8


Correct use

~

Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fat.

If oil or fat does catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with water. Disconnect the appliance from the mains and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.

~

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 appliance. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

~

Do not heat an empty pan.

~

Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob, as pressure will build up in the tin, 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 appliance is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.

~

When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food blender, near the appliance, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot come into contact with the hot appliance. The insulation on the cable could become damaged.

9


~

If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the door whilst the hob in use or whilst there is any residual heat present.

~

The appliance 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.

~

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 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.

~

Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are 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 aluminium residues whilst still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Wear oven gloves.

Allow the cooking zones to cool down and then clean them with a suitable ceramic hob cleaning agent.

~

Pans which boil dry can cause damage to the ceramic glass. Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.

10


~

Do not use pots or pans on the hob with bases with pronounced edges or ridges. These could scratch or scour the ceramic glass surface permanently. Only use pots and pans with smooth bases.

~

Lift pans into position on the hob. Sliding them into place can cause scuffs and scratches.

~

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 could cause damage in certain circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.

~

Do not place hot items or pans on the display as this could cause damage to the electronics underneath. Do not place hot pans on the area around the display.

~

Induction heating works extremely quickly and so the base of the pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time. Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.

~

Heat oil or fat for a maximum of one minute. Do not use the

Booster function to heat oil or fat.

~

For people fitted with a heart pacemaker:

Please note that the area immediately surrounding the hob is electromagnetically charged. It is unlikely to affect a pacemaker.

However, if in any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor.

~

To prevent damage to items which are susceptible to magnetic fields, e.g. credit cards, digital storage devices, pocket calculators, etc, do not leave them in the immediate vicinity of the hob.

11


~

Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the hob can become hot if the appliance is used intensively for a long time. Do not store any metal items or utensils in a drawer under the hob

~

This hob is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly underneath the hob, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation of the hob.

Do not store pointed or small items or paper in the drawer. They could get in through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the housing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.

~

Do not use two pans on a cooking zone, extended zone or

PowerFlex zone at the same time.

Cleaning and care

~

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.

The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

~

If the hob is built in over a pyrolitic oven or cooker, the hob should not be used whilst the pyrolitic process is being carried out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the hob (see relevant section).

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also 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.

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.

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, guarantee" 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 induction coils may also give off a slight smell for the first few hours of operation. This smell will be less noticeable with each subsequent use before dissipating completely.

The smell and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance and they are not hazardous to health.

Please note that the heating up time on induction hobs is very much shorter than on conventional hobs.

19

Induction

The induction principle

An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When a cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a magnetic field which impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats it up. The cooking zone itself is heated up indirectly by the heat given off by the pan.

An induction cooking zone only works when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on it (see "Pans"). The induction cooking zone automatically recognises the size of the pan

The ß symbol flashes alternately with the power setting selected in the display,

– if it is switched on without a pan in place, or if the pan is unsuitable (non-magnetic base),

– if the diameter of the base of the pan is too small,

– if the pan is taken off the cooking zone when it is switched on.

If a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone within

3 minutes, the ß will go out and you can continue as normal.

If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed on the cooking zone, the cooking zone will switch off automatically after 3 minutes.

Danger of burning.

Do not use the hob as a resting place for metal items (e.g.

cutlery). When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of the metal items heating up, with the danger of burning.

Switch the hob off after use.

20

Noises

Induction

When using an induction cooking zone, the following noises can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and how it has been constructed.

– On the higher power levels, it might buzz. This will decrease or cease altogether when the power level is reduced.

– If the pan base is made of layers of different materials (e.g.

in a sandwiched base), it might emit a cracking sound.

– Whistling might occur if linked zones (see "Booster") are being used at the same time, and the pans also have bases made of layers of different materials.

– You might hear a clicking sound from the electronic switches, especially on lower power levels.

– You might hear a whirring sound when the cooling fan switches on. It switches on to protect the electronics when the hob is being used intensively. The fan may continue to run after the appliance has been switched off.

21

Induction

Pans

Suitable pans include:

– stainless steel pans with a magnetic base

– enamelled steel pans

– cast iron pans

Unsuitable pans:

– stainless steel pans without a magnetic base

– aluminium and copper pans

– glass, ceramic or earthenware pots and pans

To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an induction hob, hold a magnet to the base of the pan. If the magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.

Please be aware that the properties of the pan base can affect the eveness with which food heats up in the pan.

To make optimum use of the cooking zones, choose pans with diameters larger than the innermost markings but smaller than the outermost markings. If the diameter of the pan is smaller than the innermost marking, the induction heating will not work. The zone will behave as if it had no pan on it.

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.

Danger of burning. Make sure that pans are placed centrally on the cooking zone. If a pan is placed only partially on a zone, there is a risk that the handle could get very hot.

Operation

Booster

The cooking zones are equipped with a one stage Booster, two stage WaterBoost or TwinBooster (see "Guide to the appliance").

When activated, the power is boosted for a maximum of

15 minutes so that large quantities can be heated up quickly, e.g. when boiling water for cooking pasta.

The Booster function can only be used on two cooking zones at the same time.

The cooking zone will automatically revert to power setting 9 at the end of the booster time.

Cooking zones are networked in pairs to supply the power for the Booster function.

When the Booster function is selected, a proportion of energy is taken away from the linked cooking zone. The following happens within the pairs:

- Auto heat-up is deactivated

- The power level is reduced

- The linked cooking zone is switched off.

28

Operation

^ Select a different power level.

The Booster symbol will go out

29

Operation

Keeping warm function

All cooking zones have a keeping warm function

2.

This function is for keeping food that has just been cooked warm, i.e. food that is still hot. It is not for reheating food that has gone cold.

If the keeping warm function has been activated, the cooking zone will switch off automatically after a maximum of 2 hours.

To set the keeping warm function

^ Turn the rotary control clockwise to 2.

^ will light up in the display.

Tips

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

– You do not have to stir food while it is being kept warm.

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

30

Operation

Switching off

^ Turn the rotary control anti-clockwise to "0".

The power level will go out in the display.

Residual heat indicators

When a cooking zone which is switched off is still hot, the residual heat indicator will appear in the display. 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.

Danger of burning and fire hazard.

Do not touch the cooking zones whilst the residual heat indicators are lit up.

31

Tips on saving energy

– Use a lid to cover pots or pans to minimise heat loss.

uncovered covered

– Select a smaller pan when cooking small quantities. A smaller pan uses less energy than a larger pan with very little in it.

– 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.

– Use a pressure cooker to reduce cooking times.

32

Safety features

Safety features

Overheating protection

All the induction coils and the cooling elements for the electronics are fitted with an overheating protection mechanism. Before the induction coils or cooling elements get too hot, the overheating protection mechanism cuts in in one of the following ways:

– If the booster function is being used, this will be switched off.

– The power level will be reduced.

– One or more cooking zones will switch off automatically.

Turn the controls for all affected cooking zones to "0". The affected cooking zones can only be used again as usual once the cooling element has cooled down to a safe level.

The overheating mechanism can be triggered by:

– Heating up an empty pan.

– Fat or oil being heated up on a high power level.

– Insufficient ventilation to the underside of the appliance.

– A hot cooking zone being switched on after a power cut.

If the overheating protection mechanism triggers again, contact the Service department.

35


Danger of injury.

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 the appliance after cleaning.

To avoid damaging the surfaces 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, 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.

36


Ceramic surface

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 cleaning agent.

Wipe off all coarse soiling 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 appliance is still hot, as this could result in marking. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Finally wipe the hob with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft, dry cloth. Residues can burn onto the appliance the next time it is used, and cause damage to the ceramic surface. Ensure that all cleaning agent residues are removed.

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.

Danger of burning.

Protect your hands with oven gloves before using a shielded scraper blade to remove sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the hot hob.

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 immediately whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scraper blade.

Allow the appliance to cool down and then clean as described above.

37


Rotary controls

Clean the rotary controls using an E-Cloth (see "Optional accessories") or with a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge.

38

,

Danger of injury. Installation work and repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations. Do not open the casing of the appliance. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and Miele cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Problem Possible cause and remedy

The hob or cooking zones cannot be switched on.

The mains fuse has tripped.

^ Reset the trip switch in the mains fuse box (minimum fuse rating - see data plate).

There may be a technical fault.

^ Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply for approx. 1 minute. To do this:

– switch off at the isolator, or

– disconnect the mains fuse.

^ Reset the trip switch in the mains fuse box and switch the appliance back on. If it still will not heat up, contact a qualified electrician or the Miele Service Department.

A smell and vapours are given off when a new appliance is being used.

The metal components have a protective coating. When the appliance is used for the first time, this causes a smell and possibly also vapour. The material from which the induction coils are made also gives off a smell in the first few hours of operation.

This smell will be less noticeable with each subsequent use before dissipating completely. The smell and vapour are not harmful to health.

39


Problem

The ß symbol flashes alternately with A or with the power setting selected in one of the cooking zones.

Possible cause and remedy

There is no pan on the cooking zone, or the pan is unsuitable.

^ Use a suitable pan (see "Pans").

Installing the hob

Preparing the worktop

^ Make the worktop cut-out according to the dimensions given in the building-in diagram. Remember to maintain the minimum safety

distances (see "Safety instructions for installation").

^ 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.


^ Feed the mains connection cable down through the cut-out.

^ Place the hob centrally in the cut-out.

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 seal does not meet the worktop correctly on the corners the corner radius (

ß R4) can be carefully scribed to suit.

^ Connect the hob to the mains.

^ Check that the hob works.

No spring clamps are needed to install the hob. The seal underneath the hob will hold it securely on the worktop.

Any gap between the frame and worktop will reduce with time.

Connecting the mains cable to the appliance

The mains cable must only be connected to the appliance by a qualified and competent electrician in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations

(BS 7671 in the UK).
