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 should 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.  
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.  
15  
 
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.  
16  
 
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  
How the hob is operated  
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, 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 display is flashing and you can set a power  
level or time.  
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.  
18

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.

continued cooking setting will light up, and go out at the end  
of it.  
In the extended range of power settings (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.  
Deactivating  
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 power level will flash.

Operation  
Switching the outer circle of a double circle / extended zone on  
and off  
When cooking with larger pans, the outer circle of a double  
circle/extended zone (see "Guide to the appliance") can be  
switched on to provide an extended cooking area.  
When the outer circle of a double circle/extended zone has  
been switched on, the indicator lamp will light up while the  
power level is flashing in the cooking zone display. The  
indicator lamp will go out when the power level lights up  
constantly in the display.  
The extended cooking area will switch off when the cooking  
zone is switched off.

a double circle/extended zone will flash.  
^ Touch the n sensor repeatedly until the indicator lamp  
goes out.  
23  
 
Operation  
Switching off and residual heat indicators  
Switching off a cooking zone  
^ Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want  
twice.  
A 0 will flash in the cooking zone display for a few seconds. If  
the cooking zone is still hot, the residual heat indicator will  
then appear in the display.

^ Touch the s sensor.  
This switches off all cooking zones. The residual heat  
indicator will appear in the display of any cooking zone which  
is still hot.  
Residual heat indicators  
The lines of the residual heat indicator go out one after  
another as the cooking zone cools down. The last horizontal  
line only goes out when the cooking zone is safe to touch.  
Do not touch or place any heat-sensitive objects on the

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.  
25  
 
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.  
26  
 
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 91/2 hours (9.^). If  
a time of more than 99 minutes (99) is set, the time is set in  
half-hour steps. The half hour is indicated by a dot after the  
number.  
Use the - sensor to reduce the time from 9.^ to 00, and the +  
sensor to increase the time from 00 to 9.^. The display stops  
at 2h and at 99. To continue entering the setting, briefly  
remove your finger from the sensor, and then touch it again.  
When the set time has elapsed, 00 will appear in the timer  
display for a few seconds. An audible tone will sound at the  
same time for a few seconds. To turn the audible tone off  
before this, touch the m sensor.  
Minute minder  
To set the minute minder time  
^ Touch the m sensor.  
00 and the minute minder indicator lamp will flash in the timer  
display.  
^ Touch the - or + sensor until the time you require appears  
in the display, e.g. 15 minutes.  
The time set will then count down in minutes. The time  
remaining will be shown in the timer display.  
To change the minute minder time  
^ Touch the m sensor.  
^ Touch the - or + sensor to set the time you want.  
To delete the minute minder time  
^ Touch the m sensor.  
^ Touch the - and + sensors at the same time.  
27  
 
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 require.  
^ Touch the m sensor.  
00 and the minute minder indicator lamp will flash in the timer  
display.  
^ Touch the m sensor again.  
The minute minder indicator lamp in the timer display will go  
out and one of the cooking zone indicator lamps will flash.  
^ If several cooking zones are switched on, touch the m  
sensor repeatedly until the indicator lamp for the cooking  
zone you wish to use this function for, e.g. back right,  
flashes.  
The indicator lamps for the cooking zones which are switched  
on light up clockwise, starting with the front left.  
^ Touch the - or + sensor until the time you require appears  
in the display, e.g. 15 minutes.  
The time set will then count down in minutes. The time  
remaining will be shown in the timer display.  
If you want to set another cooking zone to switch off  
automatically, follow the same steps as described above.  
28  
 
Timer  
If more than one switch-off time is programmed, the shortest  
time remaining will show in the display, and the indicator  
lamp for that particular cooking zone 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 require  
flashes.  
To change the automatic switch-off time  
^ Touch the m sensor repeatedly until the indicator lamp you  
require flashes.  
^ Touch the - or + sensor to set the time you want.  
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 minute minder  
indicator lamp flashes.  
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 require flashes.  
Shortly after the last entry, the timer display will switch to  
showing the shortest time remaining.  
If you want to see the time remaining for other cooking zones,  
touch the m repeatedly until the relevant indicator lamp  
flashes.  
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  
Safety lock / System lock  
Keep children away from the hob for their own safety. Your  
appliance is equipped with a safety lock and a system lock to  
prevent the hob and the cooking zones being switched on or  
any settings being altered.  
The safety lock is activated when the hob is switched on. If  
the safety lock is activated:  
– The cooking zone power levels and the timer settings  
cannot be changed.  
– The cooking zones, the hob and the timer can be switched  
off, but once switched off cannot be switched on again.  
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.  
The hob is programmed in such a way that activating the  
system lock has to be done manually. The setting can be  
changed so that the system lock is activated automatically  
five minutes after the hob has been switched off (see  
"Programming").  
When the safety lock or the system lock is activated and a  
sensor which is not permitted is touched,  
L will appear in the display for the front left cooking zone  
and C will appear in the display for the front right cooking  
zone for approx. 3 seconds.  
– the tone (which sounds when a sensor is touched) sounds  
for longer than normal (hobs with a double circle/extended  
zone)  
– the indicator lamp lights up (hobs with single circle zones  
only)  
If there is an interruption to the power supply, the safety  
lock and the system lock will be deactivated.

Safety switch-off if the sensors are covered  
Your hob will switch off automatically if one or several of the  
sensors remain covered for more than about 13 seconds, for  
example by finger contact, food boiling over, or by an object  
such as an oven glove or a tea towel.  
An F will flash in each of the cooking zone displays. At the  
same time a tone will sound every 30 seconds (for a  
maximum of 10 minutes).  
^ Clean the control panel or remove the obstruction.  
This will turn off the tone and the F will go out. You can now  
use the hob again.  
32  
 
Safety features  
Overheating protection  
Cooking zones  
Each zone is equipped with overheating protection (internal  
temperature limiter). This switches off the heating elements in  
the cooking zone before the ceramic surface overheats.  
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.  
Once the ceramic surface has cooled down to a safe level,  
the heating element will automatically switch back on 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.  
Control panel  
The control panel electronic unit is equipped with overheating  
protection. This switches off the hob automatically before the  
electronic unit overheats.  
The fault code FE37 will appear.  
Once the electronic unit has cooled down sufficiently, the  
fault code will go out and you can use the hob again.  
Overheating can occur if several cooking zones are heated at  
a high power level for a long period of time.  
33  
 
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.  
34  
 
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.

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.

Safety instructions for installation  
Safety distance when installing the appliance near a wall with additional  
niche cladding  
A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the worktop cut-out and  
any niche cladding to protect it from heat damage.  
If the niche cladding is made from a combustible material (e. g. wood) a  
minimum safety distance e of 50 mm must be maintained between the cut-out  
and the cladding.  
If the niche cladding is made from a non-combustible material (e. g. metal,  
natural stone, ceramic tiles) a minimum safety distance e of 50 mm less the  
thickness of the cladding must be maintained between the cut-out and the  
cladding.  
Example: 15 mm niche cladding  
50 mm - 15 mm = minimum safety distance of 35 mm

Safety instructions for installation  
Hob with frame or bevelled  
edges  
Tiled worktop  
Seal between the hob and the  
worktop  
Grout lines a and the hatched area  
underneath the hob frame must be  
smooth and even. If they are not the  
hob will not sit flush with the worktop  
and the sealing strip underneath the  
hob will not provide a good seal  
between the hob and the worktop.  
The sealing strip under the edge of the  
top part of the appliance provides a  
sufficient seal for the worktop.  
The hob must not be sealed with  
sealant (e.g. silicone).  
This could result in damage to the  
hob or the worktop if the hob ever  
needs to be removed for servicing.

Installation  
Worktops made of wood  
The exact positions of the spring  
clamps, and the safety brackets for  
hobs with bevelled edges, are shown  
in the building-in dimensions for the  
particular hob.  
^ Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable  
heat-resistant sealant to avoid  
swelling caused by moisture.  
Make sure that the sealant does not  
come into contact with the top of the  
worktop.  
Hobs with bevelled edges:  
The sealing strip will ensure that the  
hob sits securely in the cut-out. Any  
gap between the frame and worktop  
will reduce with time.  
^ Make the worktop cut-out according  
to the dimensions given in the  
building-in dimensions. Remember to  
maintain the minimum safety  
distances (see "Safety instructions  
for installation").  
^ Depending on model, place spring  
clamps a (supplied) on the upper  
edge of the cut-out or for hobs with  
bevelled edges, safety brackets b  
(supplied) flush with the upper edge  
of the cut-out.  
^ Secure the spring clamps a or  
safety brackets b using the  
3.5 x 25 mm wood screws supplied.  
53  
 
Installation  
Granite and marble worktops  
You will require double-sided tape  
and silicone (not supplied).  
^ Apply silcone to the side edges and  
the lower edges of the spring clamps  
and safety brackets.  
^ Fix the spring clamps (or safety  
brackets for hobs with bevelled  
edges) in place using double-sided  
tape c.  
The spring clamps must rest on the  
top edge of the cut-out and the safety  
brackets must be flush with the top  
edge of the cut-out.  
54  
 
Installation  
Installing the hob  
^ Feed the hob connection cable down  
through the cut-out.  
^ Position the hob on the spring  
clamps.  
^ Using both hands, press down  
evenly on the sides of the hob until it  
clicks into position. 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 (e.g. silicone).  
If the corners of the frame are not  
flush with the worktop surface, the  
corner radius (ß R4) can be carefully  
scribed to fit.  
^ Connect the hob to the mains.  
^ Check that the hob works.  
The hob can now only be removed  
with a special tool.
