Use the template to make a

^

countertop cut-out.
Be sure to observe the minimum
distance from the rear wall and from
the left or right to a side wall.
See the section on "SAFETY
NOTICES FOR INSTALLATION".

Seal any wooden countertop

^

surfaces with a special varnish,
silicone rubber, or resin, to help
prevent swelling from moisture.

31

General installation information

Sealing

NEVER use sealing unless it is explicitly
called for in the instructions. The
sealing strip under the edge of the
upper part of the appliance provides a
sufficient seal against the countertop.

NEVER use sealing between the
upper appliance frame and the
countertop!
It will hinder access to the appliance
during servicing, and the frame and
countertop can be damaged as a
result.

Tiled surfaces

The grouting a and shaded area under
the cooktop frame must be flat and
even, so that the frame will lie evenly
and the sealing strip under the edge of
the upper part of the appliance can
provide an adequate seal against the
countertop.

32

Electrical connection

This appliance must be grounded
according to local or national codes.

All electrical work should be
performed by a qualified electrician
in accordance with local codes and
with the:

- National Electrical Code

ANSI / NFPA 70

or

- Canadian Electrical Code Part I

for Canada
(CSA Standard C 22.1)

WARNING

,

Disconnect the appliance from the
main power supply before
installation or service. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, make sure that
the appliance is properly grounded
after installation.

Power supply

The automatic ignition requires that the
appliance be connected to a 120 VAC,
60 Hz power supply. The supply line
should be protected by a 15 A fuse.

This appliance is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug to
prevent shock hazards. It should be
plugged directly into a properly
grounded outlet. Do not cut or
remove the grounding prong from
the plug. If the plug does not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a licensed electrician.

To guarantee the electrical safety of
this appliance, continuity must exist
between the appliance and an
effective grounding system. It is
imperative that this basic safety
requirement be met. If there is any
doubt, have the electrical system of
the house checked by a qualified
electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damages caused by
the lack, or inadequacy, of an
effective grounding system.

Note to the installer

Please leave these instructions with the
consumer or the appliance.

Actual power consumption (during
ignition only) is 25 W.

This appliance is equipped with a
78 3/4" (2000 mm) long power cord that
is ready for connection to the
appropriate outlet.

Place the power outlet so that it is
accessible after the appliance has
been installed in the countertop.

33

Gas connection

Installation and service must be
performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.

This appliance must be installed
with its own shut off valve and the
included gas pressure regulator.
Both the valve and the regulator
must be easily accessible to the
consumer to turn on or shut off the
gas supply after the appliance is
installed.

This appliance and its individual
shut off valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply during any
pressure testing performed in
excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa), or
isolated from the gas line by closing
its individual manual shut off valve at
test pressures equal to or less than
½ psi (3.5 kPa).

Any pipe connections must be made
using a thread sealant approved for
gas connections. Failure to correctly
install these items could lead to a
gas leak and subsequent explosion.

The gas connection must be made
in accordance with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with

- the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54
for the USA

or

- the current Can/CGA B 149.1
and .2 Installation Codes for gas
burning appliances for Canada.

Make sure that the maximum gas
supply pressure before the gas
pressure regulator is never more than
½ psi for both natural gas or LP gas.

The minimum supply pressure to get
the required gas input is
4" w.c. for natural gas:
10" w.c. for LP gas.

Leak testing of the appliance shall
be conducted according to the
manufacturer's instructions.

LP gas - 10" w.c.

a Appliance

b ½" NPT

c Regulator

For convenience, an AGA or CGA
approved flexible stainless steel gas
hose (accordion type) may be used
between the gas connection and the
regulator. This will allow the appliance
to be lifted out of the countertop for
cleaning or servicing. Make sure that
any drawers, cabinet doors, etc., do not
rub on this gas hose.

Do not use any regulator unless it
has been supplied by Miele. Doing
so may cause a gas leak.

If there is any doubt concerning
installation contact the Miele Technical
Service Department.

After connecting the appliance check
all fittings for gas leaks e.g. with
soapy water.

When installed properly, the flame will
be steady and quiet. It will also have a
sharp, blue inner core that will vary in
length proportional to the burner size.
Flame adjustment will not be
necessary.

As shown in the above diagram, the
included regulator must be used when
connecting the Miele appliance to your
gas supply. This item has been
customized by Miele to meet all
applicable safety requirements. Make
sure the regulator is easily accessible
for adjustment after the appliance has
been installed.

35

Gas connection

The appliance should have been
ordered for connection to either natural
gas or LP gas (propane).

If the appliance is not configured for the
proper type of gas connection please
contact your Miele Dealer.

If the appliance is to be connected to a
type of gas other than it was originally
configured for, both the regulator and
burners must be converted. A
conversion kit is available as an
optional accessory from the Miele
Technical Service Department.
