while the hob is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the
closed door. This can result in damage to the hob, the housing unit
and the floor. Leave the furniture door open until the hob has cooled
down completely.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
The hob gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time after
being switched off. Do not touch the hob if there is a possibility that
it could still be hot.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the hob
when it is in use could catch fire.
Do not use the hob to heat up the room.
Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the hob
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not
attempt to put the flames out with water.
Disconnect the hob from the mains and use a suitable fire blanket,
saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used. It should
be continually monitored whilst boiling and flash frying.
Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do
not flambé under a cooker hood.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
Do not heat an empty pan.
Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the hob, as pressure can build up in the container, causing it to
explode.
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.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
Pans must be the correct size for the burner they are used on (see
“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.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Avoid allowing liquids or foods containing salt to spill onto the
hob. If salty foods or liquids do get on the hob, they should be
removed as soon as possible to avoid the risk of corrosion.
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
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this hob.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
15
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

21
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 hob for the first
time
Before using for the first time, clean
the hob with a damp cloth only and
then wipe dry.
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”).
Switching on the hob 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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
23
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).
Wok pans are ideal for use on the wok
burner.
24
- 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.
Tips on saving energy
25
Operation
Risk of fire with overheated food.
Unattended food can overheat and
catch alight.
Do not leave the hob unattended
whilst it is being used.
Switching on
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.
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.
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 rotary control
back to the position and see
“Problem solving guide”.
26
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.
Wok burner
Depending on the type of control knob,
there may be a stopper between the
low and high settings at the 6 o'clock
position.
Switching off
Turn the rotary control clockwise to
the position.
The gas supply is cut off and the flame
goes out.
Press the control knob down lightly to
move past this resistance.
27
Safety features
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.
28
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.
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
- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g. pot scourers), or sponges which
have been previously used and still
contain abrasive cleaning agents
- melamine eraser blocks
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.
29
Cleaning and care
The entire hob should be cleaned
after each use.
Soften any stubborn soiling
beforehand.
Dry the hob thoroughly after every
damp cleaning to avoid limescale
residue.
Stainless steel trough
Risk of damage by pointed
objects.
The seal between the hob and the
worktop could suffer damage.
Do not use pointed objects for
cleaning.
Damage caused by soiling.
Soiling, particularly salty food or
liquid and olive oil, can cause
damage if left on the printed surfaces
for a long time.
Remove such soiling immediately.
Damage caused by incorrect
cleaning.
Stainless steel cleaning agents rub
off the printed symbols.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on printed symbols.
Pan supports
Remove the pan supports.
Clean the pan supports in the
dishwasher or 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 rotary controls can become
discoloured if they are not cleaned
regularly.
Clean the control knobs after each
use.
Clean the control knobs using a
solution of warm water and a little
washing-up liquid applied with a soft
sponge.
Clean stainless steel surfaces using a
solution of warm water and a little
washing-up liquid applied with a soft
sponge. Soften any stubborn soiling
beforehand. If necessary, the rough
side of a non-scouring sponge can
be used.
Finally, dry with a clean soft cloth.
30
Cleaning and care
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.
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.
The burner cap has a PerfectClean
treated surface with excellent nonstick properties which make cleaning
easier.
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.
31
Cleaning and care
Assembling the small, medium and
large burners
Place the burner head onto the
burner base so that the
thermocouple, 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.
Ensure parts are reassembled in the
correct order.
Assembling the wok burner
Place the burner head on the
burner base so that the holes fit
over the jets in the burner base and
the locating bar sits in the notch. If
the burner head is in the correct
position, it will not move about.
Replace the burner ring so that the
notches are in line above each other.
32
Replace the burner cap.
Ensure parts are reassembled in the
correct order.

Safety distance when installing the appliance near a wall with additional
niche cladding
A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the worktop cut-out and
any niche cladding to protect it from heat damage.
If the niche cladding is made from a combustible material (e.g. wood) a minimum
safety distance of 50 mm must be maintained between the 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 cut-out and the
cladding will be 50 mm less the thickness of the cladding.
Example: 15 mm niche cladding
50mm - 15mm = minimum safety distance of 35mm

Installation notes
Seal between the hob and the
worktop
Damage caused by incorrect
installation.
Using sealant under the hob could
result in damage to the hob and the
worktop if the hob ever needs to be
removed for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the hob
and the worktop.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the hob provides a sufficient seal for
the worktop.
Tiled worktops
Grout lines and the hatched area
underneath the hob frame must be
smooth and even. If they are not the
hob will not sit flush with the worktop
and the sealing strip underneath the
hob will not provide a good seal
between the hob and the worktop.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the hob for service
purposes may damage the sealing
strip underneath the edge of the hob.
Always replace the sealing strip
before reinstalling the hob.

Installation
Preparing the worktop
Create the worktop cut-out as shown
in the hob diagram. Remember to
maintain the minimum safety
distances (see “Installation – Safety
distances”).
Seal any cut surfaces on wooden
worktops with a special varnish,
silicone sealant or resin to prevent the
wood from swelling as a result of
moisture ingress. The sealant must
be heat-resistant.
Make sure that the sealant does not
come into contact with the top of the
worktop.
The seal under the appliance ensures
that the hob will sit securely in the cutout without slipping. Any gap between
the appliance frame and worktop will
become smaller over time.
Installing the hob
Stick the supplied sealing strip under
the edge of the hob.
Feed the power cable for the hob
down through the worktop cut-out.
Place the hob loosely in the cut-out.
When doing this, make sure that the
seal of the appliance sits flush with
the worktop on all sides. This is
important to ensure an effective seal
all round.
If the seal does not sit flush with the
worktop in the corners, the corner
radius (≤R4) can be carefully cut to fit
using a jigsaw.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone) on the hob.
Connect the hob to the electricity
supply (see “Installation – Electrical
connection”).
Connect the hob to the gas supply
(see “Installation – Gas connection”).

Functional check
After installing the hob, 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.

Gas connection
Risk of explosion due to an
incorrect gas connection.
If the gas connection is carried out
incorrectly, it may result in gas
leakage.
Connection to the gas supply must
only be undertaken by an approved
and registered gas installer in strict
accordance with current local and
national safety and building
regulations. The installer is
responsible for ensuring that the
appliance functions correctly when
installed.
Risk of explosion due to an
incorrect conversion.
If the conversion to another type of
gas is carried out incorrectly, it may
result in gas leakage.
