Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
Children should be supervised to
~
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Older children may use the
~
appliance only when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
The appliance gets hot when in use
~
and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the appliance at all times.
Do not store anything which might
~
arouse a child's interest in storage areas above or next to the appliance. Otherwise they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk of burning themselves.
Keep all pans out of reach of
~
children. Turn pan handles inwards away from the edge of the cooktop to avoid burning or scalding. Special cooktop guards are available from good retail outlets.
Technical safety
Before installation, check the
~
appliance for visible signs of damage. 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. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Before connecting the appliance to
~
the mains supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency details given on the data plate correspond to the on-site electricity supply, otherwise the appliance could be damaged. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
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.
For safety reasons, this appliance
~
may only be used when it has been built in.
This cooktop is not suitable for
~
installation and operation with aftermarket lids or covers fitted.

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.
