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.
Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check
the hob for visible signs of damage.
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.

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.
10
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 cooking zones when they are hot, as they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should oc­cur, switch off the appliance and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues whilst still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Wear oven gloves. Allow the cooking zones to cool down and clean them with a suitable ceramic 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.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Induction heating works extremely quickly and so 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 hob unattended whilst it is being used.
Heat oil or fat for a maximum of one minute. Do not use the
Booster function to heat oil or fat.
For people fitted with a heart pacemaker: Please note that the
area immediately surrounding the 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. Do not store any metal items or utensils in a drawer under the hob.
This hob is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly
underneath the hob, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the appliance in or­der to ensure sufficient ventilation of the 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 housing by the fan and dam­age the fan or impair cooling.
Do not use two pans on a cooking zone, extended zone or Power-
Flex zone at the same time.
If the pan only partially covers the cooking zone, the handle could
become very hot. Ensure that you always place the pan in the middle of the cooking zone.
12
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 pyrolitic oven, the hob should not be
used whilst the pyrolitic process is being carried out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the hob (see relev­ant section).
13

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 Dealer for ad­vice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Using for the first time

Please stick the extra data plate for
the appliance supplied with this doc­umentation in the space provided in the "After sales service, data plate, guarantee" 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.
23

Induction

The induction principle

An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When a cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a mag­netic field which impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats it up. The cooking zone itself is heated up indir­ectly by the heat given off by the pan.
An induction cooking zone only works when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on it (see "Pans"). The induction cooking zone automatically recognises the size of the pan.
The set power level flashes in the nu­merical keybank for the cooking zone
– 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, 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.
24

Noises

When using an induction cooking zone, the following noises can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and how it has been constructed.
On the higher power settings, it might buzz. This will decrease or cease alto­gether when the power setting is re­duced.
If the pan base is made of layers of dif­ferent materials (e.g. in a sandwiched base), it might emit a cracking sound.
Whistling might occur if linked zones (see "Booster") are being used at the same time, and the pans also have bases made of layers of different mater­ials.
You might hear a clicking sound from the electronic switches, especially on lower power settings.
Induction
You might hear a whirring sound when the cooling fan switches on. It switches on to protect the electronics when the hob is being used intensively. The fan may continue to run after the appliance has been switched off.
25
Induction

Pans

The following pan types are suitable:
– stainless steel with a magnetic base,
– enamelled steel,
– cast iron.
The following pan types are not suit- able:
– stainless steel pans without a mag-
netic 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 set power level will flash in the numerical keybank for the cooking zone.
The composition of the pan base can affect the evenness of the cooking res­ults (e.g. when making pancakes).
– 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.
– 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 the more important one.
