or impair cooling.
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.
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar, or pieces of plastic or
In countries where there are areas

Warning and Safety instructions
Protection from burning and
scalding
Do not cover the appliance, e.g.
with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This
could be a fire hazard if the appliance
is switched on by mistake.
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.
Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil
or fat as these are fire hazards if
overheated. Very hot oil can catch fire
and could even set a cooker hood
above on fire. Always heat fat slowly,
watching as it heats.
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.
If, despite this, oil or fat does catch
fire, do not attempt to put out the
flames with water. Use a suitable fire
blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or
similar to smother the flames.
Do not heat up unopened tins of
food on the hob, as pressure will
build up in the tin and it can explode.
This could result in injury and scalding
or damage.
Do not flambé under a cooker
hood. The flames could set the
cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else.
Take particular care never to place
cutlery or other metal objects on the
hob. When the appliance is switched
on either deliberately or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present,
there is the risk of metal objects heating
up, with a danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other
objects left on the hob could also melt
or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the
ceramic surface and be difficult to
dislodge.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Appliance faults
Repairs may only be carried out by
a suitably qualified and competent
In the event of damage or a defect,
switch off the appliance immedi-
ately. 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.
person. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be very
dangerous and could damage the
appliance. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for unauthorised work. Never
open the housing of the appliance.
While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service engineer
authorised by the manufacturer.
Do not reconnect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply until after it has Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
been repaired.
If there is any damage to the
ceramic surface, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains
electricity supply immediately, and not
used until it has been repaired. Danger
of electric shock.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Futher safety notes
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high
temperatures and could damage the
ceramic surface. Fire hazard.
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.
To prevent damage to items which
are susceptible to magnetic fields,
e.g. credit cards, diskettes, pocket
calculators etc, do not leave them in the
immediate vicinity of the hob.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other
inflammable substances must not
be stored in a drawer under the hob.
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
Ensure pans are placed centrally
over the cooking zone to prevent
unnecessary exposure to the
electromagnetic field.
When using an electric socket near
the appliance, care should be
taken that the cable of the electrical
appliance does not come into contact
with the hot appliance. The insulation
on the cable could become damaged,
giving rise to an electric shock hazard.
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall
cooking time, including the size and
amount of food and its temperature.
Some foods may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking at a
sufficiently high temperature for long
enough. Therefore when cooking or
reheating food such as poultry, it is
particularly important the food is
completely cooked through. If in doubt,
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.
12
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of your
old appliance with your household
waste.
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.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply by a competent person. The
plug must be rendered useless, and the
cable cut off directly behind it to
prevent misuse. See the "Warning and
Safety" section of this booklet for further
details.
13
Before using for the first time
Cleaning and heating up for
the first time
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight
smell when heated up for the first time.
The smell and any vapours will
dissipate after a short time, and do not
indicate a faulty connection or
appliance.
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.
14
Induction
How it works
If a suitable pan is placed on the
cooking zone within 3 minutes, the ß
will go out and you can continue as
normal.
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.
If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed
on the cooking zone, the cooking zone
and the hob will switch off automatically
after 3 minutes.
Take particular care never to place
cutlery or other metal objects on the
hob. When the appliance is
switched on, either deliberately or
by mistake, or when there is residual
heat present, there is the risk of
metal objects heating up, with a
danger of burning.
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.
Depending on the material, other
objects left on the hob could also
melt or catch fire. Switch the zones
off after use.
The cooking zone will not work:
– if it is switched on without a pan in
place, or if the pan is unsuitable
(non-magnetic base).
– if the diameter of the base of the pan
is too small.
– if the pan is taken off the cooking
zone when it is switched on.
If this happens, ß will flash in the
relevant cooking zone display
alternating with 0 or the last power
setting selected .
15
Induction
Noises
The appliance has a cooling fan to help
extend the life of the electronics. When
the hob is being used intensively, this
will come on and you will hear a
whirring sound. The fan may continue
to run after the appliance has been
switched off.
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.
– Whistling might occur if linked zones
(see "Booster function") are being
used on the highest setting at the
same time, and the pans also have
bases made of layers of different
materials.
– You might hear a clicking sound from
the electronic switches, especially on
lower settings.
16
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.
– stainless steel pans with a magnetic
base
– enamelled steel pans
– cast iron pans
Unsuitable pans:
– stainless steel pans without a
magnetic base
Please note that the maximum diameter
quoted by manufacturers often refers to
the diameter of the top rim of the pot or
pan. The diameter of the base
– aluminium and copper pans
– glass, ceramic or earthenware pots
and pans
(generally smaller) is more important.
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable
for use on an induction hob, hold a
magnet to the base of the pan. If the
magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.
Tips on saving energy
Use a pan lid whenever possible to
minimise heat loss.
Please be aware that the properties of
the pan base can affect the eveness
with which food heats up in the pan.
Unless the pan manufacturer states
that you can do so, do not use pans
with very thin bases on this hob, and
never heat up empty pans as they
could get damaged. This could also
damage the appliance.

surrounding frame and between the
frame and the worktop.
After cleaning, dry thoroughly with a
soft cloth to prevent a build-up of
limescale deposits
To remove any limescale deposits,
caused for example by water boiling
over as well as metallic marks e.g. from
saucepan bases, the ceramic surface
can be cleaned using a proprietary
cleaning agent for ceramic surfaces
(available from the Miele Spare Parts
Department). Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.
Never use cleaners containing sand,
soda, alkalis, acids or chlorides,
oven sprays, dishwasher
detergents, nor steel wool, abrasive
cleaning agents, hard brushes,
scouring pads and cloths. You
should also avoid using sponges
etc. which have previously been
used with abrasive cleaning agents,
as this will damage the surface.
Finally, wipe the hob surface with a
damp cloth and then dry it with a clean
soft cloth. Ensure that every trace of
cleaner has been removed from the
surface. Any remaining trace could
have a corrosive effect on the hob
when it is next heated up.
Do not use washing up liquid to
clean the ceramic surface as it can
leave a blue sheen which may be
difficult to remove.
E-Cloth
Note that some cleaning agents contain
a protective additive designed to
prevent water marks and smears
adhering to the surface.
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic
and chrome without the use of
chemicals.

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.
Appliances with aluminium frames
(see data plate) are prone to
scratching, alkali and acid damage.
Take great care when cleaning the
aluminium frame. Do not use cleaning
agents for stainless steel or descaling
agents on aluminium surfaces. Soiling
should be wiped off as soon as
possible after using the appliance. If
the soiling is left for a long time it can
have a damaging effect on the
aluminium surfaces. Intensive cleaning
with proprietary ceramic cleaners can
cause the frames to take on a shiny
appearance.

– the zone was switched on by mistake
without a pan on it.
What to do if, ...
– the pan being used is suitable for
use on an induction zone, and that it
is large enough (see "Suitable pans").
... the hob or cooking zones cannot
be switched on
Check whether
– the pans being used are suitable.
... an individual cooking zone or the
whole hob has switched itself off
automatically
– the safety lock is activated.
If necessary, deactivate it (see
"Safety lock").
The safety switch-off feature or the

Problem solving guide
... one of the following has occurred:
... The cooling fan continues to run
after the appliance has been
switched off
– The booster has automatically
switched off early.
This is not a fault. The fan will continue
running until the appliance has cooled
down. It will then switch itself off
automatically.
– The power level has reduced.
The overheating protection mechanism
has been triggered (see "Overheating
protection").
... the food in the pan hardly heats up
or does not heat up at all when the
Auto heat-up function is switched on
This could be because:
– there is too much food in the pan.
– the pan is not conducting heat
properly.
Select a higher continued cooking
setting next time, or start cooking at the
highest setting and then turn down to a
lower setting manually later on.

Safety instructions for
installation
After installing the hob, ensure that
the connection cable cannot come
into contact with the underside of the
appliance. Make sure that there is no
mechanical obstruction, such as a
drawer, which could damage it.
Fit wall units and extractor hood
before fitting the hob to avoid
damaging the surface.
If a protective shelf is installed
under the built-in hob, there must
be a minimum distance of 190 mm
between it and the top of the worktop to
allow for ventilation to the appliance. A
gap of 10 mm is required at the back
for feeding the electrical cable through.
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.
Observe carefully the safety
distances given on the following
pages.
This equipment may only be used
in mobile installations such as
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment has been carried out by a
suitably qualified engineer.
Do not use any sealant except
where expressly instructed to do
so. The seal underneath the appliance
provides a sufficient seal for the
worktop (see "Sealant").
The hob may not be built in over a
fridge, fridge freezer, freezer,
dishwasher, washing machine or
tumble dryer.
All dimensions in this instruction booklet
are given in mm.
These hobs must not be installed
above ovens or cookers unless
these have a built-in cooling down fan.
33
Installation
Safety distance above the hob
When two or more appliances are
installed together below a cooker hood,
e.g. an electric hob and a gas wok
combiset, which have different safety
distances given in the installation
instructions, you should select the
greater distance of the two.
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. a minimum distance of at
least 760 mm must be maintained
between them and the hob below.
34
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).
Not allowed
The following minimum distances
should be adhered to for safety
reasons:
– 50 mm to the right or left of the
worktop cut-out to the nearest piece
of furniture (e.g. tall unit).
– 50 mm from the worktop cut-out to
the rear wall.

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.

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.
^ Feed the hob connection cable down
through the cut-out.
^ Place the hob centrally in the cut-out.
When doing this make sure that the
seal under the hob sits flush with the
worktop on all sides. This is important
to ensure an effective seal all round.
Do not use sealant.
See "Safety instructions for
installation".
^ Connect the hob to the mains.
^ Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable
heat-resistant sealant to avoid
swelling caused by moisture.
^ Check that the hob works.
If, during installation, you find that
the seals on the corners of the frame
are not flush with the worktop, the
corner radius ß R4, can be carefully
scribed to suit.
These hobs have a seal underneath
them to keep the hob securely in
position. Clamps are not required.
Any gap between the frame and
worktop will reduce with time.
39
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.
