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.
