the control panel.
13
Resetting the touch controls
Automatic reset
Manual reset
To ensure the cooktop functions
properly the touch controls will
automatically reset:
^ Make sure no direct light (sun or
artificial) beams on the cooktop. The
surrounding area of the cooktop
should not be completely shaded or
brightly lit.
– when the cooktop is connected to
the electrical supply.
^ Make sure the cooktop and the touch
controls are not covered. Remove all
pots and pans and clean the cooktop
if necessary.
– if there is an interruption to the
electrical supply, and
– during use in response to changing
light conditions.

Induction
Function
If suitable cookware is placed on the
burner within 3 minutes, the ß symbol
goes out.
An induction coil is installed beneath
each burner. If a burner is turned on,
the coil produces a magnetic field,
which operates directly on the
cookware bottom and heats it. The
burner is indirectly heated by the heat
radiated from the pot.
If no or unsuitable cookware is used,
the burner and cooktop are turned off
automatically after 3 minutes.
Do not place knives, forks or spoons
etc., or other metallic items on the
cooktop. If the cooktop is switched
on, or if there is residual heat
present, the metallic items can heat
up and cause burning. Remember
that metallic items can cause the
burner to heat up unintentionally!
Switch the cooktop off after use.
Burners with induction operate only
when cookware with a magnetizable
bottom is placed on them, see
"Selecting cookware".
The induction considers automatically
the size of the placed cookware, which
means it operates only in the area of
the surface covered by the cookware
bottom.
The burner does not operate
– when turned on without or with
unsuitable cookware (cookware
without magnetizable bottom).
– when the bottom diameter of the
placed cookware is too small.
– when the cookware is removed from
a turned on burner.
The symbol ß alternating with 0 or the
last set power level will flash in the
burner display.
15
Induction
Sounds
– Buzzing can be heard at high power
levels. It will quiet down or go out,
when the power level is turned down.
When operating induction burners, the
following sounds can occur depending
on the material of the cookware base:
– Crackling occurs when the
cookware has a base made from
several materials, e.g. sandwich
bottom.
– Whistling can occur, when
connected burners (see "Booster
function) are operated on the highest
power level and cookware with a
base made from several materials
are used.
– Clicking can occur during electronic
switching operations, especially at
lower power levels.
– Whizzing: To extend the electronic
durability, the appliance is fitted with
a cooling fan. If the cooktop is
intensively used, the fan is turned on
and a whirring sounds. The cooling
fan will continue to run after the
cooktop was turned off.
16
Selecting cookware
Suitable cookware
Cookware size
– Stainless steel with magnetizable
bottom
For optimum burner use, select the size
of the cookware so it fits between the
inner and outer marking of the burner. If
the pot is smaller than the inner
marking, the induction may not operate.
The burner reacts, as if no cookware
was placed on it.
– Enameled steel
– Cast iron
Unsuitable cookware
– Stainless steel with non magnetizable Please note that cookware diameters
bottom
given by the manufacturer are usually
the maximum/upper diameter. For use
on the burner the (usually smaller)
bottom diameter is important.
– Aluminum, copper
– Glass, ceramic, earthenware
If in doubt, whether cookware is
suitable for use on the induction, check
by holding a magnet on the cookware
bottom. If the magnet sticks, the
cookware is suitable.
Energy saving tips
Using a lid while cooking will minimize
the loss of heat and decrease cooking
time.
To prevent damage to the cooktop
do not use pots and pans with thin
bases on this cooktop. Never heat
an empty pan unless the pan
manufacturer states that you can do
so.

Cooktop care
^ The ceramic surface should be

sure the cooktop is "Off", and be
careful not to accidentally turn it

cleaned regularly with a cleaner for
ceramic surfaces. Follow the ceramic
cleaner manufacturer’s instructions. If
you have difficulty locating a suitable
product contact Miele.
Under no circumstances should a
steam cleaner be used to clean this
appliance. Pressurized steam could
cause permanent damage to the
surface and to components for
which the manufacturer cannot
accept responsibility.
^ Before cleaning allow the cooktop to
cool. Wipe spills using a damp
sponge. Stubborn spills are best
removed with a shielded scraper
blade.
^ To remove any limescale deposits or
metallic residue apply ceramic
cleanser using a soft cloth or use a
shielded scraper blade if necessary.
Do not use any sharp pointed
objects which could damage the
seal between the ceramic surface,
the surrounding frame and the
countertop.
^ A cleaner with a special additive to
prevent water marks and smears on
the ceramic surface may be used.
^ After cleaning, wipe the ceramic
surface with a damp cloth to remove
any residue. Cleaner residues could
damage the cooktop or create toxic
fumes when heated. Finally, dry the
cooktop with a clean soft cloth.
Never use scouring agents, pads,
abrasive cleaning agents or strong
cleaners, e.g. oven sprays, stain or
rust removers, as these could
damage the surface of the
appliance.
^ Any melted solids (e.g. sugar, plastic,
syrup, aluminum 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
shielded scraper blade. Once the
cooktop has cooled, remove any
remaining residue using a ceramic
cooktop cleaner.
After cleaning, thoroughly dry the
ceramic surface with a soft cloth to
prevent a build up of limescale
deposits.
