Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety 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 hob can compromise your safety. Check the hob for visible signs of damage. Do not use the hob if it is damaged.
Reliable and safe operation of this hob can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The electrical safety of this hob can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.
To avoid the risk of damage to the hob, make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply before connecting it to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
Do not connect the hob to the mains electrical supply by a multi socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
For safety reasons, this hob may only be used after it has been built in.
This hob must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
Never open the casing of the hob. Touching or tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
While the hob is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorized service technician. Otherwise the warranty is invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
The hob is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a remote control system. The hob must be connected to the electricity supply by a qualified electrician (see “Installation Electrical connection”).
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a special mains connection cable by a qualified electrician (see “Electrical connection” in the “Installation” chapter).
The hob must be disconnected from the mains electricity 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.
Danger of electric shock. Do not use the hob if it is faulty, or if the ceramic surface is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Switch it off immediately. Disconnect the hob from the mains electricity supply. Contact Miele Service.
If the hob is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the door while the hob is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the closed door. This can result in damage to the hob, the housing unit and the floor. Do not close the door until the residual heat indicators go out.

Correct use

The hob gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat indicators go out.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the hob when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the hob to heat up the room.
Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire.
Do not leave the hob unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not attempt to put the flames out with water. Disconnect the hob from the mains and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used. It should be continually monitored whilst boiling and flash frying.
Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do not flambé under a cooker 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 hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
Do not heat an empty pan.
Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars on the hob, as pressure can build up in the container, causing it to explode.
Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the hob is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.

Warning and Safety instructions

When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of any metal items left on the hob heating up, with the danger of burning. Depending on the material, other items left on the hob could also melt or catch fire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult to dislodge. Do not use the appliance as a resting place. Switch the cooking zones off after use.
You could burn yourself on the hot hob. 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-held food blender, near the hob, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot come into contact with the hot hob. The insulation on the cable 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 in certain circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
Placing hot pans on the sensors and indicators could damage the electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the sensors or indicators.
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum foil to get onto the hob when it is hot, as they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this should occur, switch off the appliance and scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminum residues whilst still hot, using a shielded scraper blade suitable for use on glass. Wear oven gloves when doing this. Allow the ceramic surface to cool down and then clean it with a suitable ceramic hob cleaning agent.

Warning and Safety instructions

Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used.
Only use pots and pans with smooth bases. Rough bases will scratch the ceramic glass.
Lift pans into position on the hob. Sliding them into place can cause scuffs and scratches.
Plastic and aluminum foil containers melt at high temperatures. Do not use plastic or aluminum foil containers on the hob.
The hob frame or hob edges (on hobs with beveled edges) and the controls can become hot due to the influence of the following factors: operating duration, high power level(s), large pans and the number of cooking zones being used.
Pots and pans made of aluminum or with an aluminum base can leave a metallic sheen on the hob. This can be removed with the ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner (see “Cleaning and care”).
If spills remain on the hob for any length of time they can burn on and in certain circumstances become impossible to remove. Remove any soiling as quickly as possible and ensure that pan bases are clean, dry and free of grease.
Do not use the ceramic surface for preparing food on. Always use suitable pots and pans.

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this hob.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your hob.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

How the cooking zones work

Single circle cooking zones have one heating element, whilst double circle cooking zones and extended zones have two. Depending on the model, the heating elements may be separated by an insulating ring.

Each cooking zone has overheating protection (a temperature limiter), which stops the ceramic surface from becoming too hot (see “Overheating protection”).

When a power level is selected, heating is activated and the glowing heater element can be seen through the ceramic surface. The heater rating of the cooking zones depends on the power level selected, and is

electronically regulated. The “timing” of the cooking zone is controlled by switching the element on and off.

26

Pans

The best pots and pans are metal ones with a thick base which is very slightly concave when cold. When heated, the base flattens to rest evenly on the hob, optimising the conduction of the heat.

cold hot

Glass, ceramic, or stoneware is less suitable. These materials do not conduct the heat well.

Cutlery made of synthetic material, and aluminum foil are not suitable. These melt at high temperatures.

Pots and pans made of aluminium or with an aluminium base can leave a metallic sheen on the hob. This can be removed with the ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner (see “Cleaning and care”).

Please be aware that the properties of the pan base can affect the evenness with which the food heats up (e.g. when making pancakes).

– To make optimum use of the cooking zones, choose pans with a suitable base diameter (see chapter “Cooking zones”).

– Use only pots and pans with smooth bases. Rough bases can scratch the ceramic glass.

– Always lift the pans to move them. This will help prevent scratching.

– 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.

27

Tips on saving energy

– Check that the diameter of the pan base is wide enough for the cooking zone so that heat is not lost

unnecessarily.

– Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimize heat loss.

– Select a smaller pan when cooking small quantities. A small pan on a small cooking zone uses less energy than a large, partially filled pan on a large cooking zone.

– Cook with as little water as possible.

– Once food has come to the boil or the oil in the pan is hot enough for frying, reduce the heat to a lower setting.

– When cooking for a long time, switch the cooking zone off about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. In this way, use is made of the residual heat.

– Use a pressure cooker to reduce cooking times.

28

Setting range

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