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,

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 can normally 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.  
Rather than just throwing these  
materials away, please ensure they are  
offered for recycling.  
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.  
It should be unplugged or  
disconnected from the mains electricity  
supply by a competent person.

Induction  
The induction principle  
If a suitable pan is placed on the  
cooking zone within 3 minutes, the ß  
will go out and you can continue as  
normal.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Switch the cooking zones off after  
use.  
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  
relevant cooking zone display  
alternating with 0 or the power setting  
selected .  
17  
 
Induction  
Noises  
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.  
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.  
18  
 
Induction  
Pans  
Make sure that you always place the  
pan in the middle of the cooking  
zone. If the pan only partially covers  
the zone, the handle could become  
very hot.  
Suitable pans include:  
– stainless steel pans with a magnetic  
base  
– enamelled steel pans  
– cast iron pans  
Unsuitable pans:  
Tips on saving energy  
– stainless steel pans without a  
magnetic base  
Use a lid whenever possible to  
minimise heat loss.  
– 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.  
Uncovered  
Covered  
To make optimum use of the cooking  
zones, choose pans with base  
diameters larger than the innermost  
markings but smaller than the  
outermost markings. If the base  
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.

Sensor switches  
Switching on  
This hob is equipped with electronic  
sensor switches which react to finger  
contact.  
The hob must be switched on before  
any of the zones can be used.  
Do not leave the appliance  
To operate a cooking zone, touch the  
relevant sensor. Each time you touch a  
sensor switch, an audible tone sounds.

To switch the hob on  
^ Touch the ON/OFF sensor s.  
0 appears in each of the cooking zone  
displays. 00 appears in the  
Timer/Memory display. If no further  
entry is made, the hob will switch itself  
off after a few seconds for safety  
reasons.  
To switch a cooking zone on  
^ Select a power setting between 1 and  
12 or the keeping warm function by  
touching the - or + sensor.  
Take care only to touch the middle  
of the sensor required. 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

Booster function  
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 as shown.  
The cooking zones are equipped with  
Single (l) or Twin Boosters (I/II) (see  
"Guide to the appliance").  
When activated, the power is boosted  
so that large quantities can be heated  
quickly, e.g. when boiling water for  
cooking pasta. The cooking zones will  
operate with extra power for 10 minutes  
when Booster I is activated, and for 15  
minutes when Booster II is activated.  
When the Booster is switched on, the  
following happens:  
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 Auto heat-up is activated on either  
zone in the same network, this will be  
switched off.

Problem solving guide  
... there is a strange smell or vapours  
when a new appliance is being used.  
Installation work and repairs to  
electrical appliances must only be  
carried out by a suitably qualified  
and competent person in strict  
accordance with current local and  
national safety regulations (BS 7671  
in the UK). Repairs and other work  
by unqualified persons could be  
dangerous. The manufacturer  
cannot be held liable for  
The smell and any vapours given off do  
not indicate a faulty connection or  
appliance, and neither are they  
hazardous to health.  
... the hob can be switched on and  
settings selected, but the cooking  
zones do not heat up  
unauthorised work.  
Ensure that current is not supplied to  
the appliance until after  
Check whether you set the demo-mode  
setting by mistake (see "Programming -  
P0").  
maintenance or repair work has  
been carried out.  
What to do if...  
... ß appears in the display for a  
cooking zone.  
... the hob or cooking zones cannot  
be switched on  
Check whether  
Check whether  
– the zone was switched on by mistake  
without a pan on it.  
– the pans being used are suitable.  
– the pan being used is suitable for  
use on an induction zone, and that it  
is large enough (see "Pans").  
– the safety lock is activated.  
If necessary, deactivate it (see  
"Safety lock").  
– the mains fuse has tripped.  
If none of the above is the case, then  
disconnect the appliance from the  
electricity supply for approx. 1 minute.  
To do this:  
... an individual cooking zone or the  
whole hob has switched itself off  
automatically  
The safety switch-off feature or the  
overheating protection mechanism has  
been triggered (see "Safety switch-off"  
and "Overheating protection").  
– switch off at the wall socket, or  
switch off at the isolator, or  
– disconnect the mains fuse.  
Reset the trip switch in the mains fuse  
box, and switch the appliance back on.  
If it still will not switch on, contact a  
qualified electrician or the Miele Service  
Department.  
42  
 
Problem solving guide  
... one of the following has occurred:  
... numbers light up in the Timer  
display, and A, F and numbers light  
up in the cooking zone display, when  
the hob is switched off.  
– The Booster has deactivated early  
automatically.  
– The set power level 10, 11 or 12 is  
alternating in the display with a lower  
power level. The reduced power  
level is also indicated by the number  
of lines in the light-ring.  
The sensitivity level of the sensors has  
altered and they are unable to  
recalibrate automatically. The sensors  
must be recalibrated manually (see  
"Calibrating the sensor switches").  
The overheating protection mechanism  
has been triggered (see "Overheating  
protection").  
If this does not solve the problem,  
please call the Miele Service  
department.  
... the food in the pan hardly heats up  
or does not heat up at all when the  
Auto heat-up function is switched on  
... an F appears in the display for the  
left hand cooking zones, an E  
appears in the display for the right  
hand cooking zones and numbers  
appear in the timer display.  
This could be because:  
– there is too much food in the pan.  
Interrupt the power supply to the hob  
for approx. 1 minute.  
– the pan not conducting heat  
properly.  
If the problem persists after  
reconnecting the appliance to the  
power supply, please contact the Miele  
Service department.  
Select a higher continued cooking  
setting next time, or start cooking at the  
highest setting and then turn down to a  
lower setting manually later on.  
... The cooling fan continues to run  
after the appliance has been  
switched off.  
This is not a fault. The fan will continue  
running until the appliance has cooled  
down. It will then switch itself off  
automatically.

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.  
The Miele| system allows certain hobs to be linked to certain  
cooker hoods (Con{ctivity).  
The cooker hood responds automatically to the hob setting,  
controlling the power level and lighting accordingly.  
To enjoy the benefits of this feature, your appliance will have  
to be fitted with a communication module.

Safety instructions for installation  
Safety distance above the appliance  
When two or more appliances are  
installed together below a cooker  
hood, e.g. a gas wok and a ceramic  
hob, which have different safety  
distances given in the installation  
instructions, you should select the  
greater distance of the two.  
A minimum safety distance must be  
maintained between the appliance and  
the cooker hood above it. See the  
cooker hood manufacturer’s operating  
and installation instructions for details.  
If the manufacturer’s instructions are  
not available for the cooker hood, a  
minimum safety distance of at least  
760 mm must be maintained. For any  
flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails,  
wall units etc. a minimum distance of at  
least 760 mm must be maintained  
between them and the appliance  
below.  
46  
 
Safety instructions for installation  
Safety distances to the sides and  
back of the hob  
Ideally the hob should be installed with  
plenty of space on either side. There  
may be a wall at the rear and a tall unit  
or wall at one side. On the other side,  
however, no unit or divider should  
stand higher than the hob (see  
illustrations).  
Not allowed  
The following minimum distances  
should be adhered to for safety  
reasons:  
– 50 mm to the right or left of the  
worktop cut-out to the nearest piece  
of furniture (e.g. tall unit).  
– 50 mm from the worktop cut-out to  
the rear wall.

Not recommended  
47  
 
Safety instructions for installation  
Safety distances underneath the hob  
To ensure sufficient ventilation to the  
hob, a certain gap must be left between  
the underside of the hob and any oven,  
interim shelf or drawer.  
The minimum gap between the  
underside of the hob and  
– the top of an oven is 15 mm.  
– the top of an interim shelf is 15 mm.  
A space of at least 10 mm must also  
be left at the back to accommodate  
the cable.  
– the base of a drawer must be  
75 mm.

Safety instructions for installation  
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.  
Example: 15 mm niche cladding  
50 mm - 15 mm = minimum safety distance of 35 mm

^ 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").  
^ 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

suitable heat-resistant sealant to  
avoid swelling caused by moisture.  
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.  
These hobs have a seal underneath  
them to keep the hob securely in  
position. Clamps are not required.  
Any gap between the frame and  
worktop will reduce with time.

General installation tips  
Tiled worktop  
Sealant  
Grout lines a and the hatched area  
underneath the hob frame must be  
smooth and even. If they are not, the  
hob will not sit flush with the worktop  
and the sealing strip underneath the  
hob will not provide a good seal  
between the hob and the worktop.  
Do not use any sealant unless  
expressly instructed to do so. The  
sealing strip under the edge of the top  
part of the appliance provides a  
sufficient seal for the worktop.  
Do not use sealant between the  
frame of the top part of the  
appliance and the worktop.  
This could cause difficulties if the  
appliance ever needs to be taken  
out for servicing and possibly result  
in damage to the frame or the  
worktop.
