Technical safety

Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed bya Miele authorized service technician in accordance with nationaland local safety regulations and the provided installation instruc‐tions. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for examina‐tion, repair or adjustment. Repairs and other work by unauthorizedpersons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.

Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of theappliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so.Service work may only be performed by a qualified technician.

A damaged cooktop can be dangerous. Always check for visiblesigns of damage. Never use a damaged appliance.

Reliable and safe operation of the cooktop can only be guaran‐teed if it is connected to the public power supply.

Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by aqualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appli‐ance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effectivegrounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirementbe met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the housechecked by a qualified electrician.

Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been instal‐led correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified technician.

To avoid damaging the cooktop, make sure that the connectiondata (voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to thebuilding's power supply before connecting the appliance.When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a pow‐er bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guaran‐tee the required safety of the appliance.

For safety reasons, the cooktop may only be used when it hasbeen fully installed.


8

This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.on a ship).

Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electricalor mechanical components of the cooktop will endanger your safetyand may lead to appliance malfunctions.Do not open the casing of the cooktop under any circumstances.

Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized service techni‐cian will void the warranty.

Defective components should be replaced by Miele original partsonly. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safe‐ty of the appliance.

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

Connection of the cooktop to the electrical power supply mustonly be performed by a qualified electrician (see "Electrical connec‐tion").

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualifiedelectrician with a special power cord, which is available from MieleService. See "Electrical connection."

The appliance must be completely disconnected from the elec‐tricity supply during installation, maintenance and repair work. En‐sure that power is not supplied to the appliance until after it hasbeen installed or until any maintenance or repair work has been car‐ried out.Disconnect by

– removing the fuse,

– "tripping" the circuit breaker, or

– unplugging the unit (if equipped with plug). Pull the plug not thecord.


9

If the cooktop is fitted with a communication module, in additionto disconnecting the cooktop, this module must also be disconnect‐ed from the electrical supply during installation and maintenance ofthe cooktop as well as while any repair work is being carried out.

Risk of electric shock!If the ceramic surface of the cooktop is defective or chipped,cracked or broken in any way, immediately turn the cooktop off anddo not continue to use it. Disconnect the cooktop from the powersupply and contact Miele.

If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close thedoor while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can buildup behind the closed door and cause damage to the cooktop, cab‐inetry, and flooring. Do not close the door until the cooktop hascompletely cooled down.


10

Proper use

The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while af‐ter being turned off. There is a potential hazard until the residual heatindicator goes out.

When in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat,which can cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire.Never use the cooktop to heat the room.

Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking on high pow‐er. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter, whichcan ignite on the cooktop.

Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the applianceunattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catchesfire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water.Turn off the cooktop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitablefire blanket.

Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishingagent or foam fire extinguisher.

Storage in or on the appliance: Flammable materials should notbe stored in an oven or in the vicinity of the cooktop.

The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood onfire. Do not flambé under a ventilation hood.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances canignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substancesin a drawer under the appliance. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resist‐ant.

Never heat empty cookware.

Do not heat or can food in closed containers, such as tins orsealed jars, on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the containerand cause it to explode.


11

If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of thecover will ignite, explode or melt if the range is still hot or if turned oninadvertently. Never cover the cooktop with a board, cloth or protec‐tive sheet.

If the cooktop is turned on or accidentally turned on or if it is stillhot, metal objects on the cooktop can heat up. Other items maymelt or catch fire. Damp lids can become attached to the cooktopby suction. Do not store items on the cooktop! Always turn the burn‐ers off after use!

You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. Protect your handswith heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot potsand pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat totransfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding orburning yourself.

When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near thecooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into con‐tact with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation could becomedamaged.

Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) cancause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that the ce‐ramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.

Even a light object can cause damage to the ceramic cooktop incertain circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.

Do not place hot pans on the sensor buttons and display as thiscould cause damage to the electronics underneath. Do not place hotpans on the area around the display.


12

Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminumfoil to get onto the burners when they are hot, as they can damagethe ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn offthe appliance and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminum resi‐dues while still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Wear ovengloves. Allow the burners to cool down and clean them with a suita‐ble ceramic cleaning agent.

Pans that boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do notleave the appliance unattended while it is being used.

Pots and pans with bases with pronounced edges or ridges canscratch the ceramic burner. Only use pots and pans with smoothbases.

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

Fire hazard! Loose-fitting or hanging garments can catch fire. Besure to wear appropriately fitting clothing when cooking. Never allowloose clothing or flammable materials to come into contact with theburners while the burners are in use.

Because induction heating works so quickly, the temperature ofthe cookware bottom can quickly reach the ignition point of oils andfats. Never leave the cooktop unattended when it is on!

Do not heat oils and fats for longer than one minute, and neveruse the booster.

For people who have a heart pacemaker: Please note that thearea immediately surrounding the cooktop is electromagneticallycharged. It is very unlikely to affect a pacemaker. However, if in anydoubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor.

Objects affected by electromagnetic fields, for instance creditcards, CDs and calculators, should be kept away from the cooktopwhen it is on.


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.

This cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitteddirectly underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient spacebetween the drawer and its contents and the underside of the appli‐ance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation of the cooktop. Do notstore pointed or small items or paper in the drawer. They could getin through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the housing by thefan and damage the fan or impair cooling.

Do not use two pans on a cooking zone at the same time.

If the cookware only partially covers the cooking or roasting zone,the handle could become very hot.Make sure to place the cookware in the middle of the cooking orroasting zone.

Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if theyare used to wipe spilled food off a hot burner. Some cleansers canemit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be care‐ful when cleaning the cooktop.

If the burner is damaged, cleansers or spilled food can penetratethe glass surface and cause a short-circuit. Never cook on a dam‐aged burner. Contact an electrician immediately.


14

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.The steam may reach electrical components and cause a short cir‐cuit.

If the cooktop is built in over a self cleaning oven, the cooktopshould not be used while the self cleaning process is being carriedout, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism onthe cooktop (see relevant section).

Before using for the first time

19

Please adhere the extra data plate forthe appliance supplied with this doc‐umentation in the space provided inthe "Technical service, data plate,warranty" section of this manual.

Remove any protective foil and stick‐ers.

Cleaning the cooktop for thefirst time Before first use, wipe down the appli‐

ance with a damp cloth and dry it.

Turning on the cooktop for thefirst timeMetal components are protected by aconditioning agent. Smells and vapormay occur when the appliance is usedfor the first time. The heating of the in‐duction coils also causes odors in thefirst few hours of operation. With eachsubsequent use, the odor is reduceduntil it disappears entirely.

The smell and any vapors do not indi‐cate a faulty connection or a defectiveappliance and are not harmful to yourhealth.

Please note that the heat-up time forinduction cooktops is very muchshorter than for conventional cook‐tops.

Induction

20

How it worksAn induction coil is located under eachcooking zone. When a zone is turnedon, this coil creates a magnetic fieldthat impacts directly on the base of thepan and heats it up. The zone itself isheated up indirectly by the heat givenoff by the pan.

An induction cooking zone only workswhen a ferromagnetic pan is placed onit (see "Cookware"). The induction zoneautomatically recognizes the size of thepan.

In the cooking zone indicator, the sym‐bol will flash alternately with the se‐lected power setting:

– No cookware or unsuitable cookware(items without a magnetizable bot‐tom) is being used.

– The bottom diameter of the cook‐ware being used is too small.

– The cookware is removed from acooking zone that is on.

If suitable cookware is placed on thecooking zone within 3 minutes, the goes out, and you can continue as usu‐al.

If no cookware or if unsuitable cook‐ware is used, the cooking zone will au‐tomatically turn off after 3 minutes.

When the appliance is turned oneither inadvertently or by mistake, orwhen there is residual heat present,there is the risk of the metal itemsheating up.Danger of burns!Do not use the cooktop as a storagespace. Turn the zones off after usewith the appropriate sensor buttons.

Induction

21

NoisesWhen you use an induction cookingzone, the following noises may occur,depending on the type and shape ofthe cookware bottom:

On the higher power settings, it mightbuzz. This will decrease or cease alto‐gether when the power setting is re‐duced.

Cookware with bottoms made of differ‐ent materials (e.g. sandwich bottoms)may produce a crackling noise.

Whistling may occur if connected cook‐ing zones (see "Booster") are simulta‐neously in use and cookware with bot‐toms made of different materials are onthem.

The electronics may produce a clickingsound, especially at lower power set‐tings.

You might hear a whirring sound whenthe cooling fan turns on. It turns on toprotect the electronics when the cook‐top is being used intensively. The fanmay continue to run after the appliancehas been turned off.

Induction

22

CookwareSuitable cookware is made of:

– stainless steel with a magnetizablebottom

– enamel-coated steel

– cast iron

Unsuitable cookware is made of:

– stainless steel with a non-magnetiza‐ble bottom

– aluminum, copper

– glass, ceramics, earthenware, stone‐ware.

To test whether a pot or pan is suitablefor use on an induction cooktop, hold amagnet to the base of the pan. If themagnet sticks, the pan is suitable.If an unsuitable pan is used, the sym‐bol will flash alternately with the powerlevel set.

The composition of the pan bottom canaffect the evenness of the cooking re‐sults (e.g., when making pancakes).

– To make optimum use of the burners,choose pans with diameters largerthan the innermost markings butsmaller than the outermost markings(see "Burner data"). If the diameter ofthe pan is smaller than the innermostmarking, the pan will not be recog‐nized and will flash alternately withthe power level set.

– Pots and pans with bases with pro‐nounced edges or ridges can scratchthe ceramic burner. Only use potsand pans with smooth bases.

– Lift pans into position on the cook‐top. Sliding them into place cancause scuffs and scratches.

– Often the maximum diameter quotedby manufacturers refers to the diam‐eter of the top rim of the pot or pan.The diameter of the base (generallysmaller) is more important.

Energy saving tips

23

– Use a lid whenever possible to mini‐mize heat loss.

– For small quantities, select a smallpan. A small pan on a small burneruses less energy than a large, onlypartially filled pan on a large burner.

– Cook with as little water as possible.

– Once food has come to the boil orthe pan is hot for frying, reduce theheat to a lower power setting.

Power setting ranges

24

The cooktop is programmed with 9 power levels at the factory. If you wish to fine-tune a setting, you can extend the power setting 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 size and material of the pan. For this reason, it is possible that the set‐tings will need to be adjusted slightly to suit your pans. As you use the cooktop, you will getto know which settings suit your pans best. For new cookware whose properties for useyou are not yet familiar with, set the next lowest power level than the one specified.

Operation

25

Basic operationThe ceramic cooktop is equipped withelectronic sensor buttons that react tofinger contact. During activation, theOn/Off sensor button muss bepressed somewhat longer than the oth‐er buttons for safety reasons.Each reaction of the buttons is ac‐knowledged with an acoustic signal.

The cooking zones and the timer haveto be "active" when you want to set oradjust a power level or the duration. Toactivate the zone or the timer, tap theselection button of the correspondingzone or the timer. After the selectionbutton is tapped, the correspondingzone or timer indicator light will flash.While the indicator light is flashing, setor adjust the power level or the dura‐tion. Exception: If there is only one cookingzone in operation, you can set or adjustthe power level without activating itfirst.

Malfunction due to dirty and/or cov‐ered sensor buttonsThe sensor buttons do not react orunintentional switching proceduresresult, perhaps even the automaticdeactivation of the cook top (see"Safety switch-off"). Hot cookwareon the sensor buttons/indicatorlights can damage the connectedelectronic module.Keep the sensor buttons and indica‐tor lights clean, do not place any ob‐jects on them, and do not put hotcookware on them.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION

49

Installation and connection ofthe cooktop to the electrical powersupply may only be performed by aqualified electrician.

Install the upper cabinets and venti‐lation hood before installing thecooktop to avoid damaging it.

Reaching over a hot cooktopto access the cabinets can resultin burns. You can reduce the riskof burns by installing a ventila‐tion hood that extends at least4 ³/₄" (12 cm) past the bottom ofthe cabinets. Do not install anycabinets above the cooktop.

The countertop must be heat-resistant (up to 212°F / 100°C),so that it does not become de‐formed or the veneer detached.The wall strips must be heat-re‐sistant as well.

The cooktop must not be in‐stalled above refrigerators/freez‐ers, dishwashers, or washer/dryers.

This cooktop may only be in‐stalled above a stove or oven ifthey have a built-in cooling fan.

Ensure that the power cordcannot be touched after thecooktop has been installed.

After the installation of thecooktop, the electrical cord maynot come into contact with anymoving kitchen parts (e.g. adrawer) or be subject to mechan‐ical stress.

Observe carefully the safetyclearances listed on the followingpages.

Safety clearances

50

Safety clearance above thecooktop

For a ventilation hood above the cook‐top, always use the clearance specifiedby the hood manufacturer. If there areno specifications from the hood manu‐facturer or if flammable materials (e.g. autensil rail) are installed above thecooktop, the clearance must be at least30" (760 mm).

If there is more than one applianceinstalled below the ventilation hood,each with a different safety clear‐ance, the largest clearance must beused.

Safety clearances

51

Safety clearances to the sidesand back of the cooktopIn installing a cooktop there may be anoptionally high cabinet or room wallagainst the rear side and one of thesides (right or left) (see illustrations).

minimum distance between theback of the counter cut-out and therear edge of the counter:2" (50 mm)

minimum distance to the right of thecounter cut-out to the closest adjacentpiece of furniture (for instance, a highcabinet) or a room wall:2" (50 mm)

minimum distance to the left of thecounter cut-out to the closest adjacentpiece of furniture (for instance, a highcabinet) or a room wall:2" (50 mm)

Not permitted!

Highly recommended!

Not recommended!

Not recommended!

Safety clearances

52

Minimum clearance under‐neath the cooktopTo ensure proper ventilation of thecooktop, a minimum clearance is re‐quired between the appliance and anoven, protective base, or drawer.

The minimum clearance from the bot‐tom of the cooktop to

– the top of the oven must be ⁹/₁₆"(15 mm).

– the top of the protective base mustbe ⁹/₁₆" (15 mm).

– bottom of the drawer must be 3"(75 mm).

Protective baseInstallation of a protective base underthe cooktop is allowed but not required.

A gap of 3" (75 mm) at the back is re‐quired for the power supply cord. Forbetter cooling of the cooktop, we rec‐ommend a gap of 2" (50 mm) at thefront.

Safety clearances

53

Safety distance from the wall coveringIf a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained be‐tween the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures can dam‐age these materials.

If the covering is made of a combustible material (such as wood), the distance be‐tween the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be a minimum of 2"(50 mm).

For coverings made of non-combustible materials (such as metal, marble, granite,ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance between the countertop cut-out andthe wall covering must be 2" (50 mm) minus the thickness of the covering. For ex‐ample: thickness of wall covering 2" (50 mm) - ⁹/₁₆" (15 mm) = minimum safetydistance 1 ³/₈" (35 mm).

Instructions for installation

55

Seal between cooktop andcounter

In case a disassembly is required,the appliance must not be perma‐nently sealed into the countertopwhen installed. The sealing strip un‐der the edge of the appliance pro‐vides a sufficient seal for the coun‐tertop.If the appliance is sealed into posi‐tion, the countertop or appliancecould be damaged if it needs to beremoved for maintenance or service.

Tiled countertop

The grouting and shaded area underthe appliance frame must be flat andeven so that the frame will lie evenlyand the sealing strip under the edge ofthe upper part of the appliance canprovide an adequate seal against thecountertop.

Installation

57

Preparing the counter Create the counter cut-out as shown

in the cooktop diagram and in the de‐tailed drawing. Remember to main‐tain a minimum safety distance (see"Safety clearances").

Seal any wooden counter surfaceswith a special varnish, silicone rub‐ber, or resin to help prevent swellingfrom moisture. The sealant must betemperature resistant.

Ensure that the sealant does not geton the top surface of the countertop.

The sealing tape guarantees a non-slipping seat of the cooktop in thecut-out. The gap between the frameand counter reduces with time.

Installing the cooktop Feed the appliance power cord down

through the counter cut-out.

Center the cooktop in the cut-out.Make sure that the seal under thecooktop sits flush with the counter onall sides. This is important to ensurean effective seal.

NEVER seal the cooktop using addi‐tional sealing material such as sili‐con!

If during installation the seal aroundthe frame does not sit flush with thecountertop in the corners, the cornerradius, maximum 3/16" (4 mm), canbe carefully filed down to fit.

Connect the cooktop to the electricalpower supply.

Check that the cooktop works.
