– "tripping" the circuit breaker, or
– unplugging the unit. Pull the plug not the cord.
– Shut off the gas supply and disconnect the rangetop from the gas
supply. Installation and maintenance of the gas connection must
be performed by qualified installers, service agencies or gas pro‐
viders.
Risk of electric shock!
If the rangetop is defective, immediately turn the appliance off and
discontinue use. Disconnect the range from the gas and power sup‐
ply and call Miele Service.
If the rangetop is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the
door while the range is in operation. Heat and moisture can build up
behind the closed door and cause damage to the range, cabinetry,
and flooring. Do not close the door until the range has completely
cooled down.
9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Reaching over a hot stovetop to access the cabinets can result in
burns. You can reduce the risk of burns by installing a range hood
that extends at least 4³/₄" (12 cm) past the bottom of the cabinets.
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Proper use
Do not leave the rangetop unattended when cooking on high
power. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter,
which can ignite on the range.
Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches
fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water.
Turn off the rangetop and smother the flames using a lid or a suita‐
ble fire blanket.
Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing
agent or foam fire extinguisher.
Storage in or on the appliance: Flammable materials should not
be stored in an oven or in the vicinity of the rangetop.
The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on
fire. Do not flambé under a ventilation hood.
Never heat empty cookware.
Do not heat up food in closed containers, as pressure will build up
in the container, causing them to explode. Do not use the rangetop
to boil or heat up cans.
If the rangetop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the
cover will ignite, explode or if the range is still hot or if turned on in‐
advertently. Never cover the range with a board, cloth, or protective
sheet.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g., a hand mixer, near the
rangetop, make sure that the power cable does not come into con‐
tact with the hot range. The cable's insulation could become dam‐
aged.
Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high tem‐
peratures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum foil cookware.
11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The rangetop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time
after being turned off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a possi‐
bility that it could still be hot.
You can burn yourself on a hot rangetop. When cooking on the
appliance, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders or
oven mitts. Only use dry pot holders or gloves. Wet or damp textiles
conduct heat more effectively and produce steam, which poses a
burn hazard. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the gas flames.
Do not use oversized cloths, dish towels or other similar materials.
If the rangetop is accidentally turned on or is still hot, metal ob‐
jects on the appliance can heat up. Other items may melt or catch
fire. Do not place unused items on the range for storage!
A range hood installed above the range can become damaged or
catch fire as a result of intense heat. Do not use the gas burners
without cookware.
The high temperatures radiated could cause objects near the ran‐
getop to catch fire.
Do not use the range to heat the room.
Only light the gas burners after all burner parts have been proper‐
ly assembled.
If the cookware is too small, it will not sit properly on the burner. If
the cookware is too large, heat emitted from the bottom of the cook‐
ware may damage the counter, walls with poor heat resistance (e.g.,
paneled walls), or portions of the rangetop.
Make sure that the burner flames do not extend beyond the bot‐
tom of the cookware and rise up its sides.
Only use cookware with a thick enough bottom. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the rangetop.
Always use the burner grates supplied with the cooktop. Never
place cookware directly on the burner.
12
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove all grease splatters and other flammable (food) residues
on the rangetop. They are a fire hazard.
Install the burner grates in an upright position to avoid scratching
the cooktop.
Do not use roasting dishes, pans, or grilling stones that are large
enough to cover several burners. The resulting heat buildup can
damage the appliance.
If the rangetop has not been used for a long period of time, be
sure to thoroughly clean it and have it inspected by an authorized
technician before using it again.
The use of the rangetop creates heat, moisture and combustion
products in the room where it is installed. Make sure that the appli‐
ance is installed in location with sufficient ventilation. Natural ventila‐
tion openings should not be blocked. Alternatively, a mechanical
ventilation device (e.g. a range hood) can be installed.
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may require additional
ventilation of the room, e.g., by opening a window, or by turning the
range hood to a higher setting.
Ask your installer to show you the location of your gas shutoff
valve and fuses or circuit breaker panel in your apartment or home.
Be sure that you know how and where to disconnect the gas and
power supply to your rangetop.
Ensure that the igniters are clean and dry to allow the burners to
ignite and burn properly.
Fire hazard! Loose-fitting or hanging garments can catch fire. Be
sure to wear appropriately fitting clothing when cooking. Never allow
loose clothing or flammable materials to come into contact with the
burners while the burners are in use.
When you have finished cooking, make sure that the burners are
turned off by checking the position of the knobs.
13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The grates, burner cap, bottom parts of the burner, and any other
parts located near the burner flame, can still be very hot after cook‐
ing and cause burns. Do not touch these components when using
the rangetop.
Wind can blow curtains over the rangetop, causing them to catch
fire. If the range is installed near a window, do not use long curtains.
Only certain types of glass, ceramic or other enamel cookware
can be used on a gas rangetop without breaking as a result of sud‐
den temperature changes.
Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if they
are used to wipe spilled food off a hot burner. Some cleansers can
emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be care‐
ful when cleaning the cooktop.
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance.
Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short cir‐
cuit.

Operation tips
Fire hazard!
Do not leave the appliance unattend‐
ed while cooking!
To not turn the control knobs to the
right beyond "Off."
It can occur that a brief re-ignition oc‐
curs during activation (clicking 1–2 x),
e.g., in case of a draft.
Activating a control knob automatical‐
ly produces a spark on all of the burn‐
ers. This is normal and does not indi‐
cate a fault.
Automatic re-ignition
Your rangetop is equipped with an au‐
tomatic re-ignition function. If the flame
goes out, e.g. because food has
cooked over or there has been an air
draft, the flame is automatically re-ignit‐
ed.
If there has been a loss of pow‐
er, the automatic re-ignition feature
will not work properly. Do not use
the rangetop during a power outage.
Turn the burner control knob to the
"Off" position.
22
Before using for the first time
Cleaning the rangetop for the first time
Remove any protective foil and stick‐
ers.
Using a soft sponge, clean all remov‐
able burner parts with a solution of
warm water and a small amount of
liquid dish soap. Dry the parts thor‐
oughly after cleaning and reassemble
the burners (see "Cleaning and
care").
Remove the grilling grate and, using a
soft sponge, clean it with a solution
of warm water and a small amount of
dishwashing liquid. Dry it thoroughly
after cleaning.
The griddle plate is oiled for protec‐
tion against corrosion. Clean the grid‐
dle plate with a soft sponge, a small
amount of dishwashing liquid, and
warm water, and dry it.
Before first use, wipe down the appli‐
ance with a damp cloth and dry it.
Seasoning the griddle plate
You must season the griddle plate be‐
fore cooking food on it the first time.
This process prevents food from stick‐
ing and protects the surface from
moisture.
Set the griddle plate on "High" for
30 minutes.
Turn off the griddle plate after 30 mi‐
nutes and let it cool down.
During heating, the griddle plate con‐
stantly changes color. The discolora‐
tion may become more intensive over
time. The properties of the griddle
plate, however, are not impaired in this
manner.
Pour 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil that
can be heated to a high temperature
in the middle of the cooled griddle
plate and distribute it with a paper
towel, leaving out the corners of the
plate.
Metal components are protected by a
conditioning agent. Smells and vapor
may occur when the appliance is used
for the first time.
The smell and any vapors do not indi‐
cate a faulty connection or a defective
appliance and are not harmful to your
health.
Do not use too much oil. Excess oil
leaves a rubbery substance on the
plate that has to be removed.
Remove any excess oil with a paper
towel.
Heat the griddle plate on "High" until
it starts to smoke.
Turn off the griddle plate.
When the griddle plate has cooled
down to a safe temperature, wash off
the excess oil.
Repeat the process once the griddle
plate has cooled down completely.
23
Operation of the burners
Turning on
To ignite a burner, push the appropri‐
ate control knob and turn it counter‐
clockwise to the "High" position. The
ignitor "clicks" and ignites the gas.
If the burner fails to light, turn the
control knob to the "Off" position. Air
the room or wait at least 1 minute be‐
fore trying again.
If the second attempt also fails to
light the burner, turn the control knob
to the "Off" position and refer to the
"Frequently asked questions" sec‐
tion.

Light the emerging gas/air mixture
with a match.
24
Operation of the burners
Adjusting the flame
The burners can be variably adjusted
between the lowest and highest flame
settings.
Because the edges of the flame are
much hotter than its center, the flame
tips should stay beneath the bottom
of the cookware. Flame tips which ex‐
tend beyond the sides of the cook‐
ware emit unnecessary heat into the
room and can also damage cookware
handles, which increases the risk of
injury.
Adjust the flame so that it never ex‐
tends up the sides of the cookware.

ment.
Turning off
Do not turn the control knob clock‐
wise past the "Off" position.
Turn the control knob to the right until
it reaches the "Off" position.
This stops the flow of gas, and the
flame goes out.

Cookware
– Select cookware that fits the size of
the burner:
Large diameter = large burner
Small diameter = small burner
– Using cookware that is too large can
cause the flames to spread out and
damage the surrounding countertop
or other appliances. Choosing the
right cookware size improves effi‐
ciency.
– Any cookware that has a diameter
smaller than the burner grate or
which does not rest in a stable posi‐
tion on the grate (without wobbling) is
dangerous and should not be used.
– Unlike cookware that is used on an
electric cooktop, the bottom of cook‐
ware used on a rangetop does not
have to be flat to deliver effective
cooking performance.
– When purchasing pots and pans,
keep in mind that the diameter indi‐
cated is typically the top diameter,
not the bottom diameter.
– Do not use pots or pans that have
bottoms with pronounced edges.
– All heat-resistant cookware is suita‐
ble for use.
– Cookware with a thick bottom is pref‐
erable, as it distributes heat more
evenly. Cookware with a thin bottom
may cause food to overheat in certain
spots. To avoid this, stir the food fre‐
quently.
– Always place cookware on the burner
grate supplied with the rangetop.
Never place it directly on the burner.
– Position the cookware on the burner
grate so that it cannot tip. There is al‐
ways a possibility of a slight tilt, de‐
spite the proper position.
26
– Whenever possible, keep pots and
pans covered while cooking. Doing
so will prevent unnecessary heat
loss.
– Wide, shallow cookware heats up
faster and is therefore preferable to
tall, narrow cookware.
– Cook with as little water as possible.
– Reduce the power setting once the
water has come to a boil or the oil/fat
is hot enough for frying.
– Use a pressure cooker to reduce the
cooking time.

Tips for grilling
Fire hazard!
Do not leave the appliance unattend‐
ed while cooking!
– Pat down wet food items with paper
towel to prevent splatters during grill‐
ing.
– Do not salt meat until after grilling, or
it will be too dry.
– Select lean mean or cut off fat before
grilling. Dripping fat can catch on fire.
– If dripping fat catches on fire, use
grilling tongs to move the meat to an‐
other spot or remove it entirely.
– Remove chicken skin to prevent
sparking.
– Halfway through cooking, brush mari‐
nade onto the food.
– Leave the grill on for another 10 mi‐
nutes after you have finished grilling.
This makes cleaning easier after
cooking.

Tips for frying
Before each use, wipe the griddle
with a damp cloth to remove dust or
other residue.
– Pre-heat the griddle plate thoroughly
for 8–10 minutes at the power level
that you are going to be using for
cooking.
– Pat down wet food items with paper
towel to prevent splatters during grill‐
ing.
– Do not salt meat until after grilling, or
it will be too dry.
– For cooking with the griddle plate,
you need only a little fat or none in
the case of marinated food. If you
use cooking fat, do not put it on the
griddle plate until it is hot.
– Only use fats/oils that can tolerate
high temperatures.
– Marinating often improves the flavor
of food to be cooked.

Cleaning and care
Danger of burns!
The burners must be turned off and
the rangetop must be cooled.
Danger of injury!
The steam from a steam cleaner
could reach electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the rangetop.
All rangetop surfaces can become
discolored or damaged if unsuitable
cleaning agents are used.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching.
Remove any cleaning agent residues
immediately.
Always clean the rangetop after each
use. Allow it to cool down before clean‐
ing.
To better maintain your appliance avoid
the following:
– cleaners containing soda, ammonia,
thinners, or chlorides
– descaling agents
– Stain or rust removers
– Abrasive cleaning agents (e.g., pow‐
der or cream cleansers, pumice
stones)
– solvent-based cleaners
– dishwasher detergent
– grill and oven sprays
– glass cleaning agents
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g. pot scrubbers or scrub spong‐
es, sponges which have previously
been used with abrasive cleaning
agents)
– sharp objects
(these could damage the seals be‐
tween the ceramic and the frame or
between the frame and the counter‐
top).
33
Cleaning and care
Rangetop
The surfaces of the burner compo‐
nents and grates will slightly lose their
luster over time. This is completely
normal and does not indicate damage
to the material.
Clean the entire rangetop after each
use with a soft sponge, warm water
and a small amount of liquid dish
soap.
Pre-soak any stubborn dirt or grime
before cleaning.
Dry the rangetop after using water to
clean it. This helps prevent lime de‐
posits.
Tip: Food that has cooked over onto a
hot rangetop can cause the burner
components to become discolored. Im‐
mediately remove all spilled food and
all salt or sugar splatters!
Dishwasher-safe grates
Remove the burner grates.
Clean the grates in the dishwasher or
using a soft sponge with warm water
and a small amount of liquid dish
soap.
Burner control knobs with stainless steel finish
The burner control knobs may be‐
come discolored if they are not
cleaned regularly.
Do not clean the burner control
knobs in a dishwasher or with a
stainless steel cleaner.
Clean the knobs with a soft sponge,
warm water and a small amount of
liquid dish soap.
Simmer burner / Power burners
The burner cap is not dishwashersafe.
Make sure that the flame holes are
completely dry after cleaning.
Remove the burner cap.
Clean the burner cap using a soft
sponge, warm water and a small
amount of liquid dish soap.
All parts of the burner which cannot
be removed should be wiped down
with a damp cloth.
Ignitor
If necessary, the rough side of a
kitchen sponge can be used.
34
Do not allow the ignitor to become
wet. If it is wet, it will not spark.
Gently wipe down the ignitor clean
using a damp cloth.
Cleaning and care
Cleaning the dishwasher-safe grilling grate
Clean the grilling grate in the dish‐
washer or with warm water and liquid
dish soap. When the grilling rack is
strongly soiled, soak it and then re‐
move the soiling with a brush. After
that, let the rack dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the griddle plate
Burn hazard!
Allow the griddle plate to cool down
sufficiently before cleaning it.
Fire hazard!
Clean the grease catch pan after ev‐
ery use of the griddle plate.
Loosen coarse soiling immediately
with a spatula and scratch grease
and residue into the grease catch
pan.
Clean the grease catch pan with a
soft sponge, dishwashing liquid, and
warm water. Dry it thoroughly after
cleaning.
Wipe off the griddle plate with clean
water and dry it with a clean, dry
cloth.
Rub some vegetable oil into the grid‐
dle plate after every cleaning.
Put the grease catch pan back into
place.
Remove any excess grease with a
paper towel.
Then let the griddle plate cool until it
is safe to the touch, add some hot,
soapy dishwater, and let the grime
soak.
Remove any soiling and water with a
sponge.
You can clean stubborn soiling off the
griddle plate with the rough side of a
dish sponge and a few drops of Miele
ceramic and stainless steel cleaner
(see "Optional accessories").
Remove the grease catch pan and
empty it.

Gas connection
Connection to the gas supply
and any switchover to a different gas
type may only be performed by a du‐
ly authorized gas company techni‐
cian. This technician is responsible
for proper function at the installation
site.
In Massachusetts installation must
be performed by a licensed
plumber/gas fitter.
The rangetop must be connected
with its own shut-off valve.
The shut-off valve must be accessi‐
ble and visible, after the opening of a
cabinet door, if necessary.
The gas connection of the rangetop
can be to natural gas or liquid gas
(propane) according to the model.
Ask your gas company what kind of
gas is used and compare it with the
specifications on the data plate.
The rangetop is not connected to an
exhaust vent.
During the setup and connection of
the rangetop, observe the applicable
installation conditions, especially
suitable ventilation measures.
The gas connections must be ar‐
ranged in such a way that they are
not heated and damaged by the op‐
eration of the range.
In particular, make sure that the gas
hose lines and connection fittings on
the rangetop do not come into con‐
tact with hot exhaust gases.
The gas hose and power cord could
be damaged by hot spots on the
rangetop.
Make sure that the gas hose and
power cord do not come into con‐
tact with hot spots on the rangetop.
Flexible connection lines can be
damaged by incorrect routing.

such a way so that they do not come
into contact with any moving kitchen
parts (e.g., a drawer) and are not ex‐
posed to mechanical stress.
The rangetop and the shut-off valve
must be disconnected from the gas
supply during gas pressure tests.
Disconnect the rangetop and the
shut-off valve from the gas supply
before performing a gas pressure
test at a pressure of more than
1/2 psi (3.5 kPA). Close the shut-off
valve of the gas supply before per‐
forming a gas pressure test at a
pressure of less than or equal to
1/2 psi (3.5 kPA).
Incorrectly sealed gas lines can lead
to a gas leak and thus to an explo‐
sion.
Seal all gas lines with a suitable
thread sealant.
Seal tightness tests on the rangetop
must be performed according to
manufacturer specifications.
47
Gas connection
The gas connection must be made in
accordance with local codes or, in

ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54 for the USA
or the current Can / CGA B 149.1
and .2 Installation Codes for gas
burning appliances for Canada.
The gas pressure may not under‐
shoot or exceed certain values.
Make sure that the maximum gas
pressure upstream of the gas pres‐
sure controller does not amount to
more than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPA) for natu‐
ral and propane gas.
Make sure that the minimum gas
pressure amounts to a 6" water head
in the case of natural gas and a 11"
water head in the case of propane
gas.
The gas connection of the rangetop is
designed for natural gas or liquid gas
(propane) according to the ordered
model.
If the rangetop is not equipped with the
correct connection for the gas type in
your household, contact your Miele
