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.
Reliable and safe operation of this cooktop can only be assured if
it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The cooktop must not be connected to the inverter of an
autonomous power supply, e.g. a solar power system. When the
cooktop is switched on, power surges could result in a safety
switch-off. This may damage the electronic unit.
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.
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Warning and Safety instructions
8
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, available from Miele, by a
Miele authorised service technician or suitably 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.
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
9
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
10
Correct use
The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the
residual heat indicators go out.
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 heatresistant.
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.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
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.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
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.
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.
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 of the cooktop. Do
not store pointed or small items or paper 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 pans on a cooking zone or extended zone at the
same time.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
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!
Warning and Safety instructions
14
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”).
Caring for the environment
15
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

Before using for the first time
24
Please stick the extra data plate for
the appliance supplied with this
documentation in the space provided
in the “Service” section of this
booklet. Alternatively, the additional
label can be stuck near the appliance
if the appliance markings are not
visible after installation.
Remove any protective wrapping and
stickers (except the data plate).
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.
Induction
25
How it works
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 cooking zone only works
when a pan with a magnetic base is
placed on it (see “Induction -
Cookware”). Induction automatically
recognises the size of the pan.
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.
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. A sandwich base made of
stainless steel is particularly 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.
Induction
26
No pan/unsuitable pan display
Thesymbol flashes alternately with
the power level selected in one of the
cooking zone displays
– if the cooking zone has been
switched on without a pan in place,
or if the pan is unsuitable (non-
magnetic base).
– if the diameter of the base of the pan
is too small.
– if the pan is taken off the cooking
zone while it is switched on.
If a suitable pan is placed on the
cooking zone within 3minutes, will go
out and you can continue as normal.
If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed
on the cooking zone, the cooking zone
will switch off automatically after
3minutes.
Useful tips
– To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with a suitable
base diameter (see “Overview -
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 pans to move them.
This will help prevent scratching. If
any scratches do appear as a result
of pans 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 pans 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.
Induction
27
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.
On the higher power settings, the
appliance might buzz. This will
decrease or cease altogether when the
power setting 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.
Whistling might occur if linked 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 settings.
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.
Tips on saving energy
28
– Use a lid whenever possible to
minimise heat loss.
– Select a smaller pan when cooking
small quantities. A smaller pan uses
less energy than a larger pan with
very little in it.
– Cook with as little water as possible.
– Once food has come to the boil or
the oil in the pan is hot enough for
frying, reduce the heat to a lower
setting.
– Use a pressure cooker to reduce
cooking times.
Power level range
29
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 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.
Operation
30
Operating principles
This ceramic cooktop is equipped with
electronic sensor controls which react
to finger contact. For safety reasons,
when switching the appliance on, the
On/Off sensor needs to be touched
for a little longer than the other sensors.
Each time you touch a sensor, an
acoustic signal sounds.
When the cooktop is switched off, only
the printed sensor control symbols and
numbers on the keybank for setting the
power levels are visible. More sensor
controls light up when the cooktop is
switched on.
In order to set or alter a power level, the
cooking zones must be “active”. To
activate a cooking zone, touch the
indicator of the relevant cooking zone.
The relevant cooking zone indicator will
begin to flash when touched. While the
indicator is flashing, you can set or
adjust the power level or the duration.
Exception: If only one of the cooking
zones is in operation, you can alter the
power level without activating the
cooking zone.
Malfunction due to dirty and/or
covered sensor controls.
If the sensor controls are dirty or
covered this could cause them to fail
to react, to activate a function
inadvertently or even to switch the
appliance off automatically (see
“Safety features – Safety switch-
off”). Placing hot pans on the sensor
controls/indicators can damage the
electronic unit underneath.
Keep the sensor controls and
indicators clean.
Do not place anything over the
sensor control or indicators.
Do not place hot pans over the
sensor controls or indicators.

Booster
The cooking zones are equipped with a
Booster or TwinBooster (see “Overview
- Cooktop”).
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.
The Booster function can be used on a
maximum of two cooking zones at the
same time.
The cooking zone will automatically
revert to power level9 at the end of the
Booster time.
In each case two cooking zones are
linked together in order to provide
sufficient power for the Booster. While
the Booster is in operation some of the
power is taken away from the linked
cooking zone. This has one of the
following effects:
– Auto heat-up is deactivated.
– The power level is reduced.
– The linked cooking zone is switched
off.

Cleaning and care
48
Risk of burning due to hot
surfaces!
The cooking zones will be hot after
use.
Switch the cooktop off.
Allow the cooking zones to cool
down before cleaning the cooktop.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaner
could reach electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the cooktop.
The use of unsuitable cleaning
agents can cause the surfaces to
discolour or alter. All surfaces are
susceptible to scratching.
Remove any residual cleaning agent
immediately.
Never use abrasive sponges or
cleaning agents.
Clean the cooktop after every use.
Dry the cooktop thoroughly after
every cleaning to avoid limescale
residue.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the
appliance, do not use:
– washing-up liquid,
– cleaning agents containing soda,
alkalines, ammonia, acids or
chlorides,
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents,
– stain and rust removers,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners,
– solvent-based cleaning agents,
– dishwasher cleaner,
– grill and oven cleaners,
– glass cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g. pot scourers), or sponges which
have been previously used and still
contain abrasive cleaning agents,
– dirt erasers.
Cleaning and care
49
Cleaning the ceramic surface
Risk of damage by pointed
objects.
The seal between the cooktop and
the worktop could be damaged.
The seal between the ceramic
surface and the frame could be
damaged.
Do not use pointed objects for
cleaning.
Do not use washing-up liquid to
clean the appliance. Using washing-
up liquid will not remove all soiling
and residues. An invisible film can
develop that can lead to
discolouration of the ceramic glass
surface. This discolouration cannot
be removed.
Clean the ceramic surface regularly
with a proprietary ceramic glass
cleaning agent.
Remove any coarse soiling with a
damp cloth and more stubborn
soiling with a glass scraper.
Then clean the ceramic glass surface
with the Miele ceramic and stainless
steel cooktop cleaner (see “Optional
accessories”) or with a proprietary
ceramic glass cleaner applied with
paper towel or a clean cloth. Do not
apply the cleaner while the cooktop is
still hot, as this can result in marking.
Please follow the cleaning agent
manufacturer's instructions.
Finally wipe the cooktop with a damp
cloth and dry it with a soft, dry cloth.
Residues can burn onto the cooktop
the next time it is used and cause
damage to the glass ceramic surface.
Ensure that all cleaner residues are
removed.
Spots caused by limescale, water
and aluminium residues (spots with a
metallic appearance) can be removed
using the Miele ceramic and stainless
steel cooktop cleaner.
Risk of burning due to hot
surfaces!
The cooking zones are hot during
use.
Wear oven gloves when removing
residues of sugar, plastic or
aluminium foil from a hot cooktop
with a glass scraper.
Should any sugar, plastic or
aluminium foil spill or fall onto a hot
cooking zone while it is in use, first
switch off the appliance.
Then carefully scrape off these
residues immediately whilst they are
still hot, using a shielded scraper
blade suitable for use on glass.
Afterwards, clean the ceramic surface
in its cooled state, as described
above.
Problem solving guide

not dissolve or distort. Any splashbacks must be of heat-resistant
material.
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 ovens unless these
have 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.
Carefully observe the safety clearances listed on the following
pages.

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 600mm
must be maintained.
For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil
rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety
distance of 600mm must be
maintained between these objects and
the highest part of the cooktop below.
When two or more appliances which
have different safety distances are
installed together below a
rangehood, observe the greatest
specified safety distance.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
57
Safety distances to the sides and
back of the appliance
The minimum distance shown below
must be maintained between the back
edge of the cooktop and a tall unit or
wall.
Ideally the cooktop should be installed
with plenty of space on either side.
There may be a wall at the rear or a tall
unit or wall on one side (right or left),
taking into account the distances
below. On the other side, however, no
tall unit or wall should stand closer than
300mm to the edge of the cooktop.
Before installing the cooktop, check
that the below clearance requirements
are met.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
back edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.
Minimum 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
the cooktop
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 gap between the
underside of the cooktop and
– the top edge of an oven: 15mm
– the top edge of an interim shelf:
15mm
– the top edge of a drawer: 5mm
– the base of a drawer: 75mm
Interim shelf
It is not necessary to fit an interim shelf
underneath the cooktop but one may
be fitted if you wish.
Leave a gap of 10mm at the back
between the cabinet and the interim
shelf to accommodate the power
cable.
A gap of 20mm is recommended at the
front between the cabinet and interim
shelf for better ventilation of the
cooktop.

Installation notes
Seal between the cooktop and the
worktop
Damage caused by incorrect
installation.
Using sealant under the cooktop
could result in damage to the
cooktop and the worktop if the
cooktop ever needs to be removed
for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the
cooktop and the worktop.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the cooktop provides a sufficient seal
for the worktop.
Tiled worktop
Grout lines and the hatched area
underneath the cooktop frame must be
smooth and even. If they are not, the
cooktop will not sit flush with the
worktop and the sealing strip
underneath the cooktop will not provide
a good seal between the cooktop and
the worktop.
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.

Installation
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.
Risk of damage from incorrect
connection.
The electronics of the cooktop may
be damaged if a short-circuit occurs.
The mains connection cable must be
connected to the cooktop by a
qualified electrician.
Connect the mains connection cable
by following the instructions in the
wiring diagram on the cooktop (see
“Installation – Electrical connection”).
Feed the mains connection cable
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.
Connect the cooktop to the electricity
supply (see “Installation – Electrical
connection”).
Check that the cooktop works.
