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.

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct usage
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.
7

Before disposing of an old
~
appliance, ensure that disconnection from the gas supply is made by a suitably qualified and competent person. Switch off at the mains electricity supply. Cut off and render any plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person. Ensure that the appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
Do not store anything which might
~
arouse a child's interest in storage areas above or next to the appliance. Otherwise they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk of burning themselves.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Protecting the appliance from damage
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
~
this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to other components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Unless the pan manufacturer states
~
that you can do so, you should never use pans with thin bases on this cooktop and you should never heat up an empty pan. Otherwise the cooktop could get damaged.
In countries where there are areas
~
which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Stainless steel surfaces:
Avoid allowing liquids or foods
~
containing salt to spill onto a stainless steel cooktop or trim. If salty foods or liquids do get on the cooktop, they should be removed as soon as possible to avoid the risk of corrosion.
Replace the pan supports carefully
~
to avoid scratching the surface.
Appliances with a ceramic surface:
Do not drop anything on the ceramic
~
surface. Even a light object could cause damage in certain circumstances.
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.
10
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.
11
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packaging material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.
Packaging (e.g. cling film, polystyrene) and plastic wrappings must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all packaging materials as soon as possible.
Disposal of your old appliance or machine
Electrical and electronic appliances / machines often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance or machine. Please do not therefore dispose of your old machine or appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
12
It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind it to prevent misuse.
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.
18
Cleaning and care
General
Clean the appliance regularly, preferably after each use. Allow it to cool sufficiently.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to other components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Do not use any sharp objects which could damage the seal between the ceramic surface and the surrounding frame and between the frame and the worktop.
Do not use any of the following on your cooktop as they can damage the surface material: cleaning agents containing sand, soda, alkalines, acids or chlorides, grill and ovensprays, dishwasher detergent, stain or rust removers, scouring agents or cream cleaners, abrasive sponges and brushes
Pan support, Control knobs
Take off the pan supports.
Clean these and the control knobs with a damp cloth, washing up liquid and warm water. Stubborn soiling is best soaked before.
Finally dry everything with a clean soft cloth.
On stainless steel models: Replace the pan supports carefully to avoid scratching the surface.
Do not let the ignitor in the burner get wet. It it gets wet it will not spark.
After cleaning the cooktop it must be thoroughly dried with a soft cloth to prevent a build up of limescale deposits.
19
Cleaning and care
Cooktop surface
Stainless steel
Clean the cooktop surface with a sponge and a mild solution of warm water and washing up liquid. Soak baked or hardened spills. Dry the cooktop surface thoroughly after cleaning.
The stainless steel surface of the cooktop can be cleaned using a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed for use on stainless steel surfaces. Apply with an even pressure following the direction of the "grain".
Please contact Miele for information on the appropriate cleaning product.
Thoroughly remove salty foods or liquids from the cooktop as soon as possible to avoid the risk of corrosion.
Ceramic surface
Wipe soiling off using a damp cloth. Stubborn soiling is best removed with a shielded scraper blade.
Then apply a proprietary cleaning agent for ceramic surfaces using a soft cloth or kitchen paper towel. This way any limescale deposits, caused for example by water boiling over, are removed.
Finally wipe the cooktop surface with a damp cloth and then dry it with a clean soft cloth.
Note that some cleaning agents contain a protective additive designed to prevent water marks and smears adhering to the surface.
Do not use washing up liquid on the ceramic surface as it can leave a blue sheen which may be difficult to remove.
