Pots and pans Special cookware is not required, but as is true with all types of cooking appliances, the better the cookware, the better the performance. The cooking surface The ceramic cooktop is made of an extremely hard and durable material. Ridged pots with dirty or chipped enamel bottoms may scratch the cooktop if they are pulled across the ceramic surface. Certain items, particularly sugar grains or crystallized liquids such as molasses or syrups are harder than ceramic and can scratch the surface if they are not cleaned off immediately. Small or light scratches will not affect the safety or performance of the cooktop. The burner rings and touch controls are fused into the ceramic glass and are resistant to wear if properly maintained. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads, as they may eventually wear off the rings. ­ For the most even and energy efficient cooking, the diameter of the pots/pans should match the diameter of the burners as closely as possible. ­ Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth bottoms. If you touch the $ Safety lock control or select a setting, the indicator will come on again to show that the Safety Lock has been activated. To deactivate the Safety Lock ^ Press and hold the $ Safety lock control until the indicator goes out. In the case of a power failure the Safety Lock will be deactivated. 21 Safety features Safety cut-out feature The cooktop is on too long The cooktop has a safety cut-out feature in case it is not turned off after use.

Power level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Maximum operating hours 10 5 5 4 3 2 2 2 1 Covered touch controls The cooktop will turn off automatically if any of the touch controls are covered for more than 10 seconds, e. g. by finger contact, food boiling over, or an object such as an oven mitt or towel. The display will show a flashing F. ^ Clean the touch controls or remove the object. The burners can now be used. ^ If you wish to use the burners once again, turn the cooktop on as you normally would. 22 Safety features Overheating protection Each burner is equipped with a temperature limiter. This limiter turns off the heating elements in the burner before the ceramic surface becomes too hot. Once the ceramic surface has cooled to a safe temperature the heating elements will automatically turn back on. The overheating protection may be activated by: ­ turning on a burner without putting a pan on it. [. . . ] However, under certain conditions it may be possible for installation in these applications. Please contact the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements. The cooktop must not be permanently sealed into the countertop when installed. The sealing strip under the edge of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for the countertop. [. . . ]
