Warning and Safety instructions

• Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
• The hob is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a remote control system. The hob must be connected to the electricity supply by a qualified electrician (see “Installation ­ Electrical connection”).
• If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a special mains connection cable by a qualified electrician (see “Electrical connection” in the “Installation” chapter).
• The hob must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply during installation, maintenance and repair work. Ensure that power is not supplied to the appliance until after it has been installed or until any maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
• Danger of electric shock. Do not use the hob if it is faulty, or if the ceramic surface is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Switch it off immediately. Disconnect the hob from the mains electricity supply. Contact Miele Service.
• If the hob is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the door while the hob is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the closed door. This can result in damage to the hob, the housing unit and the floor. Do not close the door until the residual heat indicators go out.

Correct use

• The hob 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.
• Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the hob when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the hob to heat up the room.
• Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire.
• Do not leave the hob unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not attempt to put the flames out with water. Disconnect the hob from the mains and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
• Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used. It should be continually monitored whilst boiling and flash frying.
• 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 food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars on the hob, as pressure can build up in the container, 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 hob is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.

Warning and Safety instructions

• 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.
• 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 using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food blender, near the hob, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot come into contact with the hot hob. The insulation on the cable could become damaged.
• 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 can cause damage in certain circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
• Placing hot pans on the sensors and indicators could damage the electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the sensors or indicators.
• Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminum foil to get onto the hob when it is 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 aluminum residues whilst still hot, using a shielded scraper blade suitable for use on glass. Wear oven gloves when doing this. Allow the ceramic surface to cool down and then clean it with a suitable ceramic hob cleaning agent.

Warning and Safety instructions

• Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used.
• Only use pots and pans with smooth bases. Rough bases will scratch the ceramic glass.
• Lift pans into position on the hob. Sliding them into place can cause scuffs and scratches.
• Plastic and aluminum foil containers melt at high temperatures. Do not use plastic or aluminum foil containers on the hob.
• The hob frame or hob edges (on hobs with beveled edges) and the controls 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.
• Pots and pans made of aluminum or with an aluminum base can leave a metallic sheen on the hob. This can be removed with the ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner (see “Cleaning and care”).
• If spills remain on the hob for any length of time they can burn on and in certain circumstances become impossible to remove. Remove any soiling as quickly as possible and ensure that pan bases are clean, dry and free of grease.
• Do not use the ceramic surface for preparing food on. Always use suitable pots and pans.

Cleaning and care

• Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this hob.
  The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
• Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your hob.

How the cooking zones work

Single circle cooking zones have one heating element, whilst double circle cooking zones and extended zones have two. Depending on the model, the heating elements may be separated by an insulating 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, heating is activated and the glowing heater element can be seen through the ceramic surface. The heater rating of the cooking zones depends on the power level selected, and is

electronically regulated. The “timing” of the cooking zone is controlled by switching the element on and off.

Pans

The best pots and pans are metal ones 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

Glass, ceramic, or stoneware is less suitable. These materials do not conduct the heat well.

Cutlery made of synthetic material, and aluminum foil are not suitable. These melt at high temperatures.

Pots and pans made of aluminium or with an aluminium base can leave a metallic sheen on the hob. This can be removed with the ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner (see “Cleaning and care”).

Please be aware that the properties of the pan base can affect the evenness with which the food heats up (e.g. when making pancakes).

– To make optimum use of the cooking zones, choose pans with a suitable base diameter (see chapter “Cooking zones”).

– Use only pots and pans with smooth bases. Rough bases can scratch the ceramic glass.

– Always lift the pans to move them. This will help prevent scratching.

– 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 (generally smaller) is more important.

27

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.

– Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimize heat loss.

– 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.

– Use a pressure cooker to reduce cooking times.

28

Setting range

The hob is programmed with 9 power levels at the factory. If you wish to fine-tune a setting, you can extend the power level range to 17 power levels (see “Programming”).

These settings should only be taken as a guide. They apply to 4 normal servings. With deep pans, large quantities or when cooking without the lid, a higher setting is required. For smaller quantities, select a lower setting.

* The ExtraSpeed cooking zone works on power level 9 with extra high output.

29

Operation

Using the appliance  

This ceramic hob is equipped with electronic sensor controls which react to finger contact. For safety reasons, in order to switch the appliance on, the On/Off    sensor needs to be touched for a little longer than the other sensors. Each time a sensor control is activated, an audible signal sounds.

When the hob is switched off, you can only see the printed symbols for the On/ Off    and Wipe protection    controls. More sensors light up when the hob is switched on.

  Malfunction due to dirty and/or covered sensor controls.

If the sensor controls are dirty or covered this could cause them to fail to react, to activate a function or even to switch the appliance off automatically (see “Safety features”, “Safety switch-off”). Placing hot pans on the sensor controls/ indicators can damage the electronic unit underneath.

Keep the sensor controls and indicators clean.

Do not place anything over the sensor control or indicators. Do not place hot pans over the sensor controls or indicators.

  Touch the sensor for the continued cooking setting.

or  

  Set another power level.  

* The continued cooking settings with a dot after the number are only available if the power level range has been extended (see “Programming”). 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.

33

Operation

Keeping warm  

The maximum duration for keeping food warm is 2 hours.

– Only use pans for keeping food warm. Cover the pan with a lid.

– Stir firm or viscous food (mashed potatoes, stew) occasionally.

– Nutrients are lost when food is cooked, and continue to diminish when food is kept warm. The longer food is kept warm, the greater the loss of nutrients. Try to ensure that food is kept warm for as short a time as possible.

Safety features

System lock/safety lock  

Your hob is equipped with a system lock and a safety lock to prevent the hob and the cooking zones being switched on or any settings being altered by mistake.

The system lock is activated when the hob is switched off. If the system lock is activated, the hob cannot be switched on and the timer cannot be used. A set minute minder time continues to count down. The hob is programmed so that the system lock must be activated manually. The system lock can be programmed to be activated

automatically 5 minutes after the hob has been switched off (see

“Programming”).

The safety lock is activated when the hob is switched on. When the lock is activated, the hob can be operated only under certain conditions:

– The cooking zones and the hob can only be switched off.

– A set minute minder time can be modified.

If an unavailable sensor control is touched whilst the system lock or safety lock is activated    will appear in the timer display for few seconds and a tone will sound.

Safety features

Safety switch-off  

Safety switch-off if the sensors are covered

Your hob will switch off automatically if one or several of the sensors remain covered for longer than 10 seconds, for example, by finger contact, food boiling over or by an object such as an oven glove or tea towel.    will appear in the timer display for a few seconds. If the    sensor is affected,    will light up until the object or soiling has been removed.

  will go out once you have removed the object or cleaned the hob and the hob will be ready to use again.

Excessive operating time  

The safety switch-off mechanism is triggered automatically if a cooking zone is heated for an unusually long

period of time. This time depends on the power level selected. If it has been exceeded, the cooking zone switches off and the residual heat indicator appears. If you switch the cooking zone on and off again, it is ready for operation again.
