Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing Disposing of your old material appliance The transport and protective packing Electrical and electronic appliances has been selected from materials often contain materials which, if which are environmentally friendly for handled or disposed of incorrectly, disposal and should be recycled.
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" 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.
How the cooking zones work Single circle cooking zones have one heating element, whilst double circle cooking zones and extended zones have two. Depending on the model, the heating elements may be separated by an insulating ring. Each cooking zone has overheating protection (a temperature limiter), which stops the ceramic surface from becoming too hot (see "Overheating protection").
Operation This ceramic cooktop is equipped with electronic sensor switches which react to finger contact. To operate a cooking zone, touch the relevant sensor. Each time you touch a sensor, an audible tone sounds. The cooking zones have to be "active" when you want to set or adjust a power setting or the duration.
Switching on The cooktop 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 cooktop on ^ Touch the "s" sensor. 0 appears in each of the cooking zone displays. If no further entry is made, the cooktop will switch itself off after a few seconds for safety reasons.
Settings The appliance is programmed with 9 power settings at the factory. If you wish to fine-tune a setting, you can extend the power setting range (see "Programming"). The intermediate setting will be represented by an illuminated dot next to the number.
Auto heat-up 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.
Switching off and residual heat indicators To switch off a cooking zone ^ Touch the sensor of the required cooking zone twice. A 0 flashes 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.
– Pots and pans made of aluminium or with an aluminium base can leave a metallic sheen on the cooktop. This can be removed with the Original Miele ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner (see "Cleaning and care"). – Do not use pots and pans on the ceramic cooktop with bases with pronounced edges or ridges, e.g.
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. Too small Suitable – Use a lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss. Uncovered Covered –...
Safety features Safety lock/System lock Keep children away from the cooktop for their own safety. Your appliance is equipped with a safety lock to prevent the cooktop and the cooking zones being switched on or any settings being altered. The Safety lock is activated when the cooktop is switched on.
Page 28
Safety features To activate the safety lock ^ Touch the sensor switch $ until the appropriate control light lights up and an audible tone sounds. The indicator lamp will go out after a short while. To deactivate the safety lock ^ Touch the $ sensor until the indicator lamp goes out.
Safety features Safety cut-out 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 settings are not altered, the cooktop will switch itself off automatically and the corresponding residual heat indicator will appear.
Safety features Overheating protection Cooking zones Each zone is equipped with overheating protection (internal temperature limiter). This switches off the heating element automatically before the ceramic surface overheats. You can tell that the overheating protection has activated because the heating switches on and off even when the highest setting is selected.
Cleaning and care Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. The appliance should be cleaned regularly, preferably after each use. Allow it to cool down to room temperature before cleaning.
