burning on, remove any soiling as  
quickly as possible and ensure that pan  
bases are clean, dry and free of  
grease.  
Do not use pots and pans on the  
~
ceramic hob with bases with  
pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast  
iron pans. These could scratch or scour  
the hob surface permanently.  
Do not drop anything on the ceramic  
~
surface. Even a light object could  
cause damage in certain  
circumstances.  
Never heat an empty pan unless  
~
the manufacturer of the pan expressly  
states that you can do so. This could  
damage the appliance.  
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean  
~
this appliance. The steam could reach  
the electrical components and cause a  
short circuit.  
Keep the hob clean. Grains of salt,  
~
sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning  
Never place hot pans on the area

sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium  
foil to get onto the cooking zones when  
they are hot. If this should occur, switch  
off the appliance, and carefully scrape  
off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium  
residues from the hob whilst they are  
still hot, using a shielded scaper blade.  
Take care not to burn yourself.  
If residues are allowed to cool before  
being removed, the ceramic surface  
will be susceptible to pitting or even  
cracking.  
Once the residues have been removed,  
allow the cooking zone to cool down,  
and then clean with a suitable  
proprietary ceramic hob cleaner.

Warning and safety instructions  
Protection from burning and  
scalding  
Do not cover the appliance, e.g.

when in use, and remains hot for quite  
a while after being switched off. There  
is a danger of burning until the residual  
heat indicators go out.  
If oil or fat catches fire, do not  
~
attempt to put out the flames with water.  
Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan  
lid, damp towel or similar to smother the  
flames.  
For added protection, it is advisable  
~
to use heat-resistant pot holders or  
gloves when using the appliance. Do  
not let them get damp or wet, as this  
causes heat to transfer through the  
material more quickly with the risk of  
scalding or burning yourself.  
Do not flambé under a cooker hood.  
~
The flames could set the cooker hood  
on fire.  
Do not heat up unopened tins of  
~
food on the hob, as pressure will build  
up in the tin and it can explode. This  
could result in injury and scalding or  
damage.  
Do not use the appliance as a  
~
resting place for anything else. When  
the appliance is switched on either  
deliberately or by mistake, or when  
there is residual heat present, there is  
the risk of metal objects heating up,  
with a danger of burning.  
Depending on the material, other  
objects left on the hob could also melt  
or catch fire.  
Damp pan lids might adhere to the  
ceramic surface and be difficult to  
dislodge.  
Switch the cooking zones off after use.

Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly,  
could be potentially hazardous to  
human health and to the environment.  
They are, however, essential for the  
correct functioning of your appliance.  
Please do not therefore dispose of it  
with your household waste.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for  
disposal, and can normally be  
recycled.  
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!  
Rather than just throwing these  
materials away, please ensure they are  
offered for recycling.  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection/recycling  
centre, and ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
It should be disconnected from the  
mains electricity supply by a competent  
person.

appliance.  
Before using for the first time, clean the  
appliance with a damp cloth only and  
then wipe dry.  
Metal components have a protective  
coating which may give off a slight  
smell when heated up for the first time.  
Do not use washing up liquid to  
clean the ceramic surface as it can  
leave a blue sheen which may be  
difficult to remove.  
The smell and any fumes given off do  
not mean that the appliance is  
defective or has been wrongly installed,  
and they are not harmful to health.

(vario) cooking zones and extended  
zones have two. Depending on the  
model, the heating elements may be  
separated by an isolating ring.  
Single circle zone  
Each cooking zone has overheating  
protection (a temperature limiter), which  
stops the ceramic surface from  
becoming too hot (see "Overheating  
protection").  
aOverheating protection  
When a power level is selected, the  
heat switches on and the element can  
be seen through the ceramic surface.  
bHeating element  
The heat output of the cooking zones  
depends on the power level selected,  
and is electronically regulated. This  
controls the "timing" of a cooking zone,  
switching the element on and off.

Operation  
Sensors  
Switching on  
This hob is equipped with electronic  
sensors which react to finger contact.  
To operate a cooking zone, touch the  
relevant sensor. Each time you touch a  
sensor, an audible tone sounds.  
The hob must be switched on before  
any of the zones can be used.  
Do not leave the appliance  
unattended whilst it is being used.  
To switch the hob on:  
^ Touch the ON/OFF sensor s.  
0 appears in each of the cooking zone  
displays. If no further entry is made, the  
hob will switch itself off after a few  
seconds for safety reasons.  
To switch a cooking zone on:  
^ Select a power setting between 1 and  
9 by touching the - or + sensor.  
To select cooking with Auto heat-up,  
press the - sensor first (see "Auto  
heat-up"). To select cooking without  
Auto heat-up, press the + sensor first.  
Take care only to touch the middle  
of the sensor required. Keep the  
control panel clean, and do not  
place anything on top of it. The  
sensors may fail to react or they  
could mistake the article or any dirt  
for a fingertip contact, thereby  
activating a function or even causing  
the hob to switch off automatically  
(see Safety switch-off.)  
If you wish to switch on another  
cooking zone, and the 0 for that zone  
has already gone out, simply press the  
- or + briefly. The 0 will reappear and  
you can select a power setting (with or  
without Auto heat-up).  
Never place hot pans on the sensor  
switches. The electronic unit  
underneath could get damaged.

alternately with the continued cooking  
setting until the heat-up time has  
finished.  
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. The heat-up time depends on  
which continued cooking setting has  
been chosen (see chart).

29  
Operation  
Pans  
– Place pans carefully into position on  
the hob. Sliding them across the  
surface can cause scuffs and  
scratches.  
– Pans made from any material can be  
used on a ceramic hob.  
– However, the best pans are those  
with a thick base which is very  
slightly concave when cold. When  
heated, the base flattens to rest  
evenly on the hob, optimising the  
conduction of the heat.  
– Check that the diameter of the pan  
base is wide enough for the cooking  
zone so that heat is not lost  
unnecessarily. 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.  
Cold  
Hot  
– Pans made of glass, ceramic or  
stoneware are less suitable, as they  
do not conduct the heat so well.  
Too small  
Suitable  
– Do not use pots and pans on the  
ceramic hob with bases with  
pronounced edges or ridges, e.g.  
cast iron pans. These could scratch  
or scour the hob surface  
permanently.  
30  
Operation  
Tips on saving energy  
– Use as little water as possible to  
cook with, and reduce the power  
setting once the water has come to  
the boil or the oil is hot enough to fry  
in.  
– Use a pan lid whenever possible to  
minimise heat loss.  
– When cooking for a long time, switch  
the cooking zone off about 5 to 10  
minutes before the end of the  
cooking time. In this way, use is  
made of the residual heat.  
Uncovered  
Covered  
– Select a smaller pan when cooking  
small quantities. A small pan on a  
small cooking zone uses less energy  
than a large, partially filled pan on a  
large cooking zone.

Safety features  
Safety lock  
To activate the safety lock:  
Keep children away from the hob for  
their own safety.  
^ Touch the safety lock sensor $ until  
the relevant indicator lamp comes on.  
Your appliance is equipped with a  
safety lock to prevent the hob and the  
cooking zones being switched on or  
any settings being altered.  
The indicator lamp will go out after a  
short while.  
The lamp will come on again to show  
that the safety lock has been activated,  
if  
The safety lock can be activated when  
the hob is switched off as well as when  
it is in use.  
– you touch the safety lock $ sensor.  
– you try to change a setting.  
If the safety lock is activated when the  
hob is switched off, then the hob  
cannot be switched on.  
To deactivate the safety lock:  
^ Touch the safety lock sensor $ until  
the indicator lamp goes out.  
If the safety lock is activated when the  
hob is in use:  
– The power levels for the cooking  
zones and the timer settings cannot  
be altered.  
You can alter the setting from one  
finger to three finger operation (see  
"Programming - P4") to make it harder  
for children to operate the appliance.  
– The cooking zones and hob can be  
switched off but once switched off  
cannot be switched on again.  
Please note that the safety lock will  
deactivate if there is a power cut.  
32  
Safety features  
Stop and Go  
To deactivate Stop and Go:  
Your appliance has a Stop and Go  
feature which, when activated, reduces  
the power of all switched on cooking  
zones to setting 1. When Stop and Go is  
deactivated, the cooking zones resume  
at the power level which was last set.  
If Stop and Go is not deactivated, the  
hob switches off after 1 hour.  
^ Touch the $ sensor until the indicator  
lamp goes out.  
The cooking zones will now run at the  
level that was previously set.  
If you wish to use this feature, you will  
need to alter the factory setting (see  
"Programming - P5").  
To activate Stop and Go:  
^ Touch the $ sensor until you hear  
two consecutive beeps.  
Be careful not to continue touching  
the $ sensor for too long, as this will  
activate the safety lock.  
The indicator lamp for the safety lock  
will start to flash. The power of the  
cooking zones in use will be reduced to  
setting 1, and a 1 will appear in the  
corresponding cooking zone displays.  
If automatic switch-off is programmed  
for a cooking zone, activating Stop and  
Go will interrupt the count down to the  
switch-off time. When Stop and Go is  
deactivated, the automatic switch-off  
programme time will continue to run  
without further interruption.  
If a minute minder time has been set,  
this will continue running and will not be  
affected by Stop and Go.  
33  
Safety features  
Safety switch-off  
Safety switch-off if the sensors are

Your hob will switch off automatically if  
one or several of the sensors remain  
covered for longer than 10 seconds, for  
example, by finger contact, food boiling  
over or by an object such as an oven  
glove or tea towel.  
Your hob is fitted with a safety  
switch-off feature in case you forget to  
switch it off yourself.  
If one of the cooking zones is heated  
for an unusually long period of time  
(see chart), and the power settings are  
not altered, the hob will switch itself off  
automatically and the appropriate  
residual heat indicator will appear.  
An audible tone will sound every 30  
seconds (for a maximum of ten  
minutes) and an F will flash in the  
display for the sensor which is covered.

Safety features  
Overheating protection  
Overheating can be caused by:  
Each cooking zone is equipped with  
overheating protection. An internal  
temperature limiter switches off the  
heating elements in the cooking zone  
before the ceramic surface overheats.  
– switching on a cooking zone without  
a pan on it.  
– heating up an empty pan.  
– the base of a pan not sitting evenly  
on the cooking zone.

38  
Cleaning and care  
For Miele branded cleaning and  
conditioning products see "Optional  
accessories".  
The appliance should be cleaned after  
each use. Allow the hob to cool down  
before cleaning.  
Wipe all coarse soiling off using a  
damp cloth. Stubborn soiling may need  
to be removed with a shielded scraper  
blade.  
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean  
this appliance. The steam could  
reach electrical components and  
cause a short circuit.  
Finally, clean the hob with a suitable  
proprietary ceramic hob cleaner (see  
"Optional accessories") applied with  
kitchen paper or a clean cloth. Do not  
apply cleaner whilst the hob is still hot,  
as this could result in marking. Please  
follow the manufacturer's instructions.  
Only use proprietary cleaning  
products which are suitable for  
cleaning ceramic hobs. Never use  
cleaners containing sand, soda,  
alkalis, acids or chlorides, oven  
sprays, dishwasher cleaner, nor  
steel wool, abrasive cleaning  
agents, hard brushes, scouring  
pads and cloths. You should also  
avoid using sponges etc. which  
have previously been used with  
abrasive cleaning agents, as this will  
damage the surface.  
Finally wipe the appliance with a damp  
cloth, and then dry it with a clean, soft  
cloth. Ensure that all cleaning agent  
residues are removed. Residues can  
burn onto the hob the next time it is  
used, and cause damage to the  
ceramic surface.  
Do not use washing up liquid to  
clean the ceramic surface, as it can  
leave a blue sheen which may be  
difficult to remove.  
Do not use sharp objects which may  
damage the seals between the  
ceramic surface and the frame or  
between the frame and the worktop.  
To prevent the risk of spillages  
burning on, remove any soiling as  
soon as possible, and ensure that  
pan bases are clean, dry and free of  
grease.  
39  
Cleaning and care  
Spots caused by limescale deposits,  
water and aluminium residues (which  
have a metalic appearance) can be  
removed using the ceramic hob  
cleaner.  
Appliances with aluminium frames  
(see data plate) are prone to  
scratching, alkali and acid damage.  
Take great care when cleaning the  
aluminium frame. Do not use cleaning  
agents for stainless steel or descaling  
agents on aluminium surfaces. Soiling  
should be wiped off as soon as  
possible after using the appliance. If  
the soiling is left for a long time it can  
have a damaging effect on the  
Should any sugar, plastic or  
aluminium foil spill or fall on to a hot  
cooking zone, first switch off the  
appliance. Then carefully scrape off all  
the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues  
from the hob whilst they are still hot  
using a shielded scraper blade. Take  
care not to burn yourself.  
aluminium surfaces. Intensive cleaning  
with proprietary ceramic hob cleaners  
can cause the frame to take on a shiny  
appearance.  
Allow the cooking zone to cool down,  
and then clean as described above  
with a suitable proprietary ceramic hob  
cleaner.

To test the power level  
You can test the power level of a  
cooking zone by measuring how long it  
takes to bring a specific amount of  
water to the boil.  
^ Take a note of the diameter and  
wattage of the cooking zone to be  
tested (see "Guide to the appliance -  
Cooking zones").  
The pan (and lid) must be stainless  
steel or enamel. The diameter of the  
pan must match the cooking zone, and  
be flat-bottomed or slightly concave.  
^ Fill the pan with the quantity of water  
given in the table.  
^ Place the pan with its lid on the  
cooking zone.  
^ Switch on the cooking zone at the  
highest setting.  
^ Note the time it takes for the water to  
boil.  
The power level for the cooking zone is  
fine if the water boils within the time  
given in the table.  
The time can vary if:  
- there is low or excess voltage  
- very cold water is used  
- an unsuitable pan is used  
- the pan is not covered.

Safety instructions for  
installation  
The hob may not be built in over a  
~
fridge, fridge-freezer, freezer,  
dishwasher, washing machine or  
tumble dryer.  
Fit the wall units and extractor hood  
before fitting the hob to avoid  
damaging the appliance.  
After installing the hob, ensure that  
~
the connection cable cannot come into  
contact with the underside of the  
appliance. Make sure that there is no  
mechanical obstruction, such as a  
drawer, 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.  
Observe carefully the safety  
~
distances given on the following pages.  
Any backmoulds must be of  
heat-resistant material.  
Do not use any sealant unless  
~
expressly instructed to do so. The  
sealing strip under the edge of the top  
part of the hob provides a sufficient  
seal for the worktop (see "Sealant").  
This equipment may only be used in  
~
mobile installations such as ships,  
caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk  
assessment has been carried out by a  
suitably qualified engineer.  
All dimensions in this instruction booklet  
are given in mm.  
50  
Installation  
Safety distance above the hob  
When two or more appliances are  
installed together below a cooker hood,  
e.g. an electric hob and a gas wok  
combiset, which have different safety  
distances given in the installation  
instructions you should select the  
greater distance of the two.  
A minimum safety distance must be  
maintained between the hob and the  
cooker hood above it. See the cooker  
hood manufacturer’s operating and  
installation instructions for details.  
If the manufacturer's instructions are  
not available for the cooker hood, a  
minimum safety distance of at least  
760 mm must be maintained. For any  
flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails,  
wall units etc. a minimum distance of at  
least 760 mm must be maintained  
between it and the hob below.  
51  
Installation  
Safety distances to the sides of the  
hob  
Ideally the hob should be installed with  
plenty of space on either side. There  
may be a wall at the rear and a tall unit  
or wall at one side. On the other side,  
however, no unit or divider should stan-  
d higher than the hob (see illustrations).  
The following minimum distances  
should be adhered to for safety  
reasons:  
recommended  
– 50 mm to the right or left of the  
worktop cut-out to the nearest piece  
of furniture (e.g. tall unit).  
KM 543/547 requires a 70 mm gap to  
the left.  
– 50 mm from the worktop cut-out to  
the rear wall.

Installation  
Safety distance when installing the appliance near a wall with additional  
niche cladding  
A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the worktop cut-out and  
any niche cladding to protect it from heat damage.  
If the niche cladding is made from a combustible material (e. g. wood) a  
minimum safety distance e of 50 mm must be maintained between the cut-out  
and the cladding.  
If the niche cladding is made from a non-combustible material (e. g. metal,  
natural stone, ceramic tiles) a minimum safety distance e of 50 mm less the  
thickness of the cladding must be maintained between the cut-out and the  
cladding.  
Example: 15 mm niche cladding  
50 mm - 15 mm = minimum safety distance of 35 mm

Installation  
Preparing the worktop  
Hobs with frames:  
^ Make the worktop cut-out following  
the dimensions applicable.  
If, during installation, you find that  
the seals on the corners of the frame  
are not flush with the worktop, the  
corner radius ß R4, can be carefully  
scribed to suit.  
Remember to maintain a minimum  
safety distance of 50 mm from the  
back wall, as well as from any side  
wall to the right or left of the hob (in  
the case of the KM 543/547, the  
minimum distance from a side wall to  
the left should be 70 mm). See  
"Safety instructions for installation".  
Hobs with bevelled edges:  
These hobs have a seal underneath  
them to keep the hob securely in  
position. Any gap between the frame  
and worktop will reduce with time.  
^ Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable  
heat-resistant sealant to avoid  
swelling caused by moisture.  
The materials used must be  
heat-resistant.

Installation  
Fixing the spring clamps and safety  
brackets  
Worktops made of wood, Corian and  
Askilan etc.  
^ Position the spring clamps a and the  
safety brackets e (only supplied with  
bevelled edge hobs) in the positions  
shown in the illustrations (see  
75  
"Building-in dimensions") by placing  
them on or flush with the upper edge  
of the cut-out as illustrated, and then  
secure them with the 3.5 x 25 mm  
screws supplied.

Installation  
Installing the hob  
Worktops made of Wood, Corian and  
Askilan etc.  
^ Feed the hob connection cable down  
through the cut-out.  
^ Lightly position the hob on the spring  
clamps a.  
^ Using both hands, press down  
evenly on the sides of the hob until it  
clicks into position. When doing this  
make sure that the seal under the  
hob sits flush with the worktop on all  
sides. This is important to ensure an  
effective seal all round. Do not use  
sealant.  
Granite and marble worktops  
^ Connect the hob to the mains.  
^ Check that the hob works.  
The hob can now only be removed  
with a special tool.  
64  
Installation  
Mains connection box  
The connection box can be positioned  
as follows:  
– placed in base unit underneath the  
hob  
– on the side wall of a base unit  
underneath the hob  
– on the wall behind a base unit  
– in a neighbouring unit.  
A minimum safety distance of  
150 mm must be maintained  
between the connection box and the  
hob and also between the  
connection box and any source of  
heat, e.g. a cooker or oven.  
65  
Installation  
Sealant  
Tiled worktop  
Grout lines a 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.  
Do not use any sealant unless  
expressly instructed to do so. The  
sealing strip under the edge of the top  
part of the hob provides a sufficient  
seal for the worktop.  
Do not use sealant between the  
frame of the top part of the hob and  
the worktop.  
This could cause difficulties if the  
hob ever needs to be taken out for  
servicing and possibly result in  
damage to the frame or the worktop.
