DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE AS A SPACE HEATER.Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite, do not attempt to put the flames out with water. Switch off the cooktop and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking
process has to be supervised continuously.
Flames could set the grease filters of a rangehood on fire. Do not
flambé under a rangehood.
DO NOT USE OR STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN THE
APPLIANCE STORAGE DRAWER OR NEAR THIS APPLIANCE. CUTLERY INSERTS MUST BE HEAT-RESISTANT.
DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS
APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION.
Do not heat an empty pan.Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the cooktop, as pressure can build up in the containers, causing them to explode.
Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth or
protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the cooktop is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of any metal items placed on the cooktop (e.g. cutlery) heating up. Depending on the material, other items left on the appliance could also melt or catch fire. Do not use the appliance as a resting place for anything else.
You could burn yourself on the hot appliance. Protect your hands
with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself on steam. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the gas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, tea towels or other similar materials.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food mixer,
near the cooktop, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot come into contact with the hot cooktop. The insulation on the cable could become damaged.
Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the cooktop.
When a control knob is pressed down, a spark is generated on the
ignitor. Do not press down the control knob while you are cleaning or touching the cooktop or a burner in the vicinity of an ignitor.
If a rangehood is installed above the cooktop, ensure that the
burners are always covered with a pan when in use. Otherwise flames could reach the rangehood, parts of which could then be damaged or even set on fire.
Switch the burner off when a pan is removed, even for a short
time.
Make sure all the components of the gas burner have been
correctly assembled before switching on.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Pans must be the correct size for the burner they are used on (see
“Suitable cookware”). 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 cannot be held liable for this type of damage.
Ensure that the flames from the burner do not spread out beyond
the base and up the sides of the pan.
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.
The pan supports supplied with the appliance must always be
used. Never place a pan on the burner itself.
Replace the pan supports carefully to avoid scratching the surface
of the cooktop.
Remove all grease spatters and other combustible (food) residues
from the cooktop as soon as possible. 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.
The use of the gas cooktop creates heat, moisture and
combustion products in the room where it is installed. Make sure that the appliance is installed in a location with sufficient ventilation. Natural ventilation openings should not be blocked. Alternatively, a mechanical ventilation device (e.g. a rangehood) can be installed.
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.
Do not use roasting dishes, pans or grilling stones that are large
enough to cover more than one burner. The resulting build-up of heat could damage the appliance.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
13
Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
14

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally 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 valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Before using for the first time

Please stick the extra data plate for
the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the “Service” section of this booklet. Alternatively, the additional label can be stuck near the appliance if the appliance markings are not visible after installation.
Remove any protective wrapping and
stickers (except the data plate).

Cleaning the cooktop for the first time

Before using for the first time, clean
the cooktop with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry.
Clean all removable parts of the
burner(s) with a solution of warm water and a small amount of washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge. Dry all parts thoroughly after cleaning and then reassemble the burners (see “Cleaning and care ­Burners”).

Switching on the cooktop for the first time

The metal components have a protective coating which when heated for the first time will give off a slight smell and possibly some vapours.
The smell and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance and they are not hazardous to health.

– Select cookware that fits the size of
the burner: large diameter = large burner small diameter = small burner
– Refer to the chart above and ensure
that the pan diameter falls within the minimum and maximum diameters given for the burner you are using. Using cookware that is too large can cause the flames to spread out and damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings or surrounding units and also parts of the cooktop or other appliances. Using pans of the correct size improves efficiency. Any cookware that has a diameter smaller than the pan supports or that does not rest safely (without wobbling) on the pan supports is dangerous and should not be used.
– Unlike pans that are used on an
electric cooktop, the bottom of pans used on a gas cooktop do not have to be flat to deliver good cooking results.
– Remember when purchasing new
pans that manufacturers usually refer to the diameter at the top of the pan in their documentation.
– Any heat-resistant cookware can be
used on a gas burner.
– Cookware with a thick base is
preferable, as it distributes heat more evenly. Cookware with a thin base may cause food to overheat in some places. To avoid this, stir the food frequently.
– Always place cookware on the pan
supports supplied with the appliance. Never place it directly on the burners.
– Position the cookware centrally on
the pan support so that it sits securely and cannot tip. There might still be slight movement, which is not a cause for concern.
– Do not use pots or pans with base
supports.
22
– Use a pan lid whenever possible to
minimise heat loss.
– Wide, shallow pans are preferable to
tall, narrow ones. They will heat up faster.
– Cook with as little water as possible.
– Reduce the power setting once the
water has come to the boil or the oil is hot enough to fry in.
– Use a pressure cooker to reduce
cooking times.

Tips on saving energy

23

Operation

Risk of fire with overheated food!
Unattended food can overheat and ignite.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended whilst it is being used.

Switching on

Press in the relevant control knob and
turn it anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. The ignition electrode will “click” and ignite the gas.
When a control knob is activated, a spark is automatically generated on all burners. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
When a flame is visible, keep the
control knob pressed in for 5– 10seconds, and then let it go.
If the burner has not ignited or goes
out, turn the control knob to the position. Aerate the room or wait for at least oneminute before trying again. Try keeping the control knob pressed in for a little longer the next time.

Switching on during a power outage

If there is an interruption to the electricity supply, the gas can be ignited manually, e.g. with a match.
Press down the relevant control knob
and turn it anti-clockwise 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.
If the burner does not ignite the
second time, turn the control back to the position and see “Problem solving guide”.
24
Operation

Adjusting the flame

The burners can be regulated at any level between the strongest and weakest flame.
As the outer part of the flame is much hotter than the centre, the tips of the flames should stay beneath the pan base. Flame tips which extend beyond the sides of the pan merely warm up the air in the room and can also damage pan handles and increase the danger of injury.
Adjust the flame so that it does not
spread out beyond the sides of the pan.

Switching off

Turn the control knob clockwise to
the position.
This stops the flow of gas and extinguishes the flame.
25

Safety features

Thermo-electric flame failure device

Your cooktop is equipped with a thermo-electric flame failure device. If the gas flame is extinguished, e.g. by food boiling over or by a draught, the gas supply is switched off. This prevents the release of gas. If you turn the control knob to the position, the burner is ready for use again.
The thermo-electric flame failure device operates independently from the electricity supply. This means that it will still work if the cooktop is used during a power cut.
26

Cleaning and care

Risk of burning due to hot
surfaces. The cooktop surface, pan supports
and burners will be hot after use. Allow the cooktop to cool down
before cleaning it.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress. The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
All surfaces could be discoloured or damaged if unsuitable cleaning agents are used. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching.
Remove all cleaning agent residues immediately.
Never use abrasive sponges or cleaning agents.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

To avoid damaging the surfaces of the appliance, do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
alkalines, ammonia, acids or chlorides
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
– stain and rust removers
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
– solvent-based cleaning agents
– dishwasher cleaner
– oven sprays
– grill and oven cleaners
– glass cleaning agents
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g. pot scourers), or sponges which have been previously used and still contain abrasive cleaning agents
Food boiling over on a hot cooktop can cause discoloration of the burner components.
Remove any soiling and salt and sugar splashes immediately.
When a control knob is pressed down, a spark is generated on the ignitor. Do not press down the control knob while you are cleaning or touching the cooktop or a burner in the vicinity of an ignitor.
– dirt erasers
27
Cleaning and care
The entire cooktop should be cleaned
after each use.
Stubborn soiling should be soaked
first.
Dry the cooktop after using water to
clean it. This helps prevent limescale deposits.

Stainless steel surfaces

Risk of damage by pointed
objects. The seal between the cooktop and
the worktop could be damaged. Do not use pointed objects for
cleaning.
Damage caused by soiling.
Soiling, particularly salty food or liquid and olive oil, can cause damage if left on the printed surfaces for a long time.
Remove such soiling immediately.
Damage caused by incorrect
cleaning. Stainless steel cleaning agents rub
off the printed symbols. Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on printed symbols.
Clean stainless steel surfaces using a
solution of warm water and a little dishwashing liquid applied with a soft sponge. Stubborn soiling should be soaked first. If necessary, the rough side of a non-scouring sponge can be used.
28
Finally, dry with a clean soft cloth.
Cleaning and care

Ceramic surface

Risk of damage by pointed
objects. The seal between the cooktop and
the worktop could be damaged. The seal between the ceramic surface and the frame could incur damage.
Do not use pointed objects for cleaning.
Not all soiling and residues can be removed using a solution of washing-up liquid. An invisible film can develop that can lead to discolouration of the ceramic glass. This discolouration cannot be removed.
Clean the ceramic surface regularly with a proprietary ceramic glass cleaning agent.
Remove any coarse soiling with a
damp cloth and more stubborn soiling with a glass scraper.
Then clean the ceramic glass surface
with the Miele ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner (see “Optional accessories”) or with a proprietary ceramic glass cleaner applied with a paper towel or a clean cloth. Do not apply cleaner whilst the cooktop is still hot, as this could result in marking. Please follow the cleaning agent manufacturer's instructions.
Spots caused by limescale or water
can be removed using Miele's ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner.
Wipe the surface afterwards with a
damp cloth to remove any cleaning agent residues.
Residues can burn on the next time the appliance is used and cause damage to the ceramic surface. Ensure that all cleaning agent residues are removed.
Dry the ceramic surface with a clean,
soft cloth.

Pan supports

Remove the pan supports.Clean the pan supports in the
dishwasher or with a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge. Stubborn soiling should be soaked first.
After cleaning, dry the pan supports
thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Control knobs

The control knobs are not dishwasher safe.
The control knobs should only be cleaned by hand.
The control knobs may become discoloured if they are not cleaned regularly.
Clean the control knobs after each use.
Clean the controls using a solution of
warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge.
29
Cleaning and care

Burner

Do not clean any parts of the burners in a dishwasher.
The surface of the burner caps will become more matt over time. This is normal and does not indicate damage to the burner caps. Nor will it affect the operation of the cooktop.
The burner should be dismantled and
then cleaned by hand using a solution of warm water and a little dishwashing liquid applied with a soft sponge.
Clean any soiling from the flame
openings.
Danger 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.
The surface of the burner caps will become more matt over time. This is normal and does not indicate damage to the burner caps. Nor will it affect the operation of the cooktop.
Parts of the burner that cannot be
removed should be wiped clean with a damp cloth only.
The ignitor and the flame failure
device should be very carefully wiped clean using a well wrung out cloth.
Do not let the ignitor get wet. If it gets wet, it will not spark.
Finally dry everything thoroughly with
a clean cloth. Make sure that the flame openings are completely dry.
