Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including
removal of any cover) 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 cooktop must not be connected to the inverter of an
autonomous power supply, e.g. a solar power system. When the cooktop is switched on, power surges could result in a safety switch-off. This may damage the electronic unit.
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 electricity 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).
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele authorised 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 “Installation – Electrical connection”).
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special mains connection cable, available from Miele, by a Miele authorised service technician or suitably qualified and competent electrician in order to avoid a hazard (see “Installation ­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, do not use the cooktop and switch it off immediately. Disconnect the cooktop from the electricity supply. Contact Miele.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
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 appliance has cooled down and the residual heat indicators have gone 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.
DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.
10
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.
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.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. Protect your hands
with heat-resistant pot holders or oven 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.
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.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Because induction heating works extremely quickly, the base of
the pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self­ignites within a very short time. Do not leave the cooktop unattended whilst it is being used.
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.
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 for 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.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
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!
14
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 “Safety features - Overheating protection”).
15

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.

Con@ctivity is the direct communication system between an electric Miele cooktop and a Miele rangehood. It enables the rangehood to operate automatically depending on the operational state of your Miele cooktop.
Further information can be found in the installation and operating instructions of your rangehood.

Availability of the Wi-Fi connection

The Wi-Fi connection shares a frequency range with other appliances (including microwave ovens and remote control toys). This may result in sporadic or even complete connection failures. Therefore, a constant availability of featured functions cannot be guaranteed.

Setting up Con@ctivity

Con@ctivity via the home Wi-Fi network (Con@ctivity 3.0)

Prerequisites:
– Home Wi-Fi network
– Wi-Fi-enabled Miele rangehood
Connect the rangehood and the
cooktop to your home Wi-Fi network (see “Before using for the first time – Miele@home”).
The Con@ctivity function will be activated automatically.

the numerical keybanks.
Quit connection mode on the
rangehood by pressing the run-on control.
Con@ctivity has now been activated.
With a direct Wi-Fi connection, it is not possible to connect the cooktop and the rangehood to a home network. If this is desired later, the direct Wi-Fi connection between the cooktop and the rangehood must first be reset (see “Before using for the first time – Con@ctivity - Resetting settings” and in the operating and installation instructions for the rangehood see “Disconnecting the Wi-Fi”).
Touch and hold the0 and 7 sensor
controls on the numerical keybank at the same time for 6seconds.
The seconds can be seen counting down in the timer display. After the time has elapsed, a progress light will appear during the connection attempt. If the connection was successful, the code : appears in the timer display. If the connection could not be established, the timer display will show the code :. Repeat the steps above.
When successfully connected, 2 and 3 will light up constantly on the rangehood.

Induction

How it works

An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. The coil creates a magnetic field that reacts directly with 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 “Induction ­Cookware”). Induction automatically recognises the size of the pan.
Risk of burning due to hot items!
When the cooktop 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 anything else.
After use, switch the cooktop off with the sensor control.

Cookware

Suitable pans

– stainless steel pans with a base that
can be magnetised
– enamelled steel pans
– cast iron pans
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). The base of the pan must be able to distribute the heat evenly. A sandwich base made of stainless steel is particularly suitable.

Unsuitable pans

– stainless steel pans with a base
which cannot be magnetised
– aluminium or copper pans
– glass, ceramic or earthenware pots
and pans

Testing cookware

To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an induction cooktop, hold a magnet to the base of the pan in several different places. If the magnet sticks, the pan is generally suitable.
35
Induction

No pan/unsuitable pan display

The set power level flashes in the numerical keybank for the cooking zone
– if the cooking 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.
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.

Useful tips

– To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with a suitable base diameter (see “Overview ­Cooking zone data”). If the pan is too small it will not be recognised.
– 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. If any scratches do appear as a result of pans being pushed around, this will not affect the function of the cooktop. These scratches are normal signs of use and are not grounds for making a complaint.
– 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.
36
– 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.

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, the appliance 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 “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 settings.
Induction
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.
37

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.
38

Power level range

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

Extended
settings
(17 power
levels)
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.
39

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 features – Safety switch­off”). 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.

whilst it is being used.
Please note that the heating-up time on induction cooktops is much shorter than on conventional cooktops.

Switching on the cooktop

Touch the sensor.
Further sensor controls 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's numerical keybank will light up.

Switching off a cooking zone/ the cooktop

To switch off a cooking zone, touch
the 0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
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.

Operation

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.
In each case two cooking zones are linked together in order to provide sufficient power for the Booster. While the Booster is in operation some of the power is taken away from the linked cooking zone. This has one of the following effects:

Activating TwinBooster

Level 1

Place a pan on the cooking zone you
want to use.

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 keep food warm in suitable
cookware (pots/pans). Cover the pot/ 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 for, the greater the loss of nutrients. Try to keep food warm for as short a time as possible.

Activating/Deactivating the keeping warm function

Touch the sensor for the cooking
zone you wish to use.

Keeping warm temperatures

A keeping warm temperature of 85°C is set as standard. You can change the keeping warm temperature (see “Programming”).

Safety features

System lock / Safety lock

Your cooktop is equipped with a system lock and a safety lock to prevent the cooktop and the cooking zones being switched on or any settings being altered unintentionally.
The system lock is activated when the cooktop is switched off. If the system lock is activated, the cooktop cannot be switched on and the timer cannot be used. A set minute minder time continues to count down. The cooktop is programmed so that the system lock must be activated manually. It can be programmed so that the system lock activates automatically 5minutes after the cooktop has been switched off (see “Programming”).
The safety lock is activated while the cooktop is switched on. When the safety lock is activated, the cooktop can only be operated to a limited extent:
– The cooking zones and the cooktop
can only be switched off.
– A set minute minder time can be
modified.

Cleaning and care

Risk of burning due to hot
surfaces! 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,
– grill and oven cleaners,
– 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.

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 due to hot
surfaces! 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.

Installation notes

Surface-mounted installation

Seal between the cooktop and the worktop

Damage caused by incorrect
installation. Using sealant under the cooktop
could result in damage to the cooktop and the worktop if the cooktop ever needs to be removed for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the cooktop and the worktop. The sealing strip under the edge of the cooktop 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.
67
*INSTALLATION*
Installation

Flush-fit installation

Flush-fit installation is only possible in natural stone (granite, marble), solid wood and tiled worktops. When using a worktop made from any other material, please check first with the worktop manufacturer that it is suitable for installing a flush-mounted cooktop.
The internal width of the base unit underneath the appliance must be at least as wide as the inner worktop cut­out (see “Installation – Installation dimensions – Flush”), so that the cooktop is easily accessible from underneath after installation and the bottom half of the casing can be 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.
Natural stone worktops
The cooktop is placed directly in the cut-out.
Solid wood worktops, tiled worktops, glass worktops
The cooktop is placed on a wooden frame inside the cut-out. The frame must be provided on site and is not supplied with the appliance.
