For best results, utilize pots and  
pans that are the same size as the  
cooktop heating elements.  
Do not repair or replace any part of  
the appliance unless specifically  
recommended in the manual. All other  
servicing should be refered to a quali-  
fied technician.  
If high settings are used, be cau-  
tious of splattering grease or  
liquids boiling over which may produce  
smoke.  
Do not use water on grease fires.  
Smother the fire or use a dry  
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.  
Use only dry potholders.  
Do not cook on a broken cooktop –  
If the cooktop should break,  
Use only cookware suitable for  
range-top service. Unsuitable  
cookware may break due to sudden  
temperature changes.  
cleaning solutions and spillovers may  
penetrate the broken cooktop and  
create a risk of electrical shock.  
Contact the Miele Service Department  
or your local Service dealer.  
Always position the handle of the  
cookware toward the center of the  
cooktop to minimize burns, spillage  
and ignition of flammable materials.  
Clean the cooktop using caution –  
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to  
wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be  
careful to avoid steam burns. Some  
cleaners can produce toxic fumes if ap-  
plied to a hot surface.  
Before removing pots and pans,  
be sure to turn surface units to OFF.  
Always heat fat slowly, monitoring  
it as it heats.  
Under no circumstance use a  
steam-cleaning appliance to clean  
the cooktop.  
The steam could penetrate to live com-  
ponents and cause a short circuit.  
When frying foods, make sure that  
the food is as dry as possible to  
prevent moisture from causing hot fat  
to bubble over.  
When shallow or deep-frying, do  
not overfill the pan with oil.

Description of cooking areas  
The temperature limiter may also be ac-  
tivated when the utensils are suitable.  
The reason for this could be light co-  
lored saucepan bases (heat reflection)  
or poor transfer of heat from the sauce-  
pan base to the food.  
Cooking areas - diameter  
The cooking areas are clearly marked  
on the cooktop unit. Only the area  
which has been turned on will be  
heated. The rest of the cooktop surface  
will remain relatively cool.  
Important note  
Residual heat indicator  
While the cooking areas are heating  
up, a “hummingnoise may be no-  
ticed. This is caused by magnetization  
of the heating filaments. As the cooking  
areas heat up, the humming noise will  
diminish and finally will cease al-  
together.  
Each cooking area has a residual heat  
indicator. When a cooking area is  
turned on, its residual heat indicator  
lights up. It only goes out after the cook-  
ing area has been turned off and the  
cooking surface has reached a tem-  
perature safe to the touch.  
For halogen cooking areas only:  
Temperature limiter  
The radiant elements work together  
with the halogen lamps. This gives a  
quicker heat transfer to the pan base,  
resulting in a shorter heating-up period.  
All cooking areas are equipped with a  
temperature limiter, which turns the  
heating element off if the temperature  
under the ceramic surface gets too  
high.  
The temperature limiter turns the heat-  
ing element on again after the tempera-  
ture has returned to a safe level.  
The temperature limiter operates  
. . . when unsuitable cooking utensils  
are used (e.g. saucepans with uneven  
bases or which are too small).  
. . . when cooking areas are used with-  
out pots.

Operation  
Operation  
Saucepans  
Saucepan size  
The following notes are designed to en-  
able you to  
. . . make the best use of energy when  
using your ceramic cooktop.  
. . . prevent food from boiling over and  
burning on to the ceramic cooktop.  
The diameter of the saucepan should  
be a little larger than that of the cooking  
area.  
Pots and pans are available which  
have been specially tested for use on  
glass ceramic cooktops.  
Saucepan lids  
Saucepan bases  
A lid on the saucepan will prevent heat  
from being lost, and decrease the cook-  
ing time.  
So that optimum energy consumption  
is achieved during cooking, only sauce-  
pans with bases as flat as possible, or  
very slightly concave, should be used.  
When the saucepan is hot, the base  
should rest evenly on the ceramic sur-  
face.  
Only use saucepans approved for  
use on ceramic cooktops. Do not  
use pots or pans having bases with  
pronounced edges or ridges as  
these could permanently scratch  
the cooktop surface.  
12  
 
Operation  
Operation  
When using aluminum or stainless  
Note:  
steel utensils, the metal can affect  
the ceramic surface by leaving white  
colored spots behind.  
Do not use any pots or pans on the  
ceramic cooktops having bases  
with pronounced edges or ridges.  
These could permanently scratch  
the cooktop surface.  
These spots can be removed most  
easily if they are treated immediately  
with a ceramic cooktop cleaner (see  
chapter on “Cleaning and Care”).  
Place a saucepan on the cooking  
area before turning on the appliance  
to save energy.  
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or  
pieces of plastic or aluminum foil  
onto the ceramic cooktop unit when  
it is hot.  
The ceramic surface and the base of  
the saucepan should be clean and  
dry.  
If this should occur do not turn the  
appliance off. Scrape the remains  
from the cooktop with a razor blade,  
taking care not to burn yourself.  
This saves unnecessary cleaning  
after cooking and protects the cook-  
ing area.  
Care should be taken that no gra-  
nules (e. g. salt, sugar, etc.) are on  
the cooktop when cooking.  
If it is allowed to cool before the  
cooktop has been cleaned, the ce-  
ramic surface will be susceptible to  
pitting or cracking.  
If such granules should find their  
way under a saucepan when it is  
pushed across the cooktop, the  
granules could scratch the surface.  
Do not push enamelled baking  
sheets, frying pans or saucepans  
across the ceramic surface.  
Scratches may occur.

Ceramic cooktop  
Generally you can use the same clean-  
ing agents for the ceramic cooktop as  
you would for ordinary glass surfaces.  
Do not turn off the cooking area!  
Scrape off the residue thoroughly  
from the hot cooktop with a razor  
blade, taking care not to burn your-  
self. Then turn off the cooktop, and  
when it is cool, clean with a ceramic  
cooktop cleaner.  
Never use scouring agents or pads,  
or strong cleaners such as oven  
sprays or stain removers, as these  
could harm the surface.  
Clean after each use  
Suitable ceramic cooktop cleaners  
Wipe off any minor spills with a damp  
cloth.  
There are special cleaners on the mar-  
ket for ceramic cooktops. Follow the  
manufacturer’s instructions.  
If the cooktop is cleaned with a soap,  
for example dishwashing liquid, light  
blue staining may occur. These stains  
can be removed with a ceramic cook-  
top cleaner, although they can be  
stubborn and may take several applica-  
tions.  
If you have difficulty finding a suitable  
ceramic cooktop cleaner, contact the  
Miele Service Department for advice.  
Do not apply to the cooktop when  
still hot.  
Hardened spills should be carefully  
scraped off with a razor blade. The  
cooktop surface should then be  
rubbed clean with a damp cloth.  
After applying the ceramic cooktop  
cleaner let it dry and then rub it off  
using a soft towel.  
Light marks with a metallic sheen  
Always make sure that every trace of  
cleaning agent has been removed, as it  
could have an adverse effect on the  
cooktop when turned on.  
Aluminum deposits on the cooktop sur-  
face can be removed once the cooktop  
has cooled down by using a ceramic  
cooktop cleaner.  
Lime deposits caused by water boiling  
over, can be removed with vinegar or a  
ceramic cooktop cleaner.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning and care  
Some cleaners incorporate a silicone  
Control panel / Control knobs  
agent which acts as a protective film  
for the ceramic cooktop.  
Do not use any scouring agents or  
pads on the knobs or control panel,  
as these could cause damage.  
It makes the cooktop surface smoother  
and prevents water and food from ad-  
hering to the surface.  
Clean the cooktop controls and the con-  
trol panel with hot water and a little dish-  
washing liquid.  
After application, rub dry with a clean  
cloth.  
Cooking at high temperatures reduces  
this effect and the cleaner may need to  
be reapplied.  
By cleaning your ceramic surface with  
one of these agents, you will help avoid  
damage caused by sugar, syrups and  
aluminum foil deposits.

Correcting minor faults  
Correcting minor faults  
Repairs to electrical appliances  
should only be carried out by a  
trained person. Unauthorized re-  
pairs can be dangerous.  
Some minor problems, however, can  
be remedied as follows:  
What to do if . . .  
. . . a humming sound is heard while  
the ceramic cooktop is heating up?  
This is not a fault. As the cooking area  
heats up, the humming disappears  
completely.  
. . . a resistance is felt between set-  
tings 7 and 8?  
This is not a fault. The resistance is  
there to indicate that a higher tempera-  
ture range is being reached.  
. . . the cooking area does not get hot  
when turned on and the indicator  
lamp does not light?  
Check that the circuit breaker hasn’t  
tripped.  
If it has, call the Miele Service De-  
partment for assistance.
