Induction  
How it works  
If a suitable pan is placed on the burner  
within 3 minutes, the ß will go out and  
you can continue cooking as normal.  
An induction coil is located under each  
burner. When a burner is switched on,  
this coil creates a magnetic field which  
impacts directly on the base of the pan  
and heats it up. The burner itself is  
heated indirectly by the heat given off  
by the pan.  
If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed  
on the burner, the burner and the  
cooktop will switch off automatically  
after 3 minutes.  
Be careful not to place cutlery or  
other metal objects on the cooktop.  
When the appliance is switched on,  
or when there is residual heat  
present, there is the risk of metal  
objects heating up quickly.  
Induction burners only work when a  
magnetic based pan is placed on it  
(see "Cookware").  
Induction automatically recognizes the  
size of the pan, i.e. heat is only  
generated in the area covered by the  
base of the pan.  
Beware of burns.  
Depending on the material, other  
objects left on the cooktop could  
also melt or catch fire. Switch the  
burners off after use.  
The burner 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 pan is too small.  
– if the pan is taken off the burner  
when it is switched on.  
If this happens, ß will flash in the  
relevant burner display alternating with  
0 or the last selected power level  
selected.  
14  
 
Induction  
Noises  
The appliance has a cooling fan to help  
extend the life of the electronics. When  
the cooktop is being used at high levels  
for a long period of time, 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 burner, the  
following noises can occur in the pan,  
depending on what it is made of and  
how it is constructed.  
– Higher power settings may cause a  
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. a  
sandwiched base), a cracking sound  
may be heard.  
– Whistling might occur if linked  
burners (see "Booster function") are  
being used on the highest setting at  
the same time, and the pans have  
bases made of layers of different  
materials.  
– You may hear a clicking sound from  
the electronic switches, especially on  
lower settings.  
15  
 
Induction  
Cookware  
Pan size  
Suitable pans include:  
To make optimum use of the burners,  
choose cookware that fits between the  
inner and outer marking of the burner. If  
the base diameter of the pan is smaller  
than the inner marking, the induction  
heating will not work. The burner will  
behave as if it had no pan on it.  
– stainless steel pans with a magnetic  
base  
– enameled steel pans  
– cast iron pans  
Unsuitable pans:  
– stainless steel pans without a  
magnetic base  
– aluminum and copper pans  
– glass, ceramic or earthenware pots  
and pans  
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable  
for use on an induction cooktop, hold a  
magnet to the base of the pan. If the  
magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.  
Unless the pan manufacturer states  
that you can do so, do not use pans  
with very thin bases on this cooktop.  
,Never heat up empty pans.  
This could damage the appliance  
and cookware.  
16  
 
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.  
Metal components of the cooktop 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.  
17  
 
Resetting the touch controls  
Automatic reset  
Manual reset  
To ensure the cooktop functions  
properly the touch controls will  
automatically reset:  
^ Make sure no direct light (sun or  
artificial) beams on the cooktop. The  
surrounding area of the cooktop  
should not be completely shaded or  
brightly lit.  
– when the cooktop is connected to  
the power supply,  
^ Make sure the cooktop and the touch  
controls are not covered. Remove all  
pots and pans, and clean the  
cooktop if necessary.  
– if there is an interruption to the power  
supply, and  
– during use in response to changing  
light conditions.  
^ Trip the circuit breaker to the cooktop  
or turn off the power main for 1  
minute.  
During the automatic reset of the touch  
controls the Child Safety Lock indicator  
lights and the cooktop cannot be  
turned on.  
The touch controls will automatically  
reset when the power is restored.  
If the automatic reset could not be  
completed:  
If the problem persists, contact Miele  
Technical Service.  
– an A will light in the front left and right  
burner displays,  
– a F will light in the rear left burner  
display, and  
– the right rear burner display and the  
timer display will show numbers.  
In this case the touch controls must be  
manually reset.

Use  
Booster function  
The extra boost of energy is only  
available by taking a proportion of  
Each burner is equipped with a booster  
function to temporarily increase the  
power level. When the booster function  
is on, the burners increase to power  
level 12 for 10 minutes. This boost is  
intended for quickly bringing large  
quantities of water to the boil,  
energy away from another burner. For  
this reason, the burners are networked  
in pairs as shown.  
e.g. cooking pasta.  
A maximum of 3 booster functions can  
be used at a time.  
When the booster is activated:  
If the booster is activated, when  
– if Auto-heat is activated or either  
burner of the same network, it will  
switch off.  
– no power setting is selected, the  
burner will revert to power level 12 at  
the end of the booster time or when  
the booster is switched off.  
– the power level on the other linked  
burner may decrease.  
The original and reduced power  
levels blink back and forth until the  
Booster turns off. The reduced power  
level is also represented by the  
number of segments in the lighting  
circle.  
– a power setting is selected, the  
burner will revert to this pre-selected  
power setting at the end of the  
booster time or when the booster is  
switched off.  
Taking a pan off the burner while the  
booster is in operation interrupts the  
booster function. It will resume if a pan  
is placed back on the burner within 3  
minutes.  
The booster can be switched off by  
touching the - sensor.

Safety features  
Overheating protection  
Overheating can be caused by:  
– heating an empty pan.  
The induction coils and the cooling  
element of the electronic are fitted with  
a overheating protection feature. This  
prevents the induction coils and cooling  
element from overheating.  
– fats or oils being heated on the  
highest power setting.  
– there being insufficient ventilation to  
the under side of the appliance.  
This mechanism works on the affected  
burner or on the entire cooktop in the  
following ways:  
If the overheating protection  
mechanism triggers again, contact  
Miele Technical Service.  
– If the booster function is being used,  
it will be switched off.  
– If the power level is set between 10  
and 12, it will be reduced. The set  
and reduced power level will flash  
alternately in the display. The  
reduced power level is also shown  
by the number of segments in the  
lighting circle.  
– If an induction coil is affected, the  
burner will automatically turn off. A 0  
and the residual heat indicator will  
show in the display.  
The burner can be used again as soon  
as it has cooled to a safe temperature.  
– If the cooling system is affected, all  
burners will automatically turn off,  
and the display will show 0  
alternating with the set power level.  
Once the system has sufficiently  
cooled, the burners will automatically  
operate at the originally set power level.

the surrounding frame and the  
countertop.  
^ Apply a ceramic cleaner using a soft  
cloth or paper towel. To remove any  
limescale deposits or metallic residue  
apply a ceramic cleaner using a soft  
cloth and a shielded scraper blade if  
necessary.  
Never use abrasive or caustic (oven)  
cleaners, dishwasher detergent,  
scouring pads, steel wool or hard  
brushes. They will damage the  
surface.  
^ After cleaning wipe the ceramic  
surface with a damp cloth and dry.  
The ceramic surface can be cleaned  
using a cleaner for ceramic  
surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s  
instructions.  
A cleaner with a special additive to  
prevent water marks and smears on the  
ceramic surface may be used.  
Any melted solids like sugar, plastic or  
aluminum foil should be removed as  
soon as possible, while the burner is  
still warm. If they are allowed to harden  
the cooktop may become pitted.  
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.
