. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your Miele dealer for advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for 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 when heated for the first time will give off a slight smell and possibly some vapours.
The smell and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance and they are not hazardous to health.
16

How the cooking zones work

Single circle cooking zones have one heating element, whilst double circle cooking zones and extended zones have two. Depending on the model, the heating elements may be separated by an insulating ring. Each cooking zone has overheating protection (a temperature limiter), which stops the ceramic surface from becoming too hot (see “Overheating protection”). When a power level is selected, heating is activated and the glowing heater element can be seen through the ceramic surface. The heater rating of the cooking zones depends on the power level selected, and is electronically regulated. The “timing” of the cooking zone is controlled by switching the element on and off.

Pans

The best pots and pans are metal
ones with a thick base which is very slightly concave when cold. When heated, the base flattens to rest evenly on the hob, optimising the conduction of the heat.
cold hot
Glass, ceramic, or stoneware is less suitable. These materials do not conduct the heat well.
Cutlery made of synthetic material, and aluminum foil are not suitable. These melt at high temperatures.
Pots and pans made of aluminium or with an aluminium base can leave a metallic sheen on the hob. This can be removed with the ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner (see “Cleaning and care”).
– Please note that the maximum
diameter quoted by manufacturers often refers to the diameter of the top rim of the pot or pan. The diameter of the base (generally smaller) is more important.
Please be aware that the properties of the pan base can affect the evenness with which the food heats up (e.g. when making pancakes).
– To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with a suitable base diameter (see chapter “Cooking zones”).
– Use only pots and pans with smooth
bases. Rough bases can scratch the ceramic glass.
– Always lift the pans to move them.
This will help prevent scratching.
