children well away and do not let them  
play with it or use the controls. They will  
not understand the potential dangers  
posed by it. They should be supervised  
whenever you are working in the  
kitchen.  
Old appliances must be  
disconnected from the power  
supply, the plug rendered useless and  
the cable cut off directly behind the  
appliance to ensure it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
Older children may use the  
appliance only when its operation  
has been clearly explained to them,  
and they are able to use it safely,  
recognising the dangers of misuse.  
Supervise its use by the elderly or  
infirm.  
Use the safety lock to prevent  
children operating the appliance or  
altering the settings.  
The appliance gets hot when in  
use and remains hot for quite a  
while after being switched off. To  
safeguard against burning, keep  
children well away from the appliance  
at all times.  
Do not store anything which might  
arouse a child's interest in storage  
areas above or next to the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Protecting the appliance from  
damage  
Do not use a steam cleaner to  
clean this appliance. The steam  
could reach electrical components and  
cause a short circuit. Pressurised  
steam could also cause permanent  
damage to the surface and to other  
components, for which the

object could cause damage in certain  
circumstances.  
manufacturer cannot accept liability.  
Do not use pots or pans on the  
ceramic hob with bases with  
pronounced edges or ridges. These  
could scratch or scour the hob surface  
permanently. Grains of salt and sand  
can also scratch.  
Unless the pan manufacturer  
states that you can do so, do not  
use pans with very thin bases on this  
hob and never heat up empty pans as  
they could get damaged. This could  
also damage the appliance.  
Do not allow either solid or liquid  
sugar, or pieces of plastic or

aluminium foil to get on ceramic  
cooking zones when they are hot. If this  
should occur, switch off the hob and  
carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic  
or aluminium remains from the hob  
while it is still hot using a shielded  
scraper blade. Take care not to burn  
yourself. If these residues are allowed  
to cool before the hob surface has  
been cleaned, the ceramic surface will  
be susceptible to pitting or even  
cracking.  
In countries where there are areas  
which may be subject to infestation  
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay  
particular attention to keeping the  
appliance and its surroundings in a  
clean condition at all times. Any  
damage which may be caused by  
cockroaches or other vermin will not be  
covered by the appliance guarantee.  
Clean the appliance once it has cooled  
down.  
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.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Protection from burning and  
scalding  
Do not cover the appliance, e.g.  
with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This  
could be a fire hazard if the appliance  
The surface of the appliance is hot  
when in use, and remains hot for  
quite a while after being switched off.

is switched on by mistake.  
Never leave the appliance  
unattended when cooking with oil  
or fat as these are fire hazards if  
overheated. Very hot oil can catch fire  
and could even set a cooker hood  
above on fire. Always heat fat slowly,  
watching as it heats.  
For added protection it is advisable  
to use heat-resistant pot holders or  
gloves when using the appliance. Do  
not let them get damp or wet, as this  
causes heat to transfer through the  
material more quickly with the risk of  
scalding or burning yourself.  
If, despite this, oil or fat does catch  
fire, do not attempt to put out the  
flames with water. Use a suitable fire  
blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or  
similar to smother the flames.  
Do not heat up unopened tins of  
food on the hob as pressure will  
build up in the tin and it can explode.  
This could result in injury and scalding  
or damage.  
Do not flambé under a cooker  
hood. The flames could set the  
cooker hood on fire.  
Do not use the hob as a resting  
place for anything else. The article  
could melt or catch fire if residual heat  
is still present or if the appliance is  
switched on by mistake.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Appliance faults  
Further safety notes  
In the event of damage or a defect,  
switch off the appliance immedi-  
ately. Disconnect completely from the  
electricity supply. If the appliance has  
not yet been fully installed, the  
electricity cable must be disconnected  
from the supply point. If connected via  
a plug and socket, switch off at the  
socket and withdraw the plug. Contact  
the Service Department.  
When using an electric socket near  
the appliance, care should be  
taken that the cable of the electrical  
appliance does not come into contact  
with the hot appliance. The insulation  
on the cable could become damaged,  
giving rise to an electric shock hazard.  
Always ensure that food is  
sufficiently cooked or reheated.  
Many factors will affect the overall  
cooking time, including the size and  
amount of food and its temperature.  
Some foods may contain  
Do not reconnect the appliance to the  
mains electricity supply until after it has  
been repaired.  
If there is any damage to the

competent person. Repairs and other  
work by unqualified persons could be  
very dangerous and could damage the  
appliance. The manufacturer cannot be  
held liable for unauthorised work. Never  
open the housing of the appliance.  
If a domestic animal gets onto the  
hob, a sensor switch could be  
touched and a cooking zone switched  
on. Keep pets away from the hob at all  
times.  
While the appliance is under  
guarantee, repairs should only be  
undertaken by a service technician  
authorised by the manufacturer.  
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.  
Spray canisters, aerosols and other  
inflammable substances must not  
be stored in a drawer under the hob.  
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.  
The manufacturer cannot be held  
liable for damage caused by  
non-compliance with these Warning  
and Safety instructions.

Caring for the environment  
Disposal of 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 your  
old appliance 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.  
Packaging (e.g. cling film, polystyrene)  
and plastic wrappings must be kept out  
of the reach of babies and young  
children. Danger of suffocation.  
Dispose of or recycle all packaging  
materials as soon as possible.  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection / recycling  
centre and 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. The  
plug must be rendered useless and the  
cable cut off directly behind it to  
prevent misuse.  
15  
 
Before using for the first time  
General notes  
Cleaning and heating up for  
the first time  
A data plate for your appliance is  
supplied with this documentation. It  
should be stuck into the space  
provided at the end of the instruction  
book.  
Before using for the first time, clean the  
appliance with a damp cloth only and  
then wipe dry.  
Do not use washing up liquid on the  
ceramic surface as it can leave a  
blue sheen which may be difficult to  
remove.  
Keep these instructions in a safe place  
for reference and pass them on to any  
future user.  
Metal components have a protective  
coating which may give off a slight  
smell when the hob is heated up for the  
first time. The smell and any vapours  
will dissipate after a short time and do  
not indicate a faulty connection or  
appliance.  
16  
 
Use  
Sensor switches  
Switching on  
This hob is equipped with electronic  
sensor switches which react to finger  
contact.  
The hob must be switched on before  
any of the zones can be used.  
To operate a cooking zone touch the  
relevant sensor switch. Each time you  
touch a sensor switch an audible tone  
sounds.  
To switch the hob on:  
^ Touch the ON/OFF sensor s.  
A 0 appears in the display for each of  
the zones. If no further entry is made,  
the hob will switch itself off after a few  
seconds for safety reasons.  
Make sure that you only touch the  
sensor you require (except when  
switching off a cooking zone), and  
that you touch the centre of the  
sensor.  
To switch a cooking zone on:  
^ Select a power setting between 1 and  
9 by touching the - or + sensor.  
Take care to keep the control area  
clean. Do not place anything on the  
control area. 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.)  
To select cooking with Auto heat-up,  
press the - sensor first, see "Auto  
heat-up". To select cooking without  
Auto heat-up press the + sensor first.  
If you wish to switch on another  
cooking zone, and the 0 for that zone  
has already gone out, simply press the  
- or + briefly. The 0 will appear and you  
can select a power setting (with or  
without Auto heat-up).  
Never place hot pans on the  
sensors. The electronic unit  
underneath could get damaged.

then switches to the continued cooking  
setting which you have previously  
selected. The "heat up" time depends  
on which continued cooking setting has  
been chosen (see chart).

We recommend that you use a high  
continued cooking setting for frying  
food. This means that for frying only a  
relatively short heat-up time is needed  
to heat up the pan initially.  
During the heat-up time a dot will light  
up to the right of the continued cooking  
setting, and go out at the end of it.

Suitable pans  
Energy saving tips  
– For optimum energy consumption  
during cooking, only pans with flat or  
very slightly concave bases should  
be used. When the pan is hot, the  
base should rest evenly on the hob.  
Uneven bases will lengthen cooking  
time. Check for suitability when  
purchasing new pans.  
– Use a pan lid whenever possible to  
minimise heat loss.

– 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.

– Check that the diameter of the pan  
base is wide enough for the cooking  
zone so that heat is not lost  
unnecessarily. Please note that the  
maximum diameter quoted by  
manufacturers often refers to the  
diameter of the top rim of the pan.  
The diameter of the base (generally  
smaller) is more important.

Safety features  
Overheating protection  
Overheating can be caused by:  
Each cooking zone is equipped with  
overheating protection. An internal  
temperature limiter switches off the  
heating elements in the cooking zone  
before the ceramic surface overheats.  
– switching on a cooking zone without  
a pan on it.  
– heating up an empty pan.  
– the base of a pan not sitting evenly  
on the cooking zone.  
Once the ceramic has cooled down to  
a safe level the heating will  
automatically switch back on again.  
– the pan not conducting the heat  
properly.  
You can tell that the overheating  
protection has activated because the  
heating switches on and off even when  
the highest setting is selected.

Cleaning and care  
Clean the appliance regularly,  
preferably after each use. Allow the hob  
to cool down before cleaning.  
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean  
this appliance. The steam could  
reach electrical components and  
cause a short circuit. Pressurised  
steam could also cause permanent  
damage to the surface and to

manufacturer cannot accept liability.  
Do not use any sharp objects which  
could damage the seal between the  
ceramic surface and the  
surrounding frame and between the  
frame and the worktop.  
After cleaning, dry thoroughly with a  
soft cloth to prevent a build-up of  
limescale deposits  
To remove any limescale deposits,  
caused for example by water boiling  
oven as well as metallic marks e.g. from  
saucepan bases, the ceramic surface  
can be cleaned using a proprietary  
cleaning agent for ceramic surfaces.  
Follow the manufacturer's instructions  
on the packaging and apply using a  
soft cloth or kitchen paper towel.  
Never use cleaners containing sand,  
soda, alkalis, acids or chlorides,  
oven sprays, dishwasher  
detergents, nor steel wool, abrasive  
cleaning agents, hard brushes,  
scouring pads and cloths. You  
should also avoid using sponges  
etc. which have previously been  
used with abrasive cleaning agents,  
as this will damage the surface.  
Finally, wipe the hob surface with a  
damp cloth and then dry it with a clean  
soft cloth. Ensure that every trace of  
cleaner has been removed from the  
surface. Any remaining trace could  
have a corrosive effect on the hob  
when it is next heated up.  
Do not use washing up liquid to  
clean the ceramic surface as it can  
leave a blue sheen which may be  
difficult to remove.  
E-Cloth  
Note that some cleaning agents contain  
a protective additive designed to  
prevent water marks and smears  
adhering to the surface.  
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from  
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department  
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces  
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic  
and chrome without the use of  
chemicals.  
27  
 
Cleaning and care  
Should any sugar, plastic or  
aluminium foil spill or fall on to a hot  
cooking zone while it is in use, first  
switch off the appliance. Then, immedi-  
ately, while they are still hot, scrape off  
all remains of these materials using a  
shielded scraper blade. Take care not  
to burn yourself.  
Allow the hob to cool down and then  
clean with a suitable proprietary  
ceramic cleaner.  
Appliances with aluminium frames  
(see data plate) are prone to  
scratching, alkali and acid damage.  
Take great care when cleaning the  
aluminium frame. Do not use cleaning  
agents for stainless steel or descaling  
agents on aluminium surfaces. Soiling  
should be wiped off as soon as  
possible after using the appliance. If  
the soiling is left for a long time it can  
have a damaging effect on the  
aluminium surfaces. Intensive cleaning  
with proprietory ceramic cleaners can  
cause the frame to take on a shiny  
appearance.
