Installation
The minimum distances given in
these Installation instructions are to
combustible surfaces, and must be
observed to ensure safe operation.
Failure to do so increases the risk of
fire.
The cabinetry and venting hood
should be installed first to prevent
damage to the cooktop.
Gas appliances should only be
installed in a well ventilated area.
The countertop must be bonded
with heat resistant (212 °F/100 °C)
adhesive to prevent distortion or
dissolving.
The cooktop should only be
installed as shown in the
illustrations while maintaining the
required safety distances shown. Do
not install the cooktop between two tall
cabinets, this is a fire hazard.
a = indicates cooktop cut-out
b = minimum distance between
cut-out and a tall cabinet:
12" (305 mm)
This appliance has not been
designed for maritime use or for
use in mobile installations such as
recreational vehicles or aircraft.
However, under certain conditions it
may be possible for installation in these
applications. Please contact the Miele
Technical Service Department with
specific requirements.

The cooktop must not be installed
over a dishwasher, washer, dryer,
refrigerator or freezer. Heat radiated by
the cooktop may damage the
appliances.
Deep fat fryers must not be
installed next to gas cooktops. Gas
flames can ignite splattering oil. A
distance of at least 12" (305 mm)
should be maintained between these
two appliances. The minimum distance
between two cooktops must be 4"
(100 mm).
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.
This appliance must be installed
with its own shut off valve and the
included gas pressure regulator.
Both the valve and the regulator
must be easily accessible to the
consumer after the appliance is
installed.
This appliance must be
disconnected from the gas supply
during any pressure testing of the
system performed in excess of
1
/
2
psi (3.5 kPa). This appliance
must be isolated at test pressures
equal to or less than
1
/
2
psi
(3.5 kPa).
Any pipe connections must be made
using a thread sealant approved for
gas connections. Failure to correctly
install these items could lead to a
gas leak and subsequent explosion.
Safety distances above the
appliance
There must be a safety distance of at
least 30" (760 mm), c between the
appliance and any objects above it.
The overhead cabinet depth, d, if
unprotected, must not exceed 13"
(330 mm). The minimum distance of
combustible surfaces located above
and to the sides of the cooktop, e, is
18" (457 mm).
If the cabinet manufacturer
recommends a greater distance, follow
that manufacturers recommendation.
When installing the cooktop under a
venting hood, always observe the
minimum distance recommended by
the hood manufacturer.
Keep this instruction book in a safe
place for reference and pass it on to
any future user.
