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

In countries where there are areas
~
which may be subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage caused by cockroaches or
other vermin will not be covered by the
guarantee.
Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause
a fire.
If, despite this, oil or fat does catch
~
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.

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.

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.
Some foods may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking at a
sufficiently high temperature for long
enough. Therefore, when cooking or
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.
Once the residues have been removed,
allow the appliance to cool down, and
then clean with a suitable proprietary
ceramic hob cleaner.
Do not use two pans on a

If the hob is installed behind a
~
furniture door it may only be operated
with the door open. Do not close the
door whilst the hob is in use or whilst
there is any residual heat left in the
appliance.
This appliance is fitted with a
~
cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly
underneath the hob, ensure that there
is sufficient space between the drawer
and its contents and the underside of
the appliance in order to ensure
If the hob is built in over a pyrolitic

store pointed or small items or paper in
the drawer. They could get in through
the ventilation slots or be sucked into
the housing by the fan and damage the
fan or impair cooling.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other
~
inflammable substances must not be
stored in a drawer under the hob.
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

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.

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.

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
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

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):

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.

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:

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.

– 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.
44

Optional accessories
Miele appliances are designed to give the best possible
results and many years of satisfaction. To help you get the
most from your appliance, Miele has put together a
comprehensive range of accessories and cleaning products.
These can be ordered via the internet at:
or from Miele (see back cover for contact details).
Miele|home system
Miele|home enabled appliances use the existing household
power supply (Powerline technology) to transfer data to the
Miele|home master appliance (SuperVision appliance, or
InfoControl unit). You can use the master appliance to call up
information about Miele|home appliances, such as the
operational status or fault messages at any time.

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.

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).
^ Follow the instructions in the wiring
diagram (see "Electrical connection -
Wiring diagram").
