Warning and Safety instructions Correct application This appliance complies with all relevant local and national safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before installation and before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on the installation, safety, operation and care of the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions Safety with children ~ Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. ~ Older children may use the appliance only when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse. They must be aware of the potential dangers caused by incorrect operation. ~ The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off.
Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety ~ Before installation, check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance is dangerous. ~ The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a suitably qualified electrician with a specialist connection cable of type H 05 VV-F (pvc insulated), available from the Miele Spare Parts Department. ~ Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Warning and Safety instructions ~ 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. ~ Do not flambé under a rangehood. The flames could set the rangehood on fire. ~ Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot. If this should occur, switch off the appliance, and carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the cooktop whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scaper blade. Take care not to burn yourself. If residues are allowed to cool before being removed, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even cracking.
Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material Disposal of your old appliance or machine The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Electrical and electronic appliances / machines often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment.
Before using for the first time Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the "After sales service" section of this booklet. Cleaning for the first time Remove any protective wrapping and stickers. 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.
Operation Switching on and off Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used. Controls on cooking zones without extended areas can be turned through 360°. These cooking zones are switched on by turning the appropriate control clockwise or anti-clockwise to the required setting, and switched off by turning the control clockwise or anti-clockwise back to "0". Controls for cooking zones with extended areas have a resistance on them.
Operation Settings Cooking process Setting Melting butter, chocolate etc. Dissolving gelatine Preparing yoghurt 1-2 Thickening sauces containing egg yolk and butter Warming small quantities of food/liquid Keeping warm food which sticks easily Cooking rice 1-3 Warming liquid and semi-solid foods Thickening sauces, e.g.
Operation Switching on an extended area Depending on model, the outer circle of a double circle zone or the extended cooking zone can be switched on to provide an extended cooking area when cooking with larger pans. Switch the extended cooking zone off by turning the control back to the “0” position. Proceed as follows: ^ Turn the cooking zone control clockwise past "12" as far as it will go. ^ Then turn the control anti-clockwise back to the required setting.
Operation Pans – Pans made from any material can be used on a ceramic cooktop. However, Miele recommends to refrain from using cookware with an exposed copper or aluminium base as they may leave permanent visual marks on the ceramic surface. – The best pans are those with a thick base which is very slightly concave when cold. When heated, the base flattens to rest evenly on the cooktop, optimising the conduction of the heat. – Lift pans into position on the cooktop.
Operation Tips on saving energy – Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss. – Use as little water as possible to cook with, and reduce the power setting once the water has come to the boil or the oil is hot enough to fry in. – When cooking for a long time, switch the cooking zone off about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. In this way, use is made of the residual heat. Uncovered Covered – Select a smaller pan when cooking small quantities.
Operation Overheating protection Overheating can be caused by: Each cooking zone is equipped with overheating protection. An internal temperature limiter switches off the heating elements in the cooking zone before the ceramic surface overheats. – switching on a cooking zone without a pan on it. Once the ceramic has cooled down to a safe level the heating will automatically switch back on again. – heating up an empty pan. – the base of a pan not sitting evenly on the cooking zone.
Cleaning and care For Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products see "Optional accessories". Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Only use proprietary cleaning products which are suitable for cleaning ceramic cooktops. 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.
Cleaning and care Spots caused by limescale deposits, water and aluminium residues (which have a metalic appearance) can be removed using the ceramic cooktop cleaner. Should any sugar, plastic or aluminium foil spill or fall on to a hot cooking zone, first switch off the appliance. Then carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the cooktop whilst they are still hot using a shielded scraper blade. Take care not to burn yourself.

Installation Preparing the worktop ^ Make the worktop cut-out following the dimensions applicable. Remember to maintain a minimum safety distance from the back wall, as well as from any tall unit or side wall to the right or left of the cooktop. See "Safety clearances". If during installation the corners of the frame are not flush with the worktop surface, the corner radius (ß R4) can be carefully scribed to fit.
Installation Fixing the spring clamps Granite and marble worktops Wooden Worktops 75 75 a ^ Position the spring clamps (supplied) a in the positions shown (see "Building-in dimensions") so that they are flush with the top edge of the cut-out, and secure with the 3.5 x 25 mm screws supplied. f a ^ Position the spring clamps a, and secure using double-sided tape f. g f a ^ Apply silicone g to the side edges and lower edge of the spring clamps.
Installation Installing the cooktop Wooden worktops ^ Feed the cooktop connection cable down through the cut-out. ^ Lightly position the cooktop on the spring clamps a. ^ Using both hands, press down evenly on the sides of the cooktop until it clicks into position. When doing this make sure that the seal under the cooktop sits flush with the worktop on all sides. This is important to ensure an effective seal all round. Do not use sealant. ^ Connect the cooktop to the mains.
Installation Sealant Tiled worktop Do not use any sealant unless expressly instructed to do so. The sealing strip under the edge of the top part of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for the worktop. The grouting a and the shaded area undermeath the cooktop frame must be smooth and even so that the frame sits evenly and the sealing strip underneath the top part of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for the worktop.
