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 cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the
appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is
damaged.
Reliable and safe operation of this cooktop can only be assured if
it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It
is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and
tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring
system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)
matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in
order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance.
Do not connect the cooktop to the mains electricity 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 cooktop may only be used after it has
been built in.
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Never open the casing of the cooktop.

up behind the closed door. This can result in damage to the cooktop,
the housing unit and the floor. Do not close the door until the
residual heat indicators have gone out.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
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.
DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
Correct use
The cooktop 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.
Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects left near the appliance could catch
fire.
Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite, do not
attempt to put the flames out with water.
Switch off the cooktop and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid,
damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking
process has to be supervised continuously.
Flames could set the grease filters of a rangehood on fire. Do not
flambé under a rangehood.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the cooktop. 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 cooktop, as pressure can build up in the containers, causing
them to explode.
Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth or
protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the
cooktop 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 cooktop heating up, with the danger of
burning. Depending on the material, other items left on the cooktop
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
and do not rely on the pan detector.
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
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 mixer,
near the cooktop, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance
cannot come into contact with the hot cooktop. 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium
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, 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
cooktop cleaning agent.
Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do
not leave the cooktop 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 cooktop. 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 on the cooktop.
The cooktop frame or cooktop edges (on cooktops 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.
Cookware that is made of aluminium or has an aluminium base
can leave behind shiny metallic spots. These can be removed with
the ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner (see “Cleaning and
care”).
If spills remain on the cooktop 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. Always use
suitable pots and pans.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
Caring for the environment
14
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human 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
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

Before using for the first time
21
Please stick the extra data plate for
the appliance supplied with this
documentation in the space provided
in the “Service” section of this
booklet. Alternatively, the additional
label can be stuck near the appliance
if the appliance markings are not
visible after installation.
Remove any protective wrapping and
stickers.
Cleaning the cooktop for the
first time
Before using for the first time, clean
the cooktop with a damp cloth only
and then wipe dry.
Switching on the cooktop for
the first time
The metal components have a
protective coating which when heated
for the first time will give off a slight
smell and possibly some vapours.
The smell and any vapours given off do
not indicate a faulty connection or
appliance and they are not hazardous
to health.
How the cooking zones work
22
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, the
heating switches on and the element
can be seen through the ceramic
surface. The temperature of the cooking
zones depends on the power level
selected and is electronically regulated.
This controls the “timing” of a cooking
zone, switching the element on and off.

Pans
23
The most suitable cookware is metal
pots and pans with thick bases that,
when cold, bulge inwards slightly. On
warming, the base flattens and sits level
on the cooking zone. This optimises the
conduction of heat.
Cold Hot
Glass, ceramic, or stoneware is less
suitable. These materials do not
conduct the heat well.
Cookware made of synthetic material or
aluminium is not suitable. These melt
at high temperatures.
Cookware that is made of aluminium or
has an aluminium base can leave
behind shiny metallic spots. These can
be removed with the ceramic and
stainless steel cooktop 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
24
– 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
minimise 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 10
minutes 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.
Power level range
25
The cooktop 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
26
Operating principles
This ceramic cooktop is equipped with
electronic sensor controls which react
to finger contact. For safety reasons,
when switching the appliance on, the
On/Off sensor needs to be touched
for a little longer than the other sensors.
Each time you touch a sensor, an
acoustic signal sounds.
When the cooktop is switched off, only
the printed sensor control symbols and
numbers on the keybank for setting the
power levels are visible. More sensor
controls light up when the cooktop 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
indicator of the relevant cooking zone.
The relevant cooking zone indicator will
begin to flash when touched. While the
indicator is flashing, you can set or
adjust the power level or the duration.
Exception: If only one of the cooking
zones is in operation, you can alter the
power level 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
inadvertently or even to switch the
appliance off automatically (see
“Safety switch-off”). Placing hot
pans on the sensor controls/
indicators can damage the electronic
unit underneath.
Keep the sensor controls and
indicators clean.
Do not place anything over the
sensor control or indicators.

Safety features
36
System lock / Safety lock
Your cooktop is equipped with a system
lock and a safety lock to prevent the
cooktop and the cooking zones being
switched on or any settings being
altered unintentionally.
The system lock is activated when the
cooktop is switched off. If the system
lock is activated, the cooktop cannot be
switched on and the timer cannot be
used. A set minute minder time
continues to count down. The cooktop
is programmed so that the system lock
must be activated manually. It can be
programmed to be activated
automatically 5minutes after the
cooktop has been switched off (see
“Programming”).
The safety lock is activated while the
cooktop is switched on. When the
safety lock is activated, the cooktop
can only be operated to a limited
extent:
– The cooking zones and the cooktop
can only be switched off.
– A set minute minder time can be

Safety features
39
Overheating protection
Each zone is equipped with overheating
protection (internal temperature limiter).
This switches off the heating element
automatically before the ceramic
surface overheats. As soon as the
cooking zone temperature has cooled
sufficiently, heating is switched on
again automatically.
The overheating protection may be
triggered under the following
circumstances:
– There is no cookware on the cooking
zone that is switched on.
– The pot or pan being used is empty.
– The base of a pan is not sitting
evenly on the cooking zone.
– The pan 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.

Risk of burning on hot cooking
zones!
The cooking zones will be hot after
use.
Switch the cooktop off.
Allow the cooking zones to cool
down before cleaning the cooktop.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
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.
The use of unsuitable cleaning
agents can cause the surfaces to
discolour or alter. All surfaces are
susceptible to scratching.
Remove any residual cleaning agent
immediately.
Never use abrasive sponges or
cleaning agents.
Clean the cooktop after every use.
Dry the cooktop thoroughly after
every cleaning 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,
– dirt erasers.
Cleaning and care
44
Cleaning the ceramic surface
Risk of damage by pointed
objects.
The seal between the cooktop and
the worktop could be damaged.
The seal between the ceramic
surface and the frame could be
damaged.
Do not use pointed objects for
cleaning.
Do not use washing-up liquid to
clean the appliance. Using washing-
up liquid will not remove all soiling
and residues. An invisible film can
develop that can lead to
discolouration of the ceramic glass
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 glass scraper.
Then clean the ceramic glass surface
with the Miele ceramic and stainless
steel cooktop cleaner (see “Optional
accessories”) or with a proprietary
ceramic glass cleaner applied with
paper towel or a clean cloth. Do not
apply the cleaner while the cooktop is
still hot, as this can result in marking.
Please follow the cleaning agent
manufacturer's instructions.
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
removed.
Spots caused by limescale, water
and aluminium residues (spots with a
metallic appearance) can be removed
using the Miele ceramic and stainless
steel cooktop cleaner.
Risk of burning on 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 cooktop
with a glass scraper.
Should any sugar, plastic or
aluminium 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 whilst they are
still hot, using a shielded scraper
blade suitable for use on glass.
Afterwards, clean the ceramic surface
in its cooled state, as described
above.
Problem solving guide
45
With the help of the following guide, minor faults in the performance of the
appliance, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remedied
without contacting Miele. This will save you time and money because you will not
need a service call.
Please note that a call-out charge will be applied to unnecessary service visits
where the problem could have been rectified as described in these operating
instructions.
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The cooktop or cooking
zones do not switch on.
There is no power to the cooktop.
Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. Contact
an electrician or Miele (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. To do this:
– switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the
plug, or
– switch off at the residual current device.
If, after switching the circuit breaker or residual
current device back on, the appliance will still not
switch on, contact a qualified electrician or Miele.
A smell and vapours are
given off when the new
appliance is being used.
The metal components have a protective coating
which when heated for the first time will give off a
slight smell and possibly some vapours. The smell
and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance and they are not harmful to
health.
After the cooktop has
been switched on

The cooktop must only be installed by a qualified person.
Danger of electric shock!
Incorrect connection to the power supply may result in an electric shock.
The cooktop must be connected to the power supply by a qualified electrician.
Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the cooktop when fitting wall units or a rangehood
above it.
Fit the wall units and the rangehood before the cooktop.
The veneer or laminate coatings of worktops (or adjacent kitchen
units) must be treated with 100°C heat-resistant adhesive which will
not dissolve or distort. Any splashbacks must be of heat-resistant
material as well.
The cooktop must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer,
freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.
After installation, ensure that nothing can come into contact with
the connection cable and that it is without hindrance.
The connection cable may not come into contact with any moving
kitchen component (e.g. a drawer) or be subject to mechanical
obstruction which could damage it.
Carefully observe the safety clearances listed on the following
pages.
Safety distances
50
Safety distance above the
cooktop
The safety distance specified by the
manufacturer of the rangehood must be
maintained between the cooktop and
the rangehood above it.
For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil
rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety
distance of 600mm must be
maintained between these objects and
the highest part of the cooktop below.
When two or more appliances which
have different safety distances are
installed together below a
rangehood, observe the greatest
specified safety distance.
Safety distances
51
Safety distances to the sides
and back of the appliance
The minimum distance shown below
must be maintained between the back
edge of the cooktop and a tall unit or
wall.
Ideally the cooktop should be installed
with plenty of space on either side.
There may be a wall at the rear or a tall
unit or wall on one side (right or left),
taking into account the distances
below. On the other side, however, no
tall unit or wall should stand closer than
300mm to the edge of the cooktop.
Before installing the cooktop, check
that the below clearance requirements
are met.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
back edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.
Minimum distance on the right side
between the worktop cut-out and the
closest adjacent piece of furniture (e.g.
tall unit) or a room wall:
50 mm KM6522/6527
70 mm KM6520/6521
Minimum horizontal distance from the
left edge of the cooktop to a vertical
surface:
50 mm KM6520/6521/6522
70 mm KM 6527
Interim shelf
It is not necessary to fit an interim shelf
underneath the cooktop but one may
be fitted if you wish.
If an interim shelf is fitted under the
cooktop, there must be a minimum gap
of 110mm between the top of the
worktop and the top of the shelf.
Leave a gap of 10mm at the back of
the shelf to accommodate the cable. If
the cooktop has an external mains
connection box, the minimum gap is
30mm.
Installation notes
52
Installation of surface-
mounted appliances
Seal between the cooktop and the
worktop
Damage caused by incorrect
installation.
Using sealant under the cooktop
could result in damage to the
cooktop and the worktop if the
cooktop ever needs to be removed
for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the
cooktop and the worktop.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the cooktop provides a sufficient seal
for the worktop.
Tiled worktop
Grout lines and the hatched area
underneath the cooktop frame must be
smooth and even. If they are not, the
cooktop will not sit flush with the
worktop and the sealing strip
underneath the cooktop will not provide
a good seal between the cooktop and
the worktop.
Installation notes
53
Flush-mounted installation
Flush-mounted installation is only
possible in natural stone (granite,
marble), solid wood and tiled
worktops. Certain models are suitable
for building into glass worktops -
please see the relevant label on the
cooktop. When using a worktop made
from any other material, please check
first with the worktop manufacturer
that it is suitable for installing a flush-
mounted cooktop.
The internal width of the base unit
underneath the appliance must be at
least as wide as the inner worktop cut-
out (see “Building-in dimensions -
Flush-mounted cooktops”), so that the
cooktop is easily accessible from
underneath after installation and the
bottom half of the casing can be
removed for maintenance. If the
underside of the cooktop is not freely
accessible after installation, any
sealant used to plug the gaps around
the appliance must be removed to
enable the cooktop to be lifted out of
the cut-out should this be necessary.
Natural stone worktops
The cooktop is placed directly in the
cut-out.
Solid wood worktops, tiled worktops,
glass worktops
The cooktop is placed on a wooden
frame inside the cut-out. The frame
must be provided on site and is not
supplied with the appliance.

Installation of surface-
mounted appliances
Preparing the worktop
Create the worktop cut-out.
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Safety
distances”).
Wooden worktops
Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable
heat-resistant sealant to avoid
swelling caused by moisture. The
sealant must be temperature-
resistant.
Make sure the sealant does not
come into contact with the top
surface of the worktop.
The sealing strip ensures that the
cooktop will sit securely in the cut-out
without slipping. Any gap between the
trim and worktop will become smaller
over time.
Securing the spring clips
The exact positioning of the spring
clips is shown in the individual
cooktop diagrams.
Wooden worktops
Position the spring clips on the top
edge of the cut-out as shown in the
cooktop illustration.
Fasten the spring clips using the
3.5x25mm wood screws supplied
with the appliance.
Installation
59
Granite and marble worktops
You will need heavy duty double-sided
adhesive tape (not included with the
cooktop) to fasten the spring clips.
Attach the adhesive tape along the
top edge of the cut-out in the
positions shown in the cooktop
illustration.
Position the spring clips on the top
edge of the cut-out and press them
firmly into place.
Apply silicone adhesive to the side
edges and bottom edge of the spring
clips.
Installing the cooktop
Feed the mains connection cable
down through the cut-out.
Position the cooktop in the worktop
cut-out.
Using both hands, press down evenly
on the sides of the cooktop 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
radii (≤R4) can be carefully scribed to
suit.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone).
Connect the cooktop to the mains
electricity supply.
Check that the cooktop works.
The cooktop can only be removed
using a special tool.
Installation
60
Flush-mounted installation
Create the worktop cut-out.
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Safety
distances”).
Solid wood, tiled and glass worktops:
Fix a wooden frame 7mm below the
top edge of the worktop (see
“Building-in diagram - Flush-mounted
installation”).
Attach the sealing strip provided
underneath the edge of the cooktop.
Feed the mains connection cable
down through the cut-out.
Centre the cooktop in the cut-out.
The gap between the ceramic surface
and the worktop must be at least
2mm wide. This is required so that
the cooktop can be sealed.
Connect the cooktop to the mains
electricity supply.
Check that the cooktop works.
Seal the gap between the cooktop
and worktop with a silicone sealant
that is heat-resistant to at least
160°C.
Damage caused by 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. Please follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
