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.
10
Page 11
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.
24
Page 25
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 5-10seconds, and then let it go.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the
knob to“ ”. Ventilate the room or
wait for at least 1minute 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 5-10seconds 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.
29
Page 30
Cleaning and care
Grates
Do not clean the grates in a dishwasher.
Remove the grates.
Clean the grates with a soft sponge,
warm water and a small amount of
liquid dish soap. Soften any stubborn
soiling beforehand.
Dry the the grates 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 discolored if they are not cleaned regularly.
Clean the knobs with a soft sponge,
warm water and a small amount of
liquid dish soap.

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" (300mm) 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

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.

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" (50mm).
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” (50mm) - ⁹/₁₆“ (15mm) = minimum safety distance 1⁷/₁₆” (35mm).

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/ 4mm),
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.
