Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can pose a
considerable risk to the user. 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.
For safety reasons, this cooktop may only be used after it has
been built in.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
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.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special mains connection cable by a qualified 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.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
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
12
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
13
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 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
14
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
15
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.
Never use two pieces of cookware simultaneously on one cooking
zone.
If the cookware only partially covers a cooking zone or extended
zone, the handle could become very hot.
Always place cookware in the middle of a cooking zone or extended
zone!
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
16
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 above a pyrolytic oven or cooker, do not
use it during a pyrolytic cleaning programme as this could trigger the
overheating protection device on the cooktop (see "Familiarising
yourself with the appliance – Safety switch-off").
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the
discontinuation of your cooktop.
Sustainability and environmental protection
17
Energy saving tips
-Cook in covered pots and pans if
possible. This prevents heat escaping
unnecessarily.
-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.
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.

Power management
Total power
The cooktop has a maximum total
permitted power consumption which
cannot be exceeded for safety reasons.
The higher the total permitted power
consumption of the cooktop, the more
power levels/functions that can be used
simultaneously on all cooking zones.
If the set power levels/functions require
more power than can be made available
by the total permitted power output, the
cooktop will distribute the possible
power across the cooking zones.
Power distribution
Cooking zones can be linked together
in pairs on the cooktop. This allows
power to be transferred from one
cooking zone (A) to another zone (B).
This transfer reduces the power on
cooking zone (A).
Example: the Booster for cooking zone
(B) is activated.
The cooking zone (B) which requires
power is determined by the most recent
selected setting on the cooktop.
The values for the maximum total
permitted power consumption and
which cooking zones are linked
together can be found in “Familiarising
yourself with the appliance – Cooking
zone data”.
You can reduce the maximum total
permitted power consumption (see
“Adjusting settings”).
Effects of distributing the power
When a cooking zone gives power to
another zone, it can have the following
effects on the power of the first zone:
-The power level is reduced.
-Auto heat-up will be deactivated.
Cooking continues at the set level. If
the power is not sufficient, the power
level will be reduced again.
-The Booster function is deactivated.
-The cooking zone is switched off.
If the most recently set power level is
reduced or the Booster function is
switched off, the power level for the
linked cooking zone can be increased
again.
Useful tip: If you want to cook large
quantities of food on a cooking zone,
switch the other cooking zones to lower
power levels.

Operating principles
Switched off cooktop
When the cooktop is switched off, you
can only see the printed symbols for the
sensors and the numerical display.
More sensors light up when the
cooktop is switched on.
Operation
a
Sensors and indicators
This ceramic cooktop is equipped with
sensors which react to finger contact.
Each time you touch a sensor, an
acoustic signal sounds.
For safety reasons, when switching the
appliance on, the On/Off sensor
needs to be touched for a little longer
than the other sensors.
Selecting a cooking zone
If you want to select settings on a
cooking zone, the cooking zone must
be selected.
To select a cooking zone, touch the
relevant cooking zone sensor. The
relevant cooking zone sensor will begin
to flash when touched.
While the cooking zone indicator is
flashing, the cooking zone is selected
and you can select settings on the
cooking zone.

in operation, settings can be adjusted
without needing to select a cooking
zone.
Familiarising yourself with the appliance
26
Functions
Permanent pan recognition
When you place a pan on a cooking
zone, the numerical display of the
cooking zone activates automatically.
Pan and pan size recognition
The pan and its size are detected within
the cooking zone. The energy given off
is adjusted according to the pan size.
Booster
When activated, the power is boosted
so that large quantities can be heated
up quickly, e.g. when boiling water for
cooking pasta.
Stop & Go
When Stop & Go is activated, the power
of all cooking zones in use is reduced to
power level1. When Stop & Go is
deactivated, the cooking zones will
operate at the power level previously
selected.
Useful tip: Use this function when the
sensors need to be cleaned quickly, or
when there is a risk of boiling over.
Extended power levels
You can switch on additional levels
between the power levels. These
intermediate power levels enable you to
make finer adjustments to the power
output for the pot or pan being used.
Auto heat-up
When Auto heat-up has been activated,
the cooking zone switches on
automatically at the highest setting and
then switches to the continued cooking
setting which you have previously
selected.
Timer
The timer can be used for the following
2 functions:
-For setting the minute minder
-For automatically switching a cooking
zone off
You can use the functions
simultaneously.
Minute minder
You can set a minute minder for
activities that are unrelated to the
cooktop.
Automatic switch-off
You can set a time after which the
cooking zone will switch off
automatically. This function can be
used on all zones at the same time.
System lock
If the system lock is activated, the
cooktop cannot be switched on.
Safety lock
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.
Familiarising yourself with the appliance
27
Recall
If the cooktop is switched off
inadvertently during operation, this
function can be used to reset all
settings. For this to work, the cooktop
must be switched on again within
10seconds of being switched off.
Keeping warm
This function enables food to be kept
warm directly after cooking.
The maximum duration for keeping food
warm is 2hours.
Programming
You can adapt the programming of the
cooktop to your personal needs.
Demonstration mode
This function enables the cooktop to be
demonstrated in showrooms without
heating up.
Residual heat indicator
If a cooking zone is still hot, the residual
heat indicator will light up after it has
been switched off.
The bars of the residual heat indicator
go out one after the other as the
cooking zone cools down. The last
horizontal bar only goes out when the
cooking zone is safe to touch.
Familiarising yourself with the appliance
28
Safety switch-off
Sensors are covered
Your cooktop will switch off
automatically if one or several of the
sensors remain covered for longer than
10seconds, for example, by finger
contact, food boiling over or by an
object such as an oven glove or a tea
towel. will appear in the timer display
for a few seconds. If the sensor is
affected, will light up until the object
or soiling has been removed.
will go out once you have removed
the object or cleaned the cooktop and
the cooktop will be ready to use again.
Excessive operating time
The safety switch-off mechanism is
triggered automatically if a cooking
zone is heated for an unusually long
period of time. This time depends on
the power level selected. If it has been
exceeded, the cooking zone switches
off and the residual heat indicator
appears. If you switch the cooking zone
on and off again, it is ready for
operation again.
You can adust the safety switch-off
function by changing the safety setting
(see "Adjusting settings").

Commissioning
30
Unpacking the cooktop
Please stick the extra data plate
stating the model number, which is
temporarily affixed to the appliance,
in the space provided in the "Service"
section of this booklet. Alternatively,
the additional plate stating the model
number 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, wipe
the cooktop with a damp cloth.
Then wipe the cooktop dry.
Using the cooktop for the first
time
The metal components have a
protective coating. When the cooktop is
used for the first time, this causes a
smell and possibly also vapour. The
heating of the induction coils also
causes odours 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.

Tips for keeping warm
-Only use suitable cookware (pots/
pans) for keeping food warm. Cover
the pot or 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.

These settings should only be taken as a guide. The power of the induction coils will vary
depending on the size and material of the pan. For this reason, it is possible that the
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.
Good to know
43
How induction cooktops work
An induction coil is located under each
cooking zone. The coil creates a
magnetic field that reacts directly with
the base of the pan and heats it up. The
cooking zone itself is heated up
indirectly by the heat given off by the
pan.
An induction cooktop only works when
a pan with a magnetic base is placed
on it (see "Good to know - Cookware").
Induction automatically recognises the
size of the pan.
Noises
When using an induction cooking zone,
the following noises can occur in the
pan, depending on what it is made of
and how it has been constructed:
Buzzing on the higher power levels.
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 crackling sound.
Whistling might occur if linked cooking
zones (see "Operation - Booster") are
being used at the same time, and the
pans also have bases made of layers of
different materials.
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
cooktop has been switched off.
Good to know
44
Cookware
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.
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.
Good to know
45
Tips on cookware
-Position the cookware as centrally as
possible on the relevant cooking
zone/cooking area.
-To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with a suitable
base diameter (see "Familiarising
yourself with the appliance - Cooking
zone data"). If the pan is too small, it
will not be recognised.
-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.

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 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.
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 instructions for installation
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.
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.
The cooktop must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer,
freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.
This cooktop must not be installed above a cooker or oven unless
it has a built-in cooling fan.
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.
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.
Remember to maintain the minimum safety distances (see
“Installation – Safety distances”).

Additional installation instructions for surface-mounted installation
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.
a
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.

Additional installation instructions for flush-fit installation
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.
The internal width of the base unit underneath the appliance must
be at least as wide as the internal cut-out width of the worktop (see
"Installation - Installation dimensions - flush-fit"). This is to ensure
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.
A flush-fit cooktop is suitable only for installation in natural stone
(granite, marble), solid wood and tiled worktops. 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
cooktop.
-Natural stone worktops: the cooktop is placed directly in the cut-
out.
-Solid wood, tiled 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.

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.
When two or more appliances which
have different safety distances are
installed together below a rangehood,
the greatest safety distance required
must be observed.
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.
Safety distances to the sides and
back of the cooktop
The following minimum distances must
be maintained to a tall unit or wall:
-Distance between the back edge of
the cooktop and the rear edge of the
worktop:
50mm
and
-Distance between the right edge of
the cooktop and the closest adjacent
piece of furniture (e.g. tall unit) or a
room wall:
50mm and on the opposite side a
minimum distance of 200mm
or
-Distance between the left edge of
the cooktop and the closest adjacent
piece of furniture (e.g. tall unit) or a
room wall:
50mm and on the opposite side a
minimum distance of 200mm

Installing the surface-mounted
cooktop
Create the worktop cut-out.
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Installation –
Safety distances”).
Seal the cut surfaces of wooden
worktops with a suitable sealant to
avoid swelling caused by moisture.
The sealant must be heat-resistant.
Make sure the sealant does not
come into contact with the top
surface of the worktop.
Attach the sealing strip provided
underneath the edge of the cooktop.
Do not apply the sealing strip under
tension.
Feed the mains connection cable for
the cooktop down through the
worktop cut-out.
Place the cooktop 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 important to ensure an
effective seal with the worktop.
If the seal does not meet the worktop
correctly on the corners, the corner
radius (≤ R4) can be carefully scribed
to suit.
If a base panel optimised for air
intake has been installed, position the
cooktop so that the fans sit above the
cut-outs.
Connect the cooktop to the mains
electricity supply (see "Installation –
Electrical connection").
Check that the cooktop works.

Installing the cooktop flush
with the worktop
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 5.5mm below
the top edge of the worktop.
Attach the sealing strip provided
underneath the edge of the cooktop.
Do not apply the sealing strip under
tension.
Feed the mains connection cable
down through the worktop cut-out.
The gap between the ceramic glass
surface and the worktop must be at
least 2mm wide. This is required so
that the cooktop can be sealed.
Centre the cooktop in the cut-out.
If a base panel optimised for air
intake has been installed, position the
cooktop so that the fans sit above the
cut-outs.
Connect the cooktop to the mains
electricity supply (see "Installation –
Electrical connection").
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.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
71
Electrical connection
The cooktop is supplied with a mains
connection cable with moulded plug
ready for connection to a suitable
earthed socket.
The socket should be easily accessible
after the cooktop has been installed. If
the socket is not easily accessible,
ensure that a suitable means of
disconnection is provided on the
installation side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the cooktop to multi-
socket adapters or extension cables
can overload the cables.
For safety reasons, do not use an
extension cable or multi-socket
adapter.
Risk of damage from incorrect
connection. Incorrect installation,
maintenance and repairs can be
dangerous to users. Miele cannot be
held liable for damage or injury (e.g.
electric shock) caused by unauthorised
installation, maintenance or repair work,
or by an inadequate or faulty on-site
earthing system.
All electrical work must be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with
national and local safety regulations.
For safety reasons, we recommend
using a suitable residual current device
(RCD) in the relevant electrical
installation for connecting the cooktop.
If the mains connection cable is
damaged, it must only be replaced with
a specific mains connection cable of
the same type (available from Miele).
For safety reasons, such replacement
may only be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent electrician or a
Miele authorised service technician, in
order to avoid a hazard.
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the connection
data. Compare this information with the
data of the on-site electrical
connection. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
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 domestic 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.
