Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (includingremoval of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user.Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by aMiele authorised technician.

Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check theappliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it isdamaged.

Reliable and safe operation of this cooktop can only be assured ifit has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

The cooktop must not be connected to the inverter of anautonomous power supply, e.g. a solar power system. When thecooktop is switched on, power surges could result in a safetyswitch-off. This may damage the electronic unit.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteedwhen continuity is complete between it and an effective earthingsystem which complies with local and national safety regulations. Itis most important that this basic safety requirement is present andtested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the household wiringsystem 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 andfrequency) matches the mains electricity supply. This data mustcorrespond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance.

Do not connect the cooktop to the mains electricity supply by amulti-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard anddo not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

For safety reasons, this cooktop may only be used after it hasbeen built in.

This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobileinstallations (e.g. on a ship).


8

Never open the casing of the cooktop.Touching or tampering with electrical connections or componentsand mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can causeoperational faults.

The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance isnot repaired by a Miele authorised service technician.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spareparts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of theappliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

The cooktop is not intended for use with an external timer switchor a remote control system.

The cooktop must be connected to the electricity supply by aqualified electrician (see “Installation – Electrical connection”).

If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replacedwith a special mains connection cable by a qualified and competentelectrician in order to avoid a hazard (see “Installation - Electricalconnection”).

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliancemust be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is onlycompletely 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 fromthe socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mainsplug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricitysupply.

Danger of electric shock! If the ceramic surface is faulty, cracked,chipped or damaged in any way, do not use the cooktop and switchit off immediately. Disconnect the cooktop from the electricitysupply. Contact Miele.


9

If the cooktop is installed behind a furniture door, do not close thedoor while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can buildup behind the closed door. This can result in damage to the cooktop,the housing unit and the floor. Do not close the door until theappliance has cooled down and the residual heat indicators havegone out.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches orother vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance andits surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused bycockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.


10

Correct use

The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a whileafter being switched off. There is a danger of burning until theresidual heat indicators go out.

Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the cooktopunattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite, do notattempt 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 cookingprocess has to be supervised continuously.

Flames could set the grease filters of a rangehood on fire. Do notflambé under a rangehood.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances canignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substancesin a drawer under the cooktop. 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 jarson the cooktop, as pressure can build up in the containers, causingthem to explode.

Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth orprotective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if thecooktop is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.


11

When the cooktop is switched on, either deliberately or bymistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is a risk ofmetal items placed on the cooktop heating up. Depending on thematerial, other items left on the appliance could also melt or catchfire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and bedifficult to dislodge. Do not use the cooktop as a resting place foranything else. Switch the cooktop off after use and do not rely on thepan detector.

You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. Protect your handswith heat-resistant pot holders or oven gloves when handling hotpots and pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heatto transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scaldingor burning yourself.

When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food mixer,near the cooktop, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliancecannot come into contact with the hot cooktop. The insulation on thecable could become damaged.

Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) cancause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that theceramic 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 theelectronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the sensors orindicators.


12

Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminiumfoil to get onto the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage theceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, switch offthe appliance and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminiumresidues whilst still hot, using a shielded scraper blade suitable foruse on glass. Wear oven gloves when doing this. Allow the ceramicsurface to cool down and then clean it with a suitable ceramiccooktop cleaning agent.

Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Donot leave the cooktop unattended whilst it is being used.

Only use pots and pans with smooth bases. Rough bases willscratch the ceramic glass.

Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place cancause scuffs and scratches.

Because induction heating works extremely quickly, the base ofthe pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time. Do not leave the cooktop unattendedwhilst it is being used.

Heat oil or fat for a maximum of one minute. Never use theBooster function to heat oil or fat.

For people fitted with a heart pacemaker: please note that thearea immediately surrounding the cooktop is electromagneticallycharged when it is switched on. It is very unlikely to affect apacemaker. However, if in any doubt, consult the manufacturer ofthe pacemaker or your doctor.

To prevent damage to items which are susceptible toelectromagnetic fields, e.g. credit cards, digital storage devices,pocket calculators, etc., do not leave them in the immediate vicinityof the cooktop.


13

Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the cooktop can becomehot if the appliance is used intensively for a long time. Do not storeany metal items or utensils in a drawer under the cooktop.

The cooktop is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directlyunderneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient spacebetween the drawer and its contents and the underside of thecooktop in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the cooktop.

The cooktop is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directlyunderneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient spacebetween the drawer and its contents and the underside of thecooktop in order to ensure sufficient ventilation of the cooktop. Donot store pointed or small items or paper in the drawer. They couldget in through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the casing bythe fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.


14

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a shortcircuit.

If the cooktop is built in over a pyrolytic oven, the cooktop shouldnot be used whilst the pyrolytic process is being carried out, as thiscould trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the cooktop(see “Safety features - Overheating protection”).

Caring for the environment

15

Disposal of the packingmaterialThe transport and protective packaginghas been selected from materials whichare environmentally friendly fordisposal, and can normally be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces theuse of raw materials in themanufacturing process and alsoreduces the amount of waste in landfillsites. Ensure that any plasticwrappings, bags etc. are disposed ofsafely and kept out of the reach ofbabies and young children. Danger ofsuffocation.

Disposing of your oldapplianceElectrical and electronic appliancesoften contain valuable materials. Theyalso contain specific materials,compounds and components, whichwere essential for their correct functionand safety. These could be hazardousto human health and to the environmentif disposed of with your domestic wasteor if handled incorrectly. Please do not,therefore, dispose of your old appliancewith your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your localcommunity waste collection / recyclingcentre for electrical and electronicappliances. You are also responsible fordeleting any personal data that may bestored on the appliance prior todisposal.

Induction

25

How it worksInduction coils are located under theceramic surface. These coils create amagnetic field that reacts directly withthe base of the pan and heats it up. Theceramic surface itself is heated upindirectly by the heat given off by thepan.

The position, size and shape of the potsand pans are recognised automaticallyby the induction cooktop.

An induction cooktop only works whena pan with a magnetic base is placedon it (see “Induction - Cookware”).

The pan base material and the positionsof the pans on the cooktop affect thepower of the induction coils. This canaffect the cooking behaviour.

Risk of burning due to hot items!When the cooktop is switched on,either deliberately or by mistake, orwhen there is residual heat present,there is a risk of metal items placedon the cooktop heating up.Do not use the cooktop as a restingplace for anything else.After use, switch the cooktop off withthe sensor control.

Cookware

Pan size

Round pans should preferably have abase diameter from 145 mm up to amaximum of 350 mm. Pans with a basediameter between 100 mm and 145 mmwill not be detected in every position onthe cooktop.

Oval/Square pans must not exceeddimensions of 380 mm x 300 mm.

Suitable pans

- stainless steel pans with a base thatcan be magnetised

- enamelled steel pans

- cast iron pans

Please be aware that the properties ofthe pan base can affect the evennesswith which the food heats up (e.g. whenmaking pancakes). The base of the panmust be able to distribute the heatevenly. A sandwich base made ofstainless steel is particularly suitable.

Induction

26

Unsuitable pans

- stainless steel pans with a basewhich cannot be magnetised

- aluminium or copper pans

- glass, ceramic or earthenware potsand pans

Testing cookware

To test whether a pot or pan is suitablefor use on an induction cooktop, hold amagnet to the base of the pan inseveral different places. If the magnetsticks, the pan is generally suitable.

Unsuitable pan indicator

When the cooktop is switched on andyou place a pan on it but thecorresponding number display does notappear:

- the diameter of the base of the pan istoo small, or

- the pan is unsuitable

Useful tips

- Use only pots and pans with smoothbases. Rough bases can scratch theceramic glass.

- Always lift the pans to move them.This will help prevent scratching. Ifany scratches do appear as a resultof pans being pushed around, thiswill not affect the function of thecooktop. These scratches are normalsigns of use and are not grounds formaking a complaint.

- Please note that the maximumdiameter quoted by manufacturersoften refers to the diameter of the toprim of the pot or pan. The diameter ofthe base (generally smaller) is moreimportant.

- Where possible, use pans withvertically straight sides. If a pan hasangular sides, induction also acts onthe sides of the pan. The sides of thepan may discolour or the coatingmay peel off.

Induction

27

NoisesThe following noises can occur in thepan, depending on what it is made ofand how it has been constructed.

On the higher power levels, theappliance might buzz. This willdecrease or cease altogether when thepower level is reduced.

If the pan base is made of layers ofdifferent materials (e.g. in a sandwichedbase), it might emit a cracking sound.

You might hear a clicking sound fromthe electronic switches, especially onlower power levels.

You might hear a whirring sound whenthe cooling fan switches on. It switcheson to protect the electronics when thecooktop is being used intensively. Thefan may continue to run after theappliance has been switched off.

Tips on saving energy

28

- Use a lid whenever possible tominimise heat loss.

- Select a smaller pan when cookingsmall quantities. A smaller pan usesless energy than a larger pan withvery little in it.

- Cook with as little water as possible.

- Once food has come to the boil orthe oil in the pan is hot enough forfrying, reduce the heat to a lowersetting.

- Use a pressure cooker to reducecooking times.

Power level range

29

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

These settings should only be taken as a guide. The power of the induction coils will varydepending on the pan base size and material and the positions of the pans on the cooktop.For this reason, it is possible that the settings will need to be adjusted slightly to suit yourpans. 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 onespecified.

Operation

30

Operating principlesThis ceramic cooktop is equipped withelectronic sensor controls which reactto finger contact. For safety reasons,when switching the appliance on, theOn/Off sensor needs to be touchedfor a little longer than the other sensors.Each time you touch a sensor, anacoustic signal sounds.

Only the printed On/Off symbol isvisible when the cooktop is switchedoff. More sensor controls light up whenthe cooktop is switched on.

Malfunction due to dirty and/orcovered sensor controls.If the sensor controls are dirty orcovered this could cause them to failto react, to activate a functioninadvertently or even to switch theappliance off automatically (see“Safety features – Safety switch-off”). Placing hot pans on the sensorcontrols/indicators can damage theelectronic unit underneath.Keep the sensor controls andindicators clean.Do not place anything over thesensor control or indicators.Do not place hot pans over thesensor controls or indicators.

Operation

31

Positioning cookware

You can use a maximum of 6 pans atthe same time on this cooktop.

Useful tips

- You can position the pans anywhereon the useable surface of thecooktop.

- We recommend switching thecooktop on first and then placing thepans on it. If you do this, the pans willbe detected more quickly by thecooktop.

- If you are using several pans at once,position them as far apart aspossible. This will enable the cooktopto recognise each of themindividually.

- Move pans on the cooktop one afterthe other, not all at the same time.

- When you move a pan on thecooktop, the associated numericalkeybank lights up. The set powerlevel “goes along” with it.

- Pans with a base diameter between100 and 145 mm will not be detectedin every position on the cooktop.

Possible faults

You place a pan on the cooktop and theassociated numerical keybank does notappear.

The pan cannot be detected in thisposition because it is very small.

Reposition the pan. If it is still notdetected, use a different pan.

There are several pans on the cooktop.You place another pan on the cooktopand the symbol lights up.

The pans are too close together.

Reposition the pans.

Move pans on the cooktop one afterthe other, not all at the same time.

You reposition a pan and the set powerlevel starts to flash.

The pan cannot be detected.

Touch the flashing power level. If the power level continues to flash,

reposition the pan.

You reposition a pan, the set powerlevel goes out and 0 lights up.

Reset the power level.

Operation

32

Risk of fire due to overheatedfood.Unattended food can overheat andignite.Do not leave the cooktop unattendedwhilst it is being used.

Please note that the heating-up timeon induction cooktops is muchshorter than on conventionalcooktops.

Switching on the cooktop Touch the sensor.Further sensor controls will light up.

If no further entry is made, thecooktop will switch itself off after afew seconds for safety reasons.

Cleaning and care

47

Risk of burning due to hotsurfaces.The ceramic surface will be hot afteruse.Switch the cooktop off.Allow the ceramic surface to cooldown before cleaning the cooktop.

Risk of damage due to moistureingress.The steam from a steam cleaningappliance could reach electricalcomponents and cause a shortcircuit.Do not use a steam cleaner to cleanthe cooktop.

All surfaces could be discoloured ordamaged if unsuitable cleaningagents are used. All surfaces aresusceptible to scratching.Remove all cleaning agent residuesimmediately.Never use abrasive cleaning agents.

Clean the cooktop after every use. Dry the cooktop thoroughly after

every cleaning to avoid limescaleresidue.

Unsuitable cleaning agentsTo avoid damaging the surfaces of theappliance, do not use:

- washing-up liquid,

- cleaning agents containing soda,alkalines, ammonia, acids orchlorides,

- cleaning agents containing descalingagents,

- 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 whichhave been previously used and stillcontain abrasive cleaning agents,

- dirt erasers.

Cleaning and care

48

Cleaning the ceramic surface

Risk of damage by pointedobjects.The seal between the cooktop andthe worktop could be damaged.The seal between the ceramicsurface and the frame could incurdamage.Do not use pointed objects forcleaning.

Using washing-up liquid will notremove all soiling and residues. Aninvisible film can develop that canlead to discolouration of the ceramicglass. This discolouration cannot beremoved.Clean the ceramic surface regularlywith a proprietary ceramic glasscleaning agent.

Remove any coarse soiling with adamp cloth and more stubbornsoiling with a glass scraper.

Then clean the ceramic glass surfacewith the Miele ceramic and stainlesssteel cooktop cleaner (see “Optionalaccessories - Cleaning and careproducts”) or with a proprietaryceramic glass cleaner applied with apaper towel or a clean cloth. Do notapply the cleaner while the cooktop isstill hot, as this can result in marking.Please follow the cleaning agentmanufacturer's instructions.

Finally wipe the cooktop with a dampcloth and dry it with a soft, dry cloth.

Residues can burn onto the cooktopthe next time it is used and causedamage to the glass ceramic surface.Ensure that all cleaner residues areremoved.

Spots caused by limescale, waterand aluminium residues (spots with ametallic appearance) can be removedusing the Miele ceramic and stainlesssteel cooktop cleaner.

Risk of burning due to hotsurfaces.The ceramic surface is hot duringuse.Wear oven gloves when removingresidues of sugar, plastic oraluminium foil from a hot cooktopwith a glass scraper.

Should any sugar, plastic oraluminium foil spill or fall onto thehot ceramic surface, first switch offthe appliance.

Then carefully scrape off theseresidues immediately whilst they arestill hot, using a shielded scraperblade suitable for use on glass.

Afterwards, clean the ceramic surfacein its cooled state, as describedabove.

Problem solving guide

49

With the help of the following guide, minor faults in the performance of theappliance, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remediedwithout contacting Miele. This will save you time and money because you won'tneed a service call.

Please note that a call-out charge will be applied to unnecessary service visitswhere the problem could have been rectified as described in these operatinginstructions.

Problem Possible cause and remedy

The cooktop cannot beswitched on.

There is no power to the cooktop. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. Contact

an electrician or Miele (for the minimum fuserating, see data plate).

There may be a technical fault. Disconnect the cooktop from the mains electricity

supply for approx. 1 minute. To do this:– switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the

plug, or– switch off the mains circuit breaker or residual

current device. If, after switching the circuit breaker or residual

current device back on, the appliance will still notswitch on, contact a qualified electrician or Miele.

A smell and vapours aregiven off when the newappliance is being used.

The metal components have a protective coating.When the appliance is used for the first time, thiscauses a smell and possibly also vapour. Thematerial from which the induction coils are made alsogives off a smell in the first few hours of operation.This smell will be less noticeable with eachsubsequent use before dissipating completely. Thesmell and any vapours given off do not indicate afaulty connection or appliance and they are nothazardous to health.

After the cooktop hasbeen switched on appears in the timerdisplay for a fewseconds.

The system lock or safety lock is activated. Deactivate the system lock or safety lock (see

“Safety features - System lock / Safety lock”).

Seal between the cooktop and theworktop

Damage caused by incorrectinstallation.Using sealant under the cooktopcould result in damage to thecooktop and the worktop if thecooktop ever needs to be removedfor servicing.Do not use sealant between thecooktop and the worktop.The sealing strip under the edge ofthe cooktop provides a sufficient sealfor the worktop.

Tiled worktop

Grout lines and the hatched areaunderneath the cooktop frame must besmooth and even. If they are not, thecooktop will not sit flush with theworktop and the sealing stripunderneath the cooktop will not providea good seal between the cooktop andthe worktop.

Flush-fit installation

Flush-fit installation is only possible innatural stone (granite, marble), solidwood and tiled worktops. When usinga worktop made from any othermaterial, please check first with theworktop manufacturer that it issuitable for installing a flush-mountedcooktop.

The internal width of the base unitunderneath the appliance must be atleast as wide as the inner worktop cut-out (see “Installation – Installationdimensions – Flush”), so that thecooktop is easily accessible fromunderneath after installation and thebottom half of the casing can beremoved for maintenance. If theunderside of the cooktop is not freelyaccessible after installation, anysealant used to plug the gaps aroundthe appliance must be removed toenable the cooktop to be lifted out ofthe cut-out should this be necessary.

Natural stone worktops

The cooktop is placed directly in thecut-out.

Solid wood worktops, tiled worktops,glass worktops

The cooktop is placed on a woodenframe inside the cut-out. The framemust be provided on site and is notsupplied with the appliance.

Sealing strip

Dismantling the cooktop for servicepurposes may damage the sealingstrip underneath the edge of thecooktop.Always replace the sealing stripbefore reinstalling the cooktop.
