Miele Induction Cooktop

Start cooking

Place your pan on a cooking element. A small pan can be used on a larger element, but a large pan should not be placed on a small element.
Do not turn on the element until you are ready to cook.
Touch and hold the power symbol for at least 3 seconds. The individual burner controls will illuminate.
On the control for your selected burner, press 0, then slide your finger to the right to choose a heat level: 1 = low; 9 = high.

Turn off and clean

Select 0 on each burner you want to turn off, or use the main power button to turn off the cooktop.
Keep the surface clean and dry before cooking. Wait until the surface is cool to the touch before cleaning after use.
Use the cleaner labeled for the cooktop, located under the sink or in the basket.
Lift pans instead of sliding them across the glass to avoid scratches.
Full cooktop instructions are in the house binder. Please contact your host if you need help.
