IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and re­pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.
Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so. Service work may only be performed by a qualified technician.
Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the
cooktop for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is damaged.
Reliable and safe operation of the cooktop can only be guaran-
teed if it is connected to the public power supply.
Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. 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.
Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been in-
stalled correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified techni­cian.
To avoid damaging the cooktop, make sure that the connection
data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the building's power supply before connecting the appliance. When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a power
bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
For safety reasons, the cooktop may only be used when it has
been fully installed.

Page 10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the appliance
must be completely disconnected from the household electricity supply. The gas supply must be shut off. Ensure that this is the case by:
– removing the fuse – “tripping” the circuit breaker, or – unplugging the unit. Pull the plug not the cord. – Shut off the gas supply.
Danger of electric shock.
If the cooktop is defective, immediately turn the appliance off and discontinue use. Disconnect it from the electricity and gas supply. Contact Technical Service.
If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the
door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build up behind the closed door and cause damage to the cooktop, cabi­netry and flooring. Do not close the door until the cooktop has com­pletely cooled down.
Reaching over a hot stovetop to access the cabinets can result in
burns. You can reduce the risk of burns by installing a range hood that extends at least 4¾" (12cm) past the bottom of the cabinets.
Ask your installer to show you the location of your gas shutoff
valve and fuses or circuit breaker panel in your apartment or home. Be sure that you know how and where to disconnect the gas and power supply to your cooktop.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct use

The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time
after being turned off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a possi­bility that it could still be hot.
When in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat,
which can cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire. Never use the cooktop to heat the room.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking on high
power. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter, which can ignite on the cooktop.
Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water. Turn off the cooktop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable fire blanket.
Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing
agent or foam fire extinguisher.
The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire.
Do not flambé under a ventilation 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 appliance. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resis­tant.
Never heat empty cookware.Do not heat or can food in closed containers, such as tins or
sealed jars, on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the container and cause it to explode.
11
Page 12
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the
cover will ignite, explode or melt if the cooktop is still hot or if turned on inadvertently. Never cover the cooktop with a board, cloth or pro­tective sheet.
When the appliance is turned on inadvertently or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present, there is a risk of the metal items heating up. Other materials can melt or catch fire when the appliance is switched on. Do not store items on the cooktop.
You can burn yourself on a hot cooktop. When cooking on the ap-
pliance, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders or oven mitts. Only use dry pot holders or gloves. Wet or damp textiles conduct heat more effectively and produce steam, which poses a burn hazard. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the gas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, dish towels or other similar materials.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near the
cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into con­tact with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation could become dam­aged.
Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high tem-
peratures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum foil cookware.
A range hood installed above the cooktop can become damaged
or catch fire as a result of intense heat. Do not use the gas burners without cookware.
Only light the gas burners after all burner parts have been properly
assembled.
If the cookware is too small, it will not sit properly on the burner
grate. If the cookware is too large, heat emitted from the bottom of the cookware may damage the countertop, walls with poor heat-re­sistance (e.g. paneled walls) or portions of the cooktop.
Make sure that the burner flames do not extend beyond the bot-
tom of the cookware and rise up its sides.
12
Page 13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Only use cookware with a thick enough bottom. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the cooktop.
Always use the burner grates supplied with the cooktop. Never
place cookware directly on the burner.
Install the burner grates in an upright position to avoid scratching
the cooktop.
Storage in or on the appliance: Flammable materials should not be
stored in an oven or in the vicinity of the cooktop.
Remove all grease splatters and other flammable (food) residues
on the cooktop. 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.
Using of a gas cooktop causes heat, moisture and products of
combustion to build up in the room in which it is installed. Make sure that your kitchen is well ventilated, especially when the appliance is in use: keep any natural means of ventilation open or install a me­chanical ventilation system (e.g. a ventilation hood).
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 ventilation on the highest setting.
Do not use pots or pans that are large enough to cover several
burners. The resulting heat buildup can damage the appliance.
If the cooktop has not been used for a long period of time, be sure
to thoroughly clean it and have it inspected by an authorized techni­cian before using it again.
Ensure that the igniters are clean and dry to allow the burners to
ignite and burn properly.
13
Page 14
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Fire hazard! Loose-fitting or hanging garments can catch fire. Be
sure to wear appropriately fitting clothing when cooking. Never allow loose clothing or flammable materials to come into contact with the burners while the burners are in use.
When you have finished cooking, make sure that the burners are
turned off by checking the position of the knobs.
The grates, burner cap, bottom parts of the burner, and any other
parts located near the burner flame, can still be very hot after cook­ing and cause burns. Do not touch these components when using the cooktop.
Wind can blow curtains over the cooktop, causing them to catch
fire. If the cooktop is installed near a window, do not use long cur­tains.
Only certain types of glass, ceramic or other enamel cookware
can be used on a gas cooktop without breaking as a result of sud­den temperature changes.
Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if they
are used to wipe spilled food off a hot burner. Some cleansers can emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be careful when cleaning the cooktop.

Overview

Included accessories

The accessories supplied with your ap­pliance, as well as a range of optional ones, are available to order from Miele (see “Optional accessories”).

Wok ring

The Wok ring supplied with your appli­ance can be used in instances where extra stability is required. It is particu­larly suitable for wok pans with rounded bases.
20
Page 21

Before first use

Please adhere the extra appliance
data plate (supplied) in the space pro­vided in the “After sales service” sec­tion of this manual.
Remove any protective foil and stick-
ers.

Cleaning the cooktop for the first time

Before first use, wipe down the appli-
ance with a damp cloth and dry it.
Using a soft sponge, clean all remov-
able burner parts with a solution of warm water and a small amount of liquid dish soap. Dry the parts thor­oughly after cleaning and reassemble the burners (see “Cleaning and care”).

Turning on the cooktop for the first time

Metal components are protected by a conditioning agent. Smells and vapor may occur when the appliance is used for the first time.
The smell and any vapors do not indi­cate a faulty connection or a defective appliance and are not harmful to your health.
21
Page 22

Cookware

– Select cookware that fits the size of
the burner: Large diameter = large burner Small diameter = small burner
– Using cookware that is too large can
cause the flames to spread out and damage the surrounding countertop or other appliances. Choosing the right cookware size improves effi­ciency.
– Any cookware that has a diameter
smaller than the burner grate or which does not rest in a stable posi­tion on the grate (without wobbling) is dangerous and should not be used.
– Unlike cookware that is used on an
electric cooktop, the bottom of cook­ware used on a cooktop does not have to be flat to deliver effective cooking performance.
– When purchasing pots and pans,
keep in mind that the diameter indi­cated is typically the top diameter, not the bottom diameter.
– Do not use pots or pans that have
bottoms with pronounced edges.
– All heat-resistant cookware is suitable
for use.
– Cookware with a thick bottom is
preferable, as it distributes heat more evenly. Cookware with a thin bottom may cause food to overheat in certain spots. To avoid this, stir the food fre­quently.
– Always place the cookware on the
pot rests supplied. Do not place cookware directly on the burners.
– Position the cookware on the burner
grate so that it cannot tip. There is al­ways a possibility of a slight tilt, de­spite the proper position.
22
Page 23

Wok ring

Use the wok ring supplied to give ad-
ditional stability to pans, especially to woks with a rounded base.
Place the wok ring on the pan sup-
port so that it sits securely in position and cannot move (see diagram).
The wok pan is a special piece of cook­ware. It has a small base diameter and a large upper rim diameter (usually 13¾“ - 15¾” (35-40 cm)). The wok burner is particularly suitable for wok pans.
Cookware
23
Page 24

Energy saving tips

– Whenever possible, keep pots and
pans covered while cooking. Doing so will prevent unnecessary heat loss.
– Wide, shallow cookware heats up
faster and is therefore preferable to tall, narrow cookware.
– Cook with as little water as possible.
– Reduce the power setting once the
water has come to a boil or the oil/fat is hot enough for frying.
– Use a pressure cooker to reduce the
cooking time.

Operation

Fire hazard due to overheated
food. Unattended food can overheat and
ignite. Do not leave the cooktop unattended
whilst it is being used.

Turning the appliance on

Press in the relevant control and turn
it counter-clockwise to the large flame symbol. The ignitor “clicks” and ignites the gas.
When a control knob is activated, a spark is developed automatically on all burners. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
When a flame is visible, keep the
control knob pressed in for 5-10sec­onds, and then let it go.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the
knob to“ ”. Ventilate the room or wait for at least 1minute before trying again. When making another ignition attempt, it may be necessary to hold the control knob for longer.

Switching on during a power outage

In case of a power failure, the flame can be ignited manually.
Press in the relevant control and turn
it counter-clockwise towards 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 fur-
ther 5-10seconds and then release it.
If the burner does not ignite the sec-
ond time, turn the control knob back to “ ” and see “Frequently asked questions”.
25
Page 26
Operation

Adjusting the flame

The burners can be variably adjusted between the lowest and highest flame settings.
Because the edges of the flame are much hotter than its center, the flame tips should stay beneath the bottom of the cookware. Flame tips which ex­tend beyond the sides of the cook­ware emit unnecessary heat into the room and can also damage cookware handles, which increases the risk of injury.
Adjust the flame so that it never ex-
tends up the sides of the cookware.

Turning the appliance off

Turn the control clockwise to position
”.
This stops the flow of gas and the flame goes out.
26
Page 27

Ignition safety control

Your cooktop is equipped with a thermo-electric flame failure monitor. If a gas flame is extinguished, e.g. by food boiling over or by a draft, the gas supply is switched off. This prevents the release of gas. If you turn the 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 cooktop is used during a power outage.

28
Page 29
Cleaning and care
The surfaces of the burners and pot rests will become duller in the course of time. This is quite normal and does not indicate damage to the burner cap.
The entire cooktop should be cleaned
after each use.
Soften any stubborn soiling before-
hand.
Dry the appliance after using water to
clean it. This helps prevent lime de­posits.
Tip: Food which boils over on a hot cooktop can cause discoloration of the burner components. Remove any soil­ing and salt and sugar splashes imme­diately.

Stainless steel cooktop

Do not clean the area between the cooktop and the countertop with sharp, pointed objects.
This could cause damage to the seals.
Clean the knobs with a soft sponge,
warm water and a small amount of liquid dish soap. Soften any stubborn soiling beforehand. If necessary, the rough side of a kitchen sponge can be used.
Finally, dry with a clean soft cloth.
Tip: The Miele conditioning agent for stainless steel can be used after clean­ing to help keep your appliance looking new (see “Optional accessories”). It should be applied sparingly with a soft cloth.
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION

Install the upper cabinets and venti­lation hood before installing the cooktop to avoid damaging it.
The room in which the cook-
top is installed must conform to all relevant local and national building regulations and safety regulations.
The countertop must be heat-
resistant (up to 212°F / 100°C), so that it does not become de­formed or the veneer detached. The wall strips must be heat-re­sistant as well.
The cooktop must not be in-
stalled above refrigerators/freez­ers, dishwashers, or washer/dry­ers.
A gas cooktop must not be in-
stalled 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 12" (300mm) between these two appliances.
When installing the cooktop,
make sure that the gas pipe and power cord cannot come into contact with hot appliance parts.
The power cord and any flexi-
ble 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 and inches.
The maximum depth of cabi-
nets installed above the cooktop must be no more than 13" (330mm) or a greater depth specified by the manufacturers as tested by the certification agency.
35
Page 36

Safety clearances

Safety clearance above the cooktop

For a ventilation hood above the cook­top, always use the clearance specified by the hood manufacturer. If there are no specifications from the hood manu­facturer or if flammable materials (e.g. a utensil rail) are installed above the cooktop, the clearance must be at least 760 mm).
If there is more than one appliance installed below the ventilation hood, each with a different safety clear­ance, the largest clearance must be used.

When installing a cooktop there may be an optionally high cabinet or room wall against the rear side and one of the sides (right or left) (see illustrations).
minimum distance between the back of the counter cut-out and the rear edge of the counter: 2" (50mm)
minimum distance to the right of the counter cut-out to the closest adjacent piece of furniture (for instance, a high cabinet) or a room wall: 4" (100mm)
minimum distance to the left of the counter cut-out to the closest adjacent piece of furniture (for instance, a high cabinet) or a room wall: 4" (100mm)

Safety clearances

Safety distance from the wall covering

If a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained be­tween the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures can dam­age these materials.
If the covering is made of a combustible material (such as wood), the distance be­tween the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be a minimum of 2" (50mm).
For coverings made of non-combustible materials (such as metal, marble, granite, ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be 2“ (50 mm) minus the thickness of the covering. For ex­ample: thickness of wall covering 2” (50mm) - ⁹/₁₆“ (15mm) = minimum safety dis­tance 1/₁₆” (35mm).

Instructions for installation

Seal between cooktop and counter

In case a disassembly is required, the appliance must not be perma­nently sealed into the countertop when installed. The sealing strip un­der the edge of the appliance pro­vides a sufficient seal for the coun­tertop. If the appliance is sealed into posi­tion, the countertop or appliance could be damaged if it needs to be removed for maintenance or service.

Tiled countertop

The grouting and shaded area under the appliance 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.

Installation

Preparing the countertop

Create the countertop cut-out as
shown in the cooktop diagram. Re­member to maintain the minimum safety distances (see “Safety dis­tances”).
Seal any cut surfaces on the wooden
countertop with a special varnish, sili­cone rubber, or resin to prevent the wood from swelling as a result of moisture. The sealant must be tem­perature-resistant.
Ensure that the sealant does not get on the top surface of the countertop.
The sealing strip ensures that the cooktop will sit securely in the cut-out without slipping. Any gap between the trim and countertop will become smaller over time.

Installing the cooktop

Feed the appliance power cord down
through the counter cut-out.
Place the cooktop centrally in the
cut-out. When doing this make sure that the seal of the appliance sits flush with the countertop on all sides. This is important to ensure an effec­tive seal all round.
If during installation the seal around the frame does not sit flush with the countertop in the corners, the corner radius, maximum 3/16" (R4/ 4mm), can be carefully filed down to fit.
Do not use any additional sealant (e.g. silicone).
Connect the cooktop to the electrical
power supply (see “Electrical connec­tion”).
Connect the cooktop to the gas sup-
ply (see “Gas connection”).

Securing the cooktop

Secure the cooktop using the brack-
ets supplied.

Checking for proper function

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.

ATTENTION:
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply if the plug fuses have been fully unscrewed (where applicable), the main circuit breaker has been tripped or the power cable has been unplugged from the wall outlet.
Do not cut off the plug on the power cord. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, have an electrician install an appropriate outlet.
The socket must be easily accessible after the appliance has been in­stalled.
Work by unqualified persons can cause considerable danger to users. Miele cannot be held liable for any damage arising as a result of such work.
Installation, repair and maintenance work should only be performed by a Miele authorized service technician.
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.
Installation, repair and maintenance work should only be performed by a Miele-authorized qualified electrician in compliance with local regulations and the ANSI National Electrical Code / NFPA 70 in the United States or the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I in Canada (CSA standard C22.1).
To avoid damaging the appliance, the information (voltage and fre­quency) on the data plate must cor­respond to the building's power sup­ply.
Compare these informations before connecting the appliance. When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
The plug must be inserted into a suit­able outlet that has been installed and grounded in compliance with all applicable local regulations.
