This cooktop is not intended for use by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision and instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety. They may only use the cooktop unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way. They must be able to recognise and understand the potential dangers of improper use.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.

Older children may only use the appliance if its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely. They must be aware of the potential dangers caused by incorrect operation.

Cleaning may only be carried out by older children under the supervision of an adult.

Please supervise children in the vicinity of the cooktop and do not let them play with it.

The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after being switched off. Keep children well away from the cooktop until it has cooled down and there is no danger of burning.

Danger of burning! Do not store anything which might arouse a child's interest in storage areas above or behind the cooktop. Otherwise children could be tempted to climb onto the cooktop with the risk of burning themselves.

Danger of burning and scalding! Turn the handles of pots and pans on the cooktop to the side or the rear so that children cannot pull them down and burn themselves.

Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children may become entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.

Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on the cooktop inadvertently. Use the safety lock when the cooktop is in use to prevent children from altering the settings selected.

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).

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 by a 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.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air

from the room

Danger of toxic fumes!

Great care should be taken when using the extractor in the same room or the same area of the house as another heating appliance that depends on the air from the room.

Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. They include gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooktops and ovens.

The extractor draws in air from the kitchen and from neighbouring rooms. This applies to the following modes of operation:

-extraction mode,

-recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the room.

If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating appliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion. Harmful gases could be drawn from the chimney or extraction ducting back into the room.

This could have potentially fatal consequences!

Warning and Safety instructions

In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by the heating appliance from being drawn back into the room when the extractor and the heater are both operated simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) is the maximum permissible.

Sufficient ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents. The diameter of the inlet openings must enable sufficient ventilation. A ventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient to ensure safe ventilation.

The overall ventilation condition of the dwelling must be taken into account. If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder or, for gas, a qualified gas fitter (registered with an official gas safety body in accordance with national safety regulations) must be sought.

If the extractor is being operated in recirculation mode, where the air is directed back into the room in which it is located, operating a heating appliance which depends on the room air at the same time is not hazardous.

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.

Open flames are a fire hazard!

Do not flambé food. When switched on, the extractor could draw

flames into the filter. Kitchen grease deposits could ignite.

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.

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 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.

Hot cooking vapours during cooking can cause the extractor to get hot.

Do not touch the casing or the grease filters until the extractor has cooled down.

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.

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 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.

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!

Deposits of grease and dirt will prevent the extractor from working properly.

Do not use the extractor without the grease filters in place. Otherwise cooking vapours will not be cleaned.

There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out as described in these operating instructions.

Do not cover the intake grille on the extractor when in use.

Do not place hot pans on the extraction grille of the extractor. This will impair the function of the extractor and may damage the extraction grille.

Warning and Safety instructions

Liquids can damage the extractor if they get into it. Keep liquids away from the extractor.

Light objects can be drawn into the extractor and impair its operation. Do not place any light objects (e.g. paper towels) within close proximity of the extractor.

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”).

Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

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 (except the data plate).

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.

Before using for the first time

Miele@home

Prerequisite: Home Wi-Fi network

Your cooktop is equipped with an integrated Wi-Fi module. The cooktop can be connected to the household WiFi network.

Make sure there is sufficient signal strength for your Wi-Fi network where the cooktop is installed.

There are a number of ways of connecting your cooktop to your Wi-Fi network.

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.

Miele@home availability

The ability to use the Miele@mobile App depends on the availability of the Miele@home service in your country.

The Miele@home service is not available in every country.

For information about availability, please visit www.miele.com.

Miele@mobile App

You can download the Miele@mobile App from the Apple App Store® or the Google Play Store™ free of charge (only functional in selected countries).

After installing the Miele@mobile App on a mobile device, you can do the following, depending on your appliance:

-Call up information on the operating status of your appliance

-Call up information on the programme sequence of your appliance

-Set up a Miele@home network with other Wi-Fi enabled Miele appliances

Before using for the first time

Setting up Miele@home

Connecting via the App

The Miele@mobile App can be used to connect to your network.

Install the Miele@mobile App on your mobile device.

To log in you will need:

1.Your Wi-Fi network password

Resetting settings

It is not necessary to reset the router when replacing it.

Switch the cooktop on.

Touch the 0 sensor control on any of the numerical keybanks.

Touch the 0 and 9 sensors at the same time for 6 seconds.

The seconds can be seen counting down in the timer display. When this time has elapsed, the code : is displayed in the timer display for 10 seconds.

Reset the settings if you are disposing of your cooktop, selling it or putting a used cooktop into operation. This is the only way to ensure that all personal data has been removed and, in the case of the latter situation, the previous owner will no longer be able to access the cooktop.

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”). The induction cooktop automatically recognises the size of the pan.

The pan base material and the position of the pan on the cooking zone affect the power of the induction coils. This can affect the cooking behaviour.

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.

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.

-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.
