or potholders when using the appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces can result in steam burns. Do not let the potholder touch the hot heating elements. Do not use towels or other bulky items near the appliance.

Be sure drafts do not blow

flammable material toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.

Be aware of loose fitting or hanging

garments when operating the combiset, they may present a fire hazard.

Do not heat unopened containers.

Built-up pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

WARNING - NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating.

Install the combiset in a room that

has sufficient ventilation.

This appliance must not be

operated outdoors.

Make sure all components of the

gas burner is assembled correctly before using the combiset.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use pans that extend past

the burner grate. Using larger pans may cause the flames to spread out and damage the surrounding countertop or other countertop appliances.

For safety and stability, do not use

pans with a bottom diameter smaller than the burner grate.

Only certain types of glass, ceramic

or other glazed cookware are suitable for use on a combiset without breaking due to the sudden temperature change.

Do not use containers made of

plastic or aluminum. They may melt at high temperatures.

The burner grates supplied with the

appliance must always be used. Never place a pan on the burner by itself.

Do not use aluminum foil to line any

part of the combiset.

For proper lighting and performance

of the burner, keep the igniter clean and dry.

Do not heat empty pots or pans,

they may be damaged.

Always position pan handles and

utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burner or the edge of the combiset.

Do not store items on the appliance

when not in use. Items could melt or catch fire from residual heat or if the appliance is turned on inadvertently.

Never cover the appliance with a

cloth. A fire may result.

Do not let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate on the appliance.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

the appliance. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Spills containing salt or sugar

should be removed immediately.

Do not leave the combiset

unattended while in use. Boil-overs cause smoking, and greasy spill-overs may ignite.

Do not use water on grease fires.

Smother any fire or flame, or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

For safety reasons the flame should

be adjusted to be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can climb the sides of the pan.

Ensure that the burner is always

covered with a pan.

Only use cooking utensils suitable

for combiset use.

Do not flambé under an exhaust

hood. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction or the grease filters may ignite.

If there is a drawer directly

underneath the appliance without a wooden base in between, ensure that no aerosols, combustible liquids or other easily flammable materials are kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be placed in the drawer, they must be made of a heat-resistant material.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Make certain that the power cords of

small appliances do not come in contact with the appliance. The insulation of the cable could become damaged. Danger of electric shock!

In the event of damage or defect,

turn off the appliance immediately. Turn off the gas shut off valve and disconnect completely from the electrical supply. Contact the Miele Technical Service Department. Do not use the appliance until it has been repaired. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance while repair work is carried out.

Before using the combiset

Cleaning the combiset

Before using for the first time clean the appliance as follows:

Remove any protective foil.

Wash the removable parts of the gas

burner in a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap.

Dry and reassemble the parts in the

correct order (see "Cleaning and care").

Wipe down the stainless steel

combiset with a suitable cleaner and dry thoroughly.

Metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight odor the first time your new appliance is heated.

The harmless odor will dissipate after a short time and does not indicate a faulty connection or appliance defect.

Operation

Turning on and off / Regulating

The control knob is used to turn on the burner and to regulate the strength of the flame.

ß The gas supply is turned off

* Ignition setting

& Highest flame

/ Lowest flame

The knob must only be turned left to turn the appliance on and right to turn it off.

If the knob is :

- turned on without pressing it down first,

- turned clockwise to turn on, or

- turned counterclockwise to turn the combiset off,

parts of the combiset might get damaged. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for these damages.

Turning on

To turn on the burner, press the

control knob down and turn it counterclockwise to the ignition position a to turn on.

When the flame ignites, keep the

control pressed in for 8-10 seconds, and then let go.

If the burner does not ignite or the flame goes out, turn the control knob to "ß". Try again after a few seconds.

If the burner still will not ignite after the second attempt, turn the control knob to "ß" and see "Frequently asked questions".

Adjust the knob to the desired setting.

Operation

Adjusting the flame

The burner can be variably adjusted between the lowest and highest flame by turning the control knob.

Since the outer portion of the flame is much hotter than the center, the flame should be set so that its tips do not spread beyond the sides of the pan. Flame tips which extend beyond the sides of the pan are hazardous.

Turning off

^ Turn the control clockwise to "ß".

This stops the flow of gas and the flame goes out.

Using the cooktop during a power failure

If there is an interruption to the electrical supply, the gas can be ignited using a match.

Press the control knob down and turn

it counterclockwise to the ignition position.

While holding down the knob, light

the gas at the burner with a match.

When the flame appears, keep the control knob pressed in for 8 - 10 seconds to allow the Ignition Safety Control to reach operating temperature.

Pans

Pan size

Set the combiset to a high flame

–

when using a large diameter pan and low flame when using a small diameter pan.

Generally, wide / shallow pans will

–

heat faster and cook more evenly than narrow / tall ones.

– Using oversized pans may cause the

flames to spread out and damage the surrounding countertop or other countertop appliances.

– Do not use small pans with high

flame settings, the flame can climb the sides of the pan.

– Pots with a smaller diameter than the

burner grates and pots that do not sit securely (without wobbling) are hazardous and should not be used.

Suitable pans

Unlike pans used on an electric combiset, the bases do not need to be even for good results.

Thick pan bases will give more even results, as hot spots are reduced due to better heat distribution.

Thin pan bases will conduct the heat faster but not as evenly as thick pan bases. Stir the food frequently to prevent burning.

You can use a wok without any additional rings, trivets, etc.

The burner grates supplied with the appliance must always be used. Never place a pan on the burner by itself.
