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. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by the lack, or inadequacy, of an effective grounding system.
Install the appliance so that the power cord or gas piping does not
come into contact with any portion of the cooktop which may become hot during use.
Do not connect the appliance to the main electrical supply using an
extension cord. Extension cords do not meet the safety requirements of this appliance.
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. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by improper use of the cooktop.
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.
For safety reasons never use the cooktop to warm the room.
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 a sudden temperature change.
Do not store aerosols, gasoline, combustibles or any other
flammable materials underneath or adjacent to the cooktop.
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.
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface of the appliance.
Although the ceramic glass is shock and scratch resistant, it is not shock or scratch proof.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Personal safety
The burners become very hot when in use. Make sure that no one
comes in contact with the burners.
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 while operating the
cooktop, they 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 let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate
on the appliance.
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 handles of 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
any 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 heat-resistant material.

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.

Using the cooktop
Fast-Ignition-System |
Auxiliary / Normal / Fast burner |
The gas cooktops are equipped with a Fast-Ignition-System which incorporates the following features:
–The control knob can be released once it is turned to the largest flame symbol.
–If the flame goes out during use, e.g. from a draft, the burner will automatically reignite.
If reignition is unsuccessful, the gas supply will automatically be cut (see "Safety feature").
As a result of the Fast-Ignition-System, the ignition stays activated for a few seconds, even when the flame is already lit.
–To prevent a gas leak, the Fast-Ignition-System will click until the safety thermostat is activated.
Turning on and off / Regulating
The control knob is used to light the burner and to regulate the strength of the flame.
