Induction  
How it works  
If a suitable pan is placed on the burner  
within 3 minutes, the ß will go out and  
you can continue cooking as normal.  
An induction coil is located under each  
burner. When a burner is switched on,  
this coil creates a magnetic field which  
impacts directly on the base of the pan  
and heats it up. The burner itself is  
heated indirectly by the heat given off  
by the pan.  
If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed  
on the burner, the burner and the  
cooktop will switch off automatically  
after 3 minutes.  
Be careful not to place cutlery or  
other metal objects on the cooktop.  
When the appliance is switched on,  
or when there is residual heat  
present, there is the risk of metal  
objects heating up quickly.  
Induction burners only work when a  
magnetic based pan is placed on it  
(see "Cookware").  
Induction automatically recognizes the  
size of the pan, i.e. heat is only  
generated in the area covered by the  
base of the pan.  
Beware of burns.  
Depending on the material, other  
objects left on the cooktop could  
also melt or catch fire. Switch the  
burners off after use.  
The burner 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 pan is too small.  
– if the pan is taken off the burner  
when it is switched on.  
If this happens, ß will flash in the  
relevant burner display alternating with  
0 or the last selected power level  
selected.  
13  
Induction  
Noises  
The appliance has a cooling fan to help  
extend the life of the electronics. When  
the cooktop is being used at high levels  
for a long period of time, this will come  
on and you will hear a whirring sound.  
The fan may continue to run after the  
appliance has been switched off.  
When using an induction burner, the  
following noises can occur in the pan,  
depending on what it is made of and  
how it is constructed.  
– Higher power settings may cause a  
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. a  
sandwiched base), a cracking sound  
may be heard.  
– Whistling might occur if linked  
burners (see "Booster function") are  
being used on the highest setting at  
the same time, and the pans have  
bases made of layers of different  
materials.  
– You may hear a clicking sound from  
the electronic switches, especially on  
lower settings.  
14  
Induction  
Cookware  
Pan size  
Suitable pans include:  
To make optimum use of the burners,  
choose cookware that fits between the  
inner and outer marking of the burner. If  
the base diameter of the pan is smaller  
than the inner marking, the induction  
heating will not work. The burner will  
behave as if it had no pan on it.  
– stainless steel pans with a magnetic  
base  
– enameled steel pans  
– cast iron pans  
Unsuitable pans:  
– stainless steel pans without a  
magnetic base  
– aluminum and copper pans  
– glass, ceramic or earthenware pots  
and pans  
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable  
for use on an induction cooktop, hold a  
magnet to the base of the pan. If the  
magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.  
Unless the pan manufacturer states  
that you can do so, do not use pans  
with very thin bases on this cooktop,  
and never heat up empty pans. This  
could damage the appliance and  
cookware.  
15  
Before using for the first time  
Clean the cooktop  
Heat the cooktop  
^ Before using for the first time, clean  
the appliance with a damp cloth and  
dry with a soft cloth.  
Metal components of the cooktop have  
a protective coating which may give off  
a slight odor the first time the appliance  
is heated.  
The smell will dissipate after a short  
time and does not indicate a faulty  
connection or appliance defect.  
16  
Use  
Touch controls

measure.  
will be heard.  
Be sure to touch only the desired  
sensor area and keep the control  
panel clean and clear. Otherwise,  
the touch controls may not respond,  
or unintentional commands may be  
given, even causing the cooktop to  
switch off automatically (see the  
section on "Safety cut-out feature").  
NEVER place hot cookware on the  
sensor areas. The electronics can  
be damaged.

Timer  
The cooktop is fitted with a timer which  
can be used to time kitchen activities  
and/or to switch off the burners  
automatically.  
Setting the timer  
The timer can be used with the cooktop  
turned on or off. It works like a manual  
kitchen timer.  
You can set a time from 1 minute (01) to  
9 ½ hours (9.^). If the time is more than  
99 minutes (99), the setting will be  
shown in half-hour increments, which  
appear after the decimal point.  
^ Touch the m, - or + sensor.  
Two dashes appear in the display, and  
the timer indicator will flash.  
^ While the indicator is flashing, touch  
the - or + sensor until the desired  
time appears in the display,  
e.g. 15 minutes.  
Use the - and + touch controls to raise  
and lower the time. There are pre-set  
stops at 2 hours and at 99 minutes. To  
override a stop, briefly remove your  
finger from the touch control, then  
touch it again to continue.  
The time then counts down in minutes.  
The time remaining can be seen in the  
display and changed at any time by  
touching - or +.  
To re-set the display to 00,  
simultaneously touch - and +.  
When the set time has elapsed, 00 will  
appear in the timer display for a few

Safety features  
Overheating protection  
Overheating can be caused by:  
– heating an empty pan.  
The induction coils and the cooling  
element of the electronic are fitted with  
a overheating protection feature. This  
prevents the induction coils and cooling  
element from overheating.  
– fats or oils being heated on the  
highest power setting.  
– there being insufficient ventilation to  
the under side of the appliance.  
This mechanism works on the affected  
burner or on the entire cooktop in the  
following ways:  
If the overheating protection  
mechanism triggers again, contact  
Miele Technical Service.  
– If the booster function is being used,  
this will be switched off.  
– The power level will be reduced.  
– If an induction coil is affected, the  
cooktop will switch off. The fault  
code FE99 will be displayed.  
The burner can be used again as soon  
as it has cooled to a safe temperature.  
– If the cooling element is affected, the  
power supply to the burners will be  
reduced, and the set power level will  
continue to be displayed.  
As soon as the cooling element has  
cooled sufficiently, the burners will  
automatically continue to operate at the  
original power setting.
