This cooktop complies with all relevant local and national safety
requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal in-
jury and material damage.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before
using the cooktop. They contain important information on safety,
installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal in-
jury and damage to the cooktop.
When installing the cooktop, Miele expressly and strongly advises
that you read and follow the instructions under “Installation”, as
well as in the “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5
Appropriate use
This cooktop is intended for domestic use and use in other similar
environments.
This cooktop is not intended for outdoor use.
The cooktop is intended for domestic use only to prepare food
and keep it warm. Any other use may be dangerous.
Persons (including children) who lack physical, sensory or mental
abilities, or experience with the appliance should not use it without
supervision or instruction by a responsible person.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6
Safety with children
As with any other appliance, children must be supervised.
Do not leave children unattended: Children should not be alone or
unsupervised in the area where the appliance is installed. Do not al-
low them to sit or stand on the appliance.
Be sure to supervise any children in the vicinity of the cooktop,
and do not let them play with it.
The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time
after being turned off. Keep children away from the appliance until it
has cooled down and is no longer a burn hazard.
Danger of burning. Do not store anything which might arouse a
child’s interest in storage areas above or behind the cooktop. Other-
wise they could be tempted to climb onto the appliance.
Risk of burning or scalding. Turn pot and pan handles inward, so
children cannot pull them down and be burned.
Danger of suffocation. While playing, children may become entan-
gled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over
their head, presenting the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging mate-
rial away from children.
Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot turn on the
appliance inadvertently. Use the safety lock when the hob is in use
to prevent children from altering the settings selected.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
Technical safety
Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and re-
pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.
Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so.
Service work should only be performed by a qualified technician.
Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the
cooktop for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is
damaged.
Reliable and safe operation of the cooktop can only be guaran-
teed if it is connected to the public power supply.
The cooktop must not be connected to the inverter of an autono-
mous power supply, e.g., a solar power system. When the cooktop
is switched on, power surges could result in a safety shut-off. This
could damage the electronic.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
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.
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 safety of the appliance be assured as
intended by the manufacturer.
The appliance is not intended for use with an external timer switch
or a remote control system.
The cooktop must be connected to the electricity supply by a
qualified electrician (see “Installation – Electrical connection”).
If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a quali-
fied service technician (see “Installation–Electrical connection”).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
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.
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.
Danger of electric shock. Do not use the cooktop if it is faulty, or if
the ceramic surface is cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way.
Switch it off immediately. Disconnect the cooktop from the electrical
power supply. Contact Miele Service.
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 residual heat indi-
cators go out.
Do not open the cooktop housing under any circumstances.
Disconnect the cooktop from the electrical power supply before
carrying out any maintenance or repair work.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
Correct 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.
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. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance.
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 cooktop is still hot or if turned
on inadvertently. Never cover the cooktop with a board, cloth or pro-
tective 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 cooking
zones 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 cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage the
ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off the
appliance immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or alu-
minum residues while still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Use
pot holders. Allow the ceramic surface to cool down before cleaning
with a suitable 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 surface. 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
cooking zones while the cooking zones are in use.
Because induction heating works so quickly, the temperature can
quickly reach the ignition point of oils and fats. Never leave the
cooktop unattended when it is turned on.
Do not heat oils and fats for longer than 1minute, 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.
The cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan. If a drawer is located
directly underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient space
between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the cook-
top in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the cooktop.
If a drawer is located directly underneath the cooktop, do not
store any pointed or small items, paper, napkins, etc. in the drawer.
They could get in through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the
casing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.
Never use two pieces of cookware on a standard cooking zone,
extended zone, or PowerFlex area at the same time.
If the cookware only partially covers a cooking zone, the handle
could become very hot.
Always place cookware in the middle of the cooking zone.
Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if they
are used to wipe spilled food off a hot cooktop. Some cleansers can
emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be careful
when cleaning the cooktop.
If the cooktop is damaged, cleansers or spilled food can penetrate
the glass surface and cause a short-circuit. Never cook on a dam-
aged cooktop. Contact an electrician immediately.
If an induction adapter plate is used for cookware, the induction
generators may be damaged or even destroyed. Do not use induc-
tion adapter plates.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
Cleaning and maintenance
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).
Miele will guarantee to supply functional parts for a minimum of
10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of your
cooktop.
Caring for the environment
15
Disposal of the packing mate-
rial
The cardboard box and packing materi-
als protect the appliance during ship-
ping. They have been designed to be
biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children. Dan-
ger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which were essential
for the proper functioning and safe use
of the equipment. Handling these mate-
rials improperly by disposing of them in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment. There-
fore, please do not dispose of your old
appliance with regular household waste
and follow local regulations on proper
disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please en-
sure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal. Ob-
serve safety requirements for appli-
ances that may tip over or pose an en-
trapment hazard.

Before first use
23
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
24
How it works
An induction coil is located under each
cooking zone. The coil creates a mag-
netic field that reacts directly with 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 piece of cookware with a mag-
netic base is placed on it (see “Cook-
ware”). The induction cooking zone au-
tomatically recognizes the size of the
cookware.
Risk of burning due to hot items.
When the cooktop is switched on ei-
ther deliberately or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present,
there is the risk of metal items placed
on the cooktop heating up.
Do not store items on the cooktop.
After use, switch the cooktop off with
the sensor control.
Cookware
Suitable cookware
- Stainless steel with a magnetic base
- Enameled steel
- Cast iron
The composition of the pan bottom can
affect the evenness of the cooking re-
sults (e.g., when making pancakes). The
base of the pan must be able to distrib-
ute the heat evenly. A sandwich base
made of stainless steel is particularly
suitable.
Unsuitable cookware
- Stainless steel without a magnetic
base
- Aluminum or copper
- Glass, ceramics, earthenware,
stoneware
Testing cookware
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 cookware is gener-
ally suitable.
Induction
25
No cookware/unsuitable cookware
display
The set power level flashes in the nu-
merical keybank for the cooking zone 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 3minutes, the
flashing power level will go out and you
can continue as usual.
If no cookware or if unsuitable cook-
ware is used, the cooking zone will au-
tomatically turn off after 3minutes.
Tips
- To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose cookware with a suit-
able base diameter (see “Overview“,
“Cooking zone data”). If the cook-
ware is too small it will not be recog-
nized.
- Position the cookware as centrally as
possible on the relevant cooking
zone/cooking area.
- Use only pots and pans with smooth
bases. Rough bases can scratch the
ceramic glass.
- Always lift the cookware to move it.
This will help prevent scratching. If
any scratches do appear as a result
of cookware being pushed around,
this will not affect the function of the
cooktop. These scratches are normal
signs of use.
- Please note that the maximum diam-
eter quoted by manufacturers often
refers to the diameter of the top rim
of the pot or pan. The diameter of the
base (generally smaller) is more im-
portant.
- 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.
Induction
26
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 levels, it might
buzz. This will decrease or cease alto-
gether when the power level is reduced.
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 “Operation–Booster”)
are simultaneously in use and cookware
with bottoms made of different materi-
als (e.g.,sandwich bottoms) is placed
on them.
The electronics may produce a clicking
sound, especially at lower power levels.
You may 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.
Energy saving tips
27
- Use a lid whenever possible to mini-
mize heat loss.
- For small quantities, select a small
pan. A small pan on a small cooking
zone uses less energy than a large,
only partially filled pan on a large
cooking zone.
- 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
28
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
29
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 can occur due to
dirty and/or covered sensor controls.
If the sensor controls are dirty or
covered this could cause them to fail
to react, to activate a function, or
even to switch the cooktop off auto-
matically (see “Safety features–
Safety shut-off”). Placing hot cook-
ware on the sensor controls/indica-
tors can damage the electronic un-
derneath.
Keep the sensor controls and indica-
tors clean.
Do not place anything over the sen-
sor controls or indicators.
Do not place hot cookware over the
sensor controls or indicators.
Operation

ual heat indicator and the sensor but-
ton light up on the control scale after
deactivation.
The lines of the residual heat indicator
go out one after another as the cooking
zones cool down. The last bar and the
sensor button go out together.
The residual heat indicators will flash if
there is a power cut during use or
while residual heat is still present or if
you have opened the programming
function while residual heat is still
present.
Risk of burning or scalding due

Operation
33
Booster
The cooking zones are equipped with a
Booster or TwinBooster function (see
“Overview – Cooktop”).
When the Booster function is activated,
the power is boosted so that large
quantities can be heated up quickly,
e.g., when boiling water for cooking
pasta. The boost in power is active for a
maximum of 15minutes.
The Booster function can only be used
on two cooking zones at the same time.
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.
The cooking zones are connected in
pairs in order to provide sufficient
power for the Booster. While the
Booster function is in operation, some
of the power is taken away from the
linked cooking zone. This has one of
the following effects:
- Auto heat-up is deactivated.
- The power level is reduced.
- The linked cooking zone is switched
off.

Keeping warm
This function is for keeping food warm
which has just been cooked and is still
hot. It is not for reheating food that
has gone cold.
The maximum duration for keeping food
warm is 2hours.
- Only use cookware (pots/pans) for
keeping food warm. Cover the cook-
ware with a lid.
- Stir firm or viscous food (mashed
potatoes, stew) occasionally.
- Foods begin to lose their nutrients
during the cooking process and con-
tinue to do so while being kept warm.
The longer food is kept warm, the
greater the loss of nutrients. Try to
ensure that food is kept warm for as
short a time as possible.

The system lock and safety lock are
deactivated if there is a power out-
age.
Three-finger control is the default set-
ting. You can change the default to
one-finger control (see “Program-
ming”).
Your cooktop is equipped with a safety
lock to prevent the cooktop and the
cooking zones being turned on or any
settings being altered.
The system lock is activated when the
cooktop is turned off. When it is acti-
vated, the cooktop cannot be turned on
and the timer cannot be used. The
cooktop is programmed so that the sys-
tem lock must be activated manually. It

Safety shut-off
Excessive operating time
The safety shut-off mechanism is trig-
gered automatically if a cooking zone is
heated for an unusually long period of
time. This time depends on the power
level selected. If the time has been ex-
ceeded, the cooking zone turns off and
the residual-heat indicator appears. If
you turn the cooking zone off and on
again, it will be 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.
When you remove the objects or soil-
ing, goes out, the buzzer goes off,
and the cooktop is ready for operation
again.
Safety features
43
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
44
Risk of burning or scalding due
to hot cooking zones.
The cooking zones will be hot after
use.
Turn off the cooktop.
Allow the cooktop to cool down be-
fore cleaning.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaning ap-
pliance could reach live electrical
components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the cooktop.
All surfaces could be discolored or
damaged if unsuitable cleaning
agents are used. All surfaces are
susceptible to scratching.
Remove all cleaning agent residues
immediately.
Do not clean with any abrasive or
sharp pointed objects.
Clean the cooktop after every use.
Dry the cooktop thoroughly after ev-
ery cleaning to avoid limescale
residue.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the
appliance, do not use:
- liquid dish soap
- cleaning agents containing soda, al-
kalis, ammonia, acids, or chlorides
- cleaning agents containing limescale
remover
- stain or rust removers
- abrasive cleaning agents, such as
scouring powder, scouring liquid, or
pumice stones
- cleaning agents containing solvents
- dishwasher cleaning agents
- grill and oven sprays
- glass cleaners
- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g., pot scourers), or sponges which
have been previously used and still
contain abrasive cleaning agents
- eraser sponges
Cleaning and care
45
Cleaning the ceramic surface
Risk of damage caused by
pointed objects.
The seal between the cooktop and
the countertop could be damaged.
The seal between the ceramic sur-
face and the frame could be dam-
aged.
Do not use pointed objects for clean-
ing.
When cleaning with liquid dish soap,
not all contaminants and residues
are removed. An invisible film forms,
which causes discoloration of the ce-
ramic. This discoloration cannot be
removed.
Clean the ceramic surface regularly
with a suitable ceramic cooktop
cleaning agent.
First wipe down the surface with a
damp cloth to loosen soiling, then re-
move stubborn crusting with a glass
scraper.
Then clean the ceramic surface with
the Miele Ceramic and Stainless-
Steel Cooktop Cleaner (see “Optional
accessories – Cleaning and care
products”) or with a proprietary ce-
ramic cleaner applied with a paper
towel or a clean cloth. Do not put the
cleaner on a hot cooktop since this
may cause spotting. Please follow the
cleaning-agent manufacturer’s in-
structions.
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 ceramic surface. En-
sure that all cleaner residues are re-
moved.
Spots caused by limescale, water,
and aluminum residues (spots with a
metallic appearance) can be removed
using the Miele Ceramic and Stain-
less-Steel Cooktop Cleaner.
Risk of burning or scalding due
to hot cooking zones.
The cooking zones are hot during
use.
Wear pot holders and use a glass
scraper to remove sugar, plastic, or
aluminum foil residues from the hot
cooktop.
Should any sugar, plastic, or alu-
minum foil spill or fall onto a hot
cooking zones while it is in use, first
turn off the cooktop.
Then carefully scrape off these
residues immediately while they are
still hot, using a shielded scraper
blade.
Afterwards, clean the ceramic surface
in its cooled state, as described
above.

Frequently Asked Questions
49
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.
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 breaker has tripped. Contact a quali-
fied electrician or Miele Customer Service (for the
minimum fuse rating, see data plate).
There may be a technical fault.
Disconnect the cooktop from the electricity supply
for approx. 1 minute by
– tripping the relevant breaker or screwing the
fuse out completely, or
– switching off the residual current device.
If the cooktop will still not turn on after resetting
the breaker or the residual current device, contact
a qualified electrician or Miele Customer Service.
There is a strange smell
or vapors when the
cooktop is being used
for the first time.
The metal components have a protective coating.
When the cooktop is used for the first time, this
causes a smell and possibly also vapor. The material
from which the induction coils are made also gives
off a smell in the first few hours of operation. With
each subsequent use, the odors are reduced until
they disappear completely. The smell and any vapors
do not indicate a faulty connection or a defective ap-
pliance and are not harmful to your health.
Power levels 1 to 9

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION
Risk of damage caused by incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can damage the cooktop.
The cooktop must only be installed by a qualified specialist.
Risk of electric shock from voltage.
Incorrect connection to the power supply may result in an electric shock.
The cooktop must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified person
only.
Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the cooktop when installing cabinetry or a ventilation
hood above it.
Install the cabinetry and ventilation hood before installing the cooktop.
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 cabi-
nets. 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 deformed or the veneer detached. The wall
strips must be heat-resistant as well.
The cooktop must not be installed above refrigerators/freezers,
dishwashers, or washer/dryers.
This cooktop may only be installed 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 mechanical stress.
Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the following
pages.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
55
Safety distances
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" (760mm).
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 to the sides and
back of the cooktop
When 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 cabinetry (for instance, a high
cabinet) or a room wall:

Minimum clearance underneath 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.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
58
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 1⁷/₁₆” (35mm).

Seal between cooktop and counter-
top
Damage caused by incorrect in-
stallation.
Using sealant under the cooktop
could result in damage to the cook-
top and the countertop if the cook-
top ever needs to be removed for
servicing.
Do not use sealant between the
cooktop and the countertop.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the cooktop provides a sufficient seal
for the countertop.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the cooktop for service
purposes may damage the sealing
strip underneath the edge of the
cooktop.
Always replace the sealing strip be-
fore reinstalling the cooktop.
Tiled countertop
Grout lines and the shaded area un-
der the cooktop frame must be smooth
and even. If they are not, the cooktop
will not sit flush with the countertop and
the sealing strip underneath the cook-
top will not provide a good seal be-
tween the cooktop and the countertop.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*

Flush installation
Flush installation is only possible in
natural-stone (granite, marble), solid-
wood, and tiled countertops. Certain
cooktops are suitable for building into
glass countertops – these are labeled
accordingly. When using a countertop
made from any other material, please
check first with the countertop manu-
facturer that it is suitable for installing
a flush cooktop.
The internal width of the base unit un-
derneath the appliance must be at
least as wide as the inner countertop
cut-out (see “Installation – Installation
dimensions – Flush”), so that the
cooktop is easily accessible from un-
derneath after installation and the bot-
tom half of the casing can be removed
for maintenance. If the underside of
the cooktop is not freely accessible af-
ter installation, any sealant must be re-
moved to enable the cooktop to be
lifted out.
Natural-stone countertops
The cooktop is set directly in the cut-
out.
Solid-wood countertops, tiled coun-
tertops, glass countertops
The cooktop is secured inside the cut-
out with wooden battens. The frame
must be provided on site and is not
supplied with the appliance.

Proud installation
Create the countertop cut-out. Re-
member to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Installation –
Safety distances”).
Seal any cut surfaces on wooden
countertops with a special varnish,
silicone rubber, or resin to prevent the
wood from swelling as a result of
moisture. The sealant must be tem-
perature-resistant.
Ensure that the sealant does not get
on the top surface of the countertop.
Attach the sealing strip provided un-
derneath the edge of the cooktop. Do
not apply the sealing strip under ten-
sion.
Feed the cooktop power cord down
through the cut-out in the countertop.
Place the cooktop centrally in the
cut-out. When doing this make sure
that the seal of the appliance sits
flush with the countertop on all sides.
This is important to ensure an effec-
tive seal all round.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g.,silicone) on the cooktop.
If the seal does not sit flush with the
countertop in the corners, the corner
radius (≤R4) can be carefully cut to fit
using a jigsaw.
Connect the cooktop to the electrical
power supply.
Check that the cooktop works.
