IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation and connection

When using your gas appliance
follow basic safety precautions
including the following:

Read all instructions before using for

~

the first time.

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.

Install the appliance so that the

~

power cord and gas piping do not
come into contact with any portion of
the cooktop which may become hot
during use.

Before servicing, turn off the gas

~

valve and disconnect the power supply
by either removing the fuse, unplugging
the unit or manually “tripping” the
circuit breaker.

This equipment has not been

~

designed for maritime use or for use in
mobile installations such as aircraft or
recreational vehicles. However, under
certain circumstances it may be
possible for installation in these
applications. Please contact the
nearest Miele Dealer or the Miele
Technical Service Department with
specific requirements.

After connecting the appliance test

~

for leaks according to the installation
instructions.

If there is any doubt concerning

~

installation contact Miele’s Technical
Service Department.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct usage

Do not operate the cooktop until it is

~

properly installed in the countertop.

This appliance is intended for

~

residential cooking only.

Use the appliance only for its

~

intended purpose.

Be sure drafts do not blow

~

flammable material toward the flames
or push the flames so that they extend
beyond the edges of the pan.

Install the cooktop in a room that

~

has sufficient ventilation.

This appliance must not be

~

operated outdoors.

Do not use aluminum foil to line any

~

part of the cooktop.

For proper lighting and performance

~

of the burners, keep the igniters clean
and dry.

Make sure all components of the

~

gas burners are assembled correctly
before using the cooktop.

Ensure that any burners in use are

~

always covered with a pan.

Do not use pans that extend past

~

the burner grate. Using larger pans
may cause the flames to spread out
and damage the surrounding
countertop or other countertop
appliances.

For safety and stability, do not use

~

pans with a bottom diameter smaller
than the burner grate.

Only certain types of glass, ceramic

~

or other glazed cookware are suitable
for use on a cooktop without breaking
due to the sudden temperature change.

Do not store aerosols, gasoline,

~

combustibles or any other flammable
materials underneath or adjacent to the
cooktop.

WARNING - NEVER use this
appliance as a space heater to heat
or warm the room. Doing so may
result in carbon monoxide poisoning
and overheating.

Protection from damage

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

~

the appliance. Steam could penetrate
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.

Spills containing salt or sugar

~

should be removed immediately.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Personal safety

The burners become very hot when

~

in use. Make sure that no one comes in
contact with them.

Do not leave children unattended in

~

an area where the appliance is in use.

Do not store toys or items of interest

~

to children in cabinets above or behind
the cooktop. Children climbing onto the
cooktop to reach these items may
become seriously injured.

Do not allow children to operate or

~

play with the cooktop. Keep all pans
out of the reach of children.

Use only dry, heat resistant

~

potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces can result in
steam burns. Do not let the potholder
touch the hot burners. Do not use
towels or other bulky items near the
appliance.

Be aware of loose fitting or hanging

~

garments when operating the cooktop,
they may present a fire hazard.

Do not heat unopened food

~

containers. Built-up pressure may
cause the container to burst and result
in injury.

Do not store items on the cooktop

~

when not in use.

Do not leave the cooktop

~

unattended while in use. Boil-overs
cause smoking, and greasy spill-overs
may ignite.

Do not use water on grease fires.

~

Smother any fire or flame, or use a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Do not flambé under an exhaust

~

hood. Flames could be drawn up into
the hood by the suction or the grease
filters may ignite.

For safety reasons the flame should

~

be adjusted to be the same size as the
bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not
use small pans with high flame settings
as the flames can climb the sides of the
pan.

Only use cooking utensils suitable

~

for cooktop use.

Always position pan handles and

~

utensils inward so they do not extend
over adjacent work areas, burners or
the edge of the cooktop.

If there is a drawer directly

~

underneath the appliance without a
wooden base in between, ensure that
no aerosols, combustible liquids or
other easily flammable materials are
kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be
placed in the drawer, these must be
made of a heat-resistant material.

Do not let cooking grease or other

~

flammable materials accumulate on the
appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Damage to the appliance

In the event of damage or a defect,

~

turn off the appliance immediately. Turn
off the gas shut off valve and
disconnect completely from the
electricity supply. Contact the Miele
Technical Service Department.
Do not use the appliance until it has
been repaired.
Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance while repair work is carried
out.

Repairs should only be performed

~

by qualified technicians to ensure
safety. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Under no circumstance
open the outer casing of the appliance.

While the appliance is under

~

warranty repairs should only be
performed by a Miele authorized
service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is void.

Further safety notes

When using a portable appliance

~

near the cooktop, make sure that its
power cord does not come in contact
with the cooktop.

Do not use containers made of

~

plastic or aluminum. They may melt at
high temperatures.

Do not heat empty pots or pans,

~

they may be damaged.

Before discarding an old appliance,

~

disconnect it from the gas and
electrical supply and cut off the power
cord to prevent it from becoming a
hazard.

Before using the cooktop

Cleaning the cooktop

Before using for the first time clean the
appliance as follows:

Wash the gas burner assembly with a

^

mild solution of warm water and
liquid dish soap.

Wipe dry and reassemble the parts in

^

the proper 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.
