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 beguaranteed if it is connected to the public power supply.

The electrical safety of this cooktop can only be guaranteed whenit is properly grounded. Compliance with this essential safetyrequirement is absolutely necessary. If in any doubt, please have thebuilding's electrical system checked by a qualified electrician.

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 powerbar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guaranteethe required safety of the appliance.

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

This cooktop must not be used in non-stationary locations (e.g. ona ship).

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

Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized servicetechnician will void the warranty.


8

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance if genuineMiele spare parts are used. Defective components must only bereplaced by genuine Miele spare parts.

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 "Electricalconnection").

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a specialconnection cable type H 05 VV-F (PVC insulated). See "Electricalconnection".

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

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.


9

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,cabinetry 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 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.

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 range 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 burnersoff 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 on the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage theceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off theappliance immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic oraluminum residues while still hot using a scraper blade. Wear ovenmitts when doing so. Allow the burners to cool down and clean themwith 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 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 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. 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 theappliance 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 housing bythe fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.

Do not use two pans on a cooking zone, a casserole cooking zoneor a PowerFlex 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 orcasserole cooking zone!


13

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).

Initial commissioning

20

Please affix the extra appliance dataplate supplied with thisdocumentation in the space providedin the "Service" section of thismanual.

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

21

How it worksAn induction coil is located under eachburner. When a zone is turned on, thiscoil creates a magnetic field thatinteracts directly with the base of thepan and heats it up. The burner itself isheated up indirectly by the heat givenoff by the pan.

An induction burner only works when aferromagnetic pan is placed on it (see"Cookware"). The induction burnerautomatically recognizes the size of thepan.

The symbol is shown in the cookingzone display and blinks alternately withthe preset power level, if

– the cooking zone has been switchedon without a pan in place, if the panis unsuitable (non-magnetic base),

– if the diameter of the base of the panis too small,

– or if the pan is taken off the cookingzone when it is switched on.

If a suitable pan is placed on thecooking zone within 3 minutes, the will go out and you can continue asnormal.

If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placedon the cooking zone, the cooking zonewill switch off automatically after 3minutes.

When the appliance is switchedon either deliberately or by mistake,or when there is residual heatpresent, there is the risk of heatingup any metal items placed on thecooktop.Burn hazard!Do not store items on top of thecooking area. Switch the cookingzones off after use by turning therelevant sensor button.

Induction

22

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

On the higher power settings, it mightbuzz. This will decrease or ceasealtogether when the power setting isreduced.

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

Whistling may occur if connectedcooking zones (see "Booster") aresimultaneously in use and cookwarewith bottoms made of differentmaterials (e.g. in a sandwiched base)are on them.

The electronics may produce a clickingsound, especially at lower powersettings.

You might 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 theappliance has been turned off.

Induction

23

CookwareSuitable cookware is made of:

– Stainless steel with a magneticbottom,

– enamel-coated steel,

– cast iron

Unsuitable cookware is made of:

– Stainless steel pans without amagnetic bottom,

– Aluminium or copper,

– Glass, ceramics, earthenware,stoneware.

To test whether a pot or pan is suitablefor use on an induction cooktop, hold amagnet to the bottom of the pan. If themagnet sticks, the pan is suitable.If an unsuitable pan is used, the symbol will flash alternately with thepower level set.

The composition of the pan bottom canaffect the evenness of the cookingresults (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 berecognized and will flash alternatelywith the power level set.

– Pots and pans with rough bottomscan scratch the ceramic surface.Only use pots and pans that aresmooth on the bottom.

– Lift pans into position on thecooktop. Sliding them into place cancause scuff marks and scratches.

– 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.

Energy saving tips

24

– Use a lid whenever possible tominimize 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.

– Use a pressure cooker to reduce thecooking time.

Setting range

25

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

26

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.

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 theduration. Exception: If there is only one cookingzone in operation, you can set or adjustthe power level without activating itfirst.

Malfunction can occur due to dirtyand/or covered sensor buttons.The sensor buttons do not react orunintentional switching proceduresresult, perhaps even the automaticdeactivation of the cooktop (see"Safety shut-off"). Hot cookware onthe sensor buttons/indicator lightscan damage the connectedelectronic module.Keep the sensor buttons andindicator lights clean. Do not placeany objects on them, and do not puthot cookware on them.

BoosterThe cooking zones are equipped with aBooster or TwinBooster (see "Overview– Cooking zone"). You can use theBooster for a maximum of two cookingzones 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:

Safety instructions for installation

51

Only a qualified technician shall be permitted to install the cooktop and onlyan authorized electrician shall be permitted to connect the power supply.

Install the upper cabinets and ventilation hood before installing the cooktop toavoid damaging the appliance.

The veneer or laminate coatings of countertops must be treatedwith 100 °C heat-resistant adhesive which will not dissolve orbecome deformed. Wall strips must also be heat-resistant.

The cooktop must not be installed above refrigerators/freezers,dishwashers, or washer/dryers.

This cooktop must not be installed above ovens or cookers unlessthese have a built-in cooling down fan.

Ensure that the power cord cannot be touched after the cooktophas been installed.

After the installation of the cooktop, the electrical cord may notcome into contact with any moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer) orbe subject to mechanical stress.

Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the followingpages.All dimensions are indicated in mm.

Safety clearances

52

Safety clearance above thecooktop

For a ventilation hood positioned abovethe cooktop, always use the clearancespecified by the hood manufacturer. Ifno specifications are available from thehood manufacturer, or if flammablematerials (e.g. wall shelf) are installedabove the cooktop, the clearance mustbe at least 760 mm.

If there is more than one applianceinstalled below the ventilation hood,each with a different safetyclearance, the largest clearance mustbe used.

Safety clearances

53

Safety clearances to the sidesand back of the cooktopIdeally, the cooktop should be installedwith plenty of space on either side.There may be a wall at the rear or a tallcabinet or wall on one side (right or left)(see illustrations).

Minimum distance between the backof the countertop cut-out and the rearedge of the countertop:50 mm

Minimum distance on the right sidebetween the countertop cut-out and theclosest adjacent piece of furniture (e.g.tall cabinet) or a room wall:50 mm

Minimum distance on the left sidebetween the countertop cut-out and theclosest adjacent piece of furniture (e.g.tall cabinet) or a room wall:50 mm

Not permitted!

Highly recommended!

Safety clearances

54

Minimum clearanceunderneath the cooktopTo 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 15 mm.

– The top of an interim shelf is15 mm.

– The base of a drawer is 75 mm.

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

Leave a gap of 10 mm at the back ofthe shelf to accommodate the cable.We recommend a gap at the front of theshelf of 20 mm to ensure goodventilation.

Safety clearances

55

Safety distance from the wall coveringIf 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.

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 minus the thickness of the covering.For example: thickness of wall covering 15 mm50 mm - 15 mm = minimum distance of 35 mm
