Induction Cooktops

Product Information and Usage Instructions for Induction

Cooktops

Product Information

The induction cooktop is a high-quality appliance designed for
easy and efficient cooking. It uses electromagnetic energy to heat
the cookware directly, rather than heating the burner surface. This
results in faster and more precise cooking, with less wasted heat.
The cooktop is equipped with various safety features, such as
overheating protection, residual heat indicators, and child safety
locks, to ensure safe and worry-free cooking.

Usage Instructions

1. Read the instruction manual carefully before installation or
   use to prevent accidents and machine damage.

2. Make sure the cooktop is properly installed and connected to
   the electricity supply according to the installation instructions
   provided in the manual. The appliance must be completely
   disconnected from the electricity supply during installation,
   maintenance, and repair work.

3. Do not leave children unattended while using the cooktop. Use
   the child safety locks to prevent accidental activation of the
   cooktop by children.

4. Use only cookware that is suitable for induction cooking. The
   cookware should have a flat bottom and be made of ferromagnetic
   materials, such as cast iron or stainless steel. Do not use
   aluminum, copper, or glass cookware.

5. Place the cookware on the cooking zone properly. The cookware
   should cover the entire cooking zone to ensure efficient heating.
   Do not use two items of cookware on a cooking zone or extended
   cooking zone.

6. Turn on the cooking zone by touching the corresponding control
   panel. Adjust the power level as needed. The cooktop has various
   power levels, as well as a boost function for quick heating.

7. Use the residual heat indicators to determine which cooking
   zones are still hot after use. Do not touch the cooking zones or
   place any items on them until they have cooled down
   completely.

8. Clean the cooktop regularly with a damp cloth and mild
   detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or a steam cleaner. If the
   cooktop is built-in over a self-cleaning oven, do not use it while
   the self-cleaning process is being carried out.

Caring for the Environment

Dispose of the packing material and old appliance safely and
responsibly. Follow local regulations on proper disposal of
electrical and electronic appliances. Do not dispose of them with
regular household waste. Consult with local authorities, dealers,

Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before using the cooktop. They contain important information on safety, installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the cooktop. When installing the cooktop, Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions under “Installation”, as well as in the “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”. Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by noncompliance with these instructions. Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner. Appropriate use This cooktop is intended for domestic use and use in other similar environments. This cooktop is not intended for outdoor use. The cooktop is intended for domestic use only to prepare food and keep it warm. Any other use may be dangerous. Persons (including children) who lack physical, sensory or mental abilities, or experience with the appliance should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.
4

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety with children Do not leave children unattended: Children should not be alone or
unsupervised in the area where the appliance is installed. Do not allow them to sit or stand on the appliance. Be sure to supervise any children in the vicinity of the cooktop, and do not let them play with it. The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time after being turned off. Keep children away from the appliance until it has cooled down and is no longer a burn hazard. Danger of burning. Do not store anything which might arouse a child’s interest in storage areas above or behind the cooktop. Otherwise they could be tempted to climb onto the cooktop. Risk of burning or scalding. Turn pot and pan handles inward, so children cannot pull them down and be burned. Danger of suffocation. While playing, children may become entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head, presenting the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children. Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot turn on the appliance inadvertently. Use the safety lock when the cooktop is in use to prevent children from altering the settings selected.
5

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Technical safety Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been in-
stalled correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified technician. Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so. Service work should only be performed by a qualified technician. Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician. Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the cooktop for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is damaged. Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronized with the grid power supply (e.g., island networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system complies with national and local codes. The function and operation of the protective measures provided in the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not synchronized with the grid power supply, or these measures must be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.
6

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS To avoid damaging the cooktop, make sure that the connection
data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the building’s power supply before connecting the appliance. When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a power bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance. For safety reasons, the cooktop may only be used when it has been fully installed. This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship). Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical components of the cooktop will endanger your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions. Do not open the casing of the cooktop under any circumstances. Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized service technician will void the warranty. Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts only. Only with these parts can safety of the appliance be assured as intended by the manufacturer. The appliance is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a remote control system. The cooktop must be connected to the electricity supply by a qualified electrician (see “Installation ­ Electrical connection”). If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a qualified service technician (see “Installation ­ Electrical connection”).
7

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The appliance must be completely disconnected from the electric-
ity supply during installation, maintenance and repair work. Ensure that power is not supplied to the appliance until after it has been installed or until any maintenance or repair work has been carried out. Disconnect by – removing the fuse, – “tripping” the circuit breaker, or – unplugging the unit (if equipped with plug). Pull the plug not the
cord. Danger of electric shock. Do not use the cooktop if it is faulty, or if the ceramic surface is cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way. Switch it off immediately. Disconnect the cooktop from the electrical power supply. Contact Miele Service. If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build up behind the closed door and cause damage to the cooktop, cabinetry, and flooring. Do not close the door until the residual heat indicators go out.
8

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Correct use The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after being turned off. There is a potential hazard until the residual heat indicator goes out. Never leave the appliance unattended at high heat settings ­ Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water. Turn off the cooktop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable fire blanket. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires ­ Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Storage in or on the appliance: Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or in the vicinity of the appliance. The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire. Do not flambé under a ventilation hood. Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances in a drawer under the appliance. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant. Never heat empty cookware. Do not heat or can food in closed containers, such as tins or sealed jars, on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the container and cause it to explode. If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the cover will ignite, explode or melt if the cooktop is still hot or if turned on inadvertently. Never cover the cooktop with a board, cloth or protective sheet.
9

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If the cooktop is turned on or accidentally turned on or if it is still hot, metal objects on the cooktop can heat up. Other items may melt or catch fire. Damp lids can become attached to the cooktop by suction. Do not store items on the cooktop! Always turn the cooking zones off after use! You could burn yourself on the hot cooktop. Protect your hands with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself. When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near the cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into contact with the hot cooktop. The cable’s insulation could become damaged. Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that the ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it. Even a light object can cause damage to the ceramic cooktop in certain circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Do not place hot pans on the sensor buttons and display as this could cause damage to the electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the area around the display. Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum foil to get onto the cooktop when it is hot, as they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, turn off the appliance immediately and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminum residues while still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Use pot holders. Allow the ceramic surface to cool down before cleaning with a suitable ceramic cleaning agent. Pans that boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do not leave the appliance unattended while it is being used.
10

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Pots and pans with bases with pronounced edges or ridges can scratch the ceramic surface. Only use pots and pans with smooth bases. Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place can cause scuffs and scratches. Wear Proper Apparel ­ Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Because induction heating works so quickly, the temperature can quickly reach the ignition point of oils and fats. Never leave the cooktop unattended when it is turned on. Do not heat oils and fats for longer than 1 minute, and never use the booster. For people who have a heart pacemaker: Please note that the area immediately surrounding the cooktop is electromagnetically charged. It is very unlikely to affect a pacemaker. However, if in any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor. Objects affected by electromagnetic fields, for instance credit cards, CDs and calculators, should be kept away from the cooktop when it is on. Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the cooktop can become hot if the appliance is used intensively for a long time. The cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan. If a drawer is located directly underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the cooktop in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the cooktop. If a drawer is located directly underneath the cooktop, do not store any pointed or small items, paper, napkins, etc. in the drawer. They could get in through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the casing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.
11

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Do not use 2 items of cookware on a cooking zone or extended
zone at the same time. If the cookware only partially covers a cooking zone, the handle could become very hot. Always place cookware in the middle of the cooking zone. Wet sponges or cloths can cause burns due to hot steam if they are used to wipe spilled food off a hot cooktop. Some cleansers can emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be careful when cleaning the cooktop. If the cooktop is damaged, cleansers or spilled food can penetrate the glass surface and cause a short-circuit. Never cook on a damaged cooktop. Contact an electrician immediately. If an induction adapter plate is used for cookware, the induction generators may be damaged or even destroyed. Do not use induction adapter plates.
12

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Cleaning and maintenance Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
The steam may reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. If the cooktop is built in over a self cleaning oven, the cooktop should not be used while the self cleaning process is being carried out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the cooktop (see relevant section). Miele will guarantee to supply functional parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your cooktop.
13

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material
The cardboard box and packing materials protect the appliance during shipping. They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation!

Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances contain valuable materials. They also contain certain substances, compounds and components which were essential for the proper functioning and safe use of the equipment. Handling these materials improperly by disposing of them in your household waste can be harmful to your health and the environment. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with regular household waste and follow local regulations on proper disposal.

Consult with local authorities, dealers or Miele in order to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances. Miele assumes no responsibility for deleting any personal data left on the appliance being disposed. Please ensure that your old appliance is kept away from children until removal.

How it works

An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. The coil creates a magnetic field that reacts directly with 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 ferromagnetic cookware is placed on it (see “Cookware”). The induction cooking zone automatically recognizes the size of the cookware.
Risk of burning due to hot items.
When the cooktop is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of metal items placed on the cooktop heating up. Do not store items on the cooktop. After use, switch the cooktop off with the sensor control.

Noises
When you use an induction cooking zone, the following noises may occur, depending on the type and shape of the cookware bottom: On the higher power levels, it might buzz. This will decrease or cease altogether when the power level is reduced. Cookware with bottoms made of different materials (e.g., sandwich bottoms) may produce a crackling noise. Whistling may occur if connected cooking zones (see “Operation ­ Booster”) are simultaneously in use and cookware with bottoms made of different materials (e.g., sandwich bottoms) is placed on them. The electronics may produce a clicking sound, especially at lower power levels. You may hear a whirring sound when the cooling fan turns on. It turns on to protect the electronics when the cooktop is being used intensively. The fan may continue to run after the appliance has been turned off.

32

How it works

Power management system
The cooktop has a maximum total permitted power consumption which cannot be exceeded for safety reasons. Cooking zones can be linked together in pairs on the cooktop. This allows additional power to be transferred from one cooking zone to another.
The values for the maximum total permitted power consumption and which cooking zones are linked together can be found in “Overview ­ Cooking zone data”. If power is transferred from one cooking zone (A) to the other cooking zone (B), the power for the first cooking zone (A) is reduced.

If a cooking zone gives power to another zone, this can have the following effects: – The power level is reduced. – Auto heat-up will be deactivated.
Cooking continues at the set level. If the power is not sufficient, the power level will be reduced again. – The Booster function is deactivated. – The cooking zone is switched off. When the cooking zone stops transferring power to the other zone, the power level can be increased again.

33

Cookware

Suitable cookware
– Stainless steel with a magnetic base – Enameled steel – Cast iron The composition of the pan bottom can affect the evenness of the cooking results (e.g., when making pancakes). The base of the pan must be able to distribute the heat evenly. A sandwich base made of stainless steel is particularly suitable.
Unsuitable cookware
– Stainless steel without a magnetic base
– Aluminum or copper – Glass, ceramics, earthenware,
stoneware
Testing cookware
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 cookware is generally suitable.

No cookware/unsuitable cookware display
The set power level flashes in the numerical display for the cooking zone if – the cooking zone has been switched
on without cookware in place, or if the cookware is unsuitable (nonmagnetic base) – the bottom diameter of the cookware being used is too small – the cookware is removed from a cooking zone that is on If suitable cookware is placed on the cooking zone within 15 seconds, the flashing power level will go out and you can continue as usual. If no cookware or if unsuitable cookware is used, the cooking zone will automatically turn off after 15 seconds.

34

Cookware

Tips
– To make optimum use of the cooking zones, choose cookware with a suitable base diameter (see “Overview ­ Cooking zone data”). If the cookware is too small it will not be recognized.
– Position the cookware as centrally as possible on the relevant cooking zone/cooking area.
– Use only pots and pans with smooth bases. Rough bases can scratch the ceramic glass.
– Always lift the cookware to move it. This will help prevent scratching. If any scratches do appear as a result of cookware being pushed around, this will not affect the function of the cooktop. These scratches are normal signs of use and are not grounds for making a complaint.

– Please note that the pot or pan diameter quoted by manufacturers often refers to the maximum diameter or diameter of the top rim. The diameter of the base (generally smaller) is more important.
– If possible, use pans with straight sides. If pans with sloped sides are used, the induction also takes effect around the edges of the pan. This can cause the edge of the pan to become discolored or the coating to peel off.

35

Energy saving tips
– Use a lid whenever possible to minimize heat loss.
– For small quantities, select a small pan. A small pan on a small cooking zone uses less energy than a large, only partially filled pan on a large cooking zone.
– 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 power setting.
36

Setting ranges

The cooktop is programmed with 9 power levels at the factory. If you wish to finetune a setting, you can extend the power-level range to 17 power levels (see “Programming”).

These settings should only be taken as a guide. The power of the induction coils will vary depending on the voltage, size, and material of the cookware base. For this reason, it is possible that the power levels will need to be adjusted slightly to suit your cookware. As you use the cooktop, you will get to know which settings suit your cookware best. When using new cookware that you are not familiar with, set the power to one level below the one specified.

37

Operation
Operation
This ceramic cooktop is equipped with electronic sensor controls which react to finger contact. For safety reasons, in order to switch the appliance on, the On/Off sensor control needs to be touched for a little longer than the other sensors. Each time a sensor control is activated, an audible signal sounds. Only the printed On/Off sensor control is visible when the cooktop is switched off. More sensor controls light up when the cooktop is switched on.

Malfunction can occur due to
dirty and/or covered sensor controls. If the sensor controls are dirty or covered this could cause them to fail to react, to activate a function, or even to switch the cooktop off automatically (see “Safety features ­ Safety shut-off”). Placing hot cookware on the sensor controls/indicators can damage the electronic underneath. Keep the sensor controls and indicators clean. Do not place anything over the sensor controls or indicators. Do not place hot cookware over the sensor controls or indicators.

Safety features

Overheating protection
All the induction coils and the cooling elements for the electronics are equipped with an overheating protection mechanism. Before the induction coils or cooling elements get too hot, the overheating protection mechanism intervenes in one of the following ways: Induction coils – Any Booster function in operation will
be turned off. – The set power level will be reduced. – The cooking zone turns off automati-
cally. will flash alternately with in the timer display. You can use the cooking zones again as usual when the fault message has gone out. Cooling elements – Any Booster function in operation will be turned off. – The set power level will be reduced. – The cooking zones turn off automatically. The affected cooking zones can only be used again if the cooling element has cooled down to a safe level.

The overheating protection may be activated under the following circumstances: – The cookware being heated is empty. – Fat or oil is being heated on a high
power level. – There is insufficient ventilation to the
underside of the cooktop. – A hot cooking zone is turned back on
after a power failure. If, despite removing the cause, the overheating protection mechanism triggers again, contact Miele Customer Service.

Cleaning and care

Risk of burning or scalding due
to hot cooking zones. The cooking zones will be hot after use. Turn off the cooktop. Allow the cooktop to cool down before cleaning.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress. The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
All surfaces could be discolored or damaged if unsuitable cleaning agents are used. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Remove all cleaning agent residues immediately. Do not clean with any abrasive or sharp pointed objects.

Allow the cooktop to cool down before cleaning.
Clean the cooktop after every use. Dry the cooktop thoroughly after ev-
ery cleaning to avoid limescale residue.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the appliance, do not use: – liquid dish soap – cleaning agents containing soda, al-
kalis, ammonia, acids, or chlorides – cleaning agents containing limescale
remover – stain or rust removers – abrasive cleaning agents, such as
scouring powder, scouring liquid, or pumice stones – cleaning agents containing solvents – dishwasher cleaning agents – grill and oven sprays – glass cleaners – hard, abrasive brushes – sponges – eraser sponges

56

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the ceramic surface
Risk of damage caused by
pointed objects. The seal between the cooktop and the countertop could be damaged. The seal between the ceramic surface and the frame could be damaged. Do not use pointed objects for cleaning.
When cleaning with liquid dish soap, not all contaminants and residues are removed. An invisible film forms, which causes discoloration of the ceramic. This discoloration cannot be removed. Clean the ceramic surface regularly with a suitable ceramic cooktop cleaning agent.
First wipe down the surface with a damp cloth to loosen soiling, then remove stubborn crusting with a glass scraper.
Then clean the ceramic surface with the Miele Ceramic and StainlessSteel Cooktop Cleaner (see “Optional accessories ­ Cleaning and care products”) or with a proprietary ceramic cleaner applied with a paper towel or a clean cloth. Do not put the cleaner on a hot cooktop since this may cause spotting. Please follow the cleaning-agent manufacturer’s instructions.
Finally wipe the cooktop with a damp cloth and dry it with a soft, dry cloth.

Residues can burn onto the cooktop the next time it is used and cause damage to the ceramic surface. Ensure that all cleaner residues are removed.
Spots caused by limescale, water, and aluminum residues (spots with a metallic appearance) can be removed using the Miele Ceramic and Stainless-Steel Cooktop Cleaner.
Risk of burning or scalding due

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – INSTALLATION Risk of damage caused by incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can damage the cooktop. The cooktop must only be installed by a qualified specialist.
Risk of electric shock from voltage.
Incorrect connection to the power supply may result in an electric shock. The cooktop must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified electrician only.
Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the cooktop when installing cabinetry or a ventilation hood above it. Install the cabinetry and ventilation hood before installing the cooktop.
Reaching over a hot appliance to access the cabinets can result in burns. You can reduce the risk of burns by installing a ventilation hood that extends at least 5″ (12 cm) past the bottom of the cabinets. The countertop must be heat- resistant (up to 212°F / 100°C), so that it does not become deformed or the veneer detached. The wall strips must be heat-resistant as well. The cooktop must not be installed above refrigerators/freezers, dishwashers, or washer/dryers. This cooktop may only be installed above a stove or oven if they have a built-in cooling fan. Ensure that the power cord cannot be touched after the cooktop has been installed. After the installation of the cooktop, the electrical cord may not come into contact with any moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer) or be subject to mechanical stress. Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the following pages.

Installation

The safety distance specified by the manufacturer of the ventilation hood must be maintained between the cooktop and the ventilation hood above it. If combustible objects are installed above the cooktop (e.g., a suspended rack), a minimum safety distance of 19 3/4″ (500 mm) must be maintained.
When two or more appliances which have different safety distances are installed together below a ventilation hood, you should observe the greatest specified safety distance.

Safety distance from the wall covering If a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained between the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures can damage these materials. If the covering is made of a combustible material (such as wood), the minimum safety distance between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be 2″ (50 mm). For coverings made of non-combustible materials (such as metal, marble, granite, ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be 2″ (50 mm) minus the thickness of the covering. For example: thickness of wall covering 9/16″ (15 mm) 2″ (50 mm) – 9/16″ (15 mm) = minimum safety distance 1 3/8″ (35 mm)

Damage caused by incorrect in-
stallation. Using sealant under the cooktop could result in damage to the cooktop and the countertop if the cooktop ever needs to be removed for servicing. Do not use sealant between the cooktop and the countertop. The sealing strip under the edge of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for the countertop.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the cooktop for service purposes may damage the sealing strip underneath the edge of the cooktop. Always replace the sealing strip before reinstalling the cooktop.

Grout lines and the shaded area under the cooktop frame must be smooth and even. If they are not, the cooktop will not sit flush with the countertop and the sealing strip underneath the cooktop will not provide a good seal between the cooktop and the countertop.
