IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Injury prevention  
Protect your hands with insulated  
gloves or potholders when using  
the appliance. Only use dry, heat  
resistant potholders. Moist or damp  
potholders used on hot surfaces can  
result in steam burns. Do not let the  
potholder touch the heating element.  
Do not use towels or other bulky items  
near the appliance.  
Do not touch the cooktop or the  
area surrounding it during or im-  
immediately after use. The cooktop may  
be hot even though it is dark in color.  
Areas near it may become hot enough  
to cause burns. During or after use, do  
not touch, or let clothing or other  
flammable materials touch the cooktop  
or surface areas near it until they have  
cooled. Wait for the residual heat  
indicator lights go out.  
Clean the cook top with caution -  
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to  
wipe spills off a hot cooking area, be  
careful to avoid steam burns.  
Also, some cleaners can produce  
harmful fumes if applied to a hot  
surface.  
CAUTION: Do not store toys or  
items of interest to children in  
cabinets above or behind the  
appliance. Children climbing onto the  
cooktop to reach these items may be  
injured.  
Keep all pans out of reach of  
children. Danger of burns!  
Children should not be left alone in  
the area where the appliance is in  
use. They should never be allowed to  
sit or stand on any part of the  
appliance.  
Pan handles should be turned in  
and not extend over the area of a  
burner to reduce risk of burns, ignition  
of flammable materials, and spills due  
to unintentional contact with the pan.

heats.  
Do not use water on grease fires.  
Smother any fire or flame, or use a  
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.  
When frying food, make sure that  
the food is as dry as possible  
before placing it in the oil. Moisture can  
cause hot oil to splatter and boil over.  
Only certain types of glass,  
glass/ceramic, ceramic  
earthenware, or other glazed pots and  
pans are suitable for range-top service  
without breaking due to sudden change  
in temperature.  
Do not flambé under an exhaust  
hood. Flames could be drawn up  
into the hood by the suction and pos-  
sibly cause the grease filters to ignite.  
Do not heat unopened food  
containers. Built-up pressure may  
cause the container to burst and result  
in injury.  
Do not let cooking grease or other  
flammable materials accumulate  
on the appliance.  
Never leave surface units  
unattended at high heat settings.  
Boil overs cause smoking and greasy  
spillovers may ignite.  
Be aware of loose fitting or hanging  
garments when operating the  
cooktop, they may present a fire  
hazard.  
Before removing pots and pans, be  
sure to turn off the burners.  
Flammable materials should not be  
stored in a oven or near surface  
units.  
Do not store items on the  
appliance when not in use. Items  
could melt or catch fire from residual  
heat or if the cooktop is turned on  
inadvertently.  
If there is a drawer directly  
underneath the appliance without  
any wooden base in between, ensure  
that no aerosols, combustible liquids or  
other easily flammable materials are  
kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be  
placed in the drawer, they must be  
made of heat-resistant material.  
Never cover the cooktop with a  
cloth. A fire could result.

16  
Selecting cookware  
The cooking surface  
Pots and pans  
Your ceramic cooktop is made of an  
extremely hard and durable material.  
The surface is scratch resistant, not  
scratch proof. Avoid using cookware  
with ridged bottoms. Ridged pots with  
dirty or chipped enamel bottoms may  
scratch the cooktop if they are pulled  
across the ceramic surface.  
Special cookware is not required, but  
as is true with all types of cooking  
appliances, the better the cookware,  
the better the performance.  
Following these tips will allow you to  
make the most of your ceramic  
cooktop.  
Make sure the cooktop and pot bottoms  
are clean before cooking. Certain  
items, particularly sugar grains or  
crystallized liquids such as molasses or  
syrups are actually harder than ceramic  
and can scratch the surface if they are  
not cleaned off immediately. Small or  
light scratches will not affect the safety  
or performance of the cooktop however.  
– For the most even and energy  
efficient cooking, the diameter of the  
pots should match the diameter of  
the burners as closely as possible.  
The burner rings and touch controls are  
fused into the ceramic glass and are  
resistant to wear if properly maintained.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads,  
as they may eventually wear off the  
rings.  
– Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth  
bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms  
will also work adequately. Pans with  
convex bottoms will not cook well.  
17  
Selecting cookware  
– Using a lid while cooking will  
minimize the loss of heat and  
decrease the cooking time.  
– Copper bottom and aluminum pans  
may leave a residue on the cooktop  
in the form of metallic lines. This is  
normal. These lines can be removed  
using a non-abrasive ceramic  
cooktop cleaner or a shielded  
scraper blade.  
Be sure to clean the cooktop after  
each use. Each time the residue is  
allowed to melt it becomes harder to  
remove and may mar the  
appearance of the cooktop.  
Let the cooktop cool before  
cleaning.  
– Cast iron, glass or stoneware should  
not be used because they have poor  
heat transfer and may scratch the  
surface.  
18  
Cooktop care  
^ The ceramic surface should be  
When cleaning the cooktop, make sure  
the cooktop is "Off", and be careful not  
to accidentally turn it "On".  
cleaned regularly with a cleaner for  
ceramic surfaces. Follow the ceramic  
cleaner manufacturer’s instructions. If  
you have difficulty locating a suitable  
product contact Miele.  
Under no circumstances should a  
steam cleaner be used to clean this  
appliance. Pressurized steam could  
cause permanent damage to the  
surface and to components for which  
the manufacturer cannot accept  
responsibility.  
^ Before cleaning allow the cooktop to  
cool. Wipe spills using a damp  
sponge. Stubborn spills are best  
removed with a shielded scraper  
blade.  
^ To remove any limescale deposits or  
metallic residue apply ceramic  
cleanser using a soft cloth or use a  
shielded scraper blade if necessary.  
Do not use any sharp pointed objects  
which could damage the seal between  
the ceramic surface, the surrounding  
frame and the countertop.  
^ A cleaner with a special additive to  
prevent water marks and smears on  
the ceramic surface may be used.  
Never use scouring agents, pads,  
abrasive cleaning agents or strong  
cleaners, e.g. oven sprays, stain or  
rust removers, as these could  
^ After cleaning, wipe the ceramic  
surface with a damp cloth to remove  
any residue. Cleaner residues could  
damage the cooktop or create toxic  
fumes when heated. Finally, dry the  
cooktop with a clean soft cloth.  
damage the surface of the appliance.  
After cleaning, thoroughly dry the  
ceramic surface with a soft cloth to  
prevent a build up of limescale  
deposits.  
^ Any melted solids (e.g. sugar, plastic,  
syrup, aluminum foil, etc.) should be  
removed as quickly as possible and  
while the burner is still warm. If they  
are allowed to harden, the cooktop  
may become pitted. Scrape the  
melted item off the cooktop using a  
shielded scraper blade. Once the  
cooktop has cooled, remove any  
remaining residue using a ceramic  
cooktop cleaner.

Frequently asked questions  
. . . a burner shuts off during use and  
"H" flashes in the display?  
Repairs to the electrical components  
of this appliance should only be  
performed by a trained technician.  
Repairs by unauthorized personnel  
could cause personal injury or  
damage the cooktop.  
If a burner has been on for an extended  
period of time, it will automatically shut  
itself off and flash an "H" in the display.  
This time will range from 1 to 10 hours  
depending on the setting selected.  
Some minor problems can be resolved  
as follows:  
To reset the burner:  
^ Select "0" first, then select the desired  
cooking setting.  
What if . . .  
An "H" flashing in the display after the  
burner has been manually shut off is  
normal. This is the residual heat  
indicator telling you that the burner is  
still hot.  
. . . you notice a slight odor when  
using the cooktop for the first time?  
This is normal. The residual moisture in  
the internal insulation is drying out. The  
odor should disappear after one or two  
uses.  
. . . food does not cook satisfactorily  
when using the automatic pre-heat  
feature?  
. . . a burner will not turn on?  
^ Check that the cooking setting is  
correct for the pans being used and  
the items being cooked.  
Check to see if the cooktop has been  
"locked" (see "Locking a burner").  
^ Make sure the cooktop is connected  
to the main power supply and that  
the circuit breaker has not tripped.  
^ If the pots have poor or slow heat  
transfer qualities, they will take longer  
to reach cooking temperature than  
the burners. In this case, the pots  
should be allowed to heat up before  
placing the food in them, or a higher  
cooking setting should be chosen.

Installation Instructions  
To prevent accidents  
and machine damage  
read these instructions  
before  
installation or use.  
Installation instructions  
Please read this section in its  
entirety before installing the  
cooktop.  
The rated load and voltage are  
printed on the data plate. Make sure  
they match those of the main power  
supply.  
As a general rule there must be at  
least 30" (760 mm) between the top  
of the appliance and any object  
above it. If the manufacturer of said  
object recommends a different  
distance, follow that manufacturer’s  
recommendation.  
Ideally, the cooktop should be installed  
with no walls (other than the rear wall)  
or tall cabinets directly adjacent to it. It  
can be installed next to one wall,  
however, as long as the spacings listed  
below are maintained.  
To avoid damaging the cooktop, it  
should only be placed in the  
countertop after any exhaust hood  
or cabinetry have been installed  
above it.  
Do not install the cooktop directly  
above a dishwasher, refrigerator or  
freezer. Heat radiated by the  
cooktop may damage them.  
If the cooktop is installed above an  
oven, make sure the cooktop’s  
power cord does not come into  
contact with the oven.  
40 mm = 1 ½"  
50 mm = 2"  
When installing cooktops, keep in  
mind that they will radiate some heat  
sideways as well as straight up. For  
this reason, the recommended  
distances from the surrounding  
cabinets must be maintained for  
safety reasons.  
To reduce the risk of burns when  
reaching over the cooktop, avoid  
installing the cooktop below wall  
mounted cabinets.  
If cabinets are installed above the  
cooktop, the risk of burns can be  
reduced by installing an exhaust hood  
that extends at least 5" (13 cm) beyond  
the bottom of the cabinet.
