To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before installation and be‐ fore using it for the first time. They contain important notes on in‐ stallation, safety, use and maintenance. Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compli‐ ance with these instructions.
Warning and Safety instructions Correct application This hob is intended for domestic use and use in other similar en‐ vironments. This hob is not intended for outdoor use. It is intended for domestic use only to cook food and keep it warm. Any other use is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.
Warning and Safety instructions Safety with children Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the hob unless they are constantly supervised. Children 8 years and older may only use the hob unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way and can recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation. Children must not be allowed to clean the hob unsupervised. Please supervise children in the vicinity of the hob and do not let them play with it.
Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re‐ pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician. Do not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous. Check the hob for visible signs of damage. Reliable and safe operation of this hob can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
Warning and Safety instructions Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu‐ ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts. The hob is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a remote control system. The hob must be connected to the electricity supply by a qualified electrician (see "Electrical connection").
Warning and Safety instructions Correct use The hob gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat indicators go out. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the hob when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the hob to heat up the room. Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the hob unat‐ tended when cooking with oil and fat.
Warning and Safety instructions You could burn yourself on the hot hob. Protect your hands with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to trans‐ fer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself. When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food blen‐ der, near the hob, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot come into contact with the hot hob.
Warning and Safety instructions Induction heating works extremely quickly and so the base of the pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time. Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used. Heat oil or fat for a maximum of one minute. Do not use the Boos‐ ter function to heat oil or fat. For people fitted with a heart pacemaker: Please note that the area immediately surrounding the hob is electromagnetically charg‐ ed.
Warning and Safety instructions Cleaning and care Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this hob. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short cir‐ cuit. If the hob is built in over a pyrolitic oven, the hob should not be used whilst the pyrolitic process is being carried out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the hob (see rele‐ vant section).

Before using for the first time Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this doc‐ umentation in the space provided in the "After sales service, data plate, guarantee" section of this booklet. Remove any protective wrapping and stickers. Cleaning the hob for the first time Before using for the first use, clean the hob with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry.
Induction The induction principle An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When a cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a magnet‐ ic field which impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats it up. The cooking zone itself is heated up indi‐ rectly by the heat given off by the pan. An induction cooking zone only works when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on it (see "Pans"). The induction cooking zone automatically recognises the size 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 alto‐ gether when the power setting is re‐ duced. If the pan base is made of layers of dif‐ ferent materials (e.g. in a sandwiched base), it might emit a cracking sound.
Induction Pans The following pan types are suitable: – Stainless steel with a base that can be magnetised, – enamelled steel, – cast iron. The following pan types are not suita‐ ble: – Stainless steel pans without a mag‐ netic base, – aluminium and copper pans, – glass, ceramic or earthenware pots and pans. 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 lid whenever possible to mini‐ mise heat loss. – Select a smaller pan when cooking small quantities. A smaller pan uses less energy than a larger pan with very little in it. – Cook with as little water as possible. – Once food has come to the boil or the oil in the pan is hot enough for frying, reduce the heat to a lower set‐ ting. – Use a pressure cooker to reduce cooking times.
Setting range The hob 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 "Pro‐ gramming").
Operation How the hob is operated The glass ceramic hob is equipped with electronic sensor controls which react to finger contact. For safety reasons, in order to switch the hob on, the On/ Off sensor needs to be touched for a little longer than the other sensors. A tone sounds each time a sensor is touched. When the hob is turned off, only the symbols for the On/Off and System Lock/Safety Lock sensors are visible. When you switch on the hob, all other sensors light up.
Operation Fire hazard. Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used. Please note that the heating up time on induction hobs is very much shorter than on conventional hobs. Switching on Touch the sensor. All of the sensors will light up. If no fur‐ ther entry is made, the hob will switch itself off after a few seconds for safety reasons. Selecting/changing the power level A cooking zone is not active if the sensor is the only one lit up in the con‐ trol panel.
Operation Setting the power level - ex‐ tended setting range Touch the area between the sensors. The sensors in front of and after the in‐ terim level will light up brighter than the other sensors. Example: if you have set power level 7. the num‐ bers 7 and 8 will be brighter than the other numbers. PowerFlex cooking area The PowerFlex cooking zones can be combined to form a PowerFlex cooking area (see "Guide to the appliance Hob").

Operation Booster The cooking zones are equipped with a Booster or TwinBooster (see "Guide to the appliance – Hob"). You can use the booster function for a maximum of two cooking zones at the same time. When activated, the power is boosted for a maximum of 15 minutes so that large quantities can be heated quickly, e.g. when boiling water for cooking pasta. The booster function can only be used on two cooking zones at the same time.
Operation During the booster time, the sensor and all of the sensors on the control scale light up at brightness level 2. Switching off the Booster / Twin‐ Booster Touch the sensor To switch on the Booster – once (booster) Touch the sensor for the cooking zone you wish. – repeatedly until the indicator lights go off (TwinBooster) Select a power level if necessary. or Touch the sensor. Select a different power level.
Operation Keeping warm The keeping warm function is for keeping food that has just been cooked warm, i.e. food that is still hot. It is not for reheating food that has gone cold. Switching the keep-warm setting on/off Touch the sensor for the cooking zone you wish to use. If the keeping warm function has been activated, the cooking zone will switch off automatically after a maximum of 2 hours. – Only use pots and pans for keeping food warm and cover with a lid.
Timer The hob has to be switched on if you wish to use the timer. You can set a time between 1 minute () and 9 hours (.). The timer can be used for two different functions: Minute minder Setting the minutes Example: You want to set a time of 15 minutes. Make sure the hob is switched on. – to set the minute minder Touch the sensor. – to set a cooking zone to switch off automatically. The sensor flashes. appears in the timer display, and the right flash‐ es.
Timer Setting the hours To change a setting To set full hours, touch the respective sensor on the control scale. To set half hours, touch the space between 2 sen‐ sors on the control scale. Touch the sensor. Example: You want to set a time of 2 hours and 30 minutes. To delete a setting Make sure the hob is switched on. Touch the sensor on the control scale. Touch the sensor. Set the time you want, as described above. Touch the sensor. The sensor flashes.
Timer Switching a cooking zone off automatically You can set a time at the end of which a cooking zone will switch off automati‐ cally. This function can be used for all the cooking zones at the same time. If the time programmed is longer than the maximum operational time al‐ lowed, the cooking zone will switch off after the maximum time allowed (see relevant section). Select a power level for the cooking zone you require.
Timer Using both timer functions at the same time The minute minder and automatic switch-off functions can be used at the same time. If you have programmed in one or more switch-off times, and would like to use the minute minder as well: Touch the sensor repeatedly until the indicator lights of the program‐ med cooking zones light up con‐ stantly and appears in the timer display. Set the time as described above.
Additional functions Stop&Go When Stop&Go is activated, the power of all cooking zones in use is reduced to power level 1. The cooking zone power levels and the timer settings cannot be altered and the hob can only be switched off. A set mi‐ nute minder time and the Booster time will continue to count down. Auto heatup and automatic switch-off times set will be put on hold.
Safety features System lock / Safety lock The system lock and safety lock are deactivated if there is an interruption to the power supply. Three-finger control is the default set‐ ting. You can change the default to one-finger control (see "Program‐ ming"). Your hob is equipped with a system lock and a safety lock to prevent the hob and the cooking zones being switched on or any settings being al‐ tered. The system lock is activated when the hob is switched off.
Safety features Safety switch-off Safety switch-off with an overlong cooking time The safety switch-off mechanism is triggered automatically if one of the cooking zones is heated for an unusual‐ ly long period of time. This period of time depends on the power level selec‐ ted. Once exceeded, the cooking zone switches off and the residual heat indi‐ cators appear. The cooking zone can be operated again after it has been switched off and back on.
Safety features Overheating protection All the induction coils and cooling ele‐ ments for the electronics are fitted with an overheating protection mechanism. Before the induction coils or cooling el‐ ements get too hot, the overheating protection mechanism cuts in in one of the following ways: Induction coils – Any booster function in operation will be switched off. – The set power level will be reduced. – The cooking zone turns off automati‐ cally. flashes in the timer display alternating with .
Cleaning and care Danger of burning. Unsuitable cleaning agents The cooking zones must be switch‐ ed off. The hob must have cooled down. To avoid damaging the surfaces of your appliance, do not use: Danger of injury. – cleaning agents containing soda, al‐ kalines, ammonia, acids or chlorides, The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach electrical components and cause a short cir‐ cuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the hob.
Cleaning and care Do not clean the area between the glass-ceramic surface and the frame or the frame and the worktop with sharp, pointed objects. This could damage to the seals. Do not use washing-up liquid to clean the appliance as washing-up liquid will not remove all soiling and deposits. It will form an invisible coating which will cause permanent discolouration of the ceramic surface. Clean the hob regularly with a suita‐ ble ceramic hob cleaning agent. Danger of burning.
