Warning and Safety instructions If the cooktop is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a door), ensure that the door is never closed whilst the cooktop is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture panel and cause subsequent damage to the cooktop, the housing unit and the floor.
Page 10
Warning and Safety instructions Correct use The cooktop 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. Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the appliance could catch fire.
Page 11
Warning and Safety instructions 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 cooktop heating up, with the danger of burning.

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 the Miele ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner (see "Cleaning and care"). If spills remain on the cooktop for any length of time they can burn on and in certain circumstances become impossible to remove.

How the cooking zones work Single circle cooking zones have one Single circle zone heating element, whilst double circle 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...
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 the Miele ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner (see "Cleaning and care"). Please be aware that the properties of the pan base can affect the evenness with which food heats up in the pan.
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. – Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss. – Select a smaller pan when cooking small quantities.
