12
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective
foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the hob is
switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
If the appliance is switched on by mistake, or if there is residual
heat present, there is the risk of any metal items placed on the hob
heating up. Other materials can melt or catch fire. Do not use the
appliance as a resting place for anything.
You could burn yourself on the hot hob. Protect your hands with
heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself on steam. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the
gas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, tea towels or other similar
materials.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food blender,
near the hob, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot
come into contact with the hot hob. The insulation on the cable
could become damaged.
Even a light object can cause damage in certain circumstances.

Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the hob.
When a control knob is pressed down, a spark is generated on the
ignitor. Do not press down the control knob while you are cleaning or
touching the hob or a burner in the vicinity of an ignitor.
If a cooker hood is installed above the hob, ensure that the
burners are always covered with a pan when in use. Otherwise
flames could reach the cooker hood, parts of which could then be
damaged or even set on fire.
Only light the gas burners after all burner parts have been properly
assembled.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
Pans must be the correct size for the burner they are used on (see
“Suitable Pans”). A pan which is too small will be unstable on the
pan support. If the pan diameter is too large, flames can spread out
to the sides and damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings or
surrounding units and also parts of the hob. Miele cannot be held
liable for this type of damage.
Ensure that the flames from the burner do not spread out beyond
the base and up the sides of the pan.
Do not use pans with very thin bases on this hob, and never heat
up empty pans as they could get damaged. This could also damage
the appliance.
The pan support supplied with the appliance must always be
used. Never place a pan on the burner itself.
Replace the pan supports carefully to avoid scratching the surface
of the hob.
Do not use or store flammable materials near this hob.
Remove splashes of fat and other food debris from the surface of
the hob as soon as possible. These are a fire hazard.
Using the hob will cause a build-up of heat and moisture in the
room in which it is installed. Ensure that the room has sufficient
natural or mechanical means of ventilation, e.g.a cooker hood.
If the hob is used for very long periods of time, additional
ventilation of the room may be necessary, e.g. by opening windows
or doors, or running the cooker hood on the highest setting.
Do not use roasting dishes, pans or grilling stones that are large
enough to cover more than one burner. The resulting build-up of
heat could damage the hob.
If the hob has not been used for a long period of time it should be
thoroughly cleaned before it is used again. It is also advisable to
have the appliance tested by a qualified person for safety.
14
Warning and Safety instructions

16
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. They are,
however, essential for the correct
functioning of your appliance. Please
do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Miele dealer for
advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal.

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.
Remove any protective wrapping and
stickers.
Cleaning the SmartLine
element for the first time
Clean all removable parts of the
burners with a solution of warm water
and a small amount of washing-up
liquid applied with a soft sponge. Dry
all parts thoroughly after cleaning and
then reassemble the burners (see
“Cleaning and care”).
Clean the ceramic surface with a
damp cloth, and then wipe dry.
Switching on the SmartLine
element for the first time
The metal components have a
protective coating. Smells and possibly
some vapours may occur when the
SmartLine element is used for the first
time.

- Select the pan to suit the size of the
burner:
large diameter = large burner
small diameter = small burner.
- Observe the dimensions given in the
chart. Using pans that are too large
can cause the flames to spread out
and damage the surrounding worktop
or other appliances. Using pans of
the correct size improves efficiency.
Pans that are smaller than the pot
rests and pans that do not stand
safely (without wobbling) on the pot
rests are dangerous and should not
be used.
- Cookware with a thick base is
preferable as the heat is distributed
evenly. With thinner based cookware,
there is the risk that food will
overheat in places. Therefore it
should be stirred more frequently.
- Always place the cookware on the
pot rests supplied. Do not place
cookware directly on the burners.
- Place the cookware on the pot rests
in such a way that it cannot tip over.
A minor wobble can never be
completely excluded.
- Do not use pots or pans with an
edge-supported base.
- In contrast to pans for use on electric
hobs, the bases of pans for use on
gas hobs do not need to be flat to
achieve good results.
- Remember when purchasing new
pans that manufacturers usually refer
to the diameter at the top of the pan
in their documentation, and not to the
base diameter.
- You can use any cookware that is
heat-resistant.
23
Tips on saving energy
- Use a pan lid whenever possible to
minimize heat loss.
- Wide, shallow pans are preferable to
tall, narrow ones. They will heat up
faster.
- Cook with as little water as possible.
- Reduce the size of the flame once the
water has come to the boil or the oil
is hot enough to fry in.
- Use a pressure cooker to reduce
cooking times.
24
Operation
Switching on
If you are operating a gas cooking
element next to a downdraft
extractor, this will affect the gas
cooking element's function.
Place the FlameGuard between the
gas cooking element and the
downdraft extractor.
Risk of fire with overheated food.
Unattended food can overheat and
catch alight.
Do not leave the hob unattended
whilst it is being used.
Press in the relevant rotary control
and turn it anticlockwise to the large
flame symbol. The ignition electrode
will “click” and ignite the gas.
When the rotary control is operated, a
spark is automatically produced on all
burners. This is normal and does not
indicate a fault.
When a flame is visible, keep the
rotary control pressed down for 5–
10seconds, and then let it go.
Switching on during a power outage
If there is an interruption to the
electricity supply, the gas can be
ignited manually, e.g. with a match.
Press in the relevant control and turn
it anti-clockwise to the large flame
symbol.
Hold the control pressed in and light
the gas at the burner with a match.
Keep the control pressed in for a
further 5-10seconds and then
release it.
FlameGuard
Install the FlameGuard directly next to
the downdraft extractor when you are
operating a gas cooking element.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the
rotary control to the position.
Ventilate the room or wait for at least
1minute before trying again. When
making another ignition attempt, it
may be necessary to hold the rotary
control for longer.
If the burner does not ignite the
second time, turn the rotary control
back to the position and see
“Problem solving guide”.
25
Operation
Adjusting the flame
The burners can be regulated at any
level between the strongest and
weakest flame.
As the outer part of the flame is much
hotter than the centre, the tips of the
flames should stay beneath the pan
base. Flame tips which extend beyond
the sides of the pan merely warm up
the air in the room and can also
damage pan handles and increase the
danger of injury.
Adjust the flame so that it does not
spread out beyond the sides of the
pan.
Switching off
Turn the rotary control clockwise to
the position.
The gas supply is cut off and the flame
goes out.
26
Thermo-electric flame failure
monitor
Your hob is equipped with a thermoelectric flame failure monitor. If a gas
flame is extinguished, e.g. by food
boiling over or by a draught, the gas
supply is switched off. This prevents the
release of gas. If you turn the rotary
control to the position, the burner is
ready for use again.
The thermo-electric flame failure
monitor operates independently from
the electricity supply. This means that
it will still work if the hob is used
during a power cut.
Safety features
27
Cleaning and care
Danger of burning due to hot
surfaces.
The hob surface, pan supports and
burners will be hot after use.
Allow the hob to cool down before
cleaning it.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance could reach live electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the hob.
All surfaces could be discoloured or
damaged if unsuitable cleaning
agents are used. All surfaces are
susceptible to scratching.
Remove all cleaning agent residues
immediately.
Never use abrasive sponges or
cleaning agents.
Clean the SmartLine element and
accessories after each use.
Dry the SmartLine element thoroughly
after every cleaning to avoid
limescale residue.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the
appliance, do not use:
- cleaning agents containing soda,
alkalines, ammonia, acids or
chlorides
- cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
- stain and rust removers
- abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
- solvent-based cleaning agents
- dishwasher cleaner
- oven sprays
- glass cleaning agents
Food boiling over can cause
discoloration of the burner
components.
Remove any soiling and salt and
sugar splashes immediately.
When a control knob is pressed
down, a spark is generated on the
ignitor. Do not press down the
control knob while you are cleaning
or touching the hob or a burner in the
vicinity of an ignitor.
Allow the SmartLine element to cool
down before cleaning.
28
- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges

have been previously used and still
contain abrasive cleaning agents
- melamine eraser blocks
Cleaning and care
Ceramic surface
Risk of damage by pointed
objects.
The seal between the SmartLine
element and the worktop could
suffer damage.
Do not use pointed objects for
cleaning.
Not all soiling and residues can be
removed using a solution of
washing-up liquid.
An invisible film can develop that can
lead to discolouration of the glass
ceramic surface. This discolouration
cannot be removed.
Clean the ceramic surface regularly
with a proprietary ceramic glass
cleaning agent.
Remove any coarse soiling with a
damp cloth and more stubborn
soiling with a shielded scraper blade
suitable for use on glass.
Then clean the ceramic glass surface
with the Miele ceramic and stainless
steel hob cleaner (see “optional
accessories”) or with a proprietary
ceramic glass cleaner applied with
kitchen paper or a clean cloth. Do not
apply the cleaner while the hob is still
hot, as this can result in marking.
Please follow the cleaning agent
manufacturer's instructions.
Residues can burn onto the hob the
next time it is used and cause damage
to the glass ceramic surface. Ensure
that all cleaning agent residues are
removed.
Spots caused by limescale, water
and aluminium residues (spots with a
metallic appearance) can be removed
using Miele's ceramic and stainless
steel hob cleaner.
Danger of burning due to hot
surfaces.
The surfaces get hot during cooking.
Wear oven gloves when removing
residues of sugar, plastic or
aluminium foil from a hot ceramic
surface with a shielded scraper
blade.
Should any sugar, plastic or
aluminium foil spill or fall onto the
hot ceramic surface while it is in use,
switch off the cooking zone.
Then carefully scrape off these
residues immediately whilst they are
still hot, using a scraper blade
suitable for use on glass.
Afterwards, clean the ceramic surface
in its cooled state, as described
above.
Finally wipe the glass ceramic surface
with a damp cloth and polish with a
soft, dry cloth.
29
Cleaning and care
Rotary controls

applied with a soft sponge. Stubborn
soiling should be soaked first.
After cleaning, dry the pan supports
thoroughly with a clean cloth.
30
Burner
Do not clean any parts of the burners
in a dishwasher.
The surface of the burner cap will
become duller with time. This is
completely normal and does not
indicate material deterioration.
The burner should be dismantled and
then cleaned by hand using a
solution of warm water and a little
washing-up liquid applied with a soft
sponge.
Clean any soiling from the flame
openings.
Cleaning and care
Danger of explosion.
Blocked flame openings can cause a
dangerous build-up of gas in the
base of the hob which could ignite
and cause an explosion. This can
lead to damage to the appliance and
injury.
Ensure the flame openings are kept
clean at all times.
Parts of the burner that cannot be
removed should be wiped clean with
a damp cloth only.
The ignitor and thermocouple should
be very carefully wiped clean using a
well wrung-out cloth.
The ignitor must not get wet,
otherwise it will not spark.
Finally dry everything thoroughly with
a clean cloth. Make sure that the
flame openings are completely dry.
Place the burner head onto the
burner base so that the
thermocouple and the ignition
electrode extend through their
respective holes in the burner head.
The burner head must click into place
correctly.
Place the burner cap flat over the
burner head. When correctly
positioned, the burner cap will not
slide about.

Safety distance when installing the appliance near a wall with additional
niche cladding
If a niche cladding is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained
between the worktop cut-out and the cladding, since high temperatures can
damage these materials.
If the niche cladding is made from a combustible material (e.g. wood) a minimum
safety distance of 50mm must be maintained between the worktop cut-out and
the cladding.
If the niche cladding is made from a non-combustible material (e.g. metal, natural
stone, ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance between the worktop cut-out
and the cladding will be 50mm less the thickness of the cladding.
Example: 15mm niche cladding
50mm - 15mm = minimum safety distance of 35mm

Sealing between the SmartLine
Element and the worktop
The SmartLine element and worktop
may be damaged if the element
needs to be removed after it has
been sealed with a sealant.
Do not use any sealant between the
SmartLine element and the worktop.
The seal under the edge of the top
part of the appliance provides a
sufficient seal for the worktop.
Tiled worktop
Grout lines and the hatched area
underneath the SmartLine element
frame must be smooth and even. If they
are not, the SmartLine element will not
sit flush with the worktop and the
sealing strip underneath the top part of
the appliance will not provide a good
seal between the appliance and the
worktop.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the SmartLine element
for service purposes may damage
the sealing strip underneath the edge
of the SmartLine element.
Always replace the sealing strip
before reinstalling the SmartLine
element.
