Do not install and use a damaged
appliance. A damaged appliance is
dangerous.
The electrical safety of this
~
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with current
local and national safety regulations. It
is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and tested
regularly and, where there is any doubt,
the household wiring system should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.

Warning and Safety instructions
The connection to the gas supply
~
must be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations. If the
appliance is supplied without a plug, or
if the plug is removed, it must be
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 housing of the
~
appliance.
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
Miele authorised, suitably qualified and
competent person in strict accordance
with current national and local safety
regulations.
Repairs and other work by
unauthorised and unqualified persons
could be dangerous. Miele cannot be
held liable for unauthorised work.
The gas cooktop must be
~
disconnected from the gas supply and
mains electricity before repairs and
maintenance work is carried out. It is
only completely isolated from the
electricity supply when:
the mains fuse is disconnected,
–
the screw-out fuse is removed (in
–
countries where this is applicable),
it is switched off at the wall socket
–
and the plug is withdrawn from the
socket, or it is switched off at the
isolator.
While the appliance is under
~
warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by Miele. Otherwise the
manufacturer's warranty will be
invalidated.
Faulty components must only be
~
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
This appliance is not intended to be
~
operated by means of an external timer
or separate remote control system.
If the connection cable is damaged,
~
it must be replaced by a suitably
qualified electrician with a specialist
connection cable of type H 05 VV-F
(pvc insulated), available from Miele.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not connect the appliance to the
~
mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
Do not use the gas cooktop if it is
~
faulty. Switch it off immediately,
disconnect it from the gas supply and
mains electricity, and call Miele.
In areas which may be subject to
~
infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all
times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the warranty.
Correct use
The appliance 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.
When using a rangehood above the
~
cooktop, ensure that the burner is
always covered with a pan when in use.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the rangehood, parts of
which could then be damaged or even
set on fire.
Do not leave the cooktop
~
unattended whilst it is being used.
Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause
a fire.
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 cooktop 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 rangehood.
~
The flames could set the rangehood on
fire.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
For added protection, it is advisable
~
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance.
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 these items 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 appliance as a
~
resting place for anything else. 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 appliance, e.g.
~
with a covering plate, a cloth, kitchen
foil, etc. If the appliance is switched on
by mistake, or if there is residual heat
present, these materials may catch fire,
shatter or melt.
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.
Pans must be the correct size for the
~
burner they are used on (see "Pots &
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
cooktop. Miele will not accept liability
for any damage resulting from such
incorrect use.
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 cooktop,
and never heat up empty pans as they
could get damaged. This could also
damage the appliance.
Always use the pan support
~
supplied. Never place a pot or pan on
the burner itself.
Do not store any inflammable
~
objects near the gas cooktop.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity
~
of this appliance while in operation.
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
cooktop.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Using the cooktop creates heat,
~
moisture and products of combustion
within the room in which it is located. It
is important to make sure the room is
sufficiently ventilated during operation
of the cooktop with natural or
mechanical means of ventilation, e.g. a
rangehood.
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 rangehood on the highest setting.
While the gas cooktop is in
~
operation, it must be used in
conjunction with either a rangehood or
another domestic ventilation system.
When using an electrical appliance,
~
e.g. a hand-held mixer, near the gas
cooktop, ensure that the connection
cable doesn't come into contact with
the hot cooktop. The insulation on the
cable could become damaged, giving
rise to an electric shock hazard.
If the cooktop is built-in behind a
~
furniture door, it must only be operated
when the door is open.
Close the furniture door only once the
appliance has been switched off and
the residual heat indicators have gone
out.
If the appliance has not been used
~
for a long period of time, it should be
thoroughly cleaned before it is used
again. It is also advisable to have the
appliance tested by a qualified person
for safety.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.
Do not use or store flammable
~
materials in the appliance storage
drawer or near the appliance. Cutlery
inserts must be heat-resistant.
Do not use pans that are large
~
enough to cover more than one burner.
The resulting build-up of heat could
damage the appliance.
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.

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.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. 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.
Disposing 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. If
handled or disposed of incorrectly they
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
Please do not dispose of your
appliance with household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre.
14
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for
disposal.
Please place the extra data plate on a surface near the
cooktop such as the cupboard door if the labels on the base
of the cooktop are not visible after installation.
If the labels on the base of the cooktop are visible after
installation, the additional data plate label can be placed in
the space provided in the "After sales service" section of this
booklet.
Cleaning for the first time
Remove any protective foil.
^
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").
^ Before using for the first time, clean the appliance with a
damp cloth only and then wipe dry.
The 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 given off do not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance, and neither are they hazardous to
health.
