FAQs
Can I use cast iron pans on this induction hob?
Yes, as long as the base of the cast iron pan is flat and magnetic. Always place pans gently to avoid scratching the glass surface.
Does the hob require a specific voltage?
The hob requires a hard-wired electrical connection. Please refer to the installation manual or consult a professional electrician regarding your specific supply requirements.
What is Con@ctivity?
Con@ctivity allows your Miele hob to communicate wirelessly with a compatible Miele extractor hood, automatically adjusting suction power based on your hob's activity.
How do I activate the child safety lock?
Refer to the user manual, as the specific sequence typically involves pressing and holding the lock symbol on the control panel for a few seconds.
Can I install this flush with a stone countertop?
Yes, the unit is designed for flush-mounted installation, which provides a seamless look, though this should be performed by a professional installer.
Troubleshooting
Hob will not turn on or is unresponsive
Check the main circuit breaker or fuse. If the unit remains unresponsive, ensure the child safety lock is not activated.
Cookware is making a buzzing noise
This is often due to the quality or material of the cookware. Use high-quality, flat-bottomed induction-compatible pots to minimize vibration.
Heating stops suddenly during use
The overheat protection may have triggered. Ensure proper ventilation space beneath the hob and remove any items covering the control area.
