reheating food such as poultry, it is
particularly important that the food is
completely cooked through. If in doubt,
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.

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 you 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.

appliance.
Before using for the first time, clean the
appliance with a damp cloth only and
then wipe dry.
When the appliance is used for the first
time, it may give off a slight smell. The
smell and any vapours will dissipate
after a short time. They are not harmful
and do not indicate a faulty connection
or appliance.
Do not use washing-up liquid to
clean the ceramic surface as it can
leave a blue sheen which may be
difficult to remove.

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 .
28
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.
29
Induction
Pans
Pan size
To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with base
Suitable pans include:
– stainless steel pans with a magnetic
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.
– enamelled steel pans
– cast iron pans
Unsuitable pans:
– stainless steel pans without a
magnetic base
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
– aluminium and copper pans
– glass, ceramic or earthenware pots
and pans
(generally smaller) is more important.
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.
Tips on saving energy
Use a lid whenever possible to
minimise heat loss.
Please be aware that the properties of
the pan base can affect the eveness
with which food heats up in the pan.

Use
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. boiling water for cooking
pasta. When Booster l is activated, the
cooking zones will operate with extra
power for 10 minutes and when Booster
II is activated with extra power for 15
minutes.
When the booster is switched on, the
following happens:
– if Auto heat-up is activated on either
zone in the same network, this will be
switched off.
The Booster function can only be used
on two cooking zones at the same time,
one on the left and one on the right.
– the power level on the other linked
cooking zone will sometimes
decrease.
If the Booster function is switched on
when
– no setting has been selected, the
cooking zone will revert automatically
to setting 9 at the end of the Booster
time or if the Booster function is
switched off before this.
When Booster II is switched on, the
linked cooking zone is switched off.
– a setting has been selected, the
cooking zone will revert automatically
to the setting selected at the end of
the Booster time or if the Booster
function is switched off before this.
Taking a pan off the zone whilst the
Booster is in operation interrupts the
Booster function. It will resume if a pan
is placed back on the zone within 3
minutes.

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.

Problem solving guide
... one of the following has occurred:
... The cooling fan continues to run
after the appliance has been
switched off.
– The Booster has deactivated early
automatically.
This is not a fault. The fan will continue
running until the appliance has cooled
down. It will then switch itself off
automatically.
– The power level has been reduced.
– The cooking zone is not working in
the usual way at the power level set.
The overheating protection mechanism
has been triggered (see "Overheating
protection").
... an F appears in the display for the
rear cooking zones, an E appears in
the display for the front cooking
zones and numbers appear in the
timer display.
... the food in the pan hardly heats up
or does not heat up at all when the
Auto heat-up function is switched on
FE99:
The overheating protection mechanism
for the induction coil has been
triggered. The cooking zone can be
used again as soon as it has cooled
down to a safe level.
This could be because:
– there is too much food in the pan.
– the pan is not conducting heat
properly.
With other fault messages:
Interrupt the power supply to the hob
for approx. 1 minute.
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.
If the problem persists after
reconnecting the appliance to the
power supply, please contact the Miele
Service department.

Optional accessories
Miele appliances are designed to give the best possible
results and 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) or from your
Miele dealer.
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 with
the 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.
54
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 stan-
d 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.
Recommended
Not recommended
55
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.
56
Safety instructions for installation
Safety distance when installing the appliance near a wall with additional
niche cladding
There must be a minimum distance of 50 mm between the niche cladding and the
worktop cut-out.
This distance is only necessary for niche cladding made of wood or any other
combustible material. For non-combustible materials (metal, ceramic tiles or
similar), this dimension can be reduced by the thickness of the niche cladding
material. The materials can warp or distort when subjected to high temperatures.

through the cut-out.
^ Make the worktop cut-out following
the dimensions applicable.
^ 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.
Remember to maintain a minimum
safety distance from the back wall,
as well as from any tall unit or side
wall to the right or left of the hob.
See "Safety instructions for

installation".
^ Check that the hob works.
^ Seal the cut surfaces on
wood/laminated worktops with a
suitable heat-resistant sealant to
avoid swelling caused by moisture.
If, during installation, you find that
the seals on the corners of the frame
are not flush with the worktop, the
corner radius ß R4, can be carefully
scribed to suit.
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.
72
Hob with frame or bevelled edge
General installation tips
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.
