7

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

 Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause

considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and re­pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.

 Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the

appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so.
Service work should only be performed by a qualified technician.

 Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the

cooktop for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is
damaged.

 Reliable and safe operation of the cooktop can only be guaran-

teed if it is connected to the public power supply.

 Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a

qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appli­ance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective
grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement
be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house
checked by a qualified electrician.

 Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been in-

stalled correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified techni­cian.

 To avoid damaging the cooktop, make sure that the connection

data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the
building's power supply before connecting the appliance.
When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

 Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a power

bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance.

 For safety reasons, the cooktop may only be used when it has

been fully installed.

8

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.

on a ship).

 Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical

or mechanical components of the cooktop will endanger your safety
and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Do not open the casing of the cooktop under any circumstances.

 Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized service techni-

cian will void the warranty.

 Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts

only. Only with these parts can safety of the appliance be assured as
intended by the manufacturer.

 The appliance is not intended for use with an external timer switch

or a remote control system.

 The connection to the gas supply must be carried out by a quali-

fied service technician in accordance with current local and national
safety regulations (see “Installation–Gas connection”). If the plug
has been removed or the power cord is not supplied with a plug, the
cooktop must be connected to the power supply by a qualified ser­vice technician (see “Installation–Electrical connection”).

 If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a quali-

fied service technician (see “Installation–Electrical connection”).

 During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the appliance

must be completely disconnected from the household electricity
supply. The gas supply must be shut off. Ensure that this is the case
by:

- removing the fuse

- “tripping” the circuit breaker, or

- unplugging the unit. Pull the plug not the cord.

- Shut off the gas supply.

9

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Danger of electric shock.

If the cooktop is defective, immediately turn the appliance off and
discontinue use. Disconnect it from the electricity and gas supply.
Contact Technical Service.

 If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet (e.g., a door), do not

close the cabinet door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and
moisture can build up behind the cabinet door when closed. This
can result in damage to the cooktop, housing unit, and floor. Leave
the cabinet door open until the cooktop has cooled down com­pletely.

 Reaching over a hot cooktop to access the cabinets can result in

burns. You can reduce the risk of burns by installing a ventilation
hood that extends at least 4¾" (12cm) past the bottom of the cabi­nets.

 Ask your installer to show you the location of your gas shutoff

valve and fuses or circuit breaker panel in your apartment or home.
Be sure that you know how and where to disconnect the gas and
power supply to your cooktop.

10

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct use

 The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time

after being turned off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a possi­bility that it could still be hot.

 When in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat,

which can cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire.
Never use the cooktop to heat the room.

 Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking on high

power. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter,
which can ignite on the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance.

 Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the appliance

unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches
fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water.
Turn off the cooktop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable
fire blanket.

 Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing

agent or foam fire extinguisher.

 The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire.

Do not flambé under a ventilation hood.

 Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can

ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the appliance. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resis­tant.

 Never heat empty cookware.
 Do not heat or can food in closed containers, such as tins or

sealed jars, on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the container
and cause it to explode.

11

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the

cover will ignite, explode or melt if the cooktop is still hot or if turned
on inadvertently. Never cover the cooktop with a board, cloth or pro­tective sheet.

 When the appliance is turned on inadvertently or by mistake, or

when there is residual heat present, there is a risk of the metal items
heating up. Other materials can melt or catch fire when the appliance
is switched on. Do not store items on the cooktop.

 You can burn yourself on a hot cooktop. When cooking on the ap-

pliance, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders or
oven mitts. Only use dry pot holders or gloves. Wet or damp textiles
conduct heat more effectively and produce steam, which poses a
burn hazard. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the gas flames.
Do not use oversized cloths, dish towels or other similar materials.

 When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near the

cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into con­tact with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation could become dam­aged.

 Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high tem-

peratures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum foil cookware.

 Pressing the knob generates a spark on the ignitor. Do not press

the knob while you are cleaning or touching the cooktop or a burner
in the vicinity of an ignitor.

 A ventilation hood installed above the cooktop can become dam-

aged or catch fire as a result of intense heat. Do not use the gas
burners without cookware.

 Only light the gas burners after all burner parts have been properly

assembled.

12

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 If the cookware is too small, it will not sit properly on the burner

grate. If the cookware is too large, heat emitted from the bottom of
the cookware may damage the countertop, walls with poor heat-re­sistance (e.g. paneled walls) or portions of the cooktop.

 Make sure that the burner flames do not extend beyond the bot-

tom of the cookware and rise up its sides.

 Only use cookware with a thick enough bottom. Failure to do so

may result in damage to the cooktop.

 Always use the burner grates supplied with the cooktop. Never

place cookware directly on the burner.

 Install the burner grates in an upright position to avoid scratching

the cooktop.

 Storage in or on the appliance: Flammable materials should not be

stored in an oven or in the vicinity of the cooktop.

 Remove all grease splatters and other flammable (food) residues

on the cooktop. They are a fire hazard.

 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.

 Using of a gas cooktop causes heat, moisture and products of

combustion to build up in the room in which it is installed. Make sure
that your kitchen is well ventilated, especially when the appliance is
in use: keep any natural means of ventilation open or install a me­chanical ventilation system (e.g. a ventilation hood).

 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 ventilation on the highest setting.

 Do not use pots or pans that are large enough to cover several

burners. The resulting heat buildup can damage the appliance.

13

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 If the cooktop has not been used for a long period of time, be sure

to thoroughly clean it and have it inspected by an authorized techni­cian before using it again.

 Ensure that the igniters are clean and dry to allow the burners to

ignite and burn properly.

 Fire hazard! Loose-fitting or hanging garments can catch fire. Be

sure to wear appropriately fitting clothing when cooking. Never allow
loose clothing or flammable materials to come into contact with the
burners while the burners are in use.

 When you have finished cooking, make sure that the burners are

turned off by checking the position of the knobs.

 The grates, burner cap, bottom parts of the burner, and any other

parts located near the burner flame, can still be very hot after cook­ing and cause burns. Do not touch these components when using
the cooktop.

 Wind can blow curtains over the cooktop, causing them to catch

fire. If the cooktop is installed near a window, do not use long cur­tains.

 Only certain types of glass, ceramic or other enamel cookware

can be used on a gas cooktop without breaking as a result of sud­den temperature changes.

 Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if they

are used to wipe spilled food off a hot burner. Some cleansers can
emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be careful
when cleaning the cooktop.

14

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning and maintenance

 Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.

The steam may reach electrical components and cause a short cir­cuit.

 Miele will guarantee to supply functional parts for a minimum of

10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of your
cooktop.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY

Overview

Included accessories

The accessories supplied with your ap­pliance, as well as a range of optional
ones, are available to order from Miele
(see “Optional accessories”).

Wok ring

The Wok ring supplied with your appli­ance can be used in instances where
extra stability is required. It is particu­larly suitable for wok pans with rounded
bases.

22

Before first use

Cleaning the cooktop for the first time

 Before first use, wipe down the appli-

ance with a damp cloth and dry it.

 Using a soft sponge, clean all remov-

able burner parts with a solution of
warm water and a small amount of
liquid dish soap. Dry the parts thor­oughly after cleaning and reassemble
the burners (see “Cleaning and
care”).

Turning on the cooktop for the first time

Metal components are protected by a
conditioning agent. Smells and vapor
may occur when the appliance is used
for the first time.

The smell and any vapors do not indi­cate a faulty connection or a defective
appliance and are not harmful to your
health.

23

Cookware

- Select cookware that fits the size of

the burner:
Large diameter = large burner
Small diameter = small burner

- Using cookware that is too large can

cause the flames to spread out and
damage the surrounding countertop
or other appliances. Choosing the
right cookware size improves effi­ciency.

- Any cookware that has a diameter

smaller than the burner grate or
which does not rest in a stable posi­tion on the grate (without wobbling) is
dangerous and should not be used.

- Unlike cookware that is used on an

electric cooktop, the bottom of cook­ware used on a cooktop does not
have to be flat to deliver effective
cooking performance.

- When purchasing pots and pans,

keep in mind that the diameter indi­cated is typically the top diameter,
not the bottom diameter.

- Do not use pots or pans that have
bottoms with pronounced edges.

- All heat-resistant cookware is suitable
for use.

- Cookware with a thick bottom is
preferable, as it distributes heat more
evenly. Cookware with a thin bottom
may cause food to overheat in certain
spots. To avoid this, stir the food fre­quently.

- Always place the cookware on the
pot rests supplied. Do not place
cookware directly on the burners.

- Position the cookware on the burner
grate so that it cannot tip. There is al­ways a possibility of a slight tilt, de­spite the proper position.

24

- Whenever possible, keep pots and
pans covered while cooking. Doing
so will prevent unnecessary heat loss.

- Wide, shallow cookware heats up
faster and is therefore preferable to
tall, narrow cookware.

- Cook with as little water as possible.

- Reduce the power setting once the
water has come to a boil or the oil/fat
is hot enough for frying.

- Use a pressure cooker to reduce the
cooking time.

Energy saving tips

25

Operation

 Fire hazard due to overheated

food.
Unattended food can overheat and

ignite.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended

whilst it is being used.

Rapid ignition system

The cooktop is supplied with a rapid ig­nition system with the following fea­tures:

- Rapid ignition without the need to
hold the knob.

- Automatic re-ignition
If the flame is extinguished by a draft,
for example, the burner is automati­cally relit. If re-ignition is unsuccess­ful, the gas supply is automatically
cut off (see “Safety features” – “Igni­tion safety”).

If there has been a power outage, the
automatic re-ignition feature will not
work properly.

Wok burner

You can place a wok pan on the wok
burner without an additional wok ring.

 If you are using the wok ring, place it

on the grate so that it sits securely in
position and cannot move (see dia­gram).

26

Operation

Turning the appliance on

 Press the knob lightly and turn it

counter-clockwise to the large flame
symbol.

 Then press it down firmly to open the

gas supply and let it go.

The ignition electrode “clicks” and ig­nites the gas.

When a knob is activated, a spark is
developed automatically on all burn­ers. This is normal and does not indi­cate a fault.

 If the burner does not ignite, turn the

knob to the position. Ventilate the
room or wait for at least 1minute be­fore trying again.

 If the burner does not ignite the sec-

ond time, turn the knob back to the
position and see “Frequently asked
questions”.

Brief re-ignition may occur during
switch-on (1–2x clicks), e.g., if there is
a draft.

Switching on during a power outage

In case of a power outage, the flame
can be ignited manually.

 Press in the relevant control knob and

turn it counterclockwise to the large
flame symbol.

 Hold the control knob pressed down

and light the gas at the burner with a
match.

 Keep the control knob pressed down

for a further 5–10seconds and then
release it.

27

Operation

Adjusting the flame

The burners can be variably adjusted
between the lowest and highest flame
settings.

Because the edges of the flame are
much hotter than its center, the flame
tips should stay beneath the bottom of
the cookware. Flame tips which ex­tend beyond the sides of the cook­ware emit unnecessary heat into the
room and can also damage cookware
handles, which increases the risk of
injury.

 Adjust the flame so that it never ex-

tends up the sides of the cookware.

Wok burner

Depending on the knob design, there
may be a stopper at the 6 o’clock posi­tion to prevent you turning the knob to
the high or low setting unintentionally.

 Press the knob down lightly to move

past this stopper.

Normal for natural
gas

Switching off

 Turn the control knob clockwise to

the position.

This stops the flow of gas and the flame
goes out.

28

Ignition safety

The cooktop is equipped with an igni­tion safety device. If a gas flame is ex­tinguished (e.g., by food boiling over or
by a draft) and re-ignition does not
work, the gas supply is switched off.
This prevents the release of gas. If you
turn the knob to the position, the
burner is ready for use again.

The flame failure device operates inde­pendently from the electricity supply.
This means that it will still work if the
cooktop is used during a power out­age.

Safety features

29

Cleaning and care

 Danger of burning due to hot

surfaces.
The cooktop surface, grates, and

burners will be hot after use.
Allow the cooktop to cool down be-

fore cleaning it.

 Risk of damage due to moisture

ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaning ap-

pliance could reach electrical com­ponents and cause a short circuit.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the cooktop.

All surfaces could be discolored or
damaged if unsuitable cleaning
agents are used. All surfaces are
susceptible to scratching.

Remove all cleaning agent residues
immediately.

Do not clean with any abrasive or

if left on the printed surfaces for a
long time.

Remove such soiling immediately.

 Damage due to incorrect clean-

ing.
Stainless-steel cleaners rub off the

printed symbols.
Do not use stainless-steel cleaners

on printed symbols.

Grates

 Remove the grates.
 Clean the grates in a dishwasher or

with a solution of warm water and a

Do not clean any parts of the burner
in a dishwasher.

 The burner should be dismantled and

then cleaned only by hand using a
solution of warm water and a small
amount of liquid dish soap applied
with a soft sponge.

 Clean any soiling from the flame

openings with the brush supplied.

 Risk of explosion.

Blocked flame openings can cause a
dangerous build-up of gas in the
base of the cooktop, which could ig­nite and cause an explosion. This
can lead to damage to the appliance
and injury.

Ensure the flame openings are kept
clean at all times.

wet, it will not spark.

 Finally dry everything thoroughly with

a clean cloth. Make sure that the
flame openings are completely dry.

The surface of the burner cap will be­come more matte with time. This is
quite normal and does not indicate
damage to the material.

 Parts of the burner that cannot be re-

moved 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION

 Risk of damage caused by incorrect installation.

Incorrect installation can damage the cooktop.
The cooktop must only be installed by a qualified specialist.

 Damage from falling objects.

Take care not to damage the cooktop when installing cabinetry or a ventilation
hood above it.

Install the cabinetry and ventilation hood before installing the cooktop.

 The room in which the cooktop is installed must conform to all rel-

evant local and national building regulations and safety regulations.

 The countertop must be heat-resistant (up to 212°F / 100°C), so

that it does not become deformed or the veneer detached. The wall
strips must be heat-resistant as well.

 The cooktop must not be installed above refrigerators/freezers,

dishwashers, or washer/dryers.

 A gas cooktop must not be installed directly next to a deep fat

fryer as the gas flames could ignite the fat in the fryer. It is essential
to maintain a distance of at least 12" (300mm) between these two
appliances.

 The maximum depth of cabinets installed above the cooktop must

be no more than 13" (330mm) or a greater depth specified by the
manufacturers as tested by the certification agency.

 When installing the cooktop, make sure that the gas pipe and

power cord cannot come into contact with hot appliance parts.

 The power cord and any flexible gas connection pipes must be in-

stalled in such a way so that they do not come into contact with any
moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer), and cannot become trapped.

 Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the following

pages.

Installation notes

Seal between cooktop and counter­top

 Damage caused by incorrect in-

stallation.
Using sealant under the cooktop

could result in damage to the cook­top and the countertop if the cook­top ever needs to be removed for
servicing.

Do not use sealant between the
cooktop and the countertop.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the cooktop provides a sufficient seal
for the countertop.

Tiled countertop

Grout lines and the shaded area un­der the cooktop frame must be smooth
and even. If they are not, the cooktop
will not sit flush with the countertop and
the sealing strip underneath the cook­top will not provide a good seal be­tween the cooktop and the countertop.

Installation

Preparing the countertop

 Create the countertop cut-out as

shown in the cooktop diagram. Re­member to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Installation–
Safety distances”).

 Seal any cut surfaces on the wooden

countertop with a special varnish, sili­cone rubber, or resin to prevent the
wood from swelling as a result of
moisture. The sealant must be tem­perature-resistant.

Ensure that the sealant does not get
on the top surface of the countertop.

The sealing strip ensures that the
cooktop will sit securely in the cut-out
without slipping. Any gap between the
trim and countertop will become
smaller over time.

Installing the cooktop

 Feed the appliance power cord down

through the counter cut-out.

 Place the cooktop centrally in the

cut-out. When doing this make sure
that the seal of the appliance sits
flush with the countertop on all sides.
This is important to ensure an effec­tive seal all round.

If during installation the seal around
the frame does not sit flush with the
countertop in the corners, the corner
radius, maximum 3/16" (≤R4/ 4mm),
can be carefully filed down to fit.

Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone).

 Connect the cooktop to the electrical

power supply (see “Installation–
Electrical connection”).

 Connect the cooktop to the gas sup-

ply (see “Installation–Gas connec­tion”).

45

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

Securing the cooktop

The brackets are suitable for securing
the cooktop in a flush-fit or proud in­stallation. The illustrations show the
cooktop secured in a proud installa­tion.

Checking for proper function

 After installing the cooktop, ignite all

burners to check that they are operat­ing correctly:

- The flame must not go out on the
lowest setting, or when the control is
turned quickly from the highest to the
lowest setting.

- On the highest setting, the flame
must have a distinctive and visible
core.

 Secure the cooktop using the brack-

ets supplied.

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

Gas connection

 Connection to the gas supply

may only be performed by a duly au­thorized technician. This technician is
responsible for proper function at the
installation site.
In Massachusetts, the gas connec­tion may be performed only by a cer­tified gas installer.

The appliance must be connected
with its own shut-off valve.

The shut-off valve must be accessi­ble and visible, after the opening of a
cabinet door, if necessary.

The gas connection can be to natural
gas or propane gas according to the
model.

Ask your gas company what kind of
gas is used and compare it with the
specifications on the data plate.

The appliance is not connected to an
exhaust vent.

During the setup and connection of
the appliance, observe the applica­ble installation conditions, especially
suitable ventilation measures.

Arrange the gas connections in such
a way that they are not heated and
damaged by the operation of the ap­pliance.

In particular, make sure that the gas
hose lines and connection fittings on
the applinace do not come into con­tact with hot exhaust gases

The gas hose and power cord could
be damaged by hot spots on the ap­pliance.

Make sure that the gas hose and
power cord do not come into contact
with hot spots on the appliance.

Flexible connection lines can be
damaged by incorrect routing.

Attach flexible connecting lines in
such a way so that they do not come
into contact with any moving kitchen
parts (e.g., a drawer) and are not ex­posed to mechanical stress.

Disconnect the appliance and the
shut-off valve from the gas supply
before performing a gas pressure
test at a pressure of more than ½psi
(3.5kPA). Close the shut-off valve of
the gas supply before performing a
gas pressure test at a pressure of
less than or equal to ½psi (3.5kPA).

Incorrectly sealed gas lines can lead
to a gas leak and thus to an explo­sion.

Seal all gas lines with a suitable
thread sealant.

Seal tightness tests on the appliance
must be performed according to
manufacturer specifications.

47

*INSTALLATION*

Installation

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

United States or the current Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSAB149.l. for Canada.

The gas pressure may not under­shoot or exceed certain values.

Make sure that the maximum gas
pressure upstream of the gas pres­sure controller does not amount to
more than ½psi (3.5kPA) for natural
and propane gas.

Make sure that the minimum gas
supply pressure amounts to 6"w.c.
for natural gas and 1"w.c. for
propane gas.

The gas connection of the appliance is
designed for natural gas or propane gas
according to the ordered model.

Gas pressure regulator

The cooktop is supplied together with a
gas pressure regulator that can be con­verted from natural gas to liquid
propane or from liquid propane to natu­ral gas. The regulator is supplied config­ured for the type of gas to which the
cooktop is designed to be connected.
Check this prior to installation.

Pressure setting:
Natural gas 4"w.c.
Liquid propane 1'"w.c.

A flexible steel hose approved by the
AGA or CGA can be used between the
gas connection and the regulator. This
flexible hose enables the cooktop to be
lifted out of the cut-out for maintenance
or repair work. Check to make sure that
no drawers, doors, or similar come into
contact with this flexible hose.

Gas leak due to unsuitable regulator.
Only use the regulator supplied by

Miele.
