Warning and Safety instructions
8
Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re-
pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
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 sup-
ply 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 sys-
tem 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 cor-
rectly 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 con-
nection 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
9
This hob must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
Never open the casing of the hob.
Touching or tampering with electrical connections or components
and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
While the hob is under warranty, repairs should only be under-
taken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the war-
ranty is invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
The hob is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a
remote control system.
The hob must be connected to the electricity supply by a qualified
electrician (see “Installation – Electrical connection”).
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special mains connection cable by a qualified electrician (see
“Electrical connection” in the “Installation” chapter).
Warning and Safety instructions
10
The hob must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply
during installation, maintenance and repair work. Ensure that power
is not supplied to the appliance until after it has been installed or un-
til any maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
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 sup-
ply. Contact Miele Service.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
Correct use
The hob gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after be-
ing switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat
indicators go out.
Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the hob unat-
tended 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.
When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mis-
take, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of metal
items placed on the hob heating up. Other materials can melt or
catch fire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and
be difficult to dislodge. Do not use the hob as a resting place for
anything. Switch the hob off after use.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
You could burn yourself on the hot hob. Protect your hands with
heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to trans-
fer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food 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.
Hot items placed down on the touch display can damage the
electronic unit underneath. Never place hot cookware in the area of
the touch display.
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.
Acidic food such as vinegar, jams or lemon juice can cause dis-
colouration to the ceramic surface. Remove acidic residues immedi-
ately.
Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
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.
Because induction heating works so quickly, the base of the pan
could, under certain circumstances, heat up to the temperature at
which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time. Never leave the
hob unattended during use!
Never use the Booster function to heat oil or fat. Heat oil or fat for
a maximum of 1minute using the Manual1–9 function.
For people fitted with a heart pacemaker: Please note that the
area immediately surrounding the hob 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.
To prevent damage to items which are susceptible to electromag-
netic fields, e.g. credit cards, digital storage devices, pocket calcu-
lators, etc, do not leave them in the immediate vicinity of the hob.
Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the hob can become hot if
the appliance is used intensively for a long time.
The hob is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly un-
derneath the hob, ensure that there is sufficient space between the
drawer and its contents and the underside of the hob in order to en-
sure sufficient ventilation for the hob.
If a drawer is fitted directly underneath the hob, do not store any
pointed or small items, paper, serviettes, 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.
The induction generators could be damaged or even destroyed if
you use an induction adapter plate for cookware. Do not use induc-
tion adapter plates.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this hob.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
If the hob is built in over a pyrolytic oven, the hob should not be
used whilst the pyrolytic process is being carried out, as this could
trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the hob (see relev-
ant section).
Caring for the environment
15
Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur-
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances of-
ten contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, com-
pounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and
safety. These could be hazardous to hu-
man health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com-
munity waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic ap-
pliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also respons-
ible for deleting any personal data that
may be stored on the appliance being
disposed of. Please ensure that your
old appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

How it works
29
Induction coils are located under the
ceramic surface. These coils create a
magnetic field that reacts directly with
the base of the cookware and heats it
up. The ceramic surface itself is heated
up indirectly by the heat given off by the
cookware.
The position, size and shape of the
cookware are recognised automatically
by the induction hob.
An induction cooking zone only works
when cookware with a magnetic base is
placed on it (see “Cookware”).
Risk of burning due to hot items.
When the appliance is switched on
either deliberately or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present,
there is the risk of metal items placed
on the hob heating up.
Do not use the appliance as a resting
place for anything.
After use, switch the hob off with
the sensor control.
Cooking areas

The hob has 3 cooking areas. The entire
hob surface, including all cooking
areas, can be divided into individual
cooking zones.
You can use a maximum of 5 items of
cookware at the same time: 2 items on
the left, 2 items on the right and 1 item
on the central cooking area.
If 2 items of cookware are used on the
left or right cooking areas, a display for
each item is shown on the touch dis-
play.
If necessary, cookware can cover sev-
eral cooking areas at the same time.
For more information on cooking areas
and combination options, see “Opera-
tion – Positioning cookware”.
How it works
30
Noises
The following noises can occur in the
cookware, depending on what it is
made of and how it has been construc-
ted:
Buzzing on the higher power levels.
This will decrease or cease altogether
when the power level is reduced.
If the cookware is made of layers of dif-
ferent materials (e.g. in a sandwiched
base), it might emit a crackling sound.
You might hear a clicking sound from
the electronic switches, especially at
lower power levels.
A whirring sound, when the cooling fan
comes on. This switches on to protect
the electronic module when the hob is
being used intensively. The fan may
continue to run after the appliance has
been switched off.
How it works
31
Power Management
The hob has a maximum total permitted
power consumption which cannot be
exceeded for safety reasons.
If you are using 2 items of cookware on
the left or right cooking area at the
same time, the power level will be regu-
lated so that the total power output is
not exceeded.
Example:
if power level9 is selected for the front
left cookware, the maximum available
power output available for the rear left
cookware will be power level7.
A total power output of10,800W is set
at the factory. The total power output
can be reduced to 7200W (see “Set-
tings – Settings overview”).
Reducing the total power output to
7200W has the following effect:
- A high power level cannot be selec-
ted for very large cookware.
- If you are using 2 items of cookware
on the left or right cooking area at the
same time, only the Manual1–9 func-
tion can be used.
Pans
32
Suitable pans
- stainless steel pans with a magnetic
base
- enamelled steel pans
- cast iron pans
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). The base of the pan
must be able to distribute the heat
evenly. A sandwich base made of stain-
less steel is particularly suitable.
The pan base material and the positions
of the pans on the hob affect the power
of the induction coils. This can affect
the cooking behaviour.
Unsuitable pans.
- stainless steel pans without a mag-
netic base
- aluminium or copper pans
- glass, ceramic or earthenware pots
and pans
Testing pans
To test whether a pan is induction-com-
patible, hold a magnet to the base of
the pan. If the magnet sticks, the pan is
generally suitable.
No cookware/unsuitable cook-
ware display
--- flashes on the touch display if:
- A cooking zone has been switched
on without cookware in place, or if
the cookware is unsuitable (non-
magnetic base).
- The diameter of the base of the cook-
ware is too small.
- The cookware is taken off the cook-
ing zone when it is switched on.
- The cookware is not positioned cor-
rectly.
If suitable cookware is placed on the
cooking area within 1minute or the
cookware is repositioned, --- will go
out and you can continue as normal.
If no cookware or an unsuitable cook-
ware is placed on the cooking zone, the
cooking zone will switch off automatic-
ally after 1minute.

Tips
- Use only cookware with smooth
bases. Rough bases can scratch the
ceramic glass.
- Always lift 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 hob.
These scratches are normal signs of
use and are not grounds for making a
complaint.
- Please note that the maximum dia-
meter quoted by manufacturers often
refers to the diameter of the top rim
of the cookware. The diameter of the
base (generally smaller) is more im-
portant.
- Where possible, use cookware with
vertically straight sides. If item of
cookware has angular sides, induc-
tion also acts on the sides of the item
of cookware. The sides of the item of
cookware may discolour or the coat-
ing may peel off.
Tips on saving energy
34
- Use a lid whenever possible to min-
imise heat loss.
- Select a smaller pan when cooking
small quantities. A smaller pan uses
less energy than a larger pan with
very little in it.
- Cook with as little water as possible.
- Once food has come to the boil or
the oil in the pan is hot enough for
frying, reduce the heat to a lower set-
ting.
- Use a pressure cooker to reduce
cooking times.
Setting ranges

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 “Settings”).

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 cookware. For this reason, it is possible that the
power levels will need to be adjusted slightly to suit your cookware. As you use the hob,
you will get to know which settings suit your cookware best. When using new cookware
that you are not familiar with, set the power to one level below the one specified.
Operation

Cleaning and care
60
Risk of burns due to hot sur-
faces.
The ceramic surface will be hot after
use.
Switch the hob off.
Allow the ceramic surface to cool
down before cleaning the hob.
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 hob.
All surfaces can discolour or alter 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, al-
kalines, 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
61
Cleaning the ceramic surface
Risk of damage by pointed ob-
jects.
The seal between the hob and the
worktop could suffer damage.
The seal between the ceramic sur-
face and the frame could suffer dam-
age.
Do not use pointed objects for clean-
ing.
Not all soiling and residues can be
removed using a solution of wash-
ing-up liquid. An invisible film can
develop that can lead to discoloura-
tion of the glass ceramic surface.
This discolouration cannot be re-
moved.
Clean the ceramic surface regularly
with a proprietary ceramic glass
cleaning agent.
Remove any coarse soiling with a
damp cloth and more stubborn soil-
ing with a scraper suitable for use on
glass.
Then clean the ceramic glass surface
with the Miele ceramic and stainless
steel hob cleaner (see “Optional ac-
cessories”) 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 re-
moved.
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.
Danger of burning due to hot
surfaces.
The ceramic surface is hot during
use.
Wear oven gloves when removing
residues of sugar, plastic or alu-
minium foil from a hot ceramic sur-
face with a scraper suitable for use
on glass.
Should any sugar, plastic or alu-
minium foil spill or fall onto the hot
ceramic surface while it is in use,
switch off the hob.
Then carefully scrape off these
residues immediately whilst they are
still hot, using a scraper suitable for
use on glass.
Afterwards, clean the ceramic surface
in its cooled state, as described
above.

In comparable cooking
and frying processes
there are slight differ-
ences in cooking dura-
tions and browning.
This is not a fault.
The pan base material and the positions of the pans
on the hob affect the power of the induction coils.
This in turn affects the cooking behaviour.
Problem solving guide
66
General problems or technical faults
Problem Cause and remedy
The hob cannot be
switched on.
There is no power to the hob.
Check whether the 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 hob from the electricity supply for
approx. 1minute. To do this:
– trip the relevant fuse or screw the fuse out com-
pletely, or
– switch off the residual current protection device
If the appliance will still not turn on after resetting
the trip switch in the fuse box or the residual cur-
rent current device, contact a qualified electrician
or Miele Service.
The cooking area does
not heat up.
The cooking area is still hot from a previous cooking
process. It will heat up once the cooking area has
cooled down sufficiently.
A smell and vapours are
given off when the new
appliance is being used.
The metal components have a protective coating.
When the appliance is used for the first time, this
causes a smell and possibly also vapour. The mater-
ial from which the induction coils are made also gives
off a smell in the first few hours of operation. With
each subsequent use, the odour is reduced until it
disappears completely. The smell and any vapours
given off do not indicate a faulty connection or appli-
ance and they are not hazardous to health.
An operating noise can
be heard after the appli-
ance has been switched
off.
The cooling fan runs until the hob has cooled down
and then switches off automatically.

Seal between the hob and the work-
top
Damage caused by incorrect in-
stallation.
Using sealant under the hob could
result in damage to the hob and the
worktop if the hob ever needs to be
removed for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the hob
and the worktop.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the hob provides a sufficient seal for
the worktop.
Tiled worktops
Grout lines and the hatched area un-
derneath the hob frame must be
smooth and even. If they are not the
hob will not sit flush with the worktop
and the sealing strip underneath the
hob will not provide a good seal
between the hob and the worktop.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the hob for service pur-
poses may damage the sealing strip
underneath the edge of the hob.
Always replace the sealing strip be-
fore reinstalling the hob.

Surface-mounted installation
Create the worktop cut-out. Remem-
ber to maintain the minimum safety
distances (see “Installation – Safety
distances”).
Seal any cut surfaces on wooden
worktops with a special varnish, sil-
icone 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.
Stick the supplied sealing strip under
the edge of the hob. Do not apply the
sealing strip under tension.
Feed the mains connection cable
down through the cut-out in the hob.
Place the hob centrally in the cut-out.
When doing this, make sure that the
seal of the appliance sits flush with
the worktop on all sides. This is im-
portant to ensure an effective seal all
round.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone) on the hob.
If the seal does not sit flush with the
worktop in the corners, the corner ra-
dius (≤R4) can be carefully cut to fit
using a jigsaw.
Connect the hob to the power supply.
Check that the hob works.

Installation notes – flush-fit
A flush-fit hob is suitable only for in-
stallation in natural stone (granite,
marble), solid wood and tiled work-
tops. Certain models are also suitable
for building into glass worktops –
these are marked with an appropriate
note in “Installation – Installation di-
mensions – flush-fit”. When using a
worktop made from any other mater-
ial, please check first with the worktop
manufacturer that it is suitable for in-
stalling a flush-fit hob.
The internal width of the base unit un-
derneath the appliance must be at
least as wide as the inner worktop cut-
out (see “Installation – Installation di-
mensions – flush fit”), so that the hob
is easily accessible from underneath
after installation and the casing can be
removed for maintenance. If the un-
derside of the hob is not freely ac-
cessible 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 sup-
plied with the appliance.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the hob for service pur-
poses may damage the sealing strip
underneath the edge of the hob.
Always replace the sealing strip be-
fore reinstalling the hob.

Fix a wooden frame 6mm below the
top edge of the worktop (see build-
ing-in diagram for "Flush-fit installa-
tion").
Stick the supplied sealing strip under
the edge of the hob. Do not apply the
sealing strip under tension.
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 nat-
ural stone.
For natural stone worktops and nat-
ural stone tiles, only use silicone
sealant that is specially formulated
for natural stone. Follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions.
