Technical safety
Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by
a Miele authorized service technician in accordance with national
and local safety regulations and the provided installation instruc-
tions. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for examination,
repair or adjustment. Repairs and other work by unauthorized per-
sons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so.
Service work may only be performed by a qualified technician.
A damaged cooktop can be dangerous. Always check for visible
signs of damage. Never use a damaged appliance.
Reliable and safe operation of the cooktop can only be guaran-
teed if it is connected to the public power supply.
Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appli-
ance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective
grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement
be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house
checked by a qualified electrician.
Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been in-
stalled correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified techni-
cian.
To avoid damaging the cooktop, make sure that the connection
data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the
building'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 power
bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
For safety reasons, the cooktop may only be used when it has
been fully installed.
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the cooktop will endanger your safety
and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Do not open the casing of the cooktop under any circumstances.
Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized service techni-
cian will void the warranty.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the
safety of the appliance.
The appliance is not intended for use with an external timer switch
or a remote control system.
Connection of the cooktop to the electrical power supply must
only be performed by a qualified electrician (see "Electrical connec-
tion").
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified
electrician with a special power cord, which is available from Miele
Service. See "Electrical connection."
The appliance must be completely disconnected from the electric-
ity supply during installation, maintenance and repair work. Ensure
that power is not supplied to the appliance until after it has been in-
stalled or until any maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
Disconnect by
– removing the fuse,
– "tripping" the circuit breaker, or
– unplugging the unit (if equipped with plug). Pull the plug not the
cord.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
If the cooktop is fitted with a communication module, in addition
to disconnecting the cooktop, this module must also be discon-
nected from the electrical supply during installation and maintenance
of the cooktop as well as while any repair work is being carried 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 and
do not continue to use it. Disconnect the cooktop from the power
supply and contact Miele.
If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the
door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build
up behind the closed door and cause damage to the cooktop, cabi-
netry, and flooring. Do not close the door until the cooktop has com-
pletely cooled down.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
Proper use
The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while af-
ter being turned off. There is a potential hazard until the residual heat
indicator goes out.
When in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat,
which can cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire.
Never use the cooktop to heat the room.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking on high
power. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter,
which can ignite on the cooktop.
Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches
fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water.
Turn off the cooktop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable
fire blanket.
Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing
agent or foam fire extinguisher.
Storage in or on the appliance: Flammable materials should not be
stored in an oven or in the vicinity of the cooktop.
The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire.
Do not flambé under a ventilation hood.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the appliance. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resis-
tant.
Never heat empty cookware.
Do not heat or can food in closed containers, such as tins or
sealed jars, on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the container
and cause it to explode.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the
cover will ignite, explode or melt if the range is still hot or if turned on
inadvertently. Never cover the cooktop with a board, cloth or protec-
tive sheet.
If the cooktop is turned on or accidentally turned on or if it is still
hot, metal objects on the cooktop can heat up. Other items may melt
or catch fire. Damp lids can become attached to the cooktop by
suction. Do not store items on the cooktop! Always turn the burners
off after use!
You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. 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 mixer, near the
cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into con-
tact with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation could become dam-
aged.
Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can
cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that the ce-
ramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.
Even a light object can cause damage to the ceramic cooktop in
certain circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
Do not place hot pans on the sensor buttons and display as this
could cause damage to the electronics underneath. Do not place hot
pans on the area around the display.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum
foil to get onto the burners when they are hot, as they can damage
the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off
the appliance and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminum
residues while still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Wear oven
gloves. Allow the burners to cool down and clean them with a suit-
able ceramic cleaning agent.
Pans that boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do not
leave the appliance unattended while it is being used.
Pots and pans with bases with pronounced edges or ridges can
scratch the ceramic burner. Only use pots and pans with smooth
bases.
Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
Fire hazard! Loose-fitting or hanging garments can catch fire. Be
sure to wear appropriately fitting clothing when cooking. Never allow
loose clothing or flammable materials to come into contact with the
burners while the burners are in use.
Because induction heating works so quickly, the temperature of
the cookware bottom can quickly reach the ignition point of oils and
fats. Never leave the cooktop unattended when it is on!
Do not heat oils and fats for longer than one minute, and never
use the booster.
For people who have a heart pacemaker: Please note that the area
immediately surrounding the cooktop is electromagnetically charged.
It is very unlikely to affect a pacemaker. However, if in any doubt,
consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor.
Objects affected by electromagnetic fields, for instance credit
cards, CDs and calculators, should be kept away from the cooktop
when it is on.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the cooktop can become
hot if the appliance is used intensively for a long time. Do not store
any metal items or utensils in a drawer under the cooktop.
This cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted
directly underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient space
between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the appli-
ance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation of the cooktop. Do not
store pointed or small items or paper in the drawer. They could get in
through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the housing by the fan
and damage the fan or impair cooling.
Do not use two pans on a cooking 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 or
roasting zone.
Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if they
are used to wipe spilled food off a hot burner. Some cleansers can
emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be careful
when cleaning the cooktop.
If the burner is damaged, cleansers or spilled food can penetrate
the glass surface and cause a short-circuit. Never cook on a dam-
aged burner. Contact an electrician immediately.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
The steam may reach electrical components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
If the cooktop is built in over a self cleaning oven, the cooktop
should not be used while the self cleaning process is being carried
out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on
the cooktop (see relevant section).

Initial commissioning
22
Please adhere the extra appliance
data plate (supplied) in the space pro-
vided in the "After sales service" sec-
tion of this manual.
Remove any protective foil and stick-
ers.
Cleaning the cooktop for the
first time
Before first use, wipe down the appli-
ance with a damp cloth and dry it.
Turning on the cooktop for the
first time
Metal components are protected by a
conditioning agent. Smells and vapor
may occur when the appliance is used
for the first time. The heating of the in-
duction coils also causes odors in the
first few hours of operation. With each
subsequent use, the odor is reduced
until it disappears entirely.
The smell and any vapors do not indi-
cate a faulty connection or a defective
appliance and are not harmful to your
health.
Please note that the heat-up time for
induction cooktops is very much
shorter than for conventional cook-
tops.
Induction
23
How it works
An induction coil is located under each
cooking zone. When a zone is turned
on, this coil creates a magnetic field
that 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.
An induction cooking zone only works
when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on
it (see "Cookware"). The induction
cooking zone automatically recognizes
the size of the pan.
On the control scale of the cooking
zone, power levels 1 to 9 flash if:
– No cookware or unsuitable cookware
(items without a magnetizable bot-
tom) is being used.
– The bottom diameter of the cookware
being used is too small.
– The cookware is removed from a
cooking zone that is on.
If suitable cookware is placed on the
cooking zone within 3 minutes, you can
continue as usual.
If no cookware or if unsuitable cook-
ware is used, the cooking zone will au-
tomatically turn off after 3 minutes.
When the appliance is turned on
either inadvertently or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present,
there is the risk of the metal items
heating up.
Burn hazard!
Do not use the cooktop as a storage
space. Turn the cooking zones off af-
ter use with the appropriate sensor
buttons.
Induction
24
Noises
When you use an induction cooking
zone, the following noises may occur,
depending on the type and shape of the
cookware bottom:
On the higher power settings, it might
buzz. This will decrease or cease alto-
gether when the power setting is re-
duced.
Cookware with bottoms made of differ-
ent materials (e.g. sandwich bottoms)
may produce a crackling noise.
Whistling may occur if connected cook-
ing zones (see "Booster") are simultane-
ously in use and cookware with bot-
toms made of different materials are on
them.
The electronics may produce a clicking
sound, especially at lower power set-
tings.
You might hear a whirring sound when
the cooling fan turns on. It turns on to
protect the electronics when the cook-
top is being used intensively. The fan
may continue to run after the appliance
has been turned off.
Induction
25
Cookware
Suitable cookware is made of:
– Stainless steel with a magnetizable
bottom
– Enamel-coated steel
– Cast iron
Unsuitable cookware is made of:
– Stainless steel with a non-magnetiz-
able bottom
– Aluminum or copper
– Glass, ceramics, earthenware,
stoneware
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable
for use on an induction cooktop, hold a
magnet to the base of the pan. If the
magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.
If an unsuitable pan is used, the 1-9
power levels will flash on the control
scale of the cooking zone.
The composition of the pan bottom can
affect the evenness of the cooking re-
sults (e.g., when making pancakes).
– To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with diameters
larger than the innermost markings
but smaller than the outermost mark-
ings (see "Cooking zone data"). If the
diameter of the pan is smaller than
the innermost marking, the pan will
not be recognized and the 1-9 power
levels will flash on the control scale of
the zone.
– Pots and pans with bases with pro-
nounced edges or ridges can scratch
the ceramic cooking zone. Only use
pots and pans with smooth bases.
– Lift pans into position on the cook-
top. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
– Often the maximum diameter quoted
by manufacturers refers to the diame-
ter of the top rim of the pot or pan.
The diameter of the base (generally
smaller) is more important.
– If possible, use pans with straight
sides. If pans with sloped sides are
used, the induction also takes effect
around the edges of the pan. This
can cause the edge of the pan to be-
come discolored or the coating to
peel off.
Energy saving tips
26
– Use a lid whenever possible to mini-
mize heat loss.
– For small quantities, select a small
pan. A small pan on a small burner
uses less energy than a large, only
partially filled pan on a large burner.
– Cook with as little water as possible.
– Once food has come to the boil or
the pan is hot for frying, reduce the
heat to a lower power setting.
Power setting ranges
27
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 vary
depending on the size and material of the pan. For this reason, it is possible that the set-
tings will need to be adjusted slightly to suit your pans. As you use the cooktop, you will get
to know which settings suit your pans best. For new cookware whose properties for use you
are not yet familiar with, set the next lowest power level than the one specified.
Operation
28
Basic operation
The glass ceramic cooking zone is
equipped with electronic sensor but-
tons that react to finger contact. During
activation, the On/Off sensor button
must be pressed somewhat longer than
the other buttons for safety reasons.
Each reaction of the buttons is ac-
knowledged with an acoustic signal.
When the cooktop is turned off, only the
pressed symbols for the On/Off and
System Lock/Safety Lock sensor
buttons are visible. When you switch on
the cooktop, all other sensor buttons
light up. When you turn on the cooking
zone, the sensor button lights up in
brightness level 2, and the through
sensor buttons light up in brightness
level1.
When you set a power level, the sen-
sor buttons light up to the set power
stage in brightness level 2.
If the booster or keep warm function is
set, the corresponding sensor button
lights up in brightness level2.
Malfunction due to dirty and/or cov-
ered sensor buttons
The sensor buttons do not react or
unintentional switching procedures
result, perhaps even the automatic
deactivation of the cook top (see
"Safety switch-off"). Hot cookware
on the sensor buttons/indicator lights
can damage the connected elec-
tronic module.
Keep the sensor buttons and indica-
tor lights clean, do not place any ob-
jects on them, and do not put hot
cookware on them.

Operation
32
TwinBooster / Booster
The cooking zones are equipped with a
booster or TwinBooster (see "Overview
– Cooking zone"). You can use the
booster 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., pasta water.
If the booster function is turned on
when
– no power level has been selected,
the cooking zone will revert automati-
cally to level 9 at the end of the
booster time or if the booster func-
tion is turned off before this.
– a power level has been selected, the
cooking zone will revert automatically
to the setting selected at the end of
the booster time or if the booster
function is turned off before this.
Two cooking zones are connected so
the power for the booster can be
achieved. The connected zone will op-
erate at reduced power while the
booster is on. This has one of the fol-
lowing effects:
– If the Auto Heat-up was previously
active, it will be turned off.
– The power level that is set will be re-
duced.
– The connected cooking zone will be
turned off.

i.e., food that is still hot. It is not for re-
heating cold food.
If the keep warm function has been ac-
tivated, the cooking zone will turn off
automatically after a maximum of 2
hours.
– Only use pans for keeping food
warm. Cover the pan with a lid.
– It is not necessary to stir the food
while it is being kept warm.
– Nutrients are lost when food is
cooked, and continue to diminish

Safety shut-off
Safety shut-off with an overlong
cooking time
The safety shut-off is triggered auto-
matically if a cooking zone is heated for
an unusually long period of time. This
time depends on the power level se-
lected. If it has been exceeded, the
cooking zone turns off and the residual
heat indicator appears. If you turn the
cooking zone on and off again, it is
ready for operation again.
Safety shut-off if the sensors are
covered
Your cooktop will turn off automatically
if one or several of the sensors remain
covered for longer than 10 seconds, for
example, by finger contact, food boiling
over or by an object such as an oven
glove or tea towel. flashes in the timer
display and a buzzer sounds every
30seconds for 10minutes.

Overheat protection
All the induction coils and the cooling
elements for the electronics are
equipped with an overheating protec-
tion mechanism. To prevent the induc-
tion coils and cooling elements from
overheating, the overheating protection
mechanism works on the affected
cooking zone or on the entire cooktop
in the following ways:
Inductive coils
– Any booster function in operation will
be turned off.
– The power level that is set will be re-
duced.
– The cooking zone turns off automati-
cally. flashes in the timer display
alternatingly with .
You can use the cooking zones again as
usual when the fault message has gone
out.
Cooling elements
– Any booster function in operation will
be turned off.
– The power level that is set will be re-
duced.
– The cooking zones turn off automati-
cally.
The affected cooking zones can only be
used again if the cooling element has
cooled down to a safe level.
Overheating can be caused by:
– Heating empty cookware
– Fats or oils being heated at high
power settings
– Underside of cooktop insufficiently
ventilated
– A hot cooking zone being turned on
after a power outage
If, despite elimination of the cause, the
overheat protection is triggered again,
contact Miele Service.
Cleaning and care
43
Burn hazard!
The burners must be turned off and
allowed to cool completely.
Risk of injury!
The steam from a steam cleaner
could reach electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the cooktop.
All cooktop surfaces can become
discolored or damaged if unsuitable
cleaning agents are used.
The outer surfaces of the cooktop
are susceptible to scratching.
Immediately remove any residues left
by cleaning agents.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To prevent damage to surfaces, avoid
the following while cleaning:
– Liquid dish soap
– Cleaners containing soda, alkaline,
ammonia, thinners, or chlorides
– Descaling agents
– Stain or rust removers
– Abrasive cleaning agents, such as
powder or cream cleansers, pumice
stones
– Solvent-based cleaners,
– Dishwasher detergent
– Grill and oven sprays
– Glass cleaning agents
– Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g., pot scourers, brushes or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents
– Eraser sponges
Cleaning and care
44
Cleaning the glass ceramic
surface
Risk of damage from sharp and
pointed objects!
Do not clean the area between the
glass-ceramic surface and the frame
or the frame and the counter with
sharp objects.
When cleaning with liquid dish soap,
not all contaminants and residues
are removed.
An invisible film forms, which causes
discoloration of the ceramic. This
discoloration cannot be removed.
Clean the glass ceramic surface reg-
ularly with a suitable ceramic cook-
top cleaning agent.
First wipe down the surface with a
damp cloth to loosen soiling, then re-
move stubborn crusting with a glass
scraper.
Clean the cooktop with the Miele ce-
ramic or stainless steel cleaner (see
"Optional accessories") using a paper
towel or a clean cloth. Do not put the
cleaner on a hot cooktop since this
may cause spotting. Please follow the
detergent manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
Finally wipe the cooktop with a damp
cloth and dry it with a soft, dry cloth.
Residues can burn onto the cooktop
the next time it is used and cause
damage to the glass ceramic surface.
Ensure that all cleaner residues are re-
moved.
Spots caused by limescale, water
and aluminum residues (spots with a
metallic appearance) can be removed
using Miele's ceramic and stainless
steel cooktop cleaner.
Danger of burning!
Wear pot holders and use a glass
scraper to remove sugar, plastic or
aluminum residues from the hot
cooktop.
Should any sugar, plastic or alu-
minum foil spill or fall onto a hot
cooking zone while it is in use, first
switch off the appliance.
Then carefully scrape off these
residues immediately while they are
still hot, using a shielded scraper
blade.
Afterwards, clean the glass ceramic
surface in its cooled state, as de-
scribed above.

With the help of the following guide minor faults in the performance of the ma-
chine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remedied with-
out contacting the Service Department. Time and money will be saved because a
service call will not be needed.
This guide may help you to find the reason for the fault, and how to correct it.
Problem Possible cause and solution
Cooktop or cooking
zones cannot be turned
on.
There is no power to the cooktop.
Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. Contact
an electrician or Miele Service (for the minimum
fuse rating, see data plate).
There may be a technical fault.
Disconnect the appliance from the electric power
supply for approx. 1 minute by
– tripping the relevant circuit breaker or screwing
the fuse out completely, or
– tripping the ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI).

There is a strange smell
or vapors when the ap-
pliance is being used
for the first time.
Metal components are protected by a conditioning
agent. Smells and vapor may occur when the appli-
ance is used for the first time. The smell and any va-
pors do not indicate a faulty connection or a defective
appliance and are not harmful to your health. With
each subsequent use, the odor is reduced until it dis-
appears completely. The smell and any vapors do not
indicate a faulty connection or a defective appliance
and are not harmful to your health.

Your cooktop is communication en-
abled and can communicate with the
ventilation hood using the wireless USB
stick included with selected ventilation
hoods (Con@ctivity). The cooktop
sends information on its operating sta-
tus to the ventilation hood. The opera-
tion of the ventilation hood is automati-
cally controlled by the power setting of
the connected cooktop.
If you want to log your cooktop onto

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION
52
Installation and connection of the
cooktop to the electrical power sup-
ply may only be performed by a
qualified electrician.
Install the upper cabinets and venti-
lation hood before installing the
cooktop to avoid damaging it.
Reaching over a hot cooktop
to access the cabinets can result
in burns. You can reduce the risk
of burns by installing a ventilation
hood that extends at least
4¾" (12cm) past the bottom of
the cabinets. Do not install any
cabinets above the cooktop.
The countertop must be heat-
resistant (up to 212°F / 100°C),
so that it does not become de-
formed or the veneer detached.
The wall strips must be heat-re-
sistant as well.
The cooktop must not be in-
stalled above refrigerators/freez-
ers, dishwashers, or washer/dry-
ers.
This cooktop may only be in-
stalled above a stove or oven if
they have a built-in cooling fan.
Ensure that the power cord
cannot be touched after the
cooktop has been installed.
After the installation of the
cooktop, the electrical cord may
not come into contact with any
moving kitchen parts (e.g. a
drawer) or be subject to mechan-
ical stress.
Observe carefully the safety
clearances listed on the following
pages.
Safety clearances
53
Safety clearance above the
cooktop
For a ventilation hood above the cook-
top, always use the clearance specified
by the hood manufacturer. If there are
no specifications from the hood manu-
facturer or if flammable materials (e.g. a
utensil rail) are installed above the
cooktop, the clearance must be at least
30" (760 mm).
If there is more than one appliance
installed below the ventilation hood,
each with a different safety clear-
ance, the largest clearance must be
used.
Safety clearances
54
Safety clearances to the sides
and back of the cooktop
In installing a cooktop there may be an
optionally high cabinet or room wall
against the rear side and one of the
sides (right or left) (see illustrations).
minimum distance between the back
of the counter cut-out and the rear edge
of the counter:
2" (50mm)
minimum distance to the right of the
counter cut-out to the closest adjacent
piece of furniture (for instance, a high
cabinet) or a room wall:
2" (50mm)
minimum distance to the left of the
counter cut-out to the closest adjacent
piece of furniture (for instance, a high
cabinet) or a room wall:
2" (50mm)
Not permitted!
Highly recommended!
Not recommended!
Not recommended!
Safety clearances
55
Minimum clearance under-
neath the cooktop
To ensure proper ventilation of the
cooktop, a minimum clearance is re-
quired between the appliance and an
oven, protective base, or drawer.
The minimum clearance from the bot-
tom of the cooktop to
– the top of the oven must be ⁹/
₁₆" (15mm).
– the top of the protective base must
be ⁹/₁₆" (15mm).
– bottom of the drawer must be
3" (75mm).
Protective base
Installation of a protective base under
the cooktop is allowed but not required.
A gap of 3" (75 mm) at the back is re-
quired for the power supply cord. For
better cooling of the cooktop, we rec-
ommend a gap of 2" (50 mm) at the
front.
Safety clearances
56
Safety distance from the wall covering
If a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained be-
tween the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures can dam-
age these materials.
If the covering is made of a combustible material (such as wood), the distance be-
tween the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be a minimum of
2" (50mm).
For coverings made of non-combustible materials (such as metal, marble, granite,
ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance between the countertop cut-out and
the wall covering must be 2" (50 mm) minus the thickness of the covering. For ex-
ample: thickness of wall covering 2" (50mm) - ⁹/₁₆" (15mm) = minimum safety dis-
tance 1³/₈" (35mm).

Instructions for installation
Seal between cooktop and counter
In case a disassembly is required,
the appliance must not be perma-
nently sealed into the countertop
when installed. The sealing strip un-
der the edge of the appliance pro-
vides a sufficient seal for the coun-
tertop.
If the appliance is sealed into posi-
tion, the countertop or appliance
could be damaged if it needs to be
removed for maintenance or service.
Tiled countertop
The grouting and shaded area under
the appliance frame must be flat and
even so that the frame will lie evenly
and the sealing strip under the edge of
the upper part of the appliance can pro-
vide an adequate seal against the coun-
tertop.

Installation
Preparing the counter
Create the counter cut-out as shown
in the cooktop diagram and in the de-
tailed drawing. Remember to main-
tain a minimum safety distance (see
"Safety clearances").
Seal any wooden counter surfaces
with a special varnish, silicone rub-
ber, or resin to help prevent swelling
from moisture. The sealant must be
temperature resistant.
Ensure that the sealant does not get
on the top surface of the countertop.
The sealing tape guarantees a non-
slipping seat of the cooktop in the cut-
out. The gap between the frame and
counter reduces with time.
Installing the cooktop
Feed the appliance power cord down
through the counter cut-out.
Center the cooktop in the cut-out.
Make sure that the seal under the
cooktop sits flush with the counter on
all sides. This is important to ensure
an effective seal.
NEVER seal the cooktop using addi-
tional sealing material such as sili-
con!
If during installation the seal around
the frame does not sit flush with the
countertop in the corners, the corner
radius, maximum 3/16" (4 mm), can be
carefully filed down to fit.
Connect the cooktop to the electrical
power supply.
Check that the cooktop works.
Flush-mounted (frameless) cooktops
63
Instructions for installation
Flush mounted cooktops are only suit-
able for installation in granite, marble,
tiled or solid wood counters. See "In-
stallation dimensions" to check which
cooktop can be fitted into a glass
counter. For all other counter materi-
als, consult the counter manufacturer
whether they can be used with a flush-
mounted cooktop.
The unobstructed width of the base
unit needs to be at least as wide as
the inner counter cut-out (see "Instal-
lation dimensions") so that the cook-
top is accessible from below and the
lower cabinet can be removed for
maintenance and servicing purposes.
If the cooktop is not accessible from
below after installation, the seal must
be removed in order for the cooktop to
be taken out.
The cooktop can be installed
– directly into a suitable cut-out in a
granite or marble counter.
– into a suitable cut-out in a tiled or
solid wood counter with a wooden
support frame. The frame must be
provided on site, and is not supplied
with the appliance.

Solid wood / Tile / Glass countertops:
Fix the wooden frame ¹/₄" (7mm)
under the top edge of the counter
(see the figure).
Installing the cooktop
Feed the appliance connection cable
down through the counter cut-out.
Center the cooktop in the cut-out.
Connect the cooktop to the electrical
power supply.
Check that the cooktop works.
Seal the remaining gap with a sili-
cone sealant that is heat-resistant to
at least 320°F (160°C).
For granite and marble tiles, only use
silicone sealant that is specially for-
mulated for granite and marble, and
observe the sealant manufacturer's
instructions.
