Building in and connection
The connection to the gas supply
~
must be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person in
accordance with local and national
safety regulations, e.g. a registered gas
fitter. If the appliance is supplied
without a plug, or if the plug is removed
the appliance must additionally be
installed and connected by a suitably
qualified and competent electrician in
strict accordance with national and
local regulations. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for damage
caused by incorrect installation or
connection.
~

when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system which
complies with local and national safety
regulations. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is present and
tested regularly, and where there is any
doubt, the household wiring system
should be inspected by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
Ensure that the gas pipe and
~
electrical cable are installed in such a
way that they do not touch any parts of
the appliance which become hot. This
could cause damage.
Do not connect the appliance to the
~
mains electricity supply by an extension
lead. Extension leads do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance.
This appliance must not be installed
~
and used in mobile installations (e.g.
ships, caravans etc.).
Do not modify this appliance.

For safety reasons the appliance
~
must only be operated after it has been
built in. This is necessary to ensure that
all electric components are shielded.
This appliance is for domestic use
~
only, and is not intended for
commercial use.
Use this appliance for the
~
preparation of food only. Any other
usage is at the owner's risk and could
be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damage
caused by incorrect or improper use of
the appliance.
Do not use the appliance to heat up
~
the room. The high temperature could
cause inflammable objects nearby to
catch fire.
Using the gas cooktop can cause
~
heat and moisture to build up in the
kitchen. Ensure that the room is well
ventilated; open a door or window or
provide a mechanical means of
ventilation, by installing a rangehood,
for example.
Make sure all the components of the
~
gas burners have been correctly
assembled before switching on.
When using a rangehood over the
~
gas cooktop, ensure that any burners in
use are always covered with a pan.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the rangehood, parts of
which could then be damaged or even
set on fire.
Pans must be the correct size for the
~
burner they are used on (see "Suitable
pans"). 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. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for this type of damage.
Do not use or store flammable
~
materials in the appliance storage
drawer or near this appliance.
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.
This appliance must not be set up or
~
operated in the open air.

9
Warning and Safety instructions
Protection from burning and
scalding
The surface of the appliance gets
~
hot when in use, and remains hot for
quite a while after being switched off.
Do not touch it whilst it is still hot.
Use heat-resistant pot holders or
~
gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Ensure that they do not come into
contact with the flames. Do not use
large cloths, tea towels or similar as the
ends could touch the flames and catch
fire. Take care not to let pot holders or
gloves get damp or wet, as this causes
heat to transfer through the material
quicker with the risk of burning yourself.
Do not heat up unopened tins of
~
food on the cooktop as pressure will
build up in the tin and it can explode.
This could result in injury or damage.
Do not use the cooktop as a resting
~
place for anything else. If the cooktop
was switched on inadvertently, or if it
was still hot the article could begin to
melt or catch fire.
Remove splashes of fat and other
~
food debris from the surface as soon as
possible. These are a fire hazard.
Never leave the appliance
~
unattended when cooking with oil or fat
as these are fire hazards if overheated.
Very hot oil can catch fire and could
even set a rangehood above on fire.
Always heat fat slowly, watching as it
heats.
If, despite this, oil or fat does catch
~
fire, do not attempt to put out the flames
with water. Use a suitable fire blanket,
saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to
smother the flames.
Do not flambé under a rangehood.
~
The flames could set the rangehood on
fire.
Ensure that the flames from the
~
burner do not spread out beyond the
base and up the sides of the pan.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity
~
of this appliance while it is in operation.
Do not cover the cooktop with a
~
cloth, household foils or other similar
objects. This could lead to danger of
the article catching fire, if the cooktop
were to be switched on inadvertently.

Warning and Safety instructions
With a damaged appliance
In the event of damage or a defect,
~
switch off the appliance immediately.
Turn off the gas supply tap, and
disconnect completely from the
electricity supply. Contact Miele.
Ensure that the appliance is
disconnected from the electricity
supply before any servicing or repair
work.
Ceramic cooktops:
~
Any breakages or cracks in the ceramic
surface of the cooktop are defects and
must be treated as such.
Repairs to the gas and electrical
~
components of this appliance must only
be carried out by a suitably qualified
person. Repairs by unauthorised
personnel could be dangerous. On no
account open the outer casing of the
appliance.
While the appliance is under
~
guarantee repairs should only be
undertaken by a service engineer
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
Further safety notes
When using an electrical appliance,
~
e.g. a hand-held mixer, near the gas
cooktop, ensure that the connection
cable doesn't come into contact with
the hot cooktop. The insulation on the
cable could become damaged, giving
rise to an electric shock hazard.
Always ensure that food is
~
sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food and its temperature. Some foods
may contain micro-organisms which are
only destroyed by thorough cooking;
therefore when cooking or reheating
foods such as poultry, it is particularly
important that the food is completely
cooked through. If in doubt, select a
longer cooking or reheating time.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
~
containers. These melt at high
temperatures and could damage the
ceramic surface. Fire hazard.
If the appliance has not been used
~
for a longer period of time it should be
thoroughly cleaned before it is used
again. It is also advisable to have the
appliance tested for safety. This should
be done at regular intervals.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these safety
instructions.

Before using for the first time
General notes
A data plate for your appliance is
supplied with this documentation. It
should be stuck into the space
provided at the end of the instruction
book. The address of your nearest
Miele office is given on the back page.
Cleaning and heating up for
the first time
Before using for the first time clean the
cooktop and all removable parts as
follows:
The removable parts of the gas
^
burner assembly can be washed in a
mild solution of water and
washing-up liquid. Wipe dry and
reassemble in the correct order (see
"Cleaning and care").
Clean the cooktop with a damp cloth
^
only, and then wipe dry.
Do not use washing up liquid to
clean the ceramic surface as it can
leave a blue sheen which may be
difficult to remove.
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight
smell when the cooktop is heated up for
the first time. The smell and any
vapours will dissipate after a short time
and do not indicate a faulty connection
or appliance.
13
Using the gas cooktop
Switching on, controlling,
switching off
The control knobs are used to switch on
the burner and regulate the strength of
the flame.
Small, medium and large burners
Wok burner
The burners can only be switched
on by pressing in the appropriate
control and turning it anti-clockwise,
and switched off by turning the
control clockwise. The outer flame
ring on the wok burner can only be
switched on and off by pressing the
control in and turning it the
appropriate way.
The following can damage
components in the appliance:
-Trying to switch on a burner
without pressing in the control.
-Switching off a burner by
turning it anti-clockwise.
-Switching the outer flame ring
on the wok burner on or off
without pressing in the control.
-Switching on a burner by
turning it clockwise.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for this type of damage.
14
To switch on:
^
The control for the burner required
must be pressed in and turned
anti-clockwise to the large flame
symbol to switch on.
^
When the flame ignites, keep the
control pressed in for 8-10 seconds,
and then let it go.
If the flame goes out, repeat the
procedure, keeping the control pressed
in for a few extra seconds.
Using the gas cooktop
Controlling:
When the flame burns steady after
^
releasing the knob, select a setting
between the large and the small
flame symbol. The flame gets
smaller, when you turn the control
knob anti-clockwise and bigger when
turning clockwise. You don’t need to
press the knob.
Wok burner:
^
On reaching the resistance briefly
press the knob to turn past. Then
without pressing it in turn the control
to the required setting.
^ Control the flame so that it does not
spread out beyond the sides of the
pan. 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 burning.
Switching off:
Turn the knob clockwise until the "ß"
^
position is reached.
This stops the flow of gas and the flame
goes out.

– You should select pans which are
suitable for the burner they are to be
used on. In general: use larger
diameter pans on the large burner
and smaller diameter pans on the
small burner.
–
Wide, shallow pans are preferable to
tall, narrow ones. They will heat up
faster.
Pans with thick bases are preferable
–
as these distribute heat more evenly,
and therefore lessen the risk of heat
spots occurring which can cause
food to stick or burn. With thin bases
heat is conducted quickly to the
food, however there is a danger of
food heating up unevenly and too
quickly increasing the risk of burning.
Stir the food frequently.
Any heat-resistant pans can be used
–
on a gas burner.
Remember when purchasing new
–
pans that manufacturers usually refer
to the diameter at the top of the pan
in their documentation.
– 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. 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. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for this type of
damage.
–
Use a pan lid whenever possible to
minimise heat loss.
17
Using the gas cooktop
Safety cut-out
This appliance is fitted with an electric
ignition safety device which cuts off the
supply of gas to a burner if the flame
goes out, for example if food has boiled
over, or if there was a sudden draught.
To use the cooktop again, turn the
^
knob clockwise until the "ß" position
is reached and switch on as normal.
The safety cut-out operates
independently from the electricity
supply. This means that it is still active
when the cooktop is used during a
power cut (see "Use during a power
cut").
Use during a power cut
If there is an interruption to the
electricity supply the gas can be
ignited with a match:
Press in the relevant control knob
^
and turn it anti-clockwise to the large
gas symbol.
Hold the control pressed in and light
^
the gas at the burner with a match.
Keep the control knob pressed in for
^
a further 8-10 seconds and then
release it.
