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 hob can compromise your safety. Check the hob
for visible signs of damage. Do not use the hob if it is damaged.
Reliable and safe operation of this hob can only be assured if it
has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The hob must not be connected to the inverter of an autonomous
power supply such as e.g. a solar power system. When the hob is
switched on, power surges could result in a safety switch-off. This
could damage the electronic module.
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).
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
While the hob is under warranty, repairs should only be under-
taken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the warranty is invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
The hob is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a
remote control system.
The hob 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 electrician (see
“Electrical connection” in the “Installation” chapter).
The hob must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply
during installation, maintenance and repair work. Ensure that power
is not supplied to the appliance until after it has been installed or until any maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
Danger of electric shock. Do not use the hob if it is faulty, or if the
ceramic surface is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Switch
it off immediately. Disconnect the hob from the mains electricity supply. Contact Miele Service.
If the hob is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the door
while the hob is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the
closed door. This can result in damage to the hob, the housing unit
and the floor. Do not close the door until the residual heat indicators
go out.
9
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.
10
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 cooker hood 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 hobs and ovens.
The cooker hood 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, with potentially fatal consequences.
Risk of death!
11
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 cooker hood and the heater are both operated simultaneously,
an underpressure in the room of 0.04mbar (4Pa) 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 should be sought.
If the cooker hood is being operated in recirculation mode, where
the air is passed back into the room in which the extractor is installed, the above restrictions do not apply.
12
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.
Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used. It should
be continually monitored whilst boiling and flash frying.
Open flames are a fire hazard.
Do not flambé food. When switched on, the cooker hood 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 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.
13
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.
Hot cooking vapours during cooking can cause the cooker hood
to get hot.
Do not touch the casing or the grease filters until the cooker hood
has cooled down.
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 hob 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 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.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Because induction heating works so quickly, the base of the pan
could, under certain circumstances, heat up to the temperature at
which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time. Never leave the
hob unattended during use!
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 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.
The hob is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly un-
derneath the hob, ensure that there is sufficient space between the
drawer and its contents and the underside of the hob in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the hob.
If a drawer is fitted directly underneath the hob, do not store any
pointed or small items, paper, serviettes, etc. 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 Power-
Flex zone at the same time.
15
Warning and Safety instructions
If the cookware only partially covers a cooking or extended zone,
the handle could become very hot.
Always place cookware in the middle of a cooking or extended zone!
Deposits of grease and dirt will prevent the cooker hood from
working properly.
Do not use the cooker hood 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 cooker hood when in use.
Do not place hot pans on the extraction grille of the cooker hood.
This will impair the function of the cooker hood and may damage the
extraction grille.
Liquids can damage the cooker hood if they get into it. Keep li-
quids away from the cooker hood.
Light objects can be drawn into the cooker hood and impair its
operation. Do not place any light objects (e.g. paper towels) within
close proximity of the cooker hood.
The induction generators could be damaged or even destroyed if
you use an induction adapter plate for cookware. Do not use induction adapter plates.
16
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 pyrolytic oven, the hob should not be
used whilst the pyrolytic process is being carried out, as this could
trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the hob (see relevant section).
Accessories
Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty and Miele cannot accept liability.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-
imum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of
your hob.
17
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.
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, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that
may be stored on the appliance being
disposed of. 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 “After sales service” 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.

26
Induction
How it works
An induction coil is located under each
induction 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 “Pans”). Induction
automatically recognises the size of the
pan.
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 the risk of metal items placed
on the hob heating up.
Do not use the appliance as a resting
place for anything.
After use, switch the hob off with
the sensor control.
Pans
Suitable pans
- stainless steel pans with a magnetic
base
- 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 without a magnetic base
- aluminium or copper pans
- glass, ceramic or earthenware pots
and pans
Testing pans
To test whether a pan is induction-compatible, hold a magnet to the base of
the pan. If the magnet sticks, the pan is
generally suitable.
27
Induction
No pan/unsuitable pan display
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
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
3minutes.
Tips
- To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose cookware with a suitable base diameter (see “Overview –
Cooking zone data”). If the pan is too
small it will not be recognised.
- Position the cookware as centrally as
possible on the relevant cooking
zone/cooking area.
- Use only pots and pans with smooth
bases. Rough bases can scratch the
ceramic glass.
- Always lift cookware to move it. This
will help prevent scratching. If any
scratches do appear as a result of
cookware being pushed around, this
will not affect the function of the hob.
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 pots and pans. The diameter of
the base (generally smaller) is more

- 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.

Power management
The hob has a maximum total permitted
power consumption which cannot be
exceeded for safety reasons.
Cooking zones can be linked together
in pairs on the hob. This allows additional power to be transferred from one
cooking zone to another.
The previously set setting has precedence and the hob will operate with this
level.
If power is transferred from one cooking
zone to the linked cooking zone, the
power for the first cooking zone must
be reduced.
The possible values for the maximum
total permitted power consumption
and which cooking zones are linked
together can be found in “Overview –
Cooking zone data”.
If the new cooking zone requires more
power than the first cooking zone can
provide, this may result in the following
consequences for the first cooking
zone:
- The power level is reduced.
- Auto heat-up will be deactivated.
Cooking continues at the set level. If
the power is not sufficient, the power
level will be reduced again.
- The Booster function is deactivated.
- The cooking zone is switched off.
If the most recently set power level is
reduced or the Booster function is
switched off, the power level for the
linked cooking zone can be increased
again.

Noises
When using an induction hob, the following noises can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and how
it has been constructed.
Buzzing on the higher power settings.
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 crackling 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 settings.
A whirring sound, when the cooling fan
comes on. This switches on to protect
the electronics when the hob is being
used intensively. The cooling fan may
continue to run after the appliance has
been switched off.
