Warnings and safety notes
This hob complies with all relevant local and national safety re-
quirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury
and material damage.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before us-
ing the hob. They contain important information on safety, installa-
tion, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and
damage to the hob.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the hob as well as the warnings and safety
notes.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep the operating and installation instructions in a safe place and
pass them on to any future owner.
Correct application
This hob is intended for domestic use and use in other similar en-
vironments.
This hob is not intended for outdoor use.
It is intended for domestic use only to cook food and keep it warm.
Any other use is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous.
This hob is not intended for use by people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision and instruction concerning
its use by a person responsible for their safety. They may only use the
hob unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe
way. They must be able to recognise and understand the dangers of
misuse.
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the hob un-
less they are constantly supervised.
5
Warnings and safety notes
Children over 8years of age may use the hob without supervision
if its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able
to use it safely. Children must be able to understand and recognise
the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean the hob unsupervised.
Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the hob. Never al-
low children to play with the hob.
The hob gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after be-
ing switched off. Keep children well away from the hob until it has
cooled down and there is no danger of burning.
Danger of burning. Do not store anything which might arouse a
child’s interest in storage areas above or behind the hob. Otherwise
they could be tempted to climb onto the hob.
Risk of burning and scalding. Place pots and pans on the cooking
zone in such a way that children cannot pull them down and burn
themselves.
Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children may become en-
tangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over
their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away
from children.
Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the hob inadvertently. Use the keypad lock when the hob is in use to
prevent children from altering the settings selected.
Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can pose a
considerable risk to the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs
must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
Damage to the hob can compromise your safety. Check the hob for
visible signs of damage. Do not use the hob if it is damaged.
6
Warnings and safety notes
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 system
complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent stand-
ard.
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 basic safety requirement is ful-
filled. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked by a
qualified electrician.
The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the hob must match the mains power supply in order to avoid the risk
of damage to the hob.
Compare this data before connecting the appliance. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
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.
This hob must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the hob will endanger your safety and
may lead to the hob malfunctioning.
Do not open the hob housing under any circumstances.
While the hob is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken
by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the warranty is
invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine
original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must
only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
7
Warnings and safety notes
The hob is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a
remote control system.
The hob must be connected to the mains power supply by a quali-
fied electrician.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special mains connection cable by a qualified electrician.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the hob must be
completely disconnected from the electricity supply. It is only com-
pletely isolated from the electricity supply when:
- The mains fuse has been disconnected or
- The screw-out fuses have been fully unscrewed or
- The mains plug (if present) is removed from the socket. To do this,
pull the mains plug and not the mains connection cable.
Risk 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 the Customer Service Department.
If the hob is installed behind a furniture front, do not close the door
while the hob is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the
furniture front when closed. This can result in damage to the hob, the
housing unit and the floor. Do not close the furniture front until the
residual heat indicators go out.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its
surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches
or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
Correct use
The hob gets hot when in use and remains hot for quite a while
after being switched off. There is a risk 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.
8
Warnings and safety notes
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 ex-
plode.
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 hob 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. 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. Always
switch the cooking zones off after use.
Switch the hob off after use. Do not wait until the hob switches off
automatically because there is no longer any cookware on it. This can
cause food to catch fire.
You could burn yourself on the hot hob. Protect your hands with
heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when working on the hot hob. Do
not let them get wet or damp. Heat transfers through damp and wet
material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.
When using an electrical appliance (e.g. a hand mixer) near the
hob, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot come
into contact with the hot hob. The cable’s insulation could become
damaged.
Grains of salt, sugar, or sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can
cause scratches if they get under the cookware. Make sure the
ceramic glass surface and the underside of the cookware are clean
before placing down the cookware.
Even a light object can cause damage in certain circumstances. Do
not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
Hot items placed down on the sensor controls and displays can
damage the electronic modules underneath. Never place hot pots or
pans on the sensor controls and displays.
9
Warnings and safety notes
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, turn off the
hob immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium
residues while still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Wear oven
gloves when doing this. Allow the ceramic surface to cool down and
then clean it with a suitable ceramic glass cleaner.
Do not heat empty pans on the hob as this can damage the
ceramic glass and/or the cookware. Never leave the hob unattended
during use!
Rough bases can scratch the ceramic glass. Use only pots and
pans with smooth bases.
Always lift cookware to move it. This will help prevent scratching.
Because induction heating works so quickly, the base of the cook-
ware 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!
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 hob is electromagnetically charged
when it is switched on. It is very unlikely to affect a pacemaker. How-
ever, if in any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or
your doctor.
When switched on, the electromagnetic field of the hob can impair
the function of magnetisable objects. Do not leave credit cards, di-
gital storage devices, pocket calculators, etc. in the immediate vicin-
ity 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.
10
Warnings and safety notes
Never use two items of cookware on a PowerFlex cooking zone or
PowerFlexXL cooking area at the same time.
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 or extended zone!
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.
Cleaning and care
The steam from a steam cleaner could reach live electrical com-
ponents and cause a short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the hob.
If the hob is installed above a pyrolytic oven or cooker, do not use
the hob during a pyrolytic cleaning programme as this could trigger
the overheating protection mechanism on the hob.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-
imum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of
your hob.
11
Sustainability and environmental protection
Energy saving tips when cook-
ing
- Cook in covered pots and pans if pos-
sible. This prevents heat escaping un-
necessarily.
- 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
cooking durations.
Disposing of the packaging ma-
terial
The packaging material is used for hand-
ling and protects the appliance from
transport damage. The packaging ma-
terial used is selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material re-
duces the use of raw materials. Use ma-
terial-specific collection points for valu-
able materials and take advantage of re-
turn options. Your Miele dealer will take
the packaging material away.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances con-
tain many valuable materials. They also
contain certain materials, compounds
and components which were essential
for their correct functioning and safety.
These could be hazardous to human
health and to the environment if dis-
posed of with household waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle elec-
trical and electronic appliances in your
local community, with your dealer or
with Miele, free of charge. By law, you
are solely responsible for deleting any
personal data from the old appliance
prior to disposal. You are legally obliged
to remove any old batteries which are
not securely enclosed by the appliance
and to remove any lamps without des-
troying them, where this is possible.
These must be taken to a suitable col-
lection point where they can be handed
in free of charge. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to chil-
dren while being stored for disposal.

Installation
Safety notes for installation
Risk of damage from incor-
rect installation.
Incorrect installation can cause
damage to the hob.
The hob must only be installed
by a qualified specialist.
Risk of electric shock from
mains voltage.
Incorrect connection to the
mains supply may result in an
electric shock.
The hob must be connected to
the electrical supply by a quali-
fied electrician only.
Damage from falling ob-
jects.
Take care not to damage the
hob when fitting wall units or a
cooker hood above it.
Fit the wall units and the
cooker hood before the hob.
Dismantling the hob for service
purposes may damage the
sealing strip underneath the
edge of the hob.
Always replace the sealing strip
before reinstalling.
The hob must not be installed
over refrigeration appliances,
dishwashers, washing machines,
washer-dryers or tumble dryers.
This hob may only be installed
above a cooker or oven if they
have a built-in cooling fan.
Ensure that the mains connec-
tion cable cannot be touched
after the hob has been installed.
After installation, the mains
connection cable of the hob must
not come into contact with any
moving kitchen components
(such as a drawer) or be subject
to mechanical loads.
The veneers or laminate coat-
ings of worktops must be treated
with 100°C heat-resistant ad-
hesive so they do not come loose
or warp. Any wall strips must be
of heat-resistant material.
Remember to maintain the
minimum safety distances.
Additional safety notes for surface-
mounted installation
13
Installation
Damage caused by incor-
rect installation.
Using sealant under the hob
could result in damage to the
hob and the worktop if the hob
ever needs to be removed.
Do not use sealant between
the hob and the worktop.
The sealing strip under the
edge of the hob provides a suf-
ficient seal for the worktop.
Grout lines and the hatched
area underneath 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.
Additional safety notes for flush-fit in-
stallation
Damage caused by using
an unsuitable sealant.
Unsuitable sealant can damage
natural stone.
For natural stone worktops and
natural stone tiles, only use sil-
icone sealant that is temperat-
ure-resistant (min. 160°C) and
specially formulated for natural
stone. Follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions.
The internal width of the base
unit underneath the appliance
must be at least as wide as the
inner worktop cut-out so that the
hob is easily accessible from be-
low after installation and the cas-
ing can be removed for mainten-
ance. If the underside of the hob
is not freely accessible after in-
stallation, any sealant must be
removed to enable the hob to be
lifted out.
A flush-fit hob 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
the material is suitable for in-
stalling a flush-fit hob.
14
Installation
- Natural stone worktops: the
hob is set directly in the cut-
out.
- Solid wood worktops, tiled
worktops: the hob is secured
inside the cut-out with
wooden battens. The battens
must be provided on site and
are not included in the scope
of delivery.
Safety distances
Safety distance above the hob
The following must be ensured between
the hob and the cooker hood above it:
- The safety distance specified by the
manufacturer of the cooker hood must
be maintained.
- When two or more appliances which
have different safety distances are in-
stalled together below a cooker hood,
the greatest specified safety distance
must be maintained.
If combustible objects are installed
above the hob (e.g. cabinets, utensil rail,
etc.), a minimum safety distance of 500
mm must be maintained.
15
Installation
Safety distance behind and to the side of the hob
The minimum safety distances shown
below must be maintained between the
appliance and a tall unit or wall:
- Between the back of the worktop
cut-out and the rear edge of the
worktop:
50mm
and
- On the right side between the
worktop cut-out and the closest adja-
cent piece of furniture (e.g. tall unit)
or a room wall:
50mm and on the opposite side a
minimum safety distance of 200mm
or
- On the left side between the

Safety distance underneath the hob
To install the hob while maintaining the
safety distances, you can choose from
3variants:
1. Without intermediate shelf or base
panel
2. With intermediate shelf
3. With an air intake-optimised base
panel
Further instructions are described in the
relevant section.
An air intake-optimised base panel
and an intermediate shelf cannot be
combined.
If they are combined, more warm air
is drawn in. The hob is not ad-
equately cooled.
The hob is ventilated from below.
A drawer underneath the hob is
heated.
If you wish to install a drawer under-
neath the hob, we recommend in-
stalling the hob with an air intake-op-
timised base panel to reduce the
waste heat from the hob.
Rear panel cut-out
For ventilation and accommodating the
mains connection cable, you will need
to create a cut-out in the rear panel.
Create a cut-out in the rear panel using
the following instructions:
≥ 45 mm
≥ 550 mm

Installation
Installing a surface-mounted
hob
Preparing the worktop for surface-
mounted installation
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances.
Create the worktop cut-out.
Wooden worktops:
Seal any cut surfaces with a special
varnish, silicone sealant or resin to
prevent the wood from swelling as a
result of moisture ingress. The sealant
must be heat-resistant.
Make sure that the sealant does not
come into contact with the top of the
worktop.
Installing a surface-mounted hob
The seal ensures that the hob will sit se-
curely in the cut-out without slipping.
Any gap between the appliance frame
and worktop will become smaller over
time.
Attach the sealing strip included in
the scope of delivery underneath the
edge of the hob. The joint edge (start
and end) of the sealing strip must not
be in a corner. Apply some silicone
joint sealant to the joint edge of the
sealing strip. Do not apply the sealing
strip under tension.
Risk of damage from incorrect
connection.
The hob electronic module may be
damaged if a short-circuit occurs.
The mains connection cable must be
connected to the hob by a qualified
electrician.
Follow the instructions in the wiring
diagram to connect the mains con-
nection cable to the hob.
Feed the mains connection cable for
the hob down through the worktop
cut-out.
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 effective sealing all
round.
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.
If an air intake-optimised base panel
is installed, position the hob so that
the fans are located above the cut-
outs.
Connect the hob to the electricity
supply.
Check that the hob is working.
Installing the hob flush with the
worktop
Preparing the worktop for flush-fit in-
stallation
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances.

Power management
Total permitted power consumption
The hob has a maximum total permitted
power consumption which cannot be
exceeded for safety reasons. You can re-
duce the maximum total permitted
power consumption.
The higher the total permitted power
consumption of the hob, the more
power levels/special functions can be
used on all cooking zones at the same
time.
If the set power levels/special functions
require more power than can be
provided in accordance with the total
permitted power consumption, the hob
will distribute the maximum permitted
power between the cooking zones.
Distribution of power
Cooking zones can be linked together in
pairs on the hob. This allows power to
be transferred from one cooking zone
(A) to another (B). As a result, the power
of cooking zone (A) is reduced.
Example: the Booster function for cook-
ing zone (B) is activated.
Cooking zone (B) which requires addi-
tional power is determined by the most
recent setting on the hob.
The values for the maximum total per-
mitted power consumption and which
cooking zones are linked together can
be found in the cooking zone data.
You can reduce the maximum total
permitted power consumption.
Effects of power distribution
If a cooking zone gives power to another
zone, this can have the following effects
on the zone giving the power:
- The power level is reduced.
- Auto heat-up is 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.
When the cooking zone stops transfer-
ring power to another zone, the power
level can be increased again.
Tip: If you wish to cook a large quantity
of food on one cooking zone, switch the
other cooking zones to lower power
levels.
Operation

ing zone. If cookware is detected on the
other cooking zones, the other cooking
zone indicators light up dimly. Excep-
tion: if only one of the cooking zones is
in operation, you can configure settings
without selecting the cooking zone.
Networking
Your hob is equipped with an integrated
WiFi module. The hob can be connected
to your home network or just to your
Miele cooker hood. The WiFi module
enables the Miele app to be used on a

Once your hob has been connected via
WiFi, the connection is automatically re-
established every time it is switched on.
Make sure that your WiFi network sig-
nal is strong enough in the place where
you intend to install your hob.
Connecting your hob to your WiFi net-
work will increase energy consump-
tion, even when the hob is switched
off.

The size of the cookware is detected
within a cooking zone. The release of
energy is adapted to the size of the pan.
PowerFlex/PowerFlexXL cooking area
A PowerFlex/PowerFlexXL cooking area
links together 2 PowerFlex cooking
zones, making it possible to use larger
cookware.
The PowerFlex cooking zones link auto-
matically to form a PowerFlex/
PowerFlexXL cooking area when you
place sufficiently large items of cook-
ware on them. The PowerFlex cooking
zones can also be linked manually.
Hob Booster
When the Booster function is 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 deac-
tivated, the cooking zones will operate
at the power level previously selected.
Tip: Use this special function when the
control elements need to be cleaned
quickly or there is a risk of boiling over.
Hob power levels
You can set the power for the cookware
in levels from 1 to 9.
There is an intermediate level between
each power level. The intermediate
levels allow you to fine-tune the power
settings.
If you do not need the intermediate
levels, you can deactivate the intermedi-
ate levels via the settings.
Auto heat-up
When auto heat-up has been activated,
the cooking zone switches on automat-
ically at the highest setting (heat-up
boost) and then switches to the power
level (continued cooking setting) which
you have previously selected.
Timer functions
There are 3 timer functions:
- Timer
- Duration of a cooking process
- Elapsed time of a cooking process
You can use the functions simultan-
eously.

If a cooking zone is still hot, the residual
heat indicator will light up after all cook-
ing zones have been switched off.
The bars of the residual heat indicator
go out one after the other as the cook-
ing zone cools down. The last bar only
goes out when the cooking zone is safe
to touch.
Safety switch-off
Sensor controls are covered
Your hob will switch off automatically if
one or several of the sensor controls re-
main covered for longer than
10seconds; for example, by finger con-
tact, food boiling over or by an object.

will go out once you have removed the
obstruction and/or soiling and the hob
will be ready to use again.
Excessive operating time
The safety switch-off is triggered auto-
matically if a cooking zone is heated for
an unusually long period of time. This
time depends on the power level selec-
ted. If it has been exceeded, the cooking
zone switches off and the residual heat
indicator appears. If you switch the
cooking zone off and on again, it is ready
for operation again.
You can adjust the safety switch-off by

Commissioning
Unpacking the hob
Please stick the data plate for the ap-
pliance, supplied with this document-
ation, in the space provided in the
“After sales service” section of this
booklet.
Remove any protective foil and stick-
ers.
Cleaning the hob for the first
time
Before using for the first time, clean
the hob with a damp cloth.
Wipe the hob dry.
Switching on the hob for the
first time
The metal components have a protect-
ive coating. When the hob 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. With
each subsequent use, the odour is re-
duced until it disappears completely.
The odour and any vapours given off do
not indicate a faulty connection or appli-
ance and they are not hazardous to
health.
Networking
You can use your hob:
- To connect to your home network with
your mobile device
- To network directly with your Miele
cooker hood
Both types of networking allow you to
control your cooker hood.
Networking with your mobile device al-
lows you to utilise additional functions.

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, the power levels may 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 level to one level below the one
specified.

Good to know
How induction hobs work
An induction coil is located under each
induction cooking zone. The coil creates
a magnetic field that reacts directly with
the base of the cookware and heats it
up. The cooking zone itself is heated up
indirectly by the heat given off by the
cookware.
An induction cooking zone only works
when cookware with a magnetic base is
placed on it. The hob automatically de-
tects the size of the cookware.
Noises
When using induction cooking zones,
the following noises can occur in the
cookware, 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 cookware base is made of layers
of different materials (e.g. in a sand-
wiched base), it might emit a crackling
sound.
Whistling might occur if linked cooking
zones are being used at the same time
and the cookware also has a base made
of layers of different materials (e.g.
sandwich base).
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 cooling fan
may continue to run after the hob has
been switched off.
Cookware
Suitable cookware
- Stainless steel cookware with a mag-
netic base
- Enamelled steel cookware
- Cast iron
Please be aware that the properties of
the cookware base can affect the even-
ness with which the food heats up (e.g.
when making pancakes). The base of
the cookware must be able to distribute
the heat evenly. Cookware with a base
made from multilayer material (sand-
wich or encapsulated base) is ideal in
this case.
Unsuitable cookware
- Stainless steel cookware without a
magnetic base
- Aluminium or copper cookware
- Glass, ceramic or earthenware cook-
ware
Testing cookware
To test whether a pot or pan is induc-
tion-compatible, hold a magnet to the
base. If the magnet sticks, the pan is
generally suitable.
Cookware tips
- Position the cookware as centrally as
possible on the relevant cooking
zone/cooking area.
- To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose cookware with a suit-
able base diameter. If a pan is too
small, it will not be detected.
- Use only pots and pans with smooth
bases. Rough bases can scratch the
ceramic surface.
61
Good to know
- When cooking zones are joined to-
gether, we recommend using cook-
ware which more or less covers the
entire cooking area (e.g. an oven
dish).
- 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 cookware dia-
meter quoted by manufacturers often
refers to the maximum diameter or
diameter of the top rim. The diameter
of the base (generally smaller) is more
important.
- Where possible, use cookware with
vertically straight sides. If an item of
cookware has angular sides, induction
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.

Safety notes on cleaning and
care
Risk of burning due to hot
surfaces.
All parts of the hob may be hot
after use.
Switch the hob off.
Allow the hob to cool down be-
fore cleaning it.
All surfaces could be discol-
oured or damaged if unsuitable

agents are heated on the hob.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching.
Allow the surfaces to cool
down before cleaning the hob.
Remove all cleaning agent
residues immediately.
Never use abrasive sponges or
cleaning agents.
Using washing-up liquid will
not remove all soiling and
residues. An invisible film can
develop that can lead to discol-
ouration of the ceramic glass
surface. This discolouration
cannot be removed.
Clean the glass ceramic sur-
face regularly with a proprietary
ceramic glass cleaner.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean the hob.
Do not use pointed objects for
cleaning.
When to clean
Before each use:
Clean the entire hob and the base of
the cookware.
After every use:
Clean the entire hob.
Once a week:
To prevent cleaning agent residue be-
ing burned on, clean the ceramic sur-
face with the Miele ceramic and
stainless steel cleaner or with a pro-
prietary ceramic glass cleaner. Please
follow the cleaning agent manufac-
turer’s instructions.

Troubleshooting
General problems or technical faults
Problem Cause and remedy
The hob or cooking
zones will not switch on.
There is no power to the hob.
Check whether the circuit breaker has tripped. Con-
tact a qualified electrician or the Miele Customer
Service Department (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 mains fuse or screw the fine-
wire fuse out completely, or
– Switch off at the residual current device.
If the hob will still not turn on after resetting the trip
switch in the fuse box or the residual current device,
contact a qualified electrician or the Miele Customer
Service Department.
A smell and vapours are
given off when the new
hob is being used.
The metal components have a protective coating.
When the hob is used for the first time, this causes a
smell and possibly also vapour. The material from
which the induction coils are made also gives off an
odour in the first few hours of operation. With each
subsequent use, the odour is reduced until it disap-
pears completely. The odour and any vapours given off
do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance and
they are not hazardous to health.
An operating noise can
be heard after the hob
has been switched off.
The cooling fan runs until the hob has cooled down
and then switches off automatically.
Various problems with
settings, e.g. problems
with networking
Changes to settings can lead to conflicts with each
other.
Fluctuations in the WiFi signal can lead to conflicts.
If you reset settings to factory defaults, existing
settings will be deleted.
Document existing settings to restore existing set-
tings.
Reset the settings to the factory defaults.
You can reset all settings or just individual settings
such as the WiFi settings.
