Warning and Safety instructions

Correct application

This gas hob complies with all relevant local and national safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the gas hob, please read these instructions carefully before installation and before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, use and maintenance.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.

This gas hob is not designed for

commercial use. It is intended for use in domestic households and in similar working and residential environments such as:

Shops

–

Offices and showrooms

–

and by residents in establishments such as:

Hostels and guest houses.

–

The gas hob is intended for

domestic use only to cook food and keep it warm. Any other use is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

The gas hob is not intended for

outdoor use.

The gas hob can only be used by

people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

This gas hob is not a toy! To prevent

the risk of injury, do not allow children to play with the appliance or its controls.

Children under 8 years of age must

be kept away from the hob unless they are constantly supervised.

Children 8 years and older may use

the gas hob only if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

The gas hob and its accessible

parts get hot when in use and remain hot for quite a while after being switched off. Keep children well away from the appliance until it has cooled down and there is no danger of burning.

Do not store anything which might

arouse a child's interest in storage areas above or next to the hob. Otherwise they could be tempted into climbing onto the gas hob with the risk of burning themselves.

Packaging, e.g. cling film,

polystyrene and plastic wrappings, must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all packaging safely as soon as possible.

Keep all pans out of reach of

children. Turn pan handles inwards away from the edge of the hob. Danger of burning or scalding. Special hob guards are available from good retail outlets.

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

the mains electricity supply, make sure that the data quoted on the data plate match the household mains supply, otherwise the appliance could be damaged. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

For safety reasons, this gas hob

may only be used after it has been built in.

Connection to the gas supply must

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.

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

guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by Miele. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the gas hob when Miele replacement parts are used.

The gas hob is not intended for use

with an external timer switch or a remote control system.

If the connection cable is damaged,

it must be replaced by a suitably qualified electrician with a special connection cable of type H 05 V V-F (pvc insulated), available from the Miele Spare Parts Department.

Do not connect the gas hob to the

mains electricity supply by a multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Do not use the hob if it is faulty.

Switch it off immediately, and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply and the gas supply. Call the Service Department.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
