Warning and Safety instructions 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.
Page 18
Warning and Safety instructions 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.
Page 19
Warning and Safety instructions 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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".
Operation Switching on The hob must be switched on before any of the zones can be used. Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used. To switch the hob on ^ Touch the s sensor. 0 will appear in each of the cooking zone displays. 00 will appear in the timer display.
Operation Settings The appliance is delivered with 9 power levels programmed in. If you wish to fine-tune a setting, you can extend the power level range (see "Programming"). The intermediate setting will be represented by an illuminated dot next to the number.
Operation Auto heat-up When Auto heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone switches on automatically at the highest power level/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). To activate Auto heat-up ^ Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want.
Operation Booster function The cooking zones are equipped with a Booster or TwinBooster (see "Guide to the appliance"). When activated, the power is boosted for 15 minutes so that large quantities can be heated quickly, e.g. when boiling water for cooking pasta. The Booster function can only be used on two cooking zones at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.
Page 32
Operation To switch on the Booster ^ Touch the sensor for selecting the cooking zone you want. ^ Select a power level if you wish. ^ Touch the B I/II sensor. The indicator lamp for the Booster lights up, and h starts to flash in the cooking zone display.
Operation Keeping warm function Each cooking zone has a keeping warm function ("h"). The "h" function is in between the "0" setting and the "1"setting . 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.
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.
Tips on saving energy – Use a pan lid whenever possible 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. –...
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 9 hours (9.^).
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").
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.
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.

Safety features To activate the locks ^ Touch the - and + sensors at the same time until a long tone sounds. To deactivate the locks ^ Touch the - and + sensors at the same time until a tone sounds.
Safety features Safety switch-off Safety switch-off with an over-long cooking time If one of the cooking zones is heated for an unusually long period of time (see chart) and the power level is not altered, the hob will switch itself off automatically and the relevant residual heat indicator will light up.
Safety features Overheating protection Induction coils/Cooling elements 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: Induction coils –...
Page 43
Safety features 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.
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.
Page 45
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.
Additional functions Reset The hob has a reset function. This allows you to restore all settings changed using the programming function to their original factory default settings. To activate the reset function ^ Switch the hob on. ^ Touch and keep your fingers on the sensors for the front left-hand and front right-hand cooking zones at the same time until the indicators for these cooking zones have gone out (approx.
Additional functions Programming You can change the default settings of the programme options (see chart). Several settings can be altered in succession. After the programming mode has been called up, P (Programme), S (Status) and numbers will appear in the cooking zone displays.
