10
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for some
time after being switched off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a
possibility that it could still be hot.
Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects left near the appliance could catch
fire.
Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite, do not
attempt to put the flames out with water.
Switch off the cooktop and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid,
damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
Flames could set the grease filters of a rangehood on fire. Do not
flambé under a rangehood.
DO NOT USE OR STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN THE
APPLIANCE STORAGE DRAWER OR NEAR THIS APPLIANCE.
CUTLERY INSERTS MUST BE HEAT-RESISTANT.
DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS
APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION.
Do not heat an empty pan.
Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the cooktop, as pressure can build up in the containers, causing
them to explode.
Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth or
protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the
cooktop is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of
any metal items left on the appliance heating up, with the danger of
burning. Depending on the material, other items left on the appliance
could also melt or catch fire. Do not use the appliance as a resting
place. Switch the appliance off after use.
You could burn yourself on the hot appliance. 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 mixer,
near the cooktop, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance
cannot come into contact with the hot cooktop. The insulation on the
cable could become damaged.
Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the cooktop.
If a rangehood is installed above the cooktop, ensure that the
burners are always covered with a pan when in use. Otherwise
flames could reach the rangehood, parts of which could then be
damaged or even set on fire.
Switch the burner off when a pan is removed, even for a short
time.
Make sure all the components of the gas burner have been
correctly assembled before switching on.
12
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 cooktop. 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 cooktop, and never
heat up empty pans as they could get damaged. This could also
damage the appliance.
The pan supports 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 cooktop.
Remove all grease spatters and other combustible (food) residues
from the cooktop as soon possible. They are a fire hazard.
Avoid allowing liquids or foods containing salt to spill onto the
cooktop. If salty foods or liquids do get on the cooktop, they should
be removed as soon as possible to avoid the risk of corrosion.
The use of the gas cooktop creates heat, moisture and
combustion products in the room where it is installed. Make sure
that the appliance is installed in a location with sufficient ventilation.
Natural ventilation openings should not be blocked. Alternatively, a
mechanical ventilation device (e.g. a rangehood) can be installed.
If the cooktop 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 rangehood 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 appliance.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
If the appliance 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.
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
14
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally 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. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

with a rounded base.
Overview
19
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, data plate,
warranty" section of this booklet.
Alternatively, the additional label can
be stuck near the appliance if the
appliance markings are not visible
after installation.
Remove any protective wrapping and
stickers (but not the data plate).
Cleaning the cooktop for the first time
Before using for the first time, clean
the cooktop with a damp cloth only
and then wipe dry.
Clean all removable parts of the
burner(s) 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 Burners").
Switching on the cooktop for the first time
The metal components have a
protective coating which when heated
for the first time will give off a slight
smell and possibly some vapours.
The smell and any vapours given off do
not indicate a faulty connection or
appliance and they are not hazardous
to health.

– Select cookware that fits the size of
the burner:
Large diameter = large burner
Small diameter = small burner
– Refer to the chart above and ensure
that the pan diameter falls within the
minimum and maximum diameters
given for the burner you are using. 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 cooktop or other
appliances. Pans which are too small
for the pan supports, or pans which
do not sit securely on the pan
supports, are dangerous and should
not be used.
The correct size of pan improves
cooking efficiency.
– Unlike pans that are used on an
electric cooktop, the bottom of pans
used on a gas cooktop do not have
to be flat to deliver good cooking
results.
– Remember when purchasing new
pans that manufacturers usually refer
to the diameter at the top of the pan
in their documentation.
– Any heat-resistant pans can be used
on a gas burner.
– Pans with thick bases are preferable
as these distribute heat more evenly.
With thin bases, there is a danger of
food overheating in places. Stir the
food frequently.
– Always place cookware on the pan
support supplied with the appliance.
Never place it directly on the burner.
– Position the pan centrally on the pan
support so that it sits securely and
cannot tip. A little movement is quite
normal and not a cause for concern.
– Do not use pots or pans with base
supports.
21
Pans
Wok ring
Use the wok ring supplied to give
additional stability to pans, especially
to woks with a rounded base.
Place the wok ring on the pan
support so that it sits securely in
position and cannot move (see
diagram).
The wok is unique among cookware in
that it has a small base diameter and a
large rim diameter (usually 35-40cm).
Woks are ideal for use on the wok
burner.
22
– Use a pan lid whenever possible to
minimise 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 power setting 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.
Tips on saving energy
23
Operation
Fire hazard!
Do not leave the cooktop unattended
whilst it is being used.
Switching on
The control for the burner required
must be pressed in and turned anticlockwise to the large flame symbol
to switch on. The ignitor will "click"
and ignite the gas.
When a control knob is activated, a
spark is generated on all burners. This
is normal and does not indicate a
fault.
When a flame is visible, keep the
control knob pressed in for
5-10seconds, and then let it go.
If the burner does not ignite or goes
out, turn the control knob back to "".
Aerate the room or wait at least one
minute before trying again. Try
keeping the control knob pressed in
for a little longer the next time.
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.
If the burner does not ignite the
second time, turn the control knob
back to "" and see "Problem solving
guide".
24
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 control clockwise to position
"".
This stops the flow of gas and the flame
goes out.
25
Safety features
Thermo-electric ignition
This appliance has a thermo-electric
ignition safety device. If the flame goes
out, for example if food has boiled over
or if there is a sudden draught, and
automatic re-ignition has been
unsuccessful, the supply of gas to the
burner will be cut off. This will prevent
any gas escaping. To use the burner
again, turn the control knob to "".
The safety switch-off operates
independently from the electricity
supply. This means that it will still
work if the cooktop is used during a
power cut.
26
Cleaning and care
Danger of burning!
The burners must be switched off.
The cooktop needs to cool down.
Danger of injury!
The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance could reach electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the cooktop.
The use of unsuitable cleaning
agents can cause the surfaces to
discolour or alter.
The external surfaces of this
appliance are all susceptible to
scratching.
Remove any cleaning agent residues
immediately.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your
appliance, do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
alkalines, ammonia, acids or
chlorides,
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners,
– solvent-based cleaning agents,
– dishwasher cleaner,
– grill and oven cleaners,
– glass cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scourers, or sponges which
have been previously used with
abrasive cleaning agents,
– dirt erasers.
27
Cleaning and care
The surfaces of the burner
components and pan supports will
become more matt with time. This is
completely normal and does not
indicate damage to the material.
The cooktop should be cleaned after
each use.
Stubborn soiling should be soaked
first.
Dry the cooktop after using water to
clean it. This helps prevent lime
deposits.
Useful tip: Food that has boiled over
onto a hot cooktop can result in
discolouration on the burner
components. Immediately remove all
spilled food and all salt or sugar
splatters.
Stainless steel surfaces
Do not clean the area between the
cooktop and the worktop with sharp,
pointed objects.
This could damage the seals.
Clean stainless steel surfaces with a
solution of warm water and a small
amount of washing-up liquid applied
with a soft sponge. In the case of
stubborn dried-on soiling, soak first.
If necessary, the rough side of a nonscouring sponge can be used.
Finally, dry with a clean soft cloth.
Useful tip: The Miele care product for
stainless steel can be used after
cleaning to help keep your appliance
looking good (see "Optional
accessories"). Apply sparingly with a
soft cloth following the instructions on
the packaging.
Soiling, particularly salty food or
liquid and olive oil, can cause
damage if left on the printed surfaces
for a long time.
Remove any soiling which comes
into contact with the printed flame
symbols straight away.
Stainless steel cleaning agents rub
off the printed symbols.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on printed symbols.
28
Cleaning and care
Pan supports
Do not clean the pan supports in a
dishwasher.
Remove the pan supports.
Clean the pan supports with a
solution of warm water and a little
washing-up liquid applied with a soft
sponge. Stubborn soiling should be
soaked first.
After cleaning, dry the pan supports
thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Control knobs
The control knobs are not
dishwasher safe.
The control knobs should only be
cleaned by hand.
The control knobs may become
discoloured if they are not cleaned
regularly.
Clean the controls using a solution of
warm water and a little washing-up
liquid applied with a soft sponge.
Burner
Do not clean any parts of the burner
in a dishwasher.
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.
Parts of the burner that cannot be
removed should be wiped clean with
a damp cloth only.
The ignitor and ignition safety device
should be very carefully wiped clean
using a well wrung out cloth.
Do not let the ignitor get wet. If it gets
wet, it will not spark.
After cleaning, dry all surfaces with a
clean cloth. Make sure that the flame
slits are clean and completely dry.
The surfaces of the burner caps will
become more matt with time. This is
quite normal and does not indicate
damage to the burner caps. Nor will it
affect the operation of the cooktop.
29
Cleaning and care
Assembling the auxiliary, normal and fast burners
Place the burner head onto the
burner base so that the ignition
safety device, the ignitor and
the retaining pins fit into their
respective holes in the burner head.
Position the burner cap onto the
burner head so that the retaining
pins fit into their respective recesses.
Gently twist the burner cap clockwise
or anti-clockwise until it locks into
position. When correctly positioned,
the burner cap will not slide about.

Safety instructions for installation
Fit the wall units and rangehood before fitting the cooktop to avoid damaging
the cooktop.
The veneer or laminate coatings of worktops (or adjacent kitchen
units) must be treated with 100°C heat-resistant adhesive which will
not dissolve or distort. Any splashbacks must be of heat-resistant
material as well.
The cooktop must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer,
freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.
A gas cooktop must not be installed directly next to a deep fat
fryer as the gas flames could ignite the fat in the fryer. It is essential
to maintain a distance of at least 300mm between these two
appliances.
When installing the cooktop, make sure that the gas hose and
electrical connection cable cannot come into contact with hot
appliance parts.
The electrical cable and any flexible gas connection pipes must be
installed in such a way so that they do not come into contact with
any moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer), and cannot become
trapped.
Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the following
pages.
All dimensions in this instruction booklet are given in mm.
34
Safety distance above the cooktop
A minimum safety distance must be
maintained between the cooktop and
the rangehood above it. See the
rangehood manufacturer's operating
and installation instructions for details.
If the manufacturer's instructions are
not available for the rangehood, a
minimum safety distance as per AS/
NZS 5601.1 must be maintained.
Safety distances
For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil
rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety
distance of 600mm must be
maintained between these objects and
the highest part of the cooktop below.
When two or more appliances which
have different safety distances are
installed together below a

greatest safety distance.
35
Safety distances
Safety distances to the sides and back of the appliance
Ideally the appliance should be installed
with plenty of space on either side.
There may be a wall at the rear and a
tall unit or wall on one side (right or left).
On the other side, however, no tall unit
or wall should stand higher than the
appliance. Before installing the
appliance, check that the location
provides the required clearances from
combustible material and, if necessary,
provide protection to adjacent surfaces
as required by regulations.

Not recommended
Safety distances
A gas appliance shall be installed such
that the surface temperature of any
nearby combustible surface* will not
exceed 65°C above ambient.
The minimum clearance from a
combustible surface shall be a 200mm
horizontal distance from the periphery
of any gas burner (AS/NZS 5601.1).
If that horizontal clearance is less than
200mm, that vertical surface must be
protected by a non-combustible
material for 150mm above the cooktop
surface across the entire length (depth,
width).
The shown area indicates the protected
surface, which may be ceramic tiles or
other approved material.
Clearance underneath the appliance
A minimum safety clearance of 30mm
must be provided underneath the
appliance.
Please note that clearance must also be
provided for the installation of the
flexible gas connection hose and mains
electrical cable if the appliance is to be
installed above a closed surface (e.g.
an oven).
*Combustible surface:
A material which will ignite and burn,
and includes material which has been
flameproofed.

Installation notes
Seal between the cooktop and the worktop
Do not use sealant between the
cooktop and the worktop. This could
result in damage to the cooktop or
the worktop if the cooktop ever
needs to be removed for servicing.
The sealing strip 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 cooktop frame must be
smooth and even. If they are not, the
cooktop will not sit flush with the
worktop and the sealing strip
underneath the cooktop will not provide
a good seal between the cooktop and
the worktop.

Installation
Preparing the worktop
Make the worktop cut-out as shown
in the building-in diagram. Observe
the safety distances (see "Safety
distances").
Seal the cut surfaces on wooden
worktops with a suitable sealant to
avoid swelling caused by moisture.
The sealant must be heat-resistant.
Make sure the sealant does not
come into contact with the top
surface of the worktop.
The seal underneath the cooktop will
hold it securely in the cut-out. Any gap
between the frame and worktop will
reduce with time.
Installing the cooktop
Feed the mains connection cable
down through the cut-out.
Place the cooktop unfastened in the
cut-out. When doing this, make sure
that the seal under the cooktop sits
flush with the worktop on all sides.
This is important to ensure an
effective seal all round.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone).
If the seal does not meet the worktop
correctly on the corners, the corner
radii (≤R4) can be carefully scribed to
suit.
Connect the cooktop to the mains
electricity supply.
Connect the cooktop to the gas
supply (see "Gas connection").
41
Installation
Securing the cooktop
Secure the cooktop using the
brackets supplied.
Checking operation
After installing the cooktop, ignite all
burners to check that they are
operating correctly:
– The flame must not go out on the
lowest setting, or when the control is
turned quickly from the highest to the
lowest setting.
– On the highest setting, the flame
must have a distinctive and visible
core.
42
Electrical connection
All electrical work must be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
local and national safety regulations.
Connection must be made via a
switched socket. This will make it easier
for service technicians should the
appliance need to be repaired. The
electrical socket must be easily
accessible after installation.
Danger of injury!
Miele cannot be held liable for
unauthorised installation,
maintenance and repair work as this
can be dangerous to users.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage or injury caused by incorrect
installation, maintenance or repair
work, or by an inadequate or faulty
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
If the plug has been removed or the
connection cable is not supplied with
a plug, the cooktop must be
connected to the mains supply by a
suitably qualified electrician.
If the appliance is to be hard-wired,
an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for
all poles in accordance with the
wiring rules. When switched off,
there must be an all-pole contact
gap of at least 3mm in the switch
(including switch, fuses and relays).
Connection data is shown on the
data plate. It must match the mains
electrical supply.
After installation, ensure that all
electrical components are shielded
and cannot be accessed by users.

conversion from one type of gas to
another should only be undertaken
by an approved gas fitter, who is
responsible for correct functioning of
the appliance when installed. Every
appliance should have its own
isolating valve.
The gas connection must be
installed so that connection can be
made either from inside or outside
the kitchen unit, and the isolating
valve must be easily accessible and
visible (by opening one of the kitchen
unit doors, if necessary).
Check with your local gas supplier
about the type of gas and its calorific
value, and compare this information
with the type of gas quoted on the
appliance data plate.
