Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

~

For people fitted with a heart pacemaker:

Please note that the area immediately surrounding the appliance is electromagnetically charged, and that this could affect a pacemaker.

If in any doubt consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor.

~

The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat indicators go out.

~

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.

~

This appliance must not be set up or operated in the open air.

~

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.

~

Do not cover the appliance, e.g.

with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could be a fire hazard if the appliance is switched on by mistake.

~

Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is in use.

Pans that have boiled dry can cause damage to the ceramic surface for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable.

Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause a fire.

~

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 flambé under a rangehood.

The flames could set the rangehood on fire.

~

Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode. This could result in injury and scalding or damage.

~

To prevent damage to items which are susceptible to magnetic fields, e.g.

credit cards, diskettes, pocket calculators etc, do not leave them in the immediate vicinity of the cooktop.

~

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high temperatures, and could catch fire.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

~

Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances should not be stored in a drawer under the cooktop.

Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

~

Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a light object could cause damage in certain circumstances.

~

Keep the cooktop clean. Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can cause scratches.

~

Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot. If this should occur, switch off the appliance, and carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the cooktop whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Take care not to burn yourself.

If residues are allowed to cool before being removed, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even cracking.

Once the residues have been removed, allow the appliance to cool down, and then clean with a suitable proprietary ceramic cooktop cleaner.

~

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.

~

This cooktop is fitted with a cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly underneath the cooktop, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the cooktop. Do not store 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 the appliance as a resting place for anything else. Take particular care never to place cutlery or other metal objects on the appliance.

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

Depending on the material, other objects left on the cooktop could also melt or catch fire.

Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult to dislodge.

Switch the cooking zones off after use.

~

Do not use pots and pans on the ceramic cooktop with bases with pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans. These could scratch or scour the cooktop surface permanently.

12

~

Never heat an empty pan unless the manufacturer of the pan expressly states that you can do so. Because induction heating works extremely quickly the base of the pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time.

~

Metal utensils stored in a drawer under the cooktop could become hot if the induction cooktop were used intensively for a long time.

~

Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and quantity of the food and its temperature.

Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at a sufficiently high temperature for long enough. Therefore, when cooking or reheating food such as poultry, it is particularly important that the food is completely cooked through. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

Warning and Safety instructions

~

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

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

13

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally 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.

Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances / machines 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 or machine. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old machine or appliance with your household waste.

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 the appliance or the machine to prevent misuse.

14

Before using for the first time

Please adhere the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the "After sales service" 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

When the induction cokktop is first connected, and after a power cut, all of the indicators in the display light up for approx. 1 second for testing purposes.

The appliance can be used as soon as the indicators go out.

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.

Do not use washing up liquid to clean the ceramic surface as it can leave a blue sheen which may be difficult to remove.

15

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").

Induction automatically recognises the size of the pan, i.e. heat is only generated in the area covered by the base of the pan.

The cooking zone 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 base of the pan is too small.

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

If this happens, ß will flash in the display.

If a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone within 3 minutes, 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.

0 and C will flash alternately in the display.

To use the induction zone again, first turn the control to "0".

Take particular care never to place cutlery or other metal objects on the cooktop. When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of metal items heating up with the danger of burning.

Switch the cooking zones off after use.

16

Induction

Noises

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

– Whistling might occur when two cooking zones are in use and the bases of the pans are made of layers of different materials and one of the linked cooking zones is being operated with its booster function.

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

The appliance has a cooling fan to help extend the life of the electronics. When the cooktop is being used intensively, this will come on and you will hear a whirring sound. The fan may continue to run after the appliance has been switched off.

17

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 cooktop, 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.

Pan size

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.

Please note that the maximum diameter quoted by manufacturers often refers to the diameter of the top rim of the pot or pan. The diameter of the base

(generally smaller) is more important.

Tips on saving energy

Use a lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss.

Switching on and off

,

Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.

Operation

Residual heat indicator

The residual heat indicator remains on until the induction cooktop is cool enough to touch.

Do not touch or place any heat sensitive objects on the induction cooktop while the residual heat display is still on. Danger of burning and fire.

Each cooking zone is switched on by turning the control clockwise a to the power setting required, and is switched

off by turning the control anticlockwise b to "0".

Do not turn the control to "0" by turning it past BI or BI/II.

When a cooking zone is switched on, the in-operation indicator lights up.

Once it has reached a certain temperature, the residual heat indicator also lights up.

After the appliance has been switched off, the in-operation indicator goes out.

When Auto heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone switches on automatically at the highest setting and 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).

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.

Taking a pan off the zone whilst Auto heat-up is in operation interrupts the

Auto heat-up. It will resume if a pan is placed back on the zone within 3 minutes.

Activating Auto heat-up

^ Turn the control anticlockwise as far as it will go, and hold in that position until A appears in the display.

If you hold the control for too long, L will appear in the display which means that the lock has been activated (see "Safety features -

Lock").

^ Turn the control clockwise to the continued cooking setting required.

Auto heat-up will not be activated if you do not select a continued cooking setting within 5 seconds.

The continued cooking setting can be changed during the first 10 seconds after Auto heat-up has been activated; after that, it cannot be changed.

Changing the continued cooking setting after 10 seconds deactivates

Auto heat-up.

An A lights up in the display during the

Auto heat-up phase.

21

Operation

Booster function

The cooking zones are equipped with single (l) or twin boosters (I/II) (see

"Guide to the appliance").

When activated, the power is boosted so that large quantities can be heated quickly, e.g. boiling water for cooking pasta. When Booster l is activated, the cooking zones will operate with extra power for 10 minutes and when Booster

II is activated with extra power for 15 minutes.

The booster function cannot be used with two cooking zones at the same time.

The cooking zone will automatically revert to power setting 9 at the end of the booster time. The B as well as the I or II will go out in the display.

Taking a pan off the zone whilst the booster is in operation interrupts the booster function. It will resume if a pan is placed back on the zone within 3 minutes.

To activate Booster l

^ Turn the control past power setting 9 to BI or BI/II, and then back to 9.

I will appear in the display for the cooking zone and the B booster indicator will light up.

To activate Booster II

^ Turn the control past power setting 9 to BI/II, and then back to 9.

I will appear in the display for the cooking zone and the B booster indicator will light up.

^ Turn the control past power setting 9 to BI/II, and then back to 9 once more.

II will appear in the display for the cooking zone.

To deactivate the booster function

The booster function can be cancelled early.

^ Keep turning the control past power setting 9 to BI or BI/II until the I or II symbol in the display goes out; or reduce the power setting.

22

Operation

Keeping warm

Each cooking zone has a keeping warm function.

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

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.

Useful 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.

23

Safety features

The control on the right is used to activate and deactivate the lock.

Cooktops with 4 cooking zones:

The control on the outside right is used to activate and deactivate the lock for the cooking zones on the right.

The second control from the left is used to activate and deactivate the lock for the cooking zones on the left.

Safety switch-off

Your cooktop is fitted with a safety switch-off feature in case you forget to switch it off yourself.

If one of the cooking zones is heated for an unusually long period of time

(see chart), and the power setting is not altered, the cooking zone will switch itself off automatically.

C and 0 will flash alternately in the display for that cooking zone.

To use the cooking zone again, first turn the control to "0".

The in-operation indicator and the display will go out.

To activate the lock:

^ Turn the control anti-clockwise as far as it will go, and hold in that position until L appears in the display.

Every time the control is touched after this, an L will show in the display for 3 seconds.

To deactivate the lock:

^ Turn the control anti-clockwise as far as it will go, and hold in that position until the L goes out, and 0 appears briefly in the display.

Safety features

Overheating protection

All the induction coils and the cooling element for the electronics are fitted with an overheating protection mechanism.

To prevent the induction coils and cooling element from overheating, the overheating protection mechanism works on the affected cooking zone or on the entire cooktop in the following ways:

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

– The power level will be reduced.

– If an induction coil is affected, the cooking zone with that coil will be switched off and an H will appear in the display.

Other cooking zones may switch off shortly afterwards.

^ Turn the control for the affected zone(s) to "0".

The cooking zone can only be used again in the normal way after the H has gone out.

If the control is not turned back to "0", C and 0 will flash in the display alternately. To use the cooking zone again, first turn the control to "0".

– If the cooling element is affected, the power supply to the cooking zones will be reduced.

As soon as the cooling element has cooled down sufficiently, the cooking zones will continue operating at the original power setting.

– If the temperature rises after the power supply has been reduced, the cooking zones will switch off.

Other cooking zones may switch off shortly afterwards.

C and 0 will flash alternately in the display.

^ Turn the control for the affected zone(s) to "0".

The cooking zones can be used again as soon as they have cooled down to a safe level.

Overheating can be caused by:

– heating up an empty pan

– fats or oils being heated up on the highest power setting.

– there being insufficient ventilation to the underside of the appliance.

If the overheating protection mechanism triggers again, contact the

Miele Customer Contact Centre.

Cleaning and care

Miele offer a range of branded cleaning and conditioning agents for your cooktop. See "Optional accessories".

,

Under no circumstances use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance . The steam could attack the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to other components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability.

The appliance should be cleaned after each use. Let it cool down to room temperature.

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 or your cooktop, do not use:

– 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,

– sharp pointed objects

(these can damage the seal between the frame and the worktop).

26

Cleaning and care

Ceramic surfaces

Wipe all coarse soiling off using a damp cloth. Stubborn soiling may need to be removed with a shielded scraper blade.

Then clean the cooktop with a suitable ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner (see "Optional accessories") applied with kitchen paper or a clean cloth. Do not apply cleaner whilst the cooktop is still hot, as this could result in marking. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Finally, wipe the cooktop with a damp cloth, then polish with a soft, dry cloth.

Ensure that all cleaner residues are removed. Residues can burn onto the cooktop the next time it is used, and cause damage to the ceramic surface.

Spots caused by limescale, water and aluminium residues (spots with a metalic appearance) can be removed using ceramic cooktop and stainless steel cleaner.

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 carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the cooktop whilst they are still hot using a shielded scraper blade. Take good care: danger of burning.

Allow the cooking zone to cool down, and then clean as described above with a suitable proprietary ceramic cooktop and stainless steel cleaner.

Stainless steel

The ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner is suitable for cleaning stainless steel surfaces (see "Optional accessories").

To help prevent resoiling, we recommend a stainless steel conditioner (see "Accessories").

Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.

Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on printed surfaces. This would rub off the print. These areas should be only cleaned with a solution of warm water and a small amount of washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge.

Problem solving guide

,

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. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

What to do if ...

... the cooking zones do not heat up.

Check whether

– the safety lock is activated.

If necessary, deactivate it (see

"Safety lock").

– the mains fuse has tripped.

– the overheating protection mechanism has been triggered (see section "Protection from overheating").

– the demo mode has been activated.

When demo mode has been activated, the " d" symbol will appear in the display for a second.

To deactivate demo mode, turn the control anticlockwise as far as it will go twice briefly (<1 second), then turn it again and hold for approx. 3 seconds.

If none of the above is the case, then turn the control to "0", and disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply for approx. 1 minute.

Reset the trip switch in the mains fuse box, and switch the appliance back on.

If it still will not switch on, contact a qualified electrician or the Miele

Customer Contact Centre.

... an ß appears in the display for a cooking zone.

Check whether

– the zone was switched on by mistake without a pan on it.

– the pan being used is suitable for use on an induction zone, and that it is large enough (see "Pans").

... an F appears in the display for a cooking zone.

The temperature sensor for that cooking zone is defective.

Do not use this zone until it has been repaired.

Contact your nearest Service Dept.

(See back page for address).

... one or more cooking zones has switched itself off automatically.

The safety switch-off feature or the overheating protection mechanism has been triggered (see "Safety switch-off" and "Overheating protection").

28

Problem solving guide

... one of the following has occurred:

– The booster has deactivated early automatically.

– C and 0 are flashing alternately in the display.

– An H is showing in the display.

The overheating protection mechanism has been triggered (see "Overheating protection").

... The cooling fan continues to run after the appliance has been switched off.

This is not a fault. The fan will continue running until the appliance has cooled down. It will then switch itself off automatically.

... the food in the pan hardly heats up or does not heat up at all when the

Auto heat-up function is switched on.

This could be because:

– there is too much food in the pan.

– the pan not conducting heat properly.

Select a higher continued cooking setting next time or start cooking at the highest setting and then turn down to a lower setting manually later on.

^ Check that the appliance works.

Once installed, the appliance can only be lifted out using a special tool. It can also be pushed up out ofe the cut-out from below. It must be pushed up from the back first.

42

General installation tips

Tiled worktop

Do not use sealant between the frame of the top part of the appliance and the worktop.

This could cause difficulties if the applinace ever needs to be taken out for servicing and possibly result in damage to the frame or the worktop.

The sealing strip under the edge of the top part of the applinace provides a sufficient seal for the worktop.

The grouting a and the shaded area underneath the appliance frame must be smooth and even so that the frame sits evenly and the sealing strip underneath the top part of the appliance provides a sufficient seal for the worktop.

Tiled worktops must be a minimum

5 mm thick to ensure the surface temperatures of the combustible surfaces underneath the tiles do not exceed 50 K above ambient.

43

Electrical connection

All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations.

If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a suitably qualified electrician with a special connection cable of type H 05 V V-F

(pvc insulated), available from the Miele

Spare Parts Department.

For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD), with a trip current of 30 mA.

Connection for each appliance should be made via a suitable isolator.

Note: Isolation of the appliance is required when the appliance safety device is activated. Ensure the isolating switch is easily accessible and visible.

The data plate gives the necessary data for connection.
