Before using for the first time
Clean the cooktop
Heat the cooktop
^ Before using for the first time, clean
the appliance with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth.
Only for facet cooktops:
A small gap between the cooktop
and the work surface may be visible
in the first days of operation. It will
become smaller during use. Despite
this small gap, the electrical safety of
your appliance is always ensured.
Do not use liquid dish soap to clean
the cooktop, this may cause
permanent blue discolorations.
Metal components of the appliance
have a protective coating which may
give off a slight odor the first time the
appliance is heated.
The smell will dissipate after a short
time and does not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance defect.
11
How the burners operate
One-zone burners use one heating
strip; two-zone burners and grill zones
have two heating strips. Depending on
the model, the heating strips may be
separated by a ring.
One-zone burner
Each burner has overheating protection
(internal temperature limiter) feature to
prevent the ceramic glass from
overheating (see "Overheat protection").
aOverheat protection
When a power level is set, the heat
element turns on and the heating strip
is visible through the ceramic glass.
bHeating strip
The power setting determines how hot
the burner will get, and is electronically
regulated. This means that the burner
will switch on and off as needed to
maintain the selected power level.

13
Operation
Residual heat indicator
After turning on a burner, for example
the left front, a specified temperature is
reached, the associated residual heat
indicator lights up.
After turning off the burner, the residual
heat indicator will go out. The residual
heat indicator will turn off once the
cooking zone is safe to the touch.
Do not touch the burner or rest any
objects on the cooktop when the
residual heat indicator is on. Danger
of burns!
14
Selecting cookware
– Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth Energy saving tips
bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms
will also work adequately. Pans with
convex bottoms will not cook well.
– For the most even and energy
efficient cooking, the diameter of the
pots/pans should match the diameter
of the burners as closely as possible.

– Cast iron, glass or stoneware should
not be used because they have poor
heat transfer and may scratch the
cooktop surface.
too small
fits
– Whenever possible, keep pots and
pans closed while cooking. This
helps keep in the most possible heat.
– Also unsuitable is plastic or
aluminum foil cookware. These melt
at high temperatures.
– 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.

– Use a small pot for small amounts. A
small pot on a small burner needs
less energy then a larger partly filled
pot on a large burner.
Be sure to clean the cooktop after
each use. Each time this residue is
allowed to melt it becomes harder to
remove and may mar the

appearance of the cooktop.
Let the cooktop cool before
cleaning.
– For longer cooking periods, you can
switch off the cooking zone 5 to 10
minutes before the total cooking time
is completed. The residual heat will
continue to cook the food.
– Use only pots and pans with flat
bases. Sharp pot and pan bases
scratch the ceramic glass surface.
– Lift the cookware when moving it. In
this way you will avoid streaking from
friction and scratching.
15
Overheat protection
Each cooking zone is equipped with a
temperature limiter. This feature
automatically turns off the heating
element before the glass ceramic
becomes too hot. Once the ceramic
surface has cooled to a safe
temperature the heating element will
automatically turn back on.
The overheat protection may be
activated by:
– turning on a burner without putting a
pan on it.
– heating an empty pan.
– an uneven pan not sitting evenly on
the burner.
– the pan not conducting heat
properly.
If the heating elements cycle on and
off, even at the highest setting, the
overheating protection has been
activated.

penetrate electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurized
steam could cause permanent
damage to the surface.
Clean the appliance regularly,
preferably after each use. Allow the
appliance to cool before cleaning.
Do not use any sharp pointed
objects which could damage the
seal between the ceramic surface,
the surrounding frame and the
countertop.
Ceramic surfaces
^ Wipe off any soiling using a damp
cloth. Stubborn soiling is best
removed with a shielded scraper
blade.
Never use abrasive cleaners,
caustic (oven) cleaners, dishwasher
detergent, scouring pads, steel wool
or hard brushes. They will damage
the surface.
^ Apply a ceramic cleaner (available
from Miele) using a soft cloth or
paper towel.
^ To remove any limescale deposits or
metallic residue apply a ceramic
cleaner using a soft cloth or use a
shielded scraper blade if necessary.
The ceramic surface can be cleaned
using a cleaner for ceramic
surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
^ After cleaning wipe the ceramic
surface with a damp cloth and dry.
A cleaner with a special additive to
prevent water marks and smears on the
ceramic surface may be used.
Make sure that no cleaner residue
remains on the ceramic surface by
carefully wiping the cooktop with a
damp cloth. They may damage the
cooktop or produce toxic fumes
when heated.
Any melted solids like sugar, plastic or
aluminum foil should be removed as
quickly as possible, while the burner is
still warm. If they are allowed to harden
the cooktop may become pitted.
Be sure that pot and pan bases are
clean and dry.
^ Turn the burner off.
^ Using a shielded scraper blade,
scrape the melted item immediately
off the burner while it is still hot.
Use caution: Danger of burns!
After cleaning dry the ceramic
surface with a soft cloth to prevent a
build up of limescale deposits.
^ Allow the cooktop to cool and clean
as previously described.

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 distance
between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be a minimum of
2" (50 mm).
For coverings made of non-combustible materials (such as metal, marble, granite
or ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance e 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).

Ensure that these materials do not
get on the top surface of the
countertop panels.
A special sealing strip ensures the
slip-proof seating of the cooktop in
the cutout. The gap between the
frame and the countertop will narrow
after a little time has passed.
^ Create the countertop cutout as
shown in the "Installation
dimensions". Observe the safety
distances (see "Installation Safety
Instructions").
^ Position the spring clips and the
securing strips (supplied with the
appliance; only for facet cooktops)
on the top edge of the cut-out
