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.  
The metal components have a protective coating which may  
give off a slight smell when heated up for the first time.  
The smell and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty  
connection or appliance, and they are not harmful to health.

How the cooking zones work  
Single circle cooking zones have one heating element, whilst  
double circle (vario) cooking zones and extended zones have  
two. Depending on model, the heating elements may be  
separated by an isolating 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, the heat switches on and the  
element can be seen through the ceramic surface.  
The temperature of the cooking zones depends on the power  
level selected, and is electronically regulated. This controls  
the "timing" of a cooking zone, switching the element on and  
off.

Operation  
How the hob is operated  
The hob is equipped with electronic sensor controls which  
react to finger contact.  
When the hob is switched off only the symbols for the sensors  
for switching the hob on and off and the safety lock are  
visible. When the hob is switched on all the other sensors  
light up as well. The "0" on the numerical keypad lights up  
more brightly than the other numbers.  
To operate the hob, touch the relevant sensor. Each time you  
touch a sensor, an audible tone sounds.  
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.

Operation  
Auto heat-up  
When Auto heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone  
switches on automatically at the highest power setting and  
then switches to the continued cooking setting selected. The  
heat-up time depends on which continued cooking setting  
has been chosen (see chart).  
As the higher continued cooking settings are generally used  
for frying food, only a relatively short heat-up time is needed  
to heat up the pan initially.  
Activating  
^ Touch the number of the continued cooking setting you  
require until a tone sounds and the continued cooking  
setting selected starts flashing.  
The continued cooking setting selected will flash during the  
heat-up time.  
Altering the continued cooking setting will deactivate auto  
heat-up.  
If the range of power settings has been extended (see  
"Programming") and one of the intermediate continued  
cooking settings has been selected (e.g. 3+) the power level  
before and after the intermediate setting will flash (e.g. 3 and  
4).  
Deactivating  
You can switch off auto heat-up before the auto heat-up time  
has finished.  
^ Touch the continued cooking setting which has been  
selected until the display lights up constantly or select a  
different power level.

Operation  
Switching on the extended cooking area  
When cooking with larger pans, the outer circle of a double  
circle/extended zone (see "Guide to the appliance") can be  
switched on to provide an extended cooking area.  
For hobs with a combination extended zone, two cooking  
zones (one behind the other) are switched on together with  
the heating element located between them. The combination  
extended zone is operated via the front right cooking zone.  
When the outer circle is switched on the sensor for the  
extended cooking area lights up more brightly than normal.  
For hobs with a triple circle zone (depending on model), no  
distinction is made in the display between the second and  
third heating element.  
The extended cooking area will switch off when the cooking  
zone is switched off.  
Double circle zone / Extended zone

Suitable pans  
Most suitable  
The best pans for use on a ceramic hob are those 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  
Less suitable  
Pans made of glass, ceramic or stoneware are less  
suitable, as they do not conduct the heat so well.  
Not suitable  
Dishes or containers made from plastic or aluminium foil  
must not be used as these melt at high temperatures.  
– Aluminium pans or pans with an aluminium base can  
cause metallic, shiny marks to appear on the ceramic  
surface. These marks can be removed using a ceramic  
and stainless steel hob cleaner (see "Cleaning and care").  
– Do not use pots and pans on the ceramic hob with bases  
with pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans.  
These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently.  
– Lift pans into position on the hob. Sliding them into place  
can cause scuffs and scratches.  
– Often the maximum diameter quoted by manufacturers  
refers to the diameter of the top rim of the pot or pan. The  
diameter of the base (generally smaller) is more important.  
28

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.  
too small  
suitable  
– Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss.  
uncovered  
covered  
– 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.  
– Cooking times are greatly reduced when using a pressure  
cooker.

Safety features  
Overheating protection  
Each zone is equipped with overheating protection (internal  
temperature limiter). This switches off the heating elements in  
the cooking zone before the ceramic surface overheats.  
If the heating element switches on and off even when the  
highest power level is selected, this indicates that the  
overheating protection mechanism has triggered.  
Once the ceramic surface has cooled down to a safe level,  
the heating element will automatically switch back on again.  
Overheating can be caused by:  
– a cooking zone being switched on without a pan on it.  
– heating up an empty pan.  
– the base of a pan not sitting evenly on the cooking zone.  
– the pan not conducting heat properly.

Cleaning and care  
Do not use washing-up liquid to clean the ceramic surface.  
Washing-up liquid will not remove all soiling and deposits.  
It will form an invisible coating which will cause permanent  
discolouration of the ceramic surface.  
Clean the hob regularly with a suitable ceramic hob  
cleaner.  
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 Miele 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 hob 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  
Miele's 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.

To test the power level  
You can test the power level of a cooking zone by measuring  
how long it takes to bring a specific amount of water to the  
boil.  
The pan (and lid) must be stainless steel or enamel. The  
diameter of the pan must match the cooking zone, and be  
flat-bottomed or slightly concave.  
^ Take a note of the diameter and wattage of the cooking  
zone to be tested (see "Guide to the appliance - Cooking  
zones").  
^ Fill the pan with the quantity of water given in the table. The  
temperature of the water should be approx. 20°C.  
^ Put the lid on the pan and place the pan on the cooking  
zone.  
^ Switch on the cooking zone at the highest power level.  
^ Note the time it takes for the water to boil.  
The power level for the cooking zone is correct if the water  
boils within the time given in the table.  
The time can vary if:  
- there is low or excess voltage.  
- very cold water is used.  
- an unsuitable pan is used.  
- the pan is not covered.

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

Installation  
Worktops made of wood  
The exact positions of the spring  
clamps, and the safety brackets for  
hobs with bevelled edges, are shown  
in the building-in dimensions for the  
particular hob.  
^ Seal the cut surfaces with a 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.  
Hobs with bevelled edges:  
The sealing strip will ensure that the  
hob sits securely in the cut-out. Any  
gap between the frame and worktop  
will reduce with time.  
^ Make the worktop cut-out according  
to the dimensions given in the  
building-in dimensions. Remember to  
maintain the minimum safety  
distances (see "Safety instructions  
for installation").  
^ Depending on model, place spring  
clamps a (supplied) on the upper  
edge of the cut-out or for hobs with  
bevelled edges, safety brackets b  
(supplied) flush with the upper edge  
of the cut-out.  
^ Secure the spring clamps a or  
safety brackets b using the  
3.5 x 25 mm wood screws supplied.

Installing the hob  
^ Feed the hob connection cable down  
through the cut-out.  
^ Position the hob on the spring  
clamps.  
^ Using both hands, press down  
evenly on the sides of the hob until it  
clicks into position. 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).  
If the corners of the frame are not  
flush with the worktop surface, the  
corner radius (ß R4) can be carefully  
scribed to fit.  
^ Connect the hob to the mains.  
^ Check that the hob works.  
The hob can now only be removed  
with a special tool.
