Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
Damage to the hob can compromise your safety. Check the hob
for visible signs of damage. Do not use the hob if it is damaged.
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power
supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised
with the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems)
is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply
system complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an
equivalent standard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,
for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO
45001.
The electrical safety of this hob can only be guaranteed when
correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement
is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by
a qualified electrician.
To avoid the risk of damage to the hob, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the
mains electricity supply before connecting it to the mains.
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
Do not connect the hob to the mains electrical supply by a multi-
socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not
guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
For safety reasons, this hob may only be used after it has been
built in.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
This hob must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).

Danger of electric shock. Do not use the hob if it is faulty, or if the
ceramic surface is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Switch
it off immediately. Disconnect the hob from the mains electricity
supply. Contact Miele Service.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
If the hob is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the door
while the hob is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the
closed door. This can result in damage to the hob, the housing unit
and the floor. Do not close the door until the residual heat indicators
go out.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
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
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not
attempt to put the flames out with water.
Disconnect the hob from the mains and use a suitable fire blanket,
saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used. It should
be continually monitored whilst boiling and flash frying.
Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do
not flambé under a cooker 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 hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
Do not heat an empty pan.
Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the hob, as pressure can build up in the container, causing it to
explode.
Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective
foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the hob is
switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of
any metal items left on the hob heating up, with the danger of
burning. Depending on the material, other items left on the hob could
also melt or catch fire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic
surface and be difficult to dislodge. Do not use the appliance as a
resting place. Switch the cooking zones off after use.
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
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food blender,
near the hob, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot
come into contact with the hot hob. The insulation on the cable
could become damaged.
Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can
cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that the
ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.
Even a light object can cause damage in certain circumstances.
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
Placing hot pans on the sensors and indicators could damage the
electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the sensors or
indicators.
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium
foil to get onto the hob when it is hot, as they can damage the
ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, switch off
the appliance and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium
residues whilst still hot, using a shielded scraper blade suitable for
use on glass. Wear oven gloves when doing this. Allow the ceramic
surface to cool down and then clean it with a suitable ceramic hob
cleaning agent.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used.
Only use pots and pans with smooth bases. Rough bases will
scratch the ceramic glass.
Lift pans into position on the hob. Sliding them into place can
cause scuffs and scratches.
Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers.
The hob frame or hob edges (on hobs with bevelled edges) and
the controls can become hot due to the influence of the following
factors: operating duration, high power level(s), large pans and the
number of cooking zones being used.
Pots and pans made of aluminium or with an aluminium base can
leave a metallic sheen on the hob. This can be removed with the
ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner (see “Cleaning and care”).
If spills remain on the hob for any length of time they can burn on
and in certain circumstances become impossible to remove.
Remove any soiling as quickly as possible and ensure that pan
bases are clean, dry and free of grease.
Do not use the ceramic surface for preparing food on. Always use
suitable pots and pans.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this hob.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the
discontinuation of your hob.
Caring for the environment
14
Disposing of the packaging
material
The packaging material is used for
handling and protects the appliance
from transport damage. The packaging
material used is selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material
reduces the use of raw materials. Use
material-specific collection points for
valuable materials and take advantage
of return options. Your Miele dealer will
take the packaging material away.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for their correct
functioning and safety. These could be
hazardous to human health and to the
environment if disposed of with
household waste or if handled
incorrectly. Please do not, therefore,
dispose of your old appliance with
household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances in
your local community, with your dealer
or with Miele, free of charge. By law,
you are solely responsible for deleting
any personal data from the old
appliance prior to disposal. You are
legally obliged to remove any old
batteries which are not securely
enclosed by the appliance and to
remove any lamps without destroying
them, where this is possible. These
must be taken to a suitable collection
point where they can be handed in free
of charge. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored for disposal.

Before using for the first time
24
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.
Remove any protective wrapping and
stickers.
Cleaning the hob for the first
time
Before using for the first time, clean
the hob with a damp cloth only and
then wipe dry.
Switching on the hob for the
first time
The metal components have a
protective coating. When the hob is
used for the first time, this causes a
smell and possibly also vapour.
The smell and any vapours given off do
not indicate a faulty connection or
appliance and they are not hazardous
to health.
How it works
25
Single circle cooking zones have one
heating element, whilst double circle
cooking zones and extended zones
have two. Depending on the model, the
heating elements may be separated by
an insulating ring.
Each cooking zone has overheating
protection (a temperature limiter), which
stops the ceramic surface from
becoming too hot (see “Safety features
– Overheating protection”).
When a power level is selected, heating
is activated and the glowing heater
element can be seen through the
ceramic surface. The heater rating of
the cooking zones depends on the
power level selected, and is
electronically regulated. The “timing” of
the cooking zone is controlled by
switching the element on and off.

Pans
26
The best pots and pans are metal
ones with a thick base which is very
slightly concave when cold. When
heated, the base flattens to rest evenly
on the hob, optimising the conduction
of the heat.
cold hot
Glass, ceramic, or stoneware is less
suitable. These materials do not
conduct the heat well.
Cutlery made of synthetic material, and
aluminum foil are not suitable. These
melt at high temperatures.
Pots and pans made of aluminium or
with an aluminium base can leave a
metallic sheen on the hob. This can be
removed with the ceramic and stainless
steel hob cleaner (see “Cleaning and
care”).
Please be aware that the properties of
the pan base can affect the evenness
with which the food heats up (e.g. when
making pancakes).
- To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with a suitable
base diameter (see chapter “Cooking
zones”).
- Use only pots and pans with smooth
bases. Rough bases can scratch the
ceramic glass.
- Always lift the pans to move them.
This will help prevent scratching.
- Please note that the maximum
diameter quoted by manufacturers
often refers to the diameter of the top
rim of the pot or pan. The diameter of
the base (generally smaller) is more
important.
Tips on saving energy
27
- Check that the diameter of the pan
base is wide enough for the cooking
zone so that heat is not lost
unnecessarily.
- Use a pan lid whenever possible to
minimize heat loss.
- Select a smaller pan when cooking
small quantities. A small pan on a
small cooking zone uses less energy
than a large, partially filled pan on a
large cooking zone.
- 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
setting.
- When cooking for a long time, switch
the cooking zone off about 5 to
10minutes before the end of the
cooking time. In this way, use is
made of the residual heat.
- Use a pressure cooker to reduce
cooking times.
Setting range
28
The hob is programmed with 9power levels at the factory. If you wish to fine-tune
a setting, you can extend the power level range to 17power levels (see
“Programming”).

Operation
29
Using the appliance
This ceramic hob is equipped with
electronic sensor controls which react
to finger contact. For safety reasons, in
order to switch the appliance on, the
On/Off sensor needs to be touched
for a little longer than the other sensors.
Each time a sensor control is activated,
an audible signal sounds.
When the hob is switched off, only the
printed sensor control symbols and
numbers on the keybank are visible.
When the hob is switched on, all the
other sensors light up as well. More
sensors light up when the hob is
switched on.
In order to set or alter a power level, the
cooking zones must be “active”. To
activate a cooking zone, touch the
sensor for selecting the relevant
cooking zone. The relevant cooking
zone indicator will begin to flash when

Exception: If only one of the cooking
zones is in operation, you can alter the
power setting without activating the
cooking zone.
Malfunction 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 appliance off
automatically (see “Safety features –
Safety switch-off”). Placing hot
cookware on the sensor controls/
indicators can damage the electronic
unit underneath.
Keep the sensor controls and
indicators clean.

Overheating protection
Each cooking zone is equipped with
overheating protection (internal
temperature limiter). This switches off
the cooking zone heating element
automatically before it overheats. As
soon as the cooking zone temperature
has cooled sufficiently, heating is
switched on again automatically.
The overheating protection may be
activated under the following
circumstances:
- No cookware is present on the
activated cooking zone.
- The cookware being heated is empty.
- The base of the cookware is not
sitting evenly on the cooking zone.
- The cookware is not conducting heat
properly.
You can tell that the overheating
protection has activated because the
heating element switches on and off
even when the highest power level is
selected.

Cleaning and care
46
Risk of burning due to hot
cooking zones.
The cooking zones will be hot after
use.
Switch the hob off.
Allow the cooking zones to cool
down before cleaning the hob.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance could reach live electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the hob.
All surfaces could be discoloured or
damaged if unsuitable cleaning
agents are used. All surfaces are
susceptible to scratching.
Remove all cleaning agent residues
immediately.
Never use abrasive sponges or
cleaning agents.
Allow the hob to cool down before
cleaning.
Clean the hob after every use.
Dry the hob thoroughly after cleaning
with water to avoid limescale residue.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the
appliance, do not use:
- washing-up liquid
- cleaning agents containing soda,
alkalines, ammonia, acids or
chlorides
- cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
- stain and rust removers
- abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
- solvent-based cleaning agents
- dishwasher cleaner
- oven sprays
- glass cleaning agents
- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g. pot scourers) or sponges which
have been previously used and still
contain abrasive cleaning agents
- melamine eraser blocks
Cleaning and care
47
Cleaning the ceramic surface
Risk of damage by pointed
objects.
The seal between the hob and the
worktop could suffer damage.
The seal between the ceramic
surface and the frame could suffer
damage.
Do not use pointed objects for
cleaning.
Not all soiling and residues can be
removed using a solution of
washing-up liquid. An invisible film
can develop that can lead to
discolouration of the glass ceramic
surface. This discolouration cannot
be removed.
Clean the ceramic surface regularly
with a proprietary ceramic glass
cleaning agent.
Remove any coarse soiling with a
damp cloth and more stubborn
soiling with a shielded scraper blade
suitable for use on glass.
Then clean the ceramic glass surface
with the Miele ceramic and stainless
steel hob cleaner (see “optional
accessories”) or with a proprietary
ceramic glass cleaner applied with
kitchen paper or a clean cloth. Do not
apply the cleaner while the hob is still
hot, as this can result in marking.
Please follow the cleaning agent
manufacturer's instructions.
Finally wipe the glass ceramic surface
with a damp cloth and polish with a
soft, dry cloth.
Residues can burn onto the hob the
next time it is used and cause damage
to the glass ceramic surface. Ensure
that all cleaning agent residues are
removed.
Spots caused by limescale, water
and aluminium residues (spots with a
metallic appearance) can be removed
using Miele's ceramic and stainless
steel hob cleaner.
Risk of burning due to hot
cooking zones.
The cooking zones are hot during
use.
Wear oven gloves when removing
residues of sugar, plastic or
aluminium foil from a hot ceramic
surface with a shielded scraper
blade.
Should any sugar, plastic or
aluminium foil spill or fall onto the
hot ceramic surface while it is in use,
switch off the cooking zone.
Then carefully scrape off these
residues immediately whilst they are
still hot, using a scraper blade
suitable for use on glass.
Afterwards, clean the ceramic surface
in its cooled state, as described
above.

Problem solving guide
49
Unexpected behaviour
Problem Cause and remedy
The heating element for
one of the cooking
zones switches on and
off.
This “timing” of the element is normal. It is caused
by the electronic temperature control (see “How the
cooking zones work”).
If the heating switches on and off at the highest
power level, the overheating protection has been
triggered (see “Overheating protection).
A cooking zone
switches off automatic-
ally.
It has been operated for too long.
You can use the cooking zone again by switching
it back on (see “Safety switch-off”).
One or more residual
heat indicators are
flashing.
There was an interruption to the power supply during
operation or when residual heat was present.
Problem solving guide
50
Unsatisfactory results
Problem Cause and remedy
The food in the pan
does not heat up when
the Auto heat-up func-
tion is switched on.
A large amount of food is being heated up.
Start cooking at the highest power level and then
turn down to a lower one manually later on.
The pan is not conducting heat properly.
Use a different pot or pan which conducts heat
properly.
The food in the pan is
barely heating up or is
not heating up at all.
The pan is not conducting heat properly.
Use a different pot or pan which conducts heat

The outer ring of a double or extended cooking zone
is not switched on.
Switch the outer ring on.
Problem solving guide
51
General problems or technical faults
Problem Cause and remedy
The hob or cooking
zones will not switch
on.
There is no power to the hob.
Check whether the mains fuse 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 mains
electricity supply for approx. 1 minute by
– tripping the relevant mains fuse or screwing the
fuse out completely, or
– switching off at the residual current device.
If, after resetting the trip switch in the mains fuse
box or the residual current current device, the
appliance will still not turn on, contact a qualified
electrician or Miele Service.
A smell and vapours are
given off when the new
hob is being used.
The metal components have a protective coating.
When the hob is used for the first time, this causes a
smell and possibly also vapour. The smell and any
vapours given off do not indicate a faulty connection
or appliance and they are not hazardous to health.

suitable for building into glass
worktops – these are marked with an
appropriate note in “Installation –
Installation dimensions – flush-fit”.
When using a worktop made from any
other material, please check first with
the worktop manufacturer that it is
suitable for installing a flush-fit hob.
The internal width of the base unit
underneath the appliance must be at
least as wide as the inner worktop cut-
out (see “Installation – Installation
dimensions – flush fit”), so that the
hob is easily accessible from
underneath after installation and the
casing can be removed for
maintenance. If the underside of the
hob is not freely accessible after
installation, any sealant used must be
removed to enable the hob to be lifted
out of the cut-out should this be
necessary.
Natural stone worktops
The hob is set directly in the cut-out.
Solid wood worktops, tiled worktops,
glass worktops
The hob is secured inside the cut-out
with wooden battens. The battens must
be provided on site, and are not
supplied with the appliance.

Surface-mounted installation
Preparing the worktop
Create the worktop cut-out.
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Installation –
Safety distances”).
Seal any cut surfaces on wooden
worktops with a special varnish,
silicone sealant or resin to prevent the
wood from swelling as a result of
moisture ingress. The sealant must
be heat-resistant.
Make sure that the sealant does not
come into contact with the top of the
worktop.
The seal under the appliance ensures
that the hob will sit securely in the cut-
out without slipping. Any gap between
the appliance frame and worktop will
become smaller over time.
Securing the spring clamps – wooden
worktops
The exact positioning of the spring
clamps is shown in the individual hob
diagrams.
Position the spring clamps on the
top edge of the cut-out in the
positions shown in the hob
illustration.
Fasten the spring clamps using the
3.5x25mm wood screws supplied
with the appliance.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
66
Securing the spring clamps – natural
stone worktops
You will need heavy-duty double-sided
adhesive tape (not included with the
hob) to fasten the spring clamps.
The exact positioning of the spring
clamps is shown in the individual hob
diagrams.
a
Attach the adhesive tape along the
top edge of the cut-out in the
positions shown in the hob
illustration.
Position the spring clamps on the top
edge of the cut-out and press them
firmly into place.
Coat the side edges and the lower
edge of the spring clamps with
silicone.
Install the hob
Feed the mains connection cable for
the hob down through the worktop
cut-out.
Position the hob in the worktop cut-
out.
Using both hands, press down evenly
on the sides of the hob until it clicks
into position. When doing this make
sure that the seal of the appliance sits
flush with the worktop on all sides.
This is important to ensure an
effective seal all round.
If the seal does not meet the worktop
correctly on the corners, the corner
radius (≤R4) can be carefully scribed
to suit.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone) on the hob.
Connect the hob to the mains.
Check that the hob works.
The hob can only be removed using a
special tool.

Flush-fit installation
Create the worktop cut-out.
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Installation –
Safety distances”).
Solid wood, tiled and glass worktops:
Fix a wooden frame 7mm below the
top edge of the worktop (see the
diagram in “Installation” – “Installation
dimensions – Flush-mounted”).
Feed the mains connection cable for
the hob down through the worktop
cut-out.
Centre the hob in the cut-out.
The gap between the ceramic glass
surface and the worktop must be at
least 2mm wide. This is required so
that the hob can be sealed.
Connect the hob to the power supply.
Check that the hob works.
Seal the gap between the hob and
worktop with a silicone sealant that is
heat-resistant to at least 160°C.
Damage from unsuitable sealant.
Unsuitable sealant can damage
natural stone.
For natural stone worktops and
natural stone tiles, only use silicone
sealant that is specially formulated
for natural stone. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
