Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before installation, check the gas
~
hob for visible signs of damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance may be dangerous.
The electrical safety of this gas hob
~
can only be guaranteed if correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is observed and tested regularly, and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Before connecting the gas hob to
~

~
be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations, e.g. a Gas Safe registered technician in the U.K.
The gas hob may be connected via a fused plug and switched socket. If you wish to connect it to a fused spur connection or if the appliance is supplied without a plug, it must be installed and connected to the mains electricity supply by a suitably qualified and competent electrician in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.
Never open the outer casing of the
~
gas hob. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
12
Installation, maintenance and
~
repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
Warning and Safety instructions
During installation, maintenance and
~
repair work, the gas hob must be disconnected from the gas supply and mains electricity supply.
While the gas hob is under
~

In areas which may be subject to
~
infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the gas hob and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
The gas hob gets hot when in use
~
and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. Do not touch it whilst it could still be hot.
If a cooker hood is installed above
~
the gas 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 set on fire.
Do not leave the gas hob
~
unattended whilst it is being used. Oil and fat are potential fire hazards as they can ignite if overheated.
If oil or fat does catch fire, do not
~
attempt to put out the flames with water. Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
Do not use the gas hob to heat up
~
the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire. The life of the appliance could also be reduced.
Do not flambé under a cooker hood.
~
The flames could set the cooker hood on fire.
For added protection, it is advisable
~
to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the gas hob. Ensure that they do not come into contact with the flames. Do not use large cloths, tea towels or similar as the ends could touch the flames and catch fire. Take care not to let the gloves get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.
Do not use the gas hob as a resting
~
place for anything. The article could melt or catch fire if residual heat is still present or if the appliance is switched on by mistake.
Do not cover the gas hob with, e. g.
~
with a hob cover, a cloth or protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the appliance is switched on by mistake or if the hob is still warm.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
~
containers. These melt at high temperatures and could catch fire.
Do not heat up unopened tins of
~
food on the hob as pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode. This could result in injury and scalding or damage.
14
Make sure all the components of the
~
gas burners have been correctly assembled before switching on.
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 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.
Unless the pan manufacturer states
~
that you can do so, do not use pans with very thin bases on this gas hob, and never heat up empty pans as they could get damaged. This could damage the appliance.
The pan supports supplied must
~
always be used. Pans must not be placed directly on the burner.
Do not store any inflammable
~
objects near the gas hob.
Remove splashes of fat and other
~
food debris from the surface as soon as possible. These are a fire hazard.
Replace the pan supports carefully
~
to avoid scratching the surface of the hob.
Using a gas hob results in the
~
build-up of heat, moisture and combustion products in the room in which it is installed. To ensure that there is adequate ventilation, especially when the gas hob is in use: make sure natural ventilation to the room is not hindered or use a mechanical ventilation device (e.g. a cooker hood).
Intensive and prolonged use of the
~
gas hob may result in a requirement for additional ventilation, e.g. opening a window or a more effective form of mechanical ventilation, e.g. use of a cooker hood on a higher setting.
When using the gas hob, an
~
extractor hood or a ventilation device must be used.
When using an electrical appliance,
~
e.g. a hand-held food blender, near the gas hob, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance does not come into contact with the hot gas hob. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other
~
inflammable substances must not be stored in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
15
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use pans that are large
~
enough to cover more than one burner. The resulting build-up of heat could damage the gas hob.
Always ensure that food is
~
sufficiently cooked or reheated. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at a sufficiently high temperature for long enough. Therefore, when cooking or reheating food such as poultry, it is particularly important that the food is completely cooked through. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.
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.
If the gas hob is installed behind a
~
kitchen furniture door, it may only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the door whilst the hob is in use or whilst there is any residual heat left in the appliance.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
If the gas hob has not been used for
~
a longer period of time it should be thoroughly cleaned before it is used again. It is also advisable to have the appliance tested for safety.
16
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and should be recycled.
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.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often 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 dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
17
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.
Cleaning for the first time
Remove any protective foil and stickers.
^
Clean all removable parts of the burners with a solution of
^
warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge. Dry all parts thoroughly after cleaning and then reassemble the burners (see "Cleaning and care").
Clean the stainless steel trough with a damp cloth, and
^
then wipe dry.
Metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight smell when heated up for the first time. The smell and any vapours will dissipate after a short time, and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance.
18
Rapid ignition system
The appliance is supplied with a rapid ignition system with the following features:
After the flame is ignited, the hob control can be released
immediately.
Automatic re-ignition.
Should the flame be extinguished. e. g. by a gust of air, the burner will re-ignite automatically. If re-ignition is unsuccessful, the gas supply will be cut off automatically (see "Safety switch-off").
Controls
The controls are used to switch on the burners and regulate the strength of the flame.

19
Operation
Switching on
When using the gas hob an extractor hood or a ventilation device must be used.
The control for the burner required must be pressed in and
^
turned anti-clockwise to the largest flame symbol to switch on. The ignitor clicks, and the gas is lit.
When a control is operated, a spark is produced on all cooking zones. This is not a fault.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control to "ß". Ensure that the room is well ventilated, and wait at least 1 minute before trying again.
If the burner does not ignite the second time, turn the control to "ß", and see "Problem solving guide".
When switching on, re-ignition sometimes occurs (1-2 clicks) if the flame on the ignition safety device has gone out briefly, or if the thermal element is not hot enough, e.g. following a gust of air.
20
Regulating the flame
Regulate the flame so that it does not spread out beyond the sides of the pan. 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.
The burners can be regulated at any level between the strongest and weakest flame. Exception: The wok burner
On the wok burner there is a stopper at the 6 o'clock position to prevent you turning the control to the high or low setting unintentionally.
To move from the high to the low setting, turn the control
^
anti-clockwise until it stops. Then press it in and continue to turn it anti-clockwise past the stopper before releasing it. You can now select the setting you require.
^ To move from the low to the high setting, turn the control
clockwise until it stops. Then press it in and continue to turn it clockwise past the stopper before releasing it. You can now select the setting you require.
Operation
Switching off
^
Turn the control clockwise to position "ß".
This stops the flow of gas and the flame goes out.
Do not turn the control past the "ß" position.

– 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. 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. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for this type of damage.
22
– 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.
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.
The pan support supplied with the appliance must always be used. Never place a pan on the burner itself.
Place pans securely on the pan rest to minimise the risk of tipping.
Do not use pots or pans with convex bases.
Wok ring
Combi insert
Pans
Woks have a small base diameter and large top diameter, generally between 35 - 40 cm.
Use the wok ring supplied to give additional stability, especially to woks with a rounded base.
Make sure that the wok ring is fitted securely in the correct position. See illustration.
The combi insert must be used if you wish to use
– a pan with a smaller diameter base than the minimum
given in the table. The combi insert ensures that the pan will sit securely on the hob, and cannot tip up.
– a large pan. The combi insert will prevent damage to the
worktop, and the stainless steel trough from becoming discoloured. Refer to the information given in the table.
23
Energy saving tips
Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss.
Cook with as little water as possible.
Cooking times are greatly reduced when using a pressure
cooker.
Turn the flame down promptly to a lower setting when the
pan has come to the boil.
Wide, shallow pans are preferable to tall, narrow ones.
They will heat up faster.
24
Thermoelectric safety ignition
This appliance is fitted with a thermoelectric 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.
To use the burner again, turn the control clockwise to the
^
"ß" position, and then switch it back on as normal.
Safety switch-off
If a burner has been used for an unusually long period (approx. 4 hours), it will switch off automatically.
To use the burner again, turn the control clockwise to the
^
"ß" position, and then switch it back on as normal.

,
appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
The appliance should be cleaned regularly, preferably after each use. Let it cool down to room temperature before cleaning. To avoid water marks and limescale deposits, use a soft cloth to dry surfaces that have been cleaned with water.
Thoroughly remove salty food residues or liquids from the hob as soon as possible to avoid the risk of corrosion.
To avoid damaging the surface of your appliance, do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda, alkalines, ammonia,
acids or chlorides,
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this
26
– cleaning agents containing descaling agents,
– stain or rust removers,
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, brushes or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents,
melamine eraser blocks,
sharp pointed objects (these can damage the seal between the frame and the worktop)
Stainless steel surfaces
Clean stainless steel surfaces using an E-Cloth (see "Optional accessories") or with a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge. In the case of stubborn dried-on soiling, soak first. Finally, dry with a soft cloth.
Miele ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaning agent can be used when required (see "Optional accessories"). Apply with an even pressure following the direction of the "grain".
To help prevent re-soiling we recommend using the conditioning agent for stainless steel after cleaning (see "Optional accessories"). Apply sparingly with a soft cloth follow the instructions on the packaging.
Printed surfaces (flame symbols)
Remove any soiling which comes into contact with the printed flame symbols straight away. Soiling, particularly salty food or liquid can cause damage if left on the printed surfaces for a long time.
Cleaning and care
Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the printed flame symbols. This would rub off the print.
Pan supports, control knobs
Do not clean the pan supports in a dishwasher.
Remove the pan supports. Clean the pan supports and the control knobs with a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge. Stubborn soiling should be soaked first.
Finally dry all parts with a clean cloth.
27
Cleaning and care
Burners
Do not clean any parts of the burners in a dishwasher.
The burners 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 surface of the different parts of the burner will gradually become more matt with time. This is quite normal and will not affect the operation of the hob.
28
Cleaning and care
To assemble the small, medium, large and extra large burners
^ Place the burner head r on to the burner base u so that
the ignition safety device s and the ignitor t extend through their respective holes in the burner head. The burner head must click into place correctly.
^ Replace the burner cap n ensuring that the locating tabs
fit into the notches in the burner head r.
Important: replace parts in the correct order after cleaning.
