Induction

How it works

If a suitable pan is placed on the burner

within 3 minutes, the ß will go out and

you can continue cooking as normal.

An induction coil is located under each

burner. When a burner is switched on,

this coil creates a magnetic field which

impacts directly on the base of the pan

and heats it up. The burner itself is

heated indirectly by the heat given off

by the pan.

If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed

on the burner, the burner and the

cooktop will switch off automatically

after 3 minutes.

Be careful not to place cutlery or

other metal objects on the cooktop.

When the appliance is switched on,

or when there is residual heat

present, there is the risk of metal

objects heating up quickly.

Induction burners only work when a

magnetic based pan is placed on it

(see "Cookware").

Induction automatically recognizes the

size of the pan, i.e. heat is only

generated in the area covered by the

base of the pan.

Beware of burns.

Depending on the material, other

objects left on the cooktop could

also melt or catch fire. Switch the

burners off after use.

The burner 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 pan is too small.

– if the pan is taken off the burner

when it is switched on.

If this happens, ß will flash in the

relevant burner display alternating with

0 or the last selected power level

selected.

Induction

Noises

The appliance has a cooling fan to help

extend the life of the electronics. When

the cooktop is being used at high levels

for a long period of time, this will come

on and you will hear a whirring sound.

The fan may continue to run after the

appliance has been switched off.

When using an induction burner, the

following noises can occur in the pan,

depending on what it is made of and

how it is constructed.

– Higher power settings may cause a

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. a

sandwiched base), a cracking sound

may be heard.

– Whistling might occur if linked

burners (see "Booster function") are

being used on the highest setting at

the same time, and the pans have

bases made of layers of different

materials.

– You may hear a clicking sound from

the electronic switches, especially on

lower settings.

Induction

Cookware

Pan size

Suitable pans include:

To make optimum use of the burners,

choose cookware that fits between the

inner and outer marking of the burner. If

the base diameter of the pan is smaller

than the inner marking, the induction

heating will not work. The burner will

behave as if it had no pan on it.

– stainless steel pans with a magnetic

base

– enameled steel pans

– cast iron pans

Unsuitable pans:

– stainless steel pans without a

magnetic base

– aluminum 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.

Unless the pan manufacturer states

that you can do so, do not use pans

with very thin bases on this cooktop,

and never heat up empty pans. This

could damage the appliance and

cookware.

Before using for the first time

Clean the cooktop

Heat the cooktop

^ Before using for the first time, clean

the appliance with a damp cloth and

dry with a soft cloth.

Metal components of the cooktop have

a protective coating which may give off

a slight odor the first time the appliance

is heated.

The smell will dissipate after a short

time and does not indicate a faulty

connection or appliance defect.

Be sure to touch only the desired

sensor area and keep the control

panel clean and clear. Otherwise,

the touch controls may not respond,

or unintentional commands may be

Safety features

Overheating protection

Overheating can be caused by:

– heating an empty pan.

The induction coils and the cooling

element of the electronic are fitted with

a overheating protection feature. This

prevents the induction coils and cooling

element from overheating.

– fats or oils being heated on the

highest power setting.

– there being insufficient ventilation to

the under side of the appliance.

This mechanism works on the affected

burner or on the entire cooktop in the

following ways:

If the overheating protection

mechanism triggers again, contact

Miele Technical Service.

– If the booster function is being used,

this will be switched off.

– The power level will be reduced.

– If an induction coil is affected, the

cooktop will switch off. The fault

code FE99 will be displayed.

The burner can be used again as soon

as it has cooled to a safe temperature.

– If the cooling element is affected, the

power supply to the burners will be

reduced, and the set power level will

continue to be displayed.

As soon as the cooling element has

cooled sufficiently, the burners will

automatically continue to operate at the

original power setting.

Cleaning and Care

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

this appliance. Steam could

penetrate electrical components and

cause a short circuit. Pressurized

steam could cause permanent

damage to the surface and to

components for which the

Clean any spills immediately before

they become difficult to remove.

manufacturer cannot accept

responsibility.

Do not use any sharp pointed

objects which could damage the

seal between the ceramic surface,

the surrounding frame and the

countertop.

^ Apply a ceramic cleaner using a soft

cloth or paper towel. To remove any

limescale deposits or metallic residue

apply a ceramic cleaner using a soft

cloth and a shielded scraper blade if

necessary.

Never use abrasive or caustic (oven)

cleaners, dishwasher detergent,

scouring pads, steel wool or hard

brushes. They will damage the

surface.

^ After cleaning wipe the ceramic

surface with a damp cloth and dry.

A cleaner with a special additive to

prevent water marks and smears on the

ceramic surface may be used.

The ceramic surface can be cleaned

using a cleaner for ceramic

surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s

instructions.

Any melted solids like sugar, plastic or

aluminum foil should be removed as

soon as possible, while the burner is

still warm. If they are allowed to harden

the cooktop may become pitted.

Make sure that no cleaner residue

remains on the ceramic surface by

carefully wiping the cooktop with a

damp cloth. They may damage the

cooktop or produce toxic fumes

when heated.

^ Turn the burner off.

^ Using a shielded scraper blade,

scrape the melted item immediately

off the burner while it is still hot.

Use caution: Danger of burns!

Be sure that pot and pan bases are

clean and dry.

^ Allow the cooktop to cool and clean
