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

If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a specialpower cable by a suitably qualified electrician (see “Installation –Electrical connection”).


9

During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the cooktopmust be completely disconnected from the household electricitysupply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supplywhen:

- the main circuit breaker has been tripped, or

- the plug fuses have been fully unscrewed or

- the power plug (if present) is removed from the outlet. To do this,pull the plug not the cord.

If the cooktop is fitted with a communication module, in additionto disconnecting the cooktop, this module must also bedisconnected from the electrical supply during installation andmaintenance of the cooktop as well as while any repair work is beingcarried out

Danger of electric shock. Do not use the cooktop if it is faulty, or ifthe ceramic surface is cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way.Switch it off immediately. Disconnect the cooktop from the powersupply. Contact Miele Service.

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. This can result in damage to the cooktop,cabinet carcase, and floor. Do not close the door until the residualheat indicators go out.


10

Correct use

The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a whileafter being turned off. A burn hazard is present until the residual heatindicators go out.

Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the cooktopunattended 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.

Do not leave the cooktop unattended whilst it is being used. Itshould be continually monitored whilst boiling and flash frying.

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

Spray canisters, aerosols and other flammable substances canignite when heated. Therefore, do not store such items orsubstances in a drawer under the cooktop. Any cutlery inserts mustbe heat-resistant.

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.

If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of thecover will ignite, explode or melt if the cooktop is still hot or if it isturned on inadvertently. Never cover the appliance with a cover,cloth or protective foil.

If the cooktop is on or accidentally turned on, or if it is still hot,metal objects on the cooktop can heat up. Other items may melt orcatch fire. Damp lids can become attached to the cooktop bysuction. Do not store items on the cooktop. Always turn the cookingzones off after use.


11

You can burn yourself on a hot cooktop. When cooking on thecooktop, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders oroven mitts. Only use dry pot holders and oven mitts. Wet or damptextiles conduct heat more effectively and produce steam, whichposes a burn hazard.

When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near thecooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come intocontact 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 onto pan bottoms. Make sure that theceramic surface and pan bottom are clean before placing any panson the cooktop.

Even light objects (such as a salt shaker) can cause damage tothe ceramic cooktop in certain circumstances. Do not drop anythingon 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.

Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminumfoil to get onto the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage theceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off thecooktop immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic oraluminum residues while still hot, using a shielded scraper blade.Wear oven mitts when doing this. Allow the ceramic surface to cooldown before cleaning with a suitable ceramic cleaning agent.

Pans that boil dry can damage the ceramic surface. Never leavethe cooktop unattended during use.

Pots and pans with rough bottoms can scratch the ceramicsurface. Only use pots and pans that are smooth on the bottom.


12

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

Because induction heating works so quickly, the base of thecookware could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time. Never leave the cooktop unattendedwhen it is on!

Do not heat oils and fats for longer than 1 minute, and never usethe booster.

For people who have a heart pacemaker: Please note that anelectromagnetic field is created in the area immediately surroundingthe cooktop. It is very unlikely to affect a pacemaker. However, if inany doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or yourdoctor.

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

Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the cooktop can becomehot if the appliance is used intensively for a long time.

The cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan. If a drawer is locateddirectly underneath 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.

If a drawer is located directly underneath the cooktop, do notstore any pointed or small items, paper, serviettes, etc. in the drawer.They could get in through the ventilation slots or be sucked into thecasing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.

Never use two items of cookware on a cooking zone, casserolecooking zone, or PowerFlex area at the same time.


13

If the cookware only partially covers a cooking zone or casserolecooking zone, the handle could become very hot.Always place cookware in the middle of a cooking zone or casserolecooking zone.

If an induction adapter plate is used for cookware, the inductiongenerators may be damaged or even destroyed. Do not useinduction adapter plates.


14

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.The steam could reach electrical components and cause a shortcircuit.

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).

Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for aminimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following thediscontinuation of your cooktop.

Initial commissioning

22

Please stick the extra data plate forthe appliance supplied with thisdocumentation in the space providedin the “After sales service” section ofthis manual.

Remove any protective foil andstickers from the cooktop.

Cleaning the cooktop for thefirst time Before using it for the first time, wipe

down the cooktop with a damp clothand then wipe it dry.

Turning on the cooktop for thefirst timeMetal components are protected by aconditioning agent. Smells and vapourmay occur when the appliance is usedfor the first time. The heating of theinduction coils also causes odours inthe first few hours of operation. Witheach subsequent use, the odour isreduced until it disappears entirely.

The smell and any vapors that mayoccur do not indicate a faultyconnection or defective appliance andare not harmful to your health.

Please note that the heating-up timefor induction cooktops is very muchshorter than for conventionalcooktops.

Induction

23

Mode of operationAn induction coil is located under eachcooking zone. The coil creates amagnetic field that reacts directly withthe base of the pan and heats it up. Thecooking zone itself is heated upindirectly by the heat given off by thepan.

An induction cooking zone only workswhen a piece of cookware with amagnetic base is placed on it (see“Induction – Cookware”). The inductioncooking zone automatically recognizesthe size of the cookware.

Risk of burning due to hot items.When the cooktop is switched oneither deliberately or by mistake, orwhen there is residual heat present,there is the risk of metal items placedon the cooktop heating up.Do not use the cooktop to storeitems.After use, switch the cooktop off withthe sensor control.

Cookware

Suitable cookware

- Stainless steel with a magnetic base

- Enamel-coated steel

- Cast iron

The composition of the cookware basecan affect the evenness of the cookingresults (e.g., when making pancakes).The base of the pan must be able todistribute the heat evenly. A sandwichbase made of stainless steel isparticularly suitable.

Unsuitable cookware

- Stainless steel without a magneticbase

- Aluminum or copper

- Glass, ceramic, earthenware,stoneware

Testing cookware

To test whether a pot or pan is suitablefor use on an induction cooktop, hold amagnet to its base. If the magnet sticks,the cookware is generally suitable.

Induction

24

No cookware / unsuitable cookwaredisplay

The set power level flashes in thenumerical keybank for the cooking zoneif

- no cookware or unsuitable cookware(items without a magnetizablebottom) is being used

- the bottom diameter of the cookwarebeing 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, theflashing power level will go out and youcan continue as usual.

If no cookware or if unsuitablecookware is used, the cooking zone willautomatically turn off after 3 minutes.

Tips

- To make optimum use of the cookingzones, choose cookware with asuitable base diameter (see“Overview”, “Cooking zone data”). Ifthe cookware is too small it will notbe recognized.

- Position the cookware as centrally aspossible on the relevant cookingzone / cooking area.

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

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

- The maximum diameter indicated bymanufacturers will often refer to thediameter of the top rim of the pot orpan. The diameter of the base(generally smaller) is more important.

- If possible, use pans with straightsides. If pans with sloped sides areused, the induction also takes effectaround the edges of the pan. Thiscan cause the edge of the pan tobecome discolored or the coating topeel off.

Induction

25

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

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

Cookware with bottoms made ofdifferent materials (e.g., sandwichbottoms) may produce a cracklingnoise.

Whistling may occur if connectedcooking zones (see “Operation”,“Booster”) are simultaneously in useand cookware with bottoms made ofdifferent materials (e.g., sandwichbottoms) is placed on them.

The electronics may produce a clickingsound, especially at lower power levels.

You may hear a whirring sound whenthe cooling fan turns on. It turns on toprotect the electronics when thecooktop is being used intensively. Thefan may continue to run after thecooktop has been turned off.

Energy saving tips

26

- Use a lid whenever possible tominimize heat loss.

- For small quantities, select a smallpan. A small pan on a small cookingzone uses less energy than a large,only partially filled pan on a largecooking zone.

- 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.

- Use a pressure cooker to reduce thecooking time.

Setting range

27

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 thesettings will need to be adjusted slightly to suit your pans. As you use the cooktop, you willget to know which settings suit your pans best. When using new pans that you are notfamiliar with, set the power level below the one specified.

Operation

28

Basic operationThe ceramic cooktop is equipped withelectronic sensor buttons that react tofinger contact. During activation, theOn/Off sensor button must bepressed somewhat longer than theother buttons for safety reasons.Each reaction of the buttons isacknowledged with an audible signal.

When the cooktop is turned off, only thepressed symbols for the On/Off andSystem Lock/Safety Lock sensorbuttons are visible. When you switch onthe cooktop, all other sensor buttonslight up. When you turn on the cookingzone, the sensor button lights up inbrightness level 2, and the through sensor buttons light up in brightnesslevel 1.When you set a power level, the sensor buttons light up to the set powerstage in brightness level 2.If the booster or Keep Warm function isset, the corresponding sensor buttonlights up in brightness level 2.

Malfunction can occur due todirty and / or covered sensorbuttons.If the sensor buttons are dirty orcovered this could cause them to failto react, to activate a function, oreven to switch the cooktop offautomatically (see “Safety features”,“Safety shut-off”). Placing hotcookware on the sensorbuttons / indicators can damage theelectronic underneath.Keep the sensor buttons andindicators clean.Do not place anything over thesensor buttons or indicators.Do not place hot cookware over thesensor buttons or indicators.

BoosterThe cooking zones are equipped with aBooster, TwinBooster or WaterBoostdepending on model (see “Guide to theappliance – Cooktop”). You can use thebooster function for a maximum of twocooking zones at the same time.

When activated, the power is boostedfor a maximum of 15 minutes so thatlarge quantities can be heated quickly,e.g., water for cooking pasta.

The booster can be used on amaximum of two cooking zones at thesame time.

If the booster function is turned onwhen

- no power level has been selected,the cooking zone will revertautomatically to level 9 at the end ofthe booster time or if the boosterfunction is turned off before this.

- a power level has been selected, thecooking zone will revert automaticallyto the setting selected at the end ofthe booster time or if the boosterfunction is turned off before this.

Two cooking zones each are connectedwith each other so that the power forthe booster can be provided. Theconnected zone will operate at reducedpower while the booster is on. This hasone of the following effects:

Cleaning the ceramic surface

Risk of damage from sharp andpointed objects.The seal between the cooktop andthe countertop could be damaged.The seal between the ceramicsurface and the frame could bedamaged.Do not use sharp and pointedobjects for cleaning.

Using dish detergent to clean thecooktop will not remove all soilingand residues. It forms an invisiblecoating which will cause permanentdiscolouration of the ceramicsurface. This discolouration cannotbe removed.Clean the ceramic surface regularlywith a suitable ceramic cooktopcleaning agent.

First, wipe away all coarse soilingfrom the surface using a damp cloth.Stubborn soiling may need to beremoved with a scraper blade.

Then clean the ceramic surface withthe Miele Ceramic and Stainless SteelCleaner (see “Optional accessories –Cleaning and care products”) or witha proprietary ceramic cleaner appliedwith a paper towel or a clean cloth.Do not put the cleaner on a hotcooktop since this may causespotting. Please follow the cleaningagent manufacturer’s instructions.

Remove any cleaner residue with adamp cloth and then dry the ceramicsurface.

Residues can burn onto the cooktopthe next time it is used and causedamage to the ceramic surface.Ensure that all cleaning agent residuesare removed.

Spots from lime deposits, water, andaluminum deposits (shiny metallicspots) can be removed with aceramic and stainless steel cleaner.

Risk of burning due to hotcooking zones.The cooking zones are hot duringuse.Wear oven mitts when using ascraper blade to remove sugar,plastic, or aluminum foil residuesfrom a hot cooktop.

Should any sugar, plastic, oraluminum foil spill or fall onto a hotcooking zone while it is in use, firstswitch off the cooktop.

Then carefully scrape off theseresidues immediately while they arestill hot, using a shielded scraperblade.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

48

With the help of the following guide, minor faults in the performance of themachine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remediedwithout contacting the Service Department. This will save you time and moneybecause you won't need a service call.

This guide may help you find the reason for the fault and help you correct it.

Problem Possible cause and solution

Cooktop or cookingzones cannot be turnedon.

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

qualified electrician or Miele Service (for theminimum fuse rating, see data plate).

There may be a technical fault. Disconnect the cooktop from the power supply for

approx. 1 minute by– tripping the relevant circuit breaker or screwing

the fuse out completely, or– tripping the ground-fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI). If, after resetting / replacing the fuse or the GFCI,

the cooktop will still not turn on, contact aqualified electrician or Miele Service.

There is a strange smellor vapours when thecooktop is being usedfor the first time.

Metal components are protected by a conditioningagent. When the cooktop is used for the first time,this causes a smell and possibly also vapours. Thematerial from which the induction coils are made alsogives off an odour in the first few hours of operation.With each subsequent use, the odour is reduced untilit disappears completely. The odour and any vapoursdo not indicate a faulty connection or a defectiveappliance and are not harmful to your health.

Power levels 1 to 9flash.

There is no or unsuitable cookware on the cookingzone. Use a suitable pan (see “Cookware”).

Minimum clearance underneath thecooktop

To ensure proper ventilation of thecooktop, a minimum clearance isrequired between the appliance and anoven, protective base, or drawer.

The minimum clearance from thebottom of the cooktop to

- The top of an oven is ⁹/₁₆" (15 mm).

- The top of an interim shelf is⁹/₁₆" (15 mm).

- The base of a drawer is 3" (75 mm).

Protective base

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

Leave a gap of 7/16" (10 mm) at the backof the shelf to accommodate the cable.We recommend a gap at the front of theshelf of 13/16" (20 mm) to ensure goodventilation.

59

Safety distance from the wall covering

If a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintainedbetween the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures candamage these materials.

If the covering is made of a flammable material (such as wood), the minimumdistance between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be 50 mm(2" ).

For coverings made of non-flammable materials (such as metal, natural stone,ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance between the countertop cut-out andthe wall covering is equal to 50 mm (2") minus the thickness of the covering.For example: thickness of wall covering 15 mm (3/16")50 mm (2") - 15 mm (3/16") = minimum distance of 35 mm (1 7/16")
