Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on its installation, safety, use and maintenance. The use of the appliance by the elderly or infirm or those who have not used the appliance before should be supervised by a competent and responsible person to avoid the risk of injury.
Warning and Safety instructions Never open the casing of the appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults. On hobs with bevelled glass edges a small gap may be visible between the hob and the worktop during the first few days after installation. This gap will reduce with time as the appliance is used and will not affect the electrical safety of your appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions Safety with children Use the safety lock to prevent children operating the appliance or altering the settings. The appliance is only intended for use by adults who have read these instructions. This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, keep children well away, and do not allow them to play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.
Warning and Safety instructions Protecting the appliance from damage Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a light object could cause damage in certain circumstances. Do not use pots or pans on the ceramic hob with bases with pronounced edges or or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans. These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently. Grains of salt and sand can also scratch.
Warning and Safety instructions Protection from burning and scalding The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat indicators go out. For added protection, it is advisable to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.
Warning and Safety instructions Appliance faults In the event of damage or a defect, switch off the appliance immediately. Disconnect completely from the electricity supply. If the appliance has not yet been fully installed, the electricity cable must be disconnected from the supply point. If connected via a plug and socket, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug. Contact the Miele Service Department. Do not reconnect the appliance to the mains electricity supply until after it has been repaired.
Warning and Safety instructions Futher safety notes For people fitted with a heart pacemaker: Please note that the area immediately surrounding the hob is electromagnetically charged, and that this could affect a pacemaker. If in any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor. Ensure pans are placed centrally over the cooking zone to prevent unnecessary exposure to the electromagnetic field. Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers.
Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Packaging, e.g. cling film, polystyrene and plastic wrappings, must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all packaging materials safely as soon as possible.
Before using for the first time General notes Cleaning for the first time Your appliance has a "programming" function which you can use to customise the appliance to your particular requirements (see "Programming"). Before using for the first time, clean the appliance with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry. Do not use washing up liquid to clean the ceramic surface as it can leave a blue sheen which may be difficult to remove.
Before using for the first time Calibrating the sensor switches Automatic calibration To ensure trouble free operation, the sensors – need to be recalibrated after installation and each time the electricity supply fails, e.g. after a power cut. The safety lock indicator lamp lights up during automatic calibration, and the hob cannot be switched on. – adjust themselves constantly whilst the hob is in use.
Induction How it works An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When a cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a magnetic field which impacts directly on 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. Induction cooking zones only work when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on it (see "Pans"). Induction automatically recognises the size of the pan, i.e. heat is only generated in the area covered by the base of the pan.
Induction Noises When using an induction cooking zone, the following noises can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and how it has been constructed. – On the higher power settings, it might buzz. 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 cracking sound.
Induction Pans Pan size Suitable pans include: To make optimum use of the cooking zones, choose pans with diameters larger than the innermost markings but smaller than the outermost markings. If the diameter of the pan is smaller than the innermost marking, the induction heating will not work. The zone will behave as if it had no pan on it.
Use Sensor switches Switching on This hob is equipped with electronic sensor switches which react to finger contact. To operate a cooking zone, touch the relevant sensor switch. Each time you touch a sensor switch, an audible tone sounds. The hob must be switched on before any of the zones can be used. Take care only to touch the middle of the sensor required. Keep the control panel clean, and do not place anything on top of it.
Use Settings Cooking process Power levels* standard factory settings (12 levels) extended settings** (23 levels) 1-2 1 - 2. Warming small quantities of food/liquid Keeping warm food which sticks easily Cooking rice Defrosting frozen vegetables 3 3 - 3. Warming liquid and semi-solid foods Thickening sauces, e.g. Hollandaise Making porridge Preparing omelettes, lightly fried eggs Steaming fruit 4-5 4-5 6 5. - 6.
Use Auto heat-up When Auto heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone switches on automatically at the highest power level and then switches to the continued cooking power level which you have previously selected. The heat-up time depends on which continued cooking power level has been chosen (see chart). Taking a pan off the zone whilst Auto heat-up is in operation interrupts the Auto heat-up. It will resume if a pan is placed back on the zone within 3 minutes.
Use How to activate Auto heat-up ^ While a 0 is lit up in the cooking zone display, touch the - sensor until the required continued cooking power level appears, e.g. 3. The 12 curved lines show in the light-ring during the Auto heat-up time. After the Auto heat-up time has finished, only the number of curved lines, for the relevant continued cooking power level which has been chosen, show in the light-ring.
Use Booster function All of the cooking zones are equipped with a booster function, i. e. an increase in the power level. If activated, the zones will operate on power level 12 with an extra boost of power for a period of 10 minutes. This booster is intended for quickly bringing large quantities of water to the boil, e.g. when cooking pasta. A maximum of three booster functions can be used at any one time. Taking a pan off the zone whilst the booster is in operation interrupts the booster function.
Use Switching off and residual heat indicators To switch off a cooking zone: ^ Touch the - and + sensors for the zone you want to switch off at the same time. A 0 will light up in the display for that zone for a few seconds. If the cooking zone is still hot, residual heat will then be indicated in the display. The lines of the residual heat indicator go out one after another as the cooking zones cool down. The last horizontal line only goes out when the cooking zone is safe to touch.
Timer and Memory function Introduction Setting the minute minder The hob is fitted with: - Minute minder (Timer function) - Automatic switch-off for the cooking zones (Timer function) - Memory function. The minute minder can be used with the hob switched on or off. It works like a manual kitchen timer. These functions are described one by one on the following pages. The Combi mode is described in the section of that name. You can set a time of 1 to 99 minutes using the Timer function.
Timer and Memory function Switching a cooking zone off automatically You can set a time at the end of which a given cooking zone will switch off automatically. This automatic switch-off function can be used on all of the cooking zones at the same time. ^ Select a power level for the zone you require, e.g. back right, in the usual way. ^ Touch the m sensor until the indicator lamp for the selected zone flashes (back right).
Timer and Memory function Memory function Recording a Memory programme The settings used on a particular cooking zone from switching on right through to switching off can be recorded as a Memory programme. Up to 5 of your favourite cooking processes can be saved as Memory programmes. However, only one programme can be recorded or used at any one time. Memory programmes can be recorded on any of the cooking zones. Each cooking zone can have more than one programme recorded on it.
Timer and Memory function Using a Memory programme The same pan must be used in order to obtain the same cooking result as when the programme was recorded. The quantity and size of individual ingredients must also be the same. ^ Switch the hob on. ^ Press the M sensor. P 1 will show in the Timer/Memory display. ^ Touch the + sensor until the programme number you require shows in the display. ^ Touch the M sensor until a long audible tone sounds.
Timer and Memory function Combi mode The minute minder, automatic switch-off and memory functions can all be used at the same time. If you wish to use the minute minder at the same time as another function: Touch the m sensor until the indicator lamps for the programmed cooking zones light up constantly, and 00 appears in the Timer/Memory display.
Safety features Safety lock To activate the safety lock: Keep children away from the hob for their own safety. ^ Touch the safety lock sensor $ until the relevant indicator lamp comes on. Your appliance is equipped with a safety lock to prevent the hob and the cooking zones being switched on or any settings being altered. The indicator lamp will go out after a short while. The safety lock can be activated when the hob is switched off as well as when it is in use.
Safety features Stop and Go To deactivate Stop and Go: Your appliance has a Stop and Go feature which, when activated, reduces the power of all cooking zones that have been switched on. This allows you to leave the hob unattended for a short time without any danger of pans boiling over or burning. ^ Touch the $ sensor until the indicator lamp goes out. To activate Stop and Go: ^ Touch the $ sensor until you hear two consecutive beeps.
Safety features Safety switch-off Safety switch-off if the sensors are covered Safety switch-off with an over-long cooking time Your hob is fitted with a safety switch-off feature in case you forget to switch it off yourself. If one of the cooking zones is heated for an unusually long period of time (see chart), and the power levels are not altered, the hob will switch itself off automatically and the appropriate residual heat indicator will appear. Power level* Maximum operating time in hours 1 / 1.
Safety features Overheating protection Overheating can be caused by: All of the induction coils and the cooling element for the electronics are fitted with an overheating protection mechanism. To prevent the induction coils and cooling element from overheating, the overheating protection mechanism works on the affected cooking zone or on the entire hob in the following ways: – heating up an empty pan – If the booster function is being used it will be switched off.
Cleaning and care Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability. Do not use any sharp objects which could damage the seal between the ceramic surface and the surrounding frame and between the frame and the worktop.
Cleaning and care Should any sugar, plastic or aluminium foil spill or fall on to a hot cooking zone while it is in use, first switch off the appliance. Then carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the hob whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Take care not to burn yourself. Allow the cooking zone to cool down, and then clean as described above with a suitable proprietary ceramic hob cleaner.
Programming You can change the standard settings of your hob (see chart). Proceed as follows: ^ With the hob switched off, touch the hob ON/OFF sensor s and the safety lock sensor $ at the same time until the indicator lamp for the safety lock flashes. To store the new settings in memory, touch the hob ON/OFF sensor s until the displays go out. If you do not wish to store the settings in memory, touch the safety lock sensor $ until the displays go out.

Installation Safety instructions for installation Fit wall units and extractor hood before fitting the hob to avoid damaging the surface. The veneer or laminate coatings of worktops (or adjacent kitchen units) must be treated with 100 °C heat-resistant adhesive which will not dissolve or distort. Any backmoulds must be of heat-resistant material. This equipment may only be used in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc.
Installation Safety distance above the hob A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the hob and the cooker hood above it. See the cooker hood manufacturer's operating and installation instructions for details. If the manufacturer's instructions are not available for the cooker hood, a minimum safety distance of at least 760 mm must be maintained. For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails, wall units etc.
Installation Safety distances to the sides of the hob Ideally the hob should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and a tall unit or wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider should stand higher than the hob (see illustrations). The following minimum distances should be adhered to for safety reasons: Not allowed – 50 mm to the right or left of the worktop cut-out to the nearest piece of furniture (e.g. tall unit).
Installation Safety distance when installing the appliance near a wall with additional niche cladding There must be a minimum distance of 50 mm between the niche cladding and the worktop cut-out. This distance is only necessary for niche cladding made of wood or any other combustible material. For non-combustible materials (metal, ceramic tiles or similar), this dimension can be reduced by the thickness of the niche cladding material. The materials can warp or distort when subjected to high temperatures.
Installation Installation above an oven a Ventilation gap for the fan when installed in a base unit without a back panel. When installed above a Miele oven in a worktop thickness 0 40 mm the minimum ventilation gap for the fan of 15 mm is present. If the worktop is ß 40 mm, a filler panel will have to be fitted above the oven.

Installation Preparing the worktop Installing the hob ^ Make the worktop cut-out following the dimensions applicable. Remember to maintain a minimum safety distance of 50 mm from the back wall, as well as from any tall unit or side wall to the right or left of the hob. See "Safety instructions for installation". ^ Feed the hob connection cable down through the cut-out. ^ Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable heat-resistant sealant to avoid swelling caused by moisture.
Installation Sealant Do not use any sealant unless expressly instructed to do so. The sealing strip under the edge of the top part of the hob provides a sufficient seal for the worktop. Do not use sealant between the frame of the top part of the hob and the worktop. This could cause difficulties if the hob ever needs to be taken out for servicing and possibly result in damage to the frame or the worktop.
Installation Electrical connection All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation or repair work has been carried out.
