When frying food, make sure that  
the food is as dry as possible be-  
fore placing it in the oil. Moisture can  
cause hot oil to splatter and boil over.  
Glazed cookware -  
Only certain types of glass,  
glass/ceramic, ceramic earthenware, or  
other glazed pots and pans are suitable  
for range-top service without breaking  
due to sudden change in temperature.  
Do not flambé under an exhaust  
hood. Flames could be drawn up  
into the hood by the suction and pos-  
sibly cause the grease filters to ignite.  
Do not heat unopened food con-  
tainers. Build-up pressure may  
cause the container to burst and result  
in injury.  
Do not let cooking grease or other  
flammable materials accumulate  
on the appliance.  
Never leave surface units unat-  
tended at high heat settings. Boil-  
overs cause smoking and greasy  
spillovers may ignite.

ance when not in use. Items could  
melt or catch fire from residual heat or if  
the cooktop is turned on inadvertently.  
If there is a drawer directly under-  
neath the appliance without any  
wooden base in between, ensure that  
no aerosols, combustible liquids or  
other easily flammable materials are  
kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be  
placed in the drawer, they must be  
made of heat-resistant material.

changing of the settings.  
^ Press the main "s" touch control (l)  
until the dot above it goes out.  
To lock the burners:  
Keep the area around the touch  
controls clean at all times. Clean up  
boilovers and spills as soon as pos-  
sible. Dirt or utensils placed on the  
controls may activate them.  
^ Press the "a" touch control (k) until  
a dot lights up above it.  
To turn the lock off:  
^ Press the "a" touch control (k) until

careful not to accidentally turn it  
"On".  
Automatic shut off  
If the cooktop is left "On" longer than  
normal cooking generally requires, it  
will turn itself off automatically. The  
amount of time required, between 1  
and 10 hours for this feature to activate  
depends on the power setting selected.  
The lower the setting, the longer it will  
take to shut off. In addition, each burner  
is equipped with a safety thermostat  
that will shut it off if the ceramic surface  
should overheat.

Length of pre-heating  
The length of the pre-heat cycle de-  
pends upon the cooking power that is  
set. When using Settings 1 - 5, food is  
usually placed in the pot before setting  
it on the cooktop. To compensate for  
the added mass of the food, the pre-  
heat time is increased as the cooking  
power is increased.  
Settings 6 - 8 are generally used for fry-  
ing or roasting where the pan needs to  
be brought up to temperature before  
the food is introduced. For this reason  
the pre-heat times are shorter.  
To Turn on "automatic pre-heat":  
^ Turn on the cooktop by pressing the  
"s" touch control (l) until a dot  
lights up above it. A "" will appear in  
the display.  
^ Turn on the desired burner by press-  
ing its "s" touch control. A "0" will ap-  
pear in its display.  
^ Press the "$" control once. A "9" will  
appear in the display.  
^ Press the "&" control once. A "9." will  
be displayed. The automatic pre-heat  
feature is now selected. You now  
have 1 second to select the desired  
cooking temperature. If time elapses  
before a temperature is set, the  
"automatic pre-heat" feature will be  
canceled.  
^ Use the "$" touch control to set the  
desired cooking temperature. Once  
the burner has stabilized at this tem-  
perature, the dot will disappear from  
the display.

Selecting cookware  
The cooking surface  
Pots and pans  
Your ceramic cooktop is made of an  
extremely hard and durable material  
that should give you many years of use  
Special cookware is not required, but  
as is true with all types of cooking ap-  
pliances, the better the cookware, the  
under normal conditions. The surface is better the performance.  
scratch resistant, not scratch proof.  
Following these tips will allow you to  
make the most of your ceramic  
cooktop.  
Avoid using cookware with ridged bot-  
toms. Ridged pots with dirty or chipped  
enamel bottoms may scratch the  
cooktop if they are pulled across the  
ceramic surface.  
Make sure the cooktop and pot bottoms  
are clean before cooking. Certain  
items, particularly sugar grains or  
crystallized liquids such as molasses or  
syrups are actually harder than ceramic  
and can scratch the surface if they are  
not cleaned off immediately. Small or  
light scratches will not affect the safety  
or performance of the cooktop however.  
– For the most even and energy effi-  
cient cooking, the diameter of the  
pots should match the diameter of  
the burners as closely as possible.  
The burner rings and touch controls are  
fused into the ceramic glass and are re-  
sistant to wear if properly maintained.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads,  
as they may eventually wear off the  
rings.  
– Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth  
bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms  
will also work adequately. Pans with  
convex bottoms will not cook well.  
Any melted solids (e.g. sugar, plas-  
tic, syrup, aluminium foil, etc.)  
should be removed as quickly as  
possible and while the burner is still  
warm. If they are allowed to harden,  
the cooktop may become pitted.  
Scrape the melted item off the  
cooktop using a razor blade scraper.  
Once the cooktop has cooled,  
remove any remaining residue using  
a ceramic cooktop cleaner.  
17  
 
Selecting cookware  
– Sometimes what appear to be  
scratches are not. Metallic lines such  
as those left by copper or aluminum  
pans can be removed using a  
non-abrasive ceramic cooktop  
cleaner. Let the cooktop cool before  
cleaning.  
– Cast iron, glass or stoneware should  
not be used because they have poor  
heat transfer and may scratch the  
surface.  
– Using a lid while cooking will mini-  
mize the loss of heat and decrease  
the cooking time.  
18  
Cleaning and care  
Use a product suitable for cleaning  
ceramic cooking surfaces. If you have  
difficulty locating a suitable product,  
contact Miele’s Technical Service  
Department. Do not use glass cleaners  
on the cooktop. They leave a residue  
that can fuse onto and stain the  
cooktop when cooking at high temper-  
atures.  
Never use abrasive cleaners, scour-  
ing pads, steel wool or caustic  
(oven) cleaners. They will damage  
the cooktop surface.  
Do not clean the joints between the  
cooktop frame and countertop or  
cooktop frame and glass with a  
pointed or sharp object. You may  
damage the seal.  
^ Baked on or hardened spills can be  
carefully scraped off using a razor  
blade scraper. Once removed, wipe  
off the cooktop with a damp sponge.  
^ Clean the cooktop after each use.  
Using a fresh paper towel will avoid  
the possibility of transferring grit from  
the countertop to the cooktop sur-  
face. Clean cloths or sponges can  
also be used.  
^ Metallic lines such as those left by  
copper or aluminum pans can be re-  
moved using a non-abrasive ceramic  
cooktop cleaner. Let the cooktop cool  
before cleaning.  
^ Lime deposits or spots caused by  
pots boiling over can sometimes be  
removed by using a cloth or sponge  
and white vinegar. Cooktop cleaners  
can also be used.  
^ Some spilt liquids (soups, sauces,  
etc.) may leave a light blue stain on  
the cooktop surface. These stains  
can be removed using a ceramic  
cooktop cleaner. They can be stub-  
born and may require several appli-  
cations of cleaner.  
When cleaning the cooktop, make  
sure the cooktop is "Off", and be  
careful not to accidentally turn it  
"On". Placing items on the touch  
controls or rubbing a cloth across  
them may accidentally activate a  
burner.  
19  
 
Cleaning and care  
Removing melted sugar, syrup, Using cooktop cleaners  
plastic or aluminum foil  
Some cleaners incorporate a silicon  
agent that will leave a protective coat-  
ing on the cooktop. Although not re-  
quired, they can also be used. High  
temperatures reduce the effectiveness  
of these coatings, so they will have to  
be reapplied occasionally.  
These items should be removed as  
soon as possible while the cooktop is  
still warm. Scrape the melted item off  
the cooktop using a razor blade  
scraper. Once the cooktop has cooled,  
remove any remaining residue using a  
ceramic cooktop cleaner.  
Always follow the manufacturer’s  
instructions on the cleaner label. Do  
not use the cleaner on hot surfaces.  
Remove any cleaner residues with a  
damp sponge before turning on the  
burner. Failure to do so may cause  
scratches.

Frequently asked questions  
. . . a burner shuts off during use and  
"H" flashes in the display?  
Repairs to the electrical components  
of this appliance should only be  
performed by a trained technician.  
Repairs by unauthorized personnel  
could cause personal injury or  
damage the cooktop.  
If a burner has been on for an extended  
period of time, it will automatically shut  
itself off and flash an "H" in the display.  
This time will range from 1 to 10 hours  
depending on the setting selected.  
Some minor problems can be resolved  
as follows:  
To reset the burner:  
^ Select "0" first, then select the desired  
cooking setting.  
What if . . .  
An "H" flashing in the display after the  
burner has been manually shut off is  
normal. This is the residual heat indica-  
tor telling you that the burner is still hot.  
. . . you notice a slight odor when us-  
ing the cooktop for the first time?  
This is normal. The residual moisture in  
the internal insulation is drying out. The  
odor should disappear after one or two  
uses.  
. . . food does not cook satisfactorily  
when using the automatic pre-heat  
feature?  
^ Check that the cooking setting is  
correct for the pans being used and  
the items being cooked.  
. . . a burner will not turn on?  
Check to see if the cooktop has been  
"locked" (see "Locking a burner").  
^ If the pots have poor or slow heat  
transfer qualities, they will take longer  
to reach cooking temperature than  
the burners. In this case, the pots  
should be allowed to heat up before  
placing the food in them, or a higher  
cooking setting should be chosen.  
^ Make sure the cooktop is connected  
to the main power supply and that  
the circuit breaker has not tripped.

Installation Instructions  
Please read this section in its  
entirety before installing the  
cooktop.  
The rated load and voltage are  
printed on the data plate. Make sure  
they match those of the main power  
supply.  
As a general rule there must be at  
least 30" (760 mm) between the top  
of the appliance and any object  
above it. If the manufacturer of said  
object recommends a different  
distance, follow that manufacturer’s  
recommendation.  
Ideally, the cooktop should be installed  
with no walls (other than the rear wall)  
or tall cabinets directly adjacent to it. It  
can be installed next to one wall,  
however, as long as the spacings listed  
below are maintained.  
To avoid damaging the cooktop, it  
should only be placed in the  
countertop after any exhaust hood  
or cabinetry have been installed  
above it.  
Do not install the cooktop directly  
above a dishwasher, refrigerator or  
freezer. Heat radiated by the  
cooktop may damage them.

If the cooktop is installed above an  
oven, make sure the cooktop’s  
power cord does not come into  
contact with the oven.  
When installing cooktops, keep in  
mind that they will radiate some heat  
sideways as well as straight up. For  
this reason, the recommended  
distances from the surrounding  
cabinets must be maintained for  
safety reasons.  
To reduce the risk of burns when reach-  
ing over the cooktop, avoid installing  
the cooktop below wall mounted cabi-  
nets.  
If cabinets are installed above the  
cooktop, the risk of burns can be re-  
duced by installing an exhaust hood  
that extends at least 5" (13 cm) beyond  
the bottom of the cabinet.  
Do not install the cooktop into an  
area between two walls or cabinets.  
One side of the cooktop must be  
open to air flow or the danger of fire  
will exist.
