appliance, it could be dangerous.  
Repairs and other work by unqualified  
persons could be dangerous. The  
manufacturer cannot be held liable for  
unauthorised work.  
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  
regularly tested, and where there is any  
doubt, the household wiring system  
should be inspected by a qualified  
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be  
held liable for the consequences of an  
inadequate earthing system (e.g.  
electric shock).  
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 fuse is disconnected, or  
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in  
countries where this is applicable), or  
– it is switched off at the wall socket  
and the plug is withdrawn from the  
socket, or it is switched off at the  
isolator.  
Before connecting the appliance,  
~
make sure that the connection data on  
the data plate (voltage and frequency)  
match the mains electricity supply.  
This data must correspond in order to  
avoid the risk of damage to the

the hob surface permanently.  
Do not use the appliance as a  
~
resting place for anything else.  
Never heat an empty pan unless the  
~
manufacturer of the pan expressly  
states that you can do so. 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.  
Take particular care never to place  
cutlery or other metal objects on the  
appliance. 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.  
Keep the hob clean. Grains of salt,  
~
sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning  
vegetables) can cause scratches.  
Depending on the material, other  
objects left on the hob could also melt  
or catch fire.

reheating food such as poultry, it is  
particularly important that the food is  
completely cooked through. If in doubt,  
select a longer cooking or reheating  
time.

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 should 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.  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection/recycling  
centre or contact your dealer for  
advice. Ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
18  
Before using for the first time  
Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied  
with this documentation in the space provided in the "After  
sales service, data plate" section of this booklet.  
Cleaning for the first time  
Remove any protective wrapping and adhesive labels.  
Before using for the first time, clean the appliance with a  
damp cloth only and then wipe dry.  
Do not use washing up liquid to clean the ceramic surface  
as it can leave a blue sheen which may be difficult to  
remove.  
Before using for the first time  
On hobs with bevelled glass edges, a small gap may be  
visible between the hob and the worktop during the first  
few days after installation. This gap will reduce with time as  
the appliance is used and will not affect the electrical  
safety of your appliance.  
When the appliance is used for the first time, it may give off a  
slight smell. The smell and any vapours will dissipate after a  
short time. They are not harmful and do not indicate a faulty  
connection or appliance.  
Please note that the heating up time on induction hobs is  
very much shorter than on conventional hobs.  
19  
Induction  
The induction principle  
An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When  
a cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a magnetic  
field which impacts directly on 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 ferromagnetic  
pan is placed on it (see "Pans").  
Induction automatically recognises the size of the pan, i.e.  
heat is only generated in the area covered by the base of the  
pan.  
The cooking zone will not work:  
– if it is 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 when it is switched  
on.  
If this happens, ß will flash in the relevent cooking zone  
display alternating with the power setting selected.  
If a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone within  
3 minutes, the ß 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 and the hob will switch off automatically  
after 3 minutes.  
Take particular care never to place cutlery or other metal  
objects on the hob. When the appliance is switched on  
either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual  
heat present, there is the risk of metal items heating up  
with the danger of burning.  
Switch the cooking zones off after use.  
20  
Induction  
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, it 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 "Booster  
function") 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 settings.  
The appliance has a cooling fan to help extend the life of the  
electronics. When the hob is being used intensively, this will  
come on and you will hear a whirring sound. The fan may  
continue to run after the appliance has been switched off.  
21  
Induction  
Pans  
Suitable pans include:  
– stainless steel pans with a magnetic base  
– enamelled steel pans  
– cast iron pans  
Unsuitable pans:  
– stainless steel pans without a magnetic base  
– aluminium and copper pans  
– glass, ceramic or earthenware pots and pans  
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an  
induction hob, hold a magnet to the base of the pan. If the  
magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.  
Please be aware that the properties of the pan base can  
affect the eveness with which food heats up in the pan.  
To make optimum use of the cooking zones, choose pans  
with diameters larger than the innermost markings but smaller  
than the outermost markings. If the diameter of the pan is  
smaller than the innermost marking, the induction heating will  
not work. The zone will behave as if it had no pan on it.  
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.  
Make sure that pans are placed centrally on the cooking  
zone.  
If a pan is placed only partially on a zone, there is a risk  
that the handle could get very hot.  
22  
Operation  
How the hob is operated  
The hob is equipped with electronic sensor controls which  
react to finger contact.  
To operate the hob, touch the relevant sensor. Each time you  
touch a sensor, an audible tone sounds.  
In order to set or alter a power level or the time, the cooking  
zones and the timer must be "active".  
To activate a cooking zone or the timer, touch the sensor for  
selecting the relevant cooking zone or the timer. After you  
have touched the sensor, the relevant cooking zone or timer  
display will start to flash. The cooking zone or the timer is  
"active" whilst the display is flashing and you can set a power  
level or time.  
Exception:  
If only one of the cooking zones is in operation, you can alter  
the power level without activating the cooking zone.  
Take care to 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".)  
Never place hot pans on the sensors. The electronic unit  
underneath could get damaged.  
23  
Operation

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  
hob, you will get to know which settings suit your pans best.  
25  
Operation  
Auto heat-up  
When Auto heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone  
switches on automatically at the highest power setting and  
then switches to the continued cooking setting selected. The

27  
Operation  
Booster function  
The cooking zones are equipped with a Booster or  
TwinBooster (see "Guide to the appliance").  
When activated, the power is boosted for 15 minutes so that  
large quantities can be heated quickly, e.g. when boiling  
water for cooking pasta.  
The Booster function can only be used on two cooking zones  
at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.  
If the Booster function is switched on when  
– no setting has been selected, the cooking zone will revert  
automatically to setting 9 at the end of the Booster time or  
if the Booster function is switched off before this.  
– a setting has been selected, the cooking zone will revert  
automatically to the setting selected at the end of the  
Booster time or if the Booster function is switched off  
before this.  
Taking a pan off the zone whilst the Booster is in operation  
interrupts the Booster function. It will resume if a pan is  
placed back on the zone within 3 minutes.  
The extra boost of energy is only available by taking a  
proportion of energy away from another cooking zone. For  
this reason, the cooking zones are networked in pairs.  
Example:  
When selecting the Booster/TwinBooster level 1 for a zone,  
the following happens within the pairs:  
– If Auto heat-up is activated on the other zone within the  
pair, this will be switched off.  
– If the other zone within the pair is set at power level 9, the  
power level on that zone will be reduced.  
If TwinBooster level 2 is selected, the other zone within the  
networked pair will be switched off.  
28

29  
Operation  
Keeping warm function  
Each cooking zone has a keeping warm function ("h"). The "h"  
function is in between the "0" setting and the "1" setting.  
If the keeping warm function has been activated, the cooking  
zone will switch off automatically after a maximum of 2 hours.  
This function is for keeping food that has just been cooked  
warm, i.e. food that is still hot. It is not for reheating food  
that has gone cold.  
To set the keeping warm function  
^ Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want.  
^ Touch the area inbetween the "0" setting and the "1"setting.  
"h" will light up in the display.  
Useful tips  
Only use pans for keeping food warm. Cover the pan with a  
lid.  
You do not have to stir food while it is being kept warm.  
Nutrients are lost when food is cooked, and this will continue  
when food is kept warm. The longer food is kept warm for, the  
greater the loss of nutrients. Try to ensure that food is kept  
warm for as short a time as possible.  
30  
Operation  
Switching off and residual heat indicators  
Switching off a cooking zone  
^ Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want  
twice.  
A 0 will flash in the cooking zone display for a few seconds. If  
the cooking zone is still hot, the residual heat indicator will  
then appear in the display.  
Switching off the hob  
^ Touch the s sensor.  
This switches off all cooking zones. The residual heat  
indicator will appear in the display of any cooking zone which  
is still hot.  
Residual heat indicators  
The lines of the residual heat indicator go out one after  
another as the cooking zone cools down. The last horizontal  
line only goes out when the cooking zone is safe to touch.  
Do not touch or place any heat-sensitive objects on the  
cooking zones while the residual heat indicators are on.  
Danger of burning.  
31  
Tips on saving energy  
– Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss.  
uncovered  
covered  
– 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 pan is hot for frying,  
reduce the heat to a lower setting.  
– Cooking times are greatly reduced when using a pressure  
cooker.  
32  
Timer  
The hob must be switched on to use the timer.  
The timer can be used for two different functions:  
– to set the minute minder  
– to set a cooking zone to switch off automatically.  
You can select a time from 1 minute (01) to 9 hours (9^).  
A time of up to 99 minutes is set and displayed in minutes.  
Example:  
To set a time of more than 99 minutes, the timer must be set  
to hours (h). The time is then set in half hour stages. The half  
hour is indicated by a dot after the number.  
Example (2 h 30 min):  
h
When the set time has elapsed 00 will appear in the timer  
display. At the same time an audible tone will sound for a few  
seconds.

Timer  
To switch a cooking zone off automatically  
You can set a time at the end of which a cooking zone will  
switch off automatically.  
All the cooking zones can be programmed at the same time.  
If the time programmed is longer than the maximum  
operational time allowed, the cooking zone will switch off  
after the maximum time allowed (see "Safety switch-off").  
^ Select a power level for the cooking zone you require.  
^ Touch the m sensor repeatedly until the indicator lamp for  
this cooking zone flashes.  
If more than one cooking zone is switched on, the indicator  
lamps will flash clockwise beginning with the front left zone.  
^ Set the time you want.  
The time set will then count down in minutes. The time  
remaining will be shown in the timer display. You can change  
this at any time.  
If you want to set another cooking zone to switch off  
automatically, follow the same steps as described above.  
If more than one switch-off time is programmed, the shortest  
time remaining will show in the display, and the  
corresponding indicator lamp will flash. All the other indicator  
lamps will light up constantly. If you want to check on the time  
remaining for another zone, touch the m sensor repeatedly  
until the indicator lamp for the zone you require flashes.  
37  
Timer  
To use both timer functions at the same time  
The minute minder and automatic switch-off functions can be  
used at the same time.  
If you have programmed in one or more switch-off times, and  
would like to use the minute minder as well:  
Touch the m sensor repeatedly until the indicator lamps for  
the cooking zones you have programmed light up constantly  
and 00 appears in the timer display.  
If you are using the minute minder, and would like to  
programme in one or more switch-off times as well:  
Touch the m sensor repeatedly until the indicator lamp for  
the cooking zone you require flashes.  
Shortly after the last entry, the timer display switches to the  
function with the shortest remaining time.  
If you want to show the times remaining which are counting  
down in the background, touch the m repeatedly until  
- the indicator lamp for the cooking zone you want flashes  
(automatic switch-off).  
- only the timer display is flashing (minute minder).  
Starting with the shortest time remaining which is shown in  
the display, all cooking zones which are switched on and the  
minute minder are selected clockwise.

Safety features  
Safety lock / System lock  
Keep children away from the hob for their own safety.  
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 safety lock is activated when the hob is switched on. If  
the safety lock is activated:  
– The cooking zone power levels and the timer settings  
cannot be changed.  
– The cooking zones, the hob and the timer can be switched  
off, but once switched off cannot be switched on again.  
The system lock is activated when the hob is switched off. If  
the system lock is activated, the hob cannot be switched on  
and the timer cannot be used.  
The hob is programmed in such a way that activating the  
system lock has to be done manually. The setting can be  
changed so that the system lock is activated automatically  
five minutes after the hob has been switched off, providing it  
is not activated manually (see "Programming").  
If an unavailable sensor is touched whilst the Safety lock or

Deactivating  
^ Touch the $ sensor until the indicator lamp goes out.  
39  
Safety features  
Stop and Go  
Your appliance has a Stop and Go feature which, when  
activated, reduces the power of all cooking zones in use to  
power level 1. When Stop and Go activated, the cooking zone  
power levels and the setting of the timer cannot be altered  
and the hob can only be switched off.  
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.  
When Stop and Go is activated  
- the countdown of a time programmed in for automatic  
switch-off will be interrupted. When deactivated, the time  
will continue to run.  
- the minute minder will continue without interruption.  
Activating

Safety features  
Overheating protection  
All the induction coils and the cooling elements for the  
electronics are fitted with an overheating protection  
mechanism. Before the induction coils or cooling elements  
get too hot, the overheating protection mechanism cuts in in  
one of the following ways:  
Induction coils  
– If the booster function is being used, this will be switched  
off.  
– The power level will be reduced.  
– The cooking zone will switch off automatically.  
"FE" will flash in the time display alternately with "44".  
You will be able to use the cooking zones again as usual  
when the fault message has gone out.  
Cooling elements  
– If the booster function is being used, this will be switched  
off.  
– The power level will be reduced.  
– The cooking zones switch off automatically.  
The affected cooking zones can only be used again as usual  
once the cooling element has cooled down to a safe level.  
Overheating can be caused by:  
– Heating up an empty pan.  
– Fats or oils being heated up on the highest power setting.  
– There being insufficient ventilation to the underside of the  
appliance.  
– a hot cooking zone being switched on after a power cut.  
If the overheating protection mechanism triggers again,  
contact the Service department.  
42  
Cleaning and care  
For Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products see  
"Optional accessories".  
,Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this  
appliance. The steam could reach the electrical  
components and cause a short circuit.  
The appliance should be cleaned regularly, preferably after  
each use. Let it cool down to room temperature before  
cleaning.  
To avoid water marks and limescale deposits, use a soft cloth  
to dry surfaces that have been cleaned with water.  
To avoid damaging the surface of your appliance, do not  
use:  
– washing-up liquid,  
– cleaning agents containing soda, alkalines, ammonia,  
acids or chlorides,

– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges, e.g. pot scourers,  
brushes or sponges which have been previously used with  
abrasive cleaning agents,  
– Melamine eraser blocks,  
– sharp, pointed objects which could damage the seal  
between the ceramic surface and the surrounding frame,  
and between the frame and the worktop.  
43  
Cleaning and care  
Ceramic surface  
Wipe all coarse soiling off using a damp cloth. Stubborn  
soiling may need to be removed with a shielded scraper  
blade.  
Then clean the hob with a suitable ceramic and stainless  
steel 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.  
Finally, wipe the hob with a damp cloth, then polish with a  
soft, dry cloth. Ensure that all cleaner residues are removed.  
Residues can burn onto the appliance the next time it is used,  
and cause damage to the ceramic surface.  
Spots caused by limescale, water and aluminium residues  
(spots with a metallic appearance) can be removed using a  
ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner.  
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 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.  
Allow the appliance to cool down, and then clean as  
described above with a suitable ceramic and stainless steel  
hob cleaner.

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.

Installing the hob  
Preparing the worktop  
Installing the hob  
^ Make the worktop cut-out according  
to the dimensions given in the  
building-in diagram. Remember to  
maintain the minimum safety  
distances (see "Safety instructions  
for installation").  
^ Feed the mains connection cable  
down through the cut-out.  
^ Place the hob centrally in the cut-out.  
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 (e.g. silicone).  
^ Seal the cut surfaces on  
wood/laminated worktops with a  
suitable heat-resistant sealant to  
avoid swelling caused by moisture.  
If the corners of the frame are not  
flush with the worktop surface, the  
corner radius (ß R4) can be carefully  
scribed to fit.  
Make sure that the sealant does not  
come into contact with the top of the  
worktop.  
^ Connect the hob to the mains.  
^ Check that the hob works.  
No spring clamps are needed to  
install the hob. The sealing strip  
underneath the hob positions it  
securely in the cut-out.  
Any gap between the frame and  
worktop will reduce with time.  
Connecting the mains cable to the  
appliance  
The mains cable must only be  
connected to the appliance by a  
qualified and competent electrician  
in strict accordance with current  
local and national safety regulations  
(BS 7671 in the UK).
