IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation and connection
When using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions including the following:
Read all instructions before using for the first time.
Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by the lack, or inadequacy of, an effective grounding system.
Do not connect the appliance to the main electrical supply using an extension cord. Extension cords do not meet the safety requirements of this appliance.
Before servicing, disconnect the power supply by either removing the fuse, unplugging the unit or manually "tripping" the circuit breaker.
Correct usage
Do not operate the appliance until properly installed in the countertop.
This appliance is intended for residential use only.
Use the appliance only for its intended purpose. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by improper use of the cooktop.
Never use the appliance to warm or heat the room.
This appliance must not be set up or operated outdoors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Protection from damage
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface of the cooktop.
Although the ceramic glass is shock and scratch resistant, it is not shock or scratch proof.
Do not use pots or pans with bases with pronounced edges or ridges on the ceramic cooktop. These could permanently scratch or scour the cooktop. Grains of salt and sand can also scratch the surface.
Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar, pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get on the cooking zones when they are hot. If these residues are allowed to cool on the ceramic surface, pitting or cracking could occur. Should sugar, plastic or aluminium fall on to the cooktop, first turn the appliance off, then immediately scrape off the remains with a shielded blade scraper while the surface is still hot. Take care not to burn yourself on the hot surface. Clean the cooktop once it has cooled.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.
In areas subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, keep the appliance and its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by pests will not be covered under the warranty.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Protection from burns
Do not allow children to operate or play with or near the cooktop.
Use only dry, heat-resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces can result in steam burns. Do not let the potholder touch the hot heating element. Do not use towels or other bulky items near the appliance.
Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Built-up pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.
Do not store items on the appliance when not in use.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on the appliance.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended while in use.
Overheated food can ignite.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother any fire or flame, or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Do not flambé under an exhaust hood. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction or the grease filters may ignite.
If there is a drawer directly underneath the appliance without any wooden base in between, ensure that no aerosols, combustible liquids or other easily flammable materials are kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be placed in the drawer, these must be made of heat-resistant material.

General notes
A copy of the data plate for your appliance is included with this manual.
It should be placed in the space provided at the back of this book.
The address of the nearest Miele
Technical Service Department can be found on the back cover. If it becomes necessary to contact the Technical
Service Department, please have the model and serial number of the appliance available. Both are listed on the data plate.

11
Before using for the first time
Cleaning and heating for the first time
Before using the appliance for the first time, clean it with a damp cloth and then dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use liquid dish soap. This can leave a permanent blue sheen on the ceramic surface.
Metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight odor the first time your new appliance is heated.
The odor and any vapors will dissipate after a short time and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance defect.
12
Turning on and off, residual heat indicator
Turning on the variable burner:
Using the cooktop
When the burner is up to temperature, the residual heat indicator light will illuminate. The indicator light will go out once the cooktop temperature has reached a safe level.
Do not touch or lay any heat-sensitive objects on the cooktop while the residual heat indicator light is still on. Danger of burning and fire!
A burner with the symbol n is activated by turning the respective control knob clockwise, a , to the desired setting. It is turned off by turning the knob counterclockwise, b, to "0".
The knob cannot be turned past n to "0".
Turning on the single burner:
(only with KM 400)
A burner without the symbol n is turned on or off by turning it either clockwise or counterclockwise .

Using the cooktop
Turning on the outer zone
When using large pots or pans, the outer/extended zone can be turned on.
Proceed as follows:
^ Turn the knob clockwise past "12" to the n position.
^ Turn the knob counterclockwise to the desired setting.
To turn off the outer/extended zone, turn the knob counter clockwise to "0".
15
Using the cooktop
Overheating protection
Each cooking zone is equipped with overheating protection (internal temperature limiter). This turns off the heating elements in the cooking zone if the ceramic surface becomes too hot.
Once the ceramic has cooled down to a safe level, the heat will automatically turn back on.
The heating elements cycle on and off to maintain a constant temperature.
16
Using the cooktop
Tips on saving energy
– Use pots and pans with flat or slightly concave bases for the most efficient cooking. The pan base should rest evenly on the ceramic surface when hot. Uneven bases can lengthen cooking times and cook food unevenly.
– Cooking with a lid will also help prevent heat loss.
uncovered covered cold hot
– To reduce heat loss, make sure the pot size and burner size correspond.
Cooking can be completed using the residual heat of the burners by turning the cooktop off 10 - 15 minutes before the food is finished.

Cleaning and care
18
Under no circumstances should a steam cleaner be used to clean this appliance. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility.
Do not use any sharp pointed objects which could damage the seal between the ceramic surface, the surrounding frame and the frame and the countertop.
Never use scouring agents, pads, abrasive cleaning agents or strong cleaners, e.g. oven sprays, stain or rust removers, as these could damage the surface of the appliance.
Do not use liquid dish soap on the ceramic surface, as it can leave a blue sheen on the surface which may be difficult to remove.
The ceramic surface can be cleaned using a cleaner for ceramic surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.
Make sure that no cleaner residue remains on the ceramic surface by carefully wiping the cooktop with a damp cloth. Cleaner residues could damage the cooktop when heated.
After cleaning, thoroughly dry the ceramic surface with a soft cloth to prevent a build up of limescale deposits.
The ceramic surface should be cleaned regularly, preferably after each use.
Allow the cooktop to cool down before cleaning. Wipe spills off using a damp cloth. Stubborn spills are best removed with a shielded scraper blade. Apply a cleaner for ceramic surfaces using a soft cloth or paper towel. This will remove any limescale deposits and metallic marks (aluminium deposits). A cleaner with a special additive to prevent water marks and smears on the ceramic surface can be used. Wipe the cooktop surface with a damp cloth and dry with a clean soft cloth.
Should any sugar, plastic or aluminium foil spill or fall onto the cooktop while it is in use, use a shielded scraper blade to scrape it off while the surface is still hot. Take care not to burn yourself. Allow the cooktop to cool down and then clean with a suitable ceramic cooktop cleaner.
