Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including
removal of any cover) 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.
Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-
mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks,
back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that
the energy supply system complies with all current local and national
requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery
systems.
The protective measures provided in the installation and in this Miele
product must also be assured in their function and operation in
isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or
replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
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 electricity 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
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.
Touching or tampering with electrical connections or components
and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele authorised service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
The cooktop 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 mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special mains connection cable by a qualified and competent
electrician in order to avoid a hazard (see “Installation - Electrical
connection”).
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
- the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or
- it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
Danger of electric shock! If the ceramic surface is faulty, cracked,
chipped or damaged in any way, do not use the cooktop and switch
it off immediately. Disconnect the cooktop from the electricity
supply. Contact Miele.
If the cooktop is installed behind a furniture door, do not close the
door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build
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
appliance has cooled down and the residual heat indicators have
gone 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.
DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
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.
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
12
When the cooktop is switched on, either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is a risk of
metal items placed on the cooktop heating up. Depending on the
material, other items left on the appliance could also melt or catch
fire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be
difficult to dislodge. Do not use the cooktop as a resting place for
anything else. Switch the cooktop 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 oven 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
13
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.
Because induction heating works extremely quickly, the base of
the pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-
ignites within a very short time. Do not leave the cooktop unattended
whilst it is being used.
Heat oil or fat for a maximum of one minute. Never use the
Booster function to heat oil or fat.
For people fitted with a heart pacemaker: please note that the
area immediately surrounding the cooktop is electromagnetically
charged when it is switched on. 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
electromagnetic fields, e.g. credit cards, digital storage devices,
pocket calculators, etc., do not leave them in the immediate vicinity
of the cooktop.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the cooktop can become
hot if the appliance is used intensively for a long time. Do not store
any metal items or utensils in a drawer under the cooktop.
The cooktop is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly
underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient space
between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the
cooktop in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the cooktop.
If a drawer is fitted directly underneath the cooktop, do not store
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.
If an induction adapter plate is used for cookware, the induction
generator may be damaged or even destroyed. Do not use induction
adapter plates.
Warning and Safety instructions
15
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.
If the cooktop is built in over a pyrolytic oven, the cooktop should
not be used whilst the pyrolytic process is being carried out, as this
could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the cooktop
(see “Safety features - Overheating protection”).
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the
discontinuation of your cooktop.
Caring for the environment
16
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.

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 may give off a
slight smell when heated up for the first
time. The induction coils may also give
off a slight smell for the first few hours
of operation. This smell will be less
noticeable with each subsequent use
before dissipating completely.
The smell and any vapours given off do
not indicate a faulty connection or
appliance and they are not hazardous
to health.
Please note that the heating up time
on induction cooktops is significantly
shorter than on conventional
cooktops.

How it works
26
Induction coils are located under the
ceramic surface. These coils create a
magnetic field that reacts directly with
the base of the pan and heats it up. The
ceramic surface itself is heated up
indirectly by the heat given off by the
pan.
The position, size and shape of the pots
and pans are recognised automatically
by the induction cooktop.
An induction cooktop only works when
a pan with a magnetic base is placed
on it (see "Cookware").
Risk of burning due to hot items!
When the cooktop is switched on,
either deliberately or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present,
there is a risk of metal items placed
on the cooktop heating up.
Do not use the cooktop as a resting
place for anything else.
After use, switch the cooktop off with
the sensor control.
Noises
The following noises can occur in the
pan, depending on what it is made of
and how it has been constructed.
On the higher power levels, the
appliance might buzz. This will
decrease or cease altogether when the
power level is reduced.
If the pan base is made of layers of
different materials (e.g. in a sandwiched
base), it might emit a cracking sound.
You might hear a clicking sound from
the electronic switches, especially on
lower power levels.
You might hear a whirring sound when
the cooling fan switches on. It switches
on to protect the electronics when the
cooktop is being used intensively. The
fan may continue to run after the
appliance has been switched off.
Cookware
27
Suitable pans
- stainless steel pans with a base that
can be magnetised
- 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. Cookware with a base made of
multi-layered material (sandwich or
encapsulated base) is suitable.
The pan base material and the positions
of the pans on the cooktop affect the
power of the induction coils. This can
affect the cooking behaviour.
Pan size
Round pans should preferably have a
base diameter from 145mm up to a
maximum of 350mm. Pans with a base
diameter between 100mm and 145mm
will not be detected in every position on
the cooktop.
Oval/Square pans must not exceed
dimensions of 380mmx300mm.
Unsuitable pans
- stainless steel pans with a base
which cannot be magnetised
- aluminium or copper pans
- glass, ceramic or earthenware pots
and pans
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 in
several different places. If the magnet
sticks, the pan is generally suitable.
Unsuitable pan indicator
When the cooktop is switched on and
you place a pan on it but the
corresponding number display does not
appear:
- the diameter of the base of the pan is
too small, or
- the pan is unsuitable
Cookware
28
Useful tips
- 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 and are not grounds for
making a complaint.
- 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.
- Where possible, use cookware with
vertically straight sides. If a pan has
angular sides, induction also acts on
the sides of the pan. The sides of the
pan may discolour or the coating
may peel off.
Tips on saving energy
29
- Cook in covered pots and pans if
possible. This prevents heat escaping
unnecessarily.
- 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 pan is hot for frying, reduce the
heat to a lower power level.
- Use a pressure cooker to reduce the
cooking duration.
Power level range
30
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").

These settings should only be taken as a guide. The power of the induction coils will vary
depending on the pan base size and material and the positions of the pans on the cooktop.
For this reason, it is possible that the settings 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.
When using new pans that you are not familiar with, set the power level below the one
specified.
Operation
31
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.
Only the printed On/Off symbol is
visible when the cooktop is switched
off. More sensor controls light up when
the cooktop is switched on.
Malfunction due to dirty and/or
covered sensors.
If the sensors 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 features –
Safety switch-off"). Placing hot pans
on the sensor controls/indicators can
damage the electronic unit
underneath.
Keep the sensors and indicators
clean.
Do not place anything over the
sensors or indicators.
Do not place hot pans over the
sensors or indicators.

Operation
32
Positioning cookware
You can use a maximum of 6 pans at
the same time on this cooktop.
Useful tips
- You can position the pans anywhere
on the useable surface of the
cooktop.
- We recommend switching the
cooktop on first and then placing the
pans on it. If you do this, the pans will
be detected more quickly by the
cooktop.
- If you are using several pans at once,
position them as far apart as
possible. This will enable the cooktop
to recognise each of them
individually.
- Move pans on the cooktop one after
the other, not all at the same time.
- When you move a pan on the
cooktop, the associated numerical
keybank lights up. The set power
level “goes along” with it.
- Pans with a base diameter between
100 and 145mm will not be detected
in every position on the cooktop.
Possible faults
You place a pan on the cooktop and the
associated numerical keybank does not
appear.
The pan cannot be detected in this
position because it is very small.
Reposition the pan. If it is still not
detected, use a different pan.
There are several pans on the cooktop.
You place another pan on the cooktop
and the symbol lights up.
The pans are too close together.
Reposition the pans.
Move pans on the cooktop one after
the other, not all at the same time.
You reposition a pan and the set power
level starts to flash.
The pan cannot be detected.
Touch the flashing power level.
If the power level continues to flash,
reposition the pan.
You reposition a pan, the set power
level goes out and 0 lights up.
Reset the power level.
Operation
33
Risk of fire due to overheated
food.
Unattended food can overheat and
ignite.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended
whilst it is being used.
Please note that the heating-up time
on induction cooktops is much
shorter than on conventional
cooktops.
Switching on the cooktop
Touch the sensor.
Further sensor controls will light up.
If no further entry is made, the
cooktop will switch itself off after a
few seconds for safety reasons.
Setting the power level
Place the pans in the required
position on the cooktop.
The corresponding numerical keybank
lights up.
Touch the appropriate sensor control
on the numerical keybank for the
power level you want.
If you do not set a power level within
approx. 10seconds, the numerical
keybank will go out.
Switching the cooktop off
Touch the sensor.
Residual heat indicator
If an area of the ceramic surface is hot,
the residual heat indicator will light up
after the cooktop has been switched
off. Depending on the temperature, a
dot will appear above power levels 1, 2
and 3.
The dots of the residual heat indicator
go out one after the other as the
ceramic surface cools down. The last
dot only goes out when the ceramic
surface is safe to touch.
Risk of burning due to hot
ceramic surface.
The ceramic surface will be hot after
use.
Do not touch the ceramic surface
while the residual heat indicators are
on.
Setting the power level –
extended power level range
Touch the numerical keybank
between two number sensors.
The sensors in front of and after the
interim level will light up brighter than
the other sensors.
Example:
If you have set power level 7., the
numbers 7 and 8 will be brighter than
the other numbers.
Operation
34
Auto heat-up
When Auto heat-up has been activated,

Booster
When 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.
You can use the Booster with a
maximum of 3 pans at the same time: 1
on the right-hand side of the cooktop, 1
in the centre and 1 on the left-hand side
of the cooktop.
If the Booster function is switched on
when
- no power level has been selected,
the power level will revert
automatically to power level9 at the
end of the Booster time or if the
Booster function is switched off
before this.
- a power level has been selected, the
power level will revert automatically
to the power level selected at the end
of the Booster time or if the Booster
function is switched off before this.
While the Booster is in operation, some
of the power is taken away from the
other induction coils. If another pan is in
use on the same side of the cooktop, it
will be affected as follows:
- Auto heat-up is deactivated.
- The power level is reduced.
- The heating 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 keep food warm in suitable
cookware (pots/pans). Cover the pot/
pan with a lid.
- Stir firm or viscous food (mashed
potatoes, stew) occasionally.
- Nutrients are lost when food is
cooked, and continue to diminish
when food is kept warm. The longer
food is kept warm for, the greater the
loss of nutrients. Try to keep food
warm for as short a time as possible.
Activating/Deactivating the keeping
warm function
Touch the sensor control on the
corresponding numerical keybank.
Keeping warm temperatures
A keeping warm temperature of 75°C is
set as standard. You can change the

Unsatisfactory results
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The food in the pan
hardly heats up or does
not heat up at all when
the Auto heat-up
function is switched on.
There is too much food in the pan.
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 pan which is better able to conduct
heat.
In comparable cooking
and frying processes
there are slight
differences in cooking
durations and browning.
This is not a fault.
The pan base material and the positions of the pans
on the cooktop affect the power of the induction
coils. This in turn affects the cooking behaviour.

General problems or technical faults
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The cooktop cannot be
switched 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 cooktop 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 the mains circuit breaker or 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.
When the appliance is used for the first time, this
causes a smell and possibly also vapour. The
material from which the induction coils are made also
gives off a smell in the first few hours of operation.
This smell will be less noticeable with each
subsequent use before dissipating completely. The
smell and any vapours given off do not indicate a
faulty connection or appliance and they are not
hazardous to health.
A noise can be heard
after the appliance is
switched off.
The fan will continue running until the cooktop has
cooled down. It will then switch itself off
automatically.

Safety distances
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.
If the manufacturer's instructions are
not available for the rangehood, a
minimum safety distance of 500 mm
must be maintained.
For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil
rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety
distance of 500mm 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.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
61
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
200mm 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 horizontal distance from the
right edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
left edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.
Minimum safety distance underneath

To ensure sufficient ventilation to the
cooktop, a minimum distance must be
left between the underside of the
cooktop and any oven, interim shelf or
drawer.
The minimum safety distance between
the underside
1
of the cooktop and
- the top edge of an oven: ≥ 8 mm
- the top edge of an interim shelf: ≥ 8
mmmm
- the top edge of a drawer: ≥ 8 mm
- the base of a drawer: ≥ 75 mm
1
The underside is the outside of the
cooktop casing. Other items that are

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.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the cooktop for service
purposes may damage the sealing
strip underneath the edge of the
cooktop.
Always replace the sealing strip
before reinstalling the cooktop.
Tiled worktop
Grout lines and the hatched area
underneath the cooktop frame must be
