Before the first use

Adhere the data plate sticker, which is included with the
appliance documents, on the appropriate place marked in
"Technical Service".

Cleaning the cooktop

Remove any protective films.

^

Wash the removable parts of the gas burner in a mild

^

solution of warm water and liquid dish soap.

Dry and reassemble the parts in the correct order (see

^

"Cleaning and care").

Wipe the cooktop with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

^

Metal components have a protective coating which may give
off a slight odor the first time your new appliance is heated.

The harmless odor will dissipate after a short time and does
not indicate a faulty connection or appliance defect.

11

Operation

Control knobs

The control knob is used to turn on the burner and to regulate
the strength of the flame.

Fast, Auxiliary and Normal burners

ß The gas supply is turned off

& Highest flame

/ Lowest flame

Turning on

^ To light the burner, press the corresponding burner control

knob and turn it counterclockwise to the largest flame
symbol.

Pressing a burner control knob automatically generates a
spark at all burners on the cooktop. This is normal and
does not indicate a faulty appliance.

12

^

When a flame is visible, keep the burner control knob
pressed for5-10seconds, then release it.

^

If the flame goes out prematurely, turn the burner control
knob to "ß". Air out the room or wait at least 1 minute before
attempting to reignite. You may have to keep the burner
control knob pressed a little longer.

^

If the burner does not ignite even at the second attempt,
turn the burner control knob to "ß" and and see "Frequently
asked questions".

Turning on in the event of a power failure

If there is a power loss, you can ignite the flame manually,
e.g. with a match.

Press the burner control knob and turn it

^

counterclockwise to the largest flame symbol.

Keep the knob pressed and ignite the escaping gas-air

^

mixture with a match.

Keep the knob pressed for a further approx.5-10seconds

^

and then release it.

Regulating

The flame should be regulated so that it never protrudes
beyond the pot. Since the outer part of the gas flame is much
hotter than the center of the flame, the flame tips should
remain under the base of the pot. Protruding flame tips give
off unnecessary heat into the air and can damage pot
handles and increase the risk of burning.

The burner can be continuously regulated between the
highest and lowest flame.

Operation

Turning off

^ To switch from the high to the low setting, turn the burner

control knob clockwise until resistance is felt. Press the
knob down until you pass the stop, and release the
pressure and set the cooktop the desired setting.

^

To switch from the low to the high setting, turn the burner
control knob counterclockwise until resistance is felt. Press
the knob down until you pass the stop, and release the
pressure and set the cooktop the desired setting.

^

Turn the burner control knob clockwise to "ß".

The gas supply is stopped and the flame goes out.

Do not turn the burner control knob clockwise beyond "ß".

13

Cookware

Select the cookware to match the burner:

–

large diameter = large burner
small diameter = small burner.

Using oversized pans may cause the flames to spread out

–

and damage the surrounding countertop or other
countertop appliances. The proper pan size will also
improve efficiency.

Pots with a smaller diameter than the pan support and pots

–

that do not sit securely (without wobbling) are hazardous
and should not be used.

Unlike pans used on an electric cooktop, the bases do not

–

need to be even for good results.

When buying pots and pans, keep in mind that it is

–

generally not the base diameter but the upper diameter
which is specified.

– Only use heat-resistant cookware.

– Thick pan bases will give more even results, as hot spots

are reduced due to better heat distribution.
Thin pan bases will conduct the heat faster but not as
evenly as thick pan bases. Stir the food frequently to
prevent burning.

14

– Always place the cookware on the grate. The cookware

must not be placed directly on the burner.

–

Position the cookware on the grate so that it cannot tip
over. A minimum amount of wobbling can never be
completely ruled out.

–

Do not use pots or pans with edge-supported bases.

Energy saving tips

If possible, cook in covered pots or pans. This prevents

–

unnecessary heat loss.

Cook with less water.

–

The cooking time can be significantly reduced by using a

–

pressure cooker.

After cooking or frying, promptly set to a lower flame.

–

Generally, wide / shallow pans will heat quicker and cook

–

more evenly than narrow / tall ones.

15

Safety feature

Ignition safety control

The appliance is equipped with an Ignition safety control.
This control cuts the gas supply if the flame goes out and
reignition is unsuccessful, e.g. from a boilover or a draft. Any
further escape of gas is prevented.

To reignite the burner knob clockwise to "ß" and then turn it

^

on as usual.

The Ignition safety control works independently of the power
supply. It is active if the appliance is in use during a power
failure.

16

Cleaning and care

Never use a steam cleaner to clean this cooktop.

,

Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the
surface and to components.

Do not use any sharp or pointed objects which could
damage the seal between the frame and the countertop.

Keep the ignitor in the burner dry. If it gets wet it will not
spark.

Dry your cooktop thoroughly after cleaning it to prevent
lime deposits.

Spills containing salt or sugar should be cleaned immedi
ately.

The surfaces of the burner parts and grates become
slightly duller over time. This is normal and does not
indicate any impairment of the material.

To better maintain your appliance avoid the following:

– cleaners containing soda, ammonia, thinners, or chlorides,

– cleaners containing descaling agents or lime removers,

–

abrasive cleaners,

–

stainless steel cleaners,

–

dishwasher soap,

–

caustic (oven) cleaners,

–

scouring pads, steel wool, hard brushes,

–

metal scrapers.

Glass cleaners may be used to clean the exterior.
However do not allow them to sit or "puddle", this can
cause damage to the surface. Remove the cleaner

promptly.

Gas connection

Installation and service must be
performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or gas supplier.

In Massachusetts installation must
be performed by a licensed
plumber/gas fitter.

This appliance must be installed
with its own shut off valve and the
included gas pressure regulator.
Both the valve and the regulator
must be easily accessible to the
consumer to turn on or shut off the
gas supply after the appliance is
installed.

This appliance and its individual
shut off valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply during any
pressure testing of that system
performed in excess of ½ psi
(3.5 kPa). The appliance must be
isolated from the gas supply line by
closing its individual manual shut off
valve at test pressures equal to or
less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

The gas connection must be made in
accordance with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with

- the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z 21.1 / NFPA 54
for the USA

or

- the current Can / CGA B 149.1
and .2 Installation Codes for gas
burning appliances for Canada.

Make sure that the maximum gas
supply pressure before the gas
pressure regulator is never more than ½
psi for both natural gas or LP gas.

The minimum required gas supply
pressure to get the required gas input is
6" w.c. for natural gas
10" w.c. for LP gas.

Any pipe connections must be
made using a thread sealant
approved for gas connections.
Failure to correctly install these
items could lead to a gas leak and
subsequent explosion.

Leak testing of the appliance shall
be conducted according to the
manufacturer's instructions.

Gas connection

Gas pressure regulator

A pressure regulator that is convertible
from natural to LP gas (Propane) or vice
versa is included with the appliance.
The included regulator corresponds
with the gas type of the appliance.
Verify before installing.

The adjusted pressure is:
natural gas - 4" w.c.
LP gas - 10" w.c.

a Appliance

b ½" NPT

c Regulator

For convenience, an AGA or CGA
approved flexible stainless steel gas
hose (accordion type) may be used
between the gas connection and the
regulator. This will allow the appliance
to be lifted out of the countertop for
cleaning or servicing. Make sure that
any drawers, cabinet doors, etc., do not
rub on this gas hose.

Do not use any regulator unless it
has been supplied by Miele. Doing
so may cause a gas leak.

If there is any doubt concerning
installation contact the Miele Technical
Service Department.

After connecting the appliance check
all fittings for gas leaks e.g. with
soapy water.

When installed properly, the flame will
be steady and quiet. It will also have a
sharp, blue inner core that will vary in
length proportional to the burner size.
Flame adjustment will not be
necessary.

As shown in the above diagram, the
included regulator must be used when
connecting the Miele appliance to your
gas supply. This item has been
customized by Miele to meet all
applicable safety requirements. Make
sure the regulator is easily accessible
for adjustment after the appliance has
been installed.

33

Conversion to another type of gas

The applinace should have been
ordered for connection to either natural
gas or LP gas (propane).

If the appliance is not configured for the
proper type of gas connection please
contact your Miele Dealer.

If the appliance is to be connected to a
type of gas other than it was originally
configured for, both the regulator and
burners must be converted. A
conversion kit is available as an
optional accessory from the Miele
Technical Service Department.
