18  
 
Warning and Safety instructions  
Correct use  
Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the  
~
appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fat.  
If oil or fat does catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with  
water. Disconnect the appliance from the mains and use a suitable  
fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the  
flames.  
Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do  
~
not flambé under a cooker hood.  
Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can  
~
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or  
substances in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be  
heat-resistant.  
Do not heat an empty pan.  
~
Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob, as pressure will  
~
build up in the tin, causing it to explode.  
Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective  
~
foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the appliance is  
switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.  
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food  
~
blender, near the appliance, ensure that the cable of the electrical  
appliance cannot come into contact with the hot appliance. The  
insulation on the cable could become damaged.  
Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.  
~
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the hob.  
If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may  
~
only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the door  
whilst the hob in use or whilst there is any residual heat present.  
19  
 
Warning and Safety instructions  
The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while  
~
after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the  
residual heat indicators go out.  
You could burn yourself on the hot hob. Protect your hands with  
~
heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and  
pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to  
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or  
burning yourself.  
When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by  
~
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of  
any metal items left on the hob heating up, with the danger of  
burning.  
Depending on the material, other items left on the hob could also  
melt or catch fire.  
Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult  
to dislodge.  
Do not use the appliance as a resting place.  
Switch the cooking zones off after use.  
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or  
~
aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot, as  
they can damage the ceramic surface when it cools down. If this  
should occur, switch off the appliance and scrape off all the sugar,  
plastic or aluminium residues from the hob whilst still hot, using a  
shielded scraper blade. Wear oven gloves.  
Allow the cooking zones to cool down and then clean them with a  
suitable ceramic hob cleaning agent.  
Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do  
~
not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.  
Do not use pots or pans on the hob with bases with pronounced  
~
edges or ridges. These could scratch or scour the ceramic glass  
surface permanently. Only use pots and pans with smooth bases.  
20  
 
Warning and Safety instructions  
Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables)  
~
can cause scratches if they get under pan bases. Make sure that  
the ceramic surface is clean before placing pans on it.  
Even a light object could cause damage in certain  
~
circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.  
Placing hot objects on the sensors and displays could damage  
~
the electronics underneath them. Do not place hot pans on the  
sensors and displays.  
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the  
~
appliance when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the  
appliance to heat up the room.  
The control panel and the hob frame or hob edges (on hobs with  
~
bevelled edges) can become hot due to the influence of the  
following factors: operating duration, high power level(s), large pans  
and the number of cooking zones being used.  
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").  
To prevent the risk of spillages etc. burning on, remove any  
~
soiling as quickly as possible and ensure that pan bases are clean,  
dry and free of grease.  
Cleaning and care  
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.  
~
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short  
circuit.  
21  
 
Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposing of your old  
appliance  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials  
which are environmentally friendly for  
disposal and should be recycled.  
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 dispose of it with  
household waste.  
Recycling the packaging reduces the  
use of raw materials in the  
manufacturing process and also  
reduces the amount of waste in landfill  
sites. 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.  
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.  
22  
 
Before using for the first time  
Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied  
with this documentation in the space provided in the "After  
sales service, data plate" section of this booklet.  
Cleaning for the first time  
^ Remove any protective wrapping and adhesive labels.  
^ Before using for the first time, clean the appliance with a  
damp cloth only and then wipe dry.  
Before using for the first time  
On hobs with bevelled glass edges, a small gap may be  
visible between the hob and the worktop during the first  
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.  
23  
 
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  
Operating principals  
The hob is equipped with electronic sensor controls which  
react to finger contact.  
To operate the hob, touch the relevant sensor. Each time you  
touch a sensor, an audible tone sounds.  
In order to set or alter a power level or the time (depending  
on model), the cooking zones and the timer must be "active".  
To activate a cooking zone or the timer, touch the sensor for  
selecting the relevant cooking zone or the timer. After you  
have touched the sensor, the relevant cooking zone or timer  
display will start to flash. The cooking zone or the timer is  
"active" whilst the displays are flashing and you can set a  
power level or time.  
Exception:  
If only one of the cooking zones is in operation, you can alter  
the power level without activating the cooking zone.  
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.  
25  
 
Operation  
Switching on  
The hob must be switched on before any of the zones can be  
used.  
Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being

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.  
To activate Auto heat-up  
^ Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want.  
The cooking zone display will flash.  
^ Touch the number for the continued cooking setting you  
want until an audible tone sounds and the indicator light to  
the right of the continued cooking setting lights up.  
The indicator light to the right of the continued cooking  
setting will go out at the end of the auto heat-up time.  
In the extended range of power levels (see "Programming"), A  
flashes alternately with the continued cooking setting during  
the heat-up time.  
Altering the continued cooking setting will deactivate Auto  
heat-up.  
To deactivate Auto heat-up  
You can switch off Auto heat-up before the Auto heat-up time  
has finished.  
^ Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want.  
The cooking zone display will flash.

Operation  
Outer ring of a vario/extended zone  
When switching on a two ring, three ring and ExtraSpeed  
cooking zone the second heating ring is automatically  
switched on. The second heating ring of an extended  
cooking zone and the ExtendedPlus zone and the outer ring  
of a three ring zone must be manually switched on.  
This factory setting can be changed (see "Programming").  
With an ExtendedPlus zone, two consecutive cooking zones,  
one behind the other, with a bridging element in between, are  
switched on together. The ExtendedPlus zone is operated via  
the front right cooking zone.  
A control light comes on to show that the zone has been  
switched on, while the power level flashes in the cooking  
zone display. The indicator light will go out when the power  
level lights up constantly in the display. For hobs with a triple  
ring zone (depending on model), no distinction is made in the  
display between the second and third heating element.

line only goes out when the cooking zone is safe to touch.  
Do not touch or place any heat-sensitive objects on the  
cooking zones while the residual heat indicators are on.  
Danger of burning and fire hazard.  
If there is an interruption to the power supply, the residual  
heat indicators will flash on and off.  
33  
 
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.  
34  
 
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.  
35  
 
Timer  
The hob must be switched on to use the timer.  
The timer can be used for two different functions:  
– to set the minute minder  
– to set a cooking zone to switch off automatically.  
You can select a time from 1 minute (01) to 9 hours (9^).  
A time of up to 99 minutes is set and displayed in minutes.  
Example:  
To set a time of more than 99 minutes, the timer must be set  
to hours (h). The time is then set in half hour stages. The half  
hour is indicated by a dot after the number.  
Example (2 h 30 min):  
h
When the set time has elapsed 00 will appear in the timer  
display. At the same time an audible tone will sound for a few  
seconds.

Timer  
To switch a cooking zone off automatically  
You can set a time at the end of which a cooking zone will  
switch off automatically.  
All the cooking zones can be programmed at the same time.  
If the time programmed is longer than the maximum  
operational time allowed, the cooking zone will switch off  
after the maximum time allowed (see "Safety switch-off").  
^ Select a power level for the cooking zone you want.  
^ Touch the m sensor repeatedly until the indicator lamp for  
this cooking zone flashes.  
If more than one cooking zone is switched on, the indicator  
lamps will flash clockwise beginning with the front left zone.  
^ Set the time you want.  
The time set will then count down in minutes. The time  
remaining will be shown in the timer display. You can change  
this at any time.  
If you want to set another cooking zone to switch off  
automatically, follow the same steps as described above.  
If more than one switch-off time is programmed, the shortest  
time remaining will show in the display, and the  
corresponding indicator lamp will flash. All the other indicator  
lamps will light up constantly. If you want to check on the time  
remaining for another zone, touch the m sensor repeatedly  
until the indicator lamp for the zone you want flashes.  
40  
 
Timer  
To use both timer functions at the same time  
The minute minder and automatic switch-off functions can be  
used at the same time.  
If you have programmed in one or more switch-off times, and  
would like to use the minute minder as well:  
Touch the m sensor repeatedly until the indicator lamps for  
the cooking zones you have programmed light up constantly  
and 00 appears in the timer display.  
If you are using the minute minder, and would like to  
programme in one or more switch-off times as well:  
Touch the m sensor repeatedly until the indicator lamp for  
the cooking zone you want flashes.  
Shortly after the last entry, the timer display switches to the  
function with the shortest remaining time.  
If you want to show the times remaining which are counting  
down in the background, touch the m repeatedly until  
- the indicator lamp for the cooking zone you want flashes  
(automatic switch-off).  
- only the timer display is flashing (minute minder).  
Starting with the shortest time remaining which is shown in  
the display, all cooking zones which are switched on and the  
minute minder are selected clockwise.

Safety features  
Overheating/pan protection  
Each zone is equipped with an overheating protection  
mechanism (internal temperature limiter).  
The ExtraSpeed cooking zone is also equipped with pan  
protection. If you wish to use it you will need to alter the  
setting (see "Programming / Pre-heat").  
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.  
The cooking zone heating element switches off when the pan  
protection mechanism is activated. 9 alternating with 0 will  
appear in the display.  
^ Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want.  
The display changes and only 0 flashes. You can now use  
the hob 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.  
47  
 
Cleaning and care  
For Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products see  
"Optional accessories".  
,Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this  
appliance. The steam could reach electrical components  
and cause a short circuit.  
The appliance should be cleaned after each use. Let it cool  
down to room temperature before cleaning.  
To avoid water marks and limescale deposits, use a soft cloth  
to dry surfaces that have been cleaned with water.  
To avoid damaging the surface of your appliance, do not  
use:  
– washing-up liquid,  
– cleaning agents containing soda, alkalines, ammonia,  
acids or chlorides,  
– cleaning agents containing descaling agents,  
– stain or rust removers,  
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream  
cleaners,  
– solvent-based cleaning agents,  
– dishwasher cleaner,  
– grill and oven cleaners,  
– glass cleaning agents,  
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges, e.g. pot scourers,  
brushes or sponges which have been previously used with  
abrasive cleaning agents,  
– melamine eraser blocks,  
– sharp, pointed objects which could damage the seal  
between the ceramic surface and the surrounding frame,  
and between the frame and the worktop.  
48  
 
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.  
49

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.
