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 cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the
appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is
damaged.
Reliable and safe operation of this cooktop can only be assured if
it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system 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”).
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
Danger of electric shock!
If the ceramic surface is faulty, cracked, chipped or damaged in any
way, switch off the cooktop immediately. Disconnect the cooktop
from the mains electricity supply. Contact Miele.
If the cooktop is installed behind a furniture door, do not close the
door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build
up behind the closed door. This can result in damage to the cooktop,
the housing unit and the floor. Do not close the door until the
residual heat indicators have gone out.
8
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 3minutes, 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
3minutes.
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

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

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.

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
use.
Do not touch the cooking zones
while the residual heat indicators are
on.
Place a pan on the cooking zone you
want to use.
Touch the appropriate number sensor
for the power setting you want.
31
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 250ml of liquid
which is not too thick needs to be
added.
32
– You can switch from the simmer
setting back to a frying level.
Operation

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.
52
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

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 600mm
must be maintained.
Safety distances
For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil
rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety
distance of 600mm must be
maintained between these objects and
the highest part of the cooktop below.
When two or more appliances which
have different safety distances are
installed together below a
rangehood, you should observe the
greatest safety distance.
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
300mm to the edge of the cooktop.
Before installing the cooktop, check
that the below clearance requirements
are met.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
back edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
right edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
left edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.
Interim shelf
It is not necessary to fit an interim shelf
underneath the cooktop but one may
be fitted if you wish.
Leave a gap of 10mm at the back of
the shelf to accommodate the cable.
Miele recommends a gap at the front of
the shelf of 20mm 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 15mm.
– the top of an interim shelf is 15mm.
– the base of a drawer is 75mm.
60
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”).
65
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.
