when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. 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.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance.
Do not connect the cooktop to the mains electricity 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.
Touching or tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
The cooktop is not intended for use with an external timer switch
or a remote control system.
The cooktop 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 in order to avoid a hazard (see “Electrical connection”).

Warning and Safety instructions
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.
9
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat indicators go out.
Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite, do not attempt to put the flames out with water. Switch off the cooktop and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking
process has to be supervised continuously.
Flames could set the grease filters of a rangehood on fire. Do not
flambé under a rangehood.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances in a drawer under the cooktop. Cutlery inserts must be heat­resistant.
Do not heat an empty pan.Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the cooktop, as pressure can build up in the containers, causing them to explode.
Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth or
protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the cooktop is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
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 mixer,
near the cooktop, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot come into contact with the hot cooktop. The insulation on the cable could become damaged.
Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can
cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that the ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.
Even a light object can cause damage in certain circumstances.
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
Placing hot pans on the sensors and indicators could damage the
electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the sensors or indicators.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium
foil to get onto the cooktop 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 cooktop cleaning agent.
Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
not leave the cooktop unattended whilst it is being used.
Only use pots and pans with smooth bases. Rough bases will
scratch the ceramic glass.
Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
Because induction heating works so quickly, the base of the pan
could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time. Do not leave the cooktop unattended during cooking!
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 cooktop is electromagnetically charged when it is switched on. 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.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
The 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 cooktop 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 casing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.
Never use two pans on a cooking zone, extended zone or
PowerFlex zone at the same time.
If the cookware only partially covers a cooking zone or extended
zone, the handle could become very hot. Always place cookware in the middle of a cooking zone or extended zone!
The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking
process has to be supervised continuously.
13
Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
If the cooktop is built in over a pyrolytic oven, the cooktop should
not be used whilst the pyrolytic process is being carried out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the cooktop (see relevant section).
14

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Before using for the first time

Please stick the extra data plate for
the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the “Service” section of this booklet. Alternatively, the additional label can be stuck near the appliance if the appliance markings are not visible after installation.
Remove any protective wrapping and
stickers.

Cleaning the cooktop for the first time

Before using for the first time, clean
the cooktop with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry.

Switching on the cooktop for the first time

The metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight smell when heated up for the first time. The induction coils may also give off a slight smell for the first few hours of operation. This smell will be less noticeable with each subsequent use before dissipating completely.
The smell and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance and they are not hazardous to health.
Please note that the heating up time on induction cooktops is significantly shorter than on conventional cooktops.
24

Induction

How it works

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 pan with a magnetic base is placed on it (see “Pans”). Induction automatically recognises the size of the pan.
The set power level flashes in the numerical keybank for the cooking zone
– if the zone is 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 while it is switched on.
Risk of burning due to hot items.
When the appliance is switched on, either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is a risk of metal items placed on the cooktop heating up.
Do not use the cooktop as a resting place for other items.
After use, switch the wok off with the sensor control.
If a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone within 3minutes, the flashing power level 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.
25
Induction

Noises

When using an induction cooking zone, the following noises can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and how it has been constructed.
On the higher power levels, the appliance might buzz. This will decrease or cease altogether when the power level 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 “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 power levels.
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 cooktop has been switched off.
26
Induction

Cookware

Suitable pans include:
– stainless steel pans with a base that
can be magnetised,
– enamelled steel pans,
– cast iron pans.
Unsuitable pans include:
– stainless steel pans with a base
which cannot be magnetised,
– aluminium or 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 generally suitable. If the pan is unsuitable the set power level will flash in the numerical keybank for the cooking zone.
– To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with a suitable base diameter (see “Cooking zones”). If the pan is too small, it will not be recognised and the set power level will flash in the numerical keybank for the cooking zone.
– 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.
– 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).
– 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.
27

Tips on saving energy

– Use a lid whenever possible to
minimise heat loss.
– Select a smaller pan when cooking
small quantities. A smaller pan uses less energy than a larger pan with very little in it.
– Cook with as little water as possible.
– Once food has come to the boil or
the oil in the pan is hot enough for frying, reduce the heat to a lower setting.
– Use a pressure cooker to reduce
cooking times.
28

Settings

The cooktop is programmed with 9 power levels at the factory. If you wish to fine­tune a setting, you can extend the power setting range to 17 power levels (see “Programming”).

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. Please refer to “TempControl” for the settings for frying using TempControl.

Operation

Operating principles

This ceramic cooktop is equipped with electronic sensor controls which react to finger contact. For safety reasons, when switching the appliance on, the On/Off sensor needs to be touched for a little longer than the other sensors. Each time you touch a sensor, an acoustic signal sounds.
Only the printed On/Off symbol is visible when the cooktop is switched off. More sensor controls light up when the cooktop is switched on.
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 inadvertently or even to switch the appliance off automatically (see “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.
30
Operation
Risk of fire due to overheated
food. Unattended food can overheat and
ignite. Do not leave the cooktop unattended
whilst it is being used.
Please note that the heating-up time on induction cooktops is very much shorter than on conventional cooktops.

Switching the cooktop on

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

Setting the power level

Permanent pan recognition is activated as standard (see “Programming”). When the cooktop is switched on and you place a pan on one of the cooking zones, all the sensors for that cooking zone will light up.

Switching off

To switch off a cooking zone, touch
thesensor for that cooking zone.
To switch off the cooktop and all the
cooking zones, touch the sensor.

Residual heat indicator

If a cooking zone is still hot, the residual heat indicator will light up after the zone has been switched off. Depending on the temperature, a dot will appear above power levels 1, 2 and 3.
The dots of the residual heat indicator will go out one after another as the cooking zone cools down. The last dot only goes out when the cooking zone is safe to touch.
Risk of burning on hot cooking
zones! The cooking zones will be hot after

Operation

TempControl

TempControl monitors and controls the temperature during frying:
– the fat cannot overheat,
– power levels do not need to be
adjusted manually,
– it is not necessary to turn the food
being fried frequently.
Depending on the model of cooktop, the sensor is visible in the middle of the cooking zone.
There are three frying levels and a simmer setting.
When the preset temperature for the frying level is reached, the simmer setting sensor will appear. This function is for reducing sauces. It is activated by touching the sensor.
TempControl is not suitable for deep­frying or boiling.
Use this function for frying only.

Notes on use

– Make sure that the ceramic surface is
kept clean, particularly in the area of the sensor in the middle of the cooking zone.
– Use pans which distribute heat
evenly, e.g. pans with a sandwich base.
– For frying with butter, use frying
level only.
– Do not place the food in the pan until
the preset temperature has been reached.
– You can switch from one frying level
to another.
– TempControl will deactivate if you
switch from a frying level to a power level.
– You can carry out several frying
processes one after the other. The cooking zone does not need to cool down.
– So that simmering takes place
reliably, at least 250ml of liquid which is not too thick needs to be added.
32
– You can switch from the simmer
setting back to a frying level.

Booster

The cooking zones are equipped with a TwinBooster.
When activated, the power is boosted so that large quantities can be heated up quickly, e.g. when boiling water for cooking pasta. The boost in power is active for a maximum of 15minutes.
The Booster function can be used on a maximum of 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.

Operation

Keeping warm / Warming up

The keeping warm setting is for keeping food warm that has just been cooked, i.e. food that is still hot. It is not for reheating food that has gone cold.
The keeping warm plus setting is for keeping food warm and for warming up food. It is also suitable for melting chocolate.
If you have set the keeping warm setting, the cooking zone will stay switched on for a maximum of 2hours. With Keeping warm plus the maximum operating duration depends on the safety switch-off setting (see “Safety features – Safety switch-off with an overlong cooking time”).
– Only use cookware (pots/pans) for
keeping food warm. Cover the pot or pan with a lid.
– Stir firm or viscous food (mashed
potatoes, stew) occasionally.

Switching the keeping warm setting on/off

Touch the or sensor.
– 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 keep food warm for as short a time as possible.

Cleaning and care

Risk of burning on hot cooking
zones! The cooking zones will be hot after
use. Switch the cooktop off. Allow the cooking zones to cool
down before cleaning the cooktop.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress. The steam from a steam cleaner
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. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching.
Remove any residual cleaning agent immediately.
Never use abrasive sponges or cleaning agents.
Clean the cooktop after every use.Dry the cooktop thoroughly after
every cleaning 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,
– dirt erasers.
51
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the ceramic surface

Risk of damage by pointed
objects. The seal between the cooktop and
the worktop could be damaged. The seal between the ceramic surface and the frame could be damaged.
Do not use pointed objects for cleaning.
Do not use washing-up liquid to clean the appliance. Using washing­up liquid will not remove all soiling and residues. An invisible film can develop that can lead to discolouration of the ceramic glass 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 glass scraper.
Then clean the ceramic glass surface
with the Miele ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner (see “Optional accessories”) or with a proprietary ceramic glass cleaner applied with paper towel or a clean cloth. Do not apply the cleaner while the cooktop is still hot, as this can result in marking. Please follow the cleaning agent manufacturer's instructions.
Residues can burn onto the cooktop the next time it is used and cause damage to the glass ceramic surface. Ensure that all cleaner residues are removed.
Spots caused by limescale, water
and aluminium residues (spots with a metallic appearance) can be removed using the Miele ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner.
Risk of burning on hot cooking
zones! The cooking zones are hot during
use. Wear oven gloves when removing
residues of sugar, plastic or aluminium foil from a hot cooktop with a glass scraper.
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 these
residues immediately whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scraper blade suitable for use on glass.
Afterwards, clean the ceramic surface
in its cooled state, as described above.
Finally wipe the cooktop with a damp
cloth and dry it with a soft, dry cloth.

Problem solving guide

With the help of the following guide, minor faults in the performance of the appliance, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remedied without contacting Miele. This will save you time and money because you will not need a service call.
Please note that a call-out charge will be applied to unnecessary service visits where the problem could have been rectified as described in these operating instructions.
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The cooktop or cooking zones do not switch on.
A smell and vapours are given off when the new appliance is being used.
The power level selected is flashing.
After the cooktop has been switched on  appears in the timer display for a few seconds.
There is no power to the cooktop. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. Contact
an electrician or Miele (for the minimum fuse rating, see data plate).
There may be a technical fault. Disconnect the appliance from the mains
electricity supply for approx. 1 minute. To do this: – switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the
plug, or
– switch off at the residual current device.
If, after switching the circuit breaker or residual
current device back on, the appliance will still 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 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 suitable pans (see “Induction - Pans”).
The system lock or safety lock is activated. Deactivate the system lock or safety lock (see
“Safety features - System lock / Safety lock”).

Safety instructions for installation

Risk of damage from incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to the cooktop. The cooktop must only be installed by a qualified person.
Danger of electric shock!
Incorrect connection to the power supply may result in an electric shock. The cooktop must be connected to the power supply by a qualified electrician.
Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the cooktop when fitting wall units or a rangehood above it.
Fit the wall units and the rangehood before 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.
Carefully observe the safety clearances listed on the following
pages.
All dimensions in this instruction booklet are given in mm.
58

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.
59
Safety distances

Safety distances to the sides and back of the appliance

Ideally the cooktop should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear or a tall unit or wall on one side (right or left), taking into account the distances below. On the other side, however, no tall unit or wall should stand closer than 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.

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. Miele recommends a gap at the front of the shelf of 20mm to ensure good ventilation.

Minimum safety distances underneath the cooktop

To ensure sufficient ventilation to the cooktop, a certain gap must be left between the underside of the cooktop and any oven, interim shelf or drawer.
The minimum gap between the underside of the cooktop and
– the top of an oven is 15mm.
– the top of an interim shelf is 15mm.
– the base of a drawer is 75mm.

Cooktops with frame or bevelled edge

Installation notes

Seal between the cooktop and the worktop

Do not use sealant between the cooktop and the worktop. This could result in damage to the cooktop or the worktop if the cooktop ever needs to be removed for servicing. The sealing strip under the edge of the top part of the appliance provides a sufficient seal for the worktop.

Tiled worktop

Grout lines and the hatched area underneath the cooktop frame must be smooth and even. If they are not, the cooktop will not sit flush with the worktop and the sealing strip underneath the cooktop will not provide a good seal between the cooktop and the worktop.

Installation

Preparing the worktop

Make the worktop cut-out as shown
in “Building-in dimensions”. Observe the safety distances (see “Safety distances”).
Seal the cut surfaces on wooden
worktops with a suitable sealant to avoid swelling caused by moisture. The sealant must be heat-resistant.
Make sure the sealant does not come into contact with the top surface of the worktop.
The seal underneath the cooktop will hold it securely in the cut-out. Any gap between the frame and worktop will reduce with time.

Connecting the mains connection cable to the appliance

The mains connection cable must be connected by a suitably qualified and competent electrician in accordance with current local and national safety regulations.

Installing the cooktop

Feed the mains connection cable
down through the cut-out.
Place the cooktop centrally in the
cut-out. When doing this, make sure that the seal under the cooktop sits flush with the worktop on all sides. This is important to ensure an effective seal all round.
Do not use any additional sealant (e.g. silicone).
If the seal does not meet the worktop correctly on the corners, the corner radii (R4) can be carefully scribed to suit.
Connect the cooktop to the mains
electricity supply.
Check that the cooktop works.
Follow the instructions in the wiring
diagram (see “Electrical connection ­Wiring diagram”).

Flush-fitted cooktops

Installation notes

Flush fit cooktops are only suitable for installation in natural stone (granite, marble), tiled or solid wood worktops. Certain models are suitable for building into glass worktops - please see advice under “Building-in dimensions”. When using a worktop made from any other material, please check first with the worktop manufacturer that it is suitable for installing a flush fit cooktop.
The internal width of the base unit must be at least as wide as the internal cut-out width for the cooktop (see “Building-in dimensions”). This is to ensure that the casing can be easily removed for maintenance. If the underside of the cooktop is not freely accessible after installation, any sealant used to plug the gaps around the appliance must be removed to enable the cooktop to be lifted out of the cut-out should this be necessary.
The cooktop can be installed
– in a suitable cut-out in a natural stone
worktop.
– in a suitable cut-out in a tiled or solid
wood worktop with a wooden support frame. The frame must be provided on site, and is not supplied with the appliance.
