IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A damaged rangetop can be dangerous. Always check for visible
signs of damage. Never use a damaged appliance.
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power
supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronized
with the grid power supply (e.g., island networks, back-up systems)
is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply
system complies with national and local codes.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronized with the grid power supply, or these measures must be
replaced by equivalent measures in the installation.
The electrical safety of the rangetop can only be guaranteed when
it is properly grounded. Compliance with this essential safety
requirement is absolutely mandatory. If in any doubt, please have the
building's wiring system inspected by a qualified electrician.
Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been installed
correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified technician.
Do not operate the appliance until it has been properly installed.
To avoid damaging the rangetop, make sure that the information
(voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the
building's power supply before connecting the appliance.
When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Installation and maintenance of the gas connection must be
performed by qualified installers, service agencies or gas providers.
Do not use a power strip or extension cord to connect the
rangetop to electricity (risk of fire).
This appliance must not be installed and operated in non-
stationary locations (e.g., on a ship).
7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical

Do not open the appliance housing under any circumstances.
Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized service
technician will void the warranty.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can safety of the appliance be assured as
intended by the manufacturer.
During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the rangetop must
be completely disconnected from the household electricity supply. The
gas supply must be shut off. Ensure that this is the case by:
- removing the fuse,
- “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
providers.
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
supply 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.
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.
8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Correct 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 suitable
fire blanket.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires–Smother fire or flame or use
dry chemical or foam-type 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
inadvertently. 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
contact with the hot range. The cable's insulation could become
damaged.
Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high
temperatures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum foil cookware.
9
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
possibility 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
objects 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
rangetop to catch fire.
Do not use the range to heat the room.
Only light the burners after all burner parts have been properly
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
cookware 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
bottom 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.
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Install the burner grates in an upright position to avoid scratching
the cooktop.
Remove all grease splatters and other flammable (food) residues
on the rangetop. They are a fire hazard.
Do not use pots or pans 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
appliance is installed in location with sufficient ventilation. Natural
ventilation 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.
11
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
cooking 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
sudden temperature changes.
Do not use cooking utensils on the grill.
Wet sponges or cloths can cause burns due to hot steam if they
are used to wipe spilled food off a hot cooktop. Some cleansers can
emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be careful
when cleaning the cooktop.
Avoid allowing liquids or foods containing salt to spill onto the
cooktop. If salty foods or liquids do get on the cooktop, they should
be removed as soon as possible to avoid the risk of corrosion.
The following applies to stainless steel surfaces:
Adhesives will damage the coated stainless steel surface and
cause it to lose its dirt-repellent protective coating. Do not use sticky
notes, adhesive tape, or other types of adhesive on the stainless
steel surface.
Magnets can cause scratches. Do not use the stainless steel
surface as a magnetic notice board.
Cleaning and maintenance
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance.
Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short
circuit.

Control panel
Burner knob
With the burner knob, you can ignite the
burner and regulate the flame. The
burners can be variably adjusted
between the lowest and highest
settings.
Depending on the model, the range will
be equipped with Backlit burner control
knobs.
Operation tips
Fire hazard due to overheated
food.
Unattended food can overheat and
ignite.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended
while it is being used.
Do not turn the control knobs to the
right beyond “Off”.
A spark may be generated on all
burners when a control knob is turned
on. This is normal and does not
indicate an appliance defect.
Automatic re-ignition
Your rangetop is equipped with an
automatic 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 reignited.
If there has been a power failure,
the automatic re-ignition feature will
not work properly.
Operate the cooktop only under
supervision. If the burner has not
ignited or the flame goes out, turn off
the burner knob.
A brief reignition may occur during
activation (clicking 1–2 x), e.g., in case
of a draft.
20
Before first use
Cleaning the rangetop for the
first time
Remove any protective foil and
stickers.
Using a soft sponge, clean all
removable burner parts with a
solution of warm water and a small
amount of liquid dish soap. Dry the
parts thoroughly 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
protection against corrosion. Clean
the griddle plate with a soft sponge, a
small amount of dishwashing liquid,
and warm water, and dry it.
Before first use, wipe down the
appliance with a damp cloth and dry
it.
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
indicate a faulty connection or a
defective appliance and are not harmful
to your health.
Seasoning the griddle plate
You must season the griddle plate
before cooking food on it the first
time. This process prevents food from
sticking and protects the surface from
moisture.
Set the griddle plate on “High” for
30minutes.
Switch off the griddle plate after
30minutes and let it cool down.
During heating, the griddle plate
constantly changes color. The
discoloration 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.
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.
Switch off the griddle plate.
When the griddle plate had cooled
down to a hand-warm temperature,
wash off the excess oil.
Repeat the process once the griddle
plate has cooled down completely.
21
Operation of the burners
Fire hazard due to overheated
food.
Unattended food can overheat and
ignite.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended
while it is being used.
Turning on
Do not turn the control knob clockwise
past the “Off” position.
Activating a control knob
automatically produces a spark on all
of the burners. This is normal and
does not indicate a fault.
You may notice a brief re-ignition
(1-2clicks) when turning on the
appliance, e.g. because of a draft.
To ignite a burner, push the
appropriate control knob and turn it
counterclockwise 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.
Vent the room or wait at least
1minute before trying again.
Switching on during a power
outage
If there has been a power failure,
the automatic re-ignition feature will
not work properly.
Operate the cooktop only under
supervision. If the burner has not
ignited or the flame goes out, turn off
the burner knob.
Simmer and power burners
In case of a power failure, the flame
can be ignited manually.
Press in the burner knob and turn it
counterclockwise to “High.”
Light the emerging gas/air mixture
with a match.
Griddle plate
The griddle plate cannot be operated
in case of a power failure.
Turn off the control knob for the
griddle plate.
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” section.
22
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
extend beyond the sides of the
cookware 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
extends up the sides of the
cookware.

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
efficiency.
- Any cookware that has a diameter
smaller than the burner grate or
which does not rest in a stable
position on the grate (without
wobbling) is dangerous and should
not be used.
- Unlike cookware that is used on an
electric cooktop, the bottom of
cookware 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
indicated is typically the top diameter,
not the bottom diameter.
- All heat-resistant cookware is suitable
for use.
- Cookware with a thick bottom is
preferable, 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
frequently.
- 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
always a possibility of a slight tilt,
despite the proper position.
- Do not use pots or pans that have
bottoms with pronounced edges.
25
Energy saving tips
- 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.
26
Operation of the grill
The grill has a ceramic burner that
transfers intense heat to food, searing
the outside to seal the juices. Full
flexibility, depending on the food, from
“Low” to “High” as power settings.
Assembling the grill
Burn hazard!
The burners must be turned off and
allowed to cool completely.
Risk of injury!
The cast-iron grill is heavy.
Carry the grill carefully and place it
securely on a soft base so that it lies
flat.
Place the radiant plate on top of
the frame .
Place the grill into position.
Cleaning and care
Tip: All parts can be disassembled in
the reverse order. You can also remove
the frame for cleaning.
Do not use cooking utensils on the
grill.

Tips for grilling
Fire hazard!
Do not leave the appliance
unattended while cooking!
- Pat down wet food items with paper
towel to prevent splatters during
grilling.
- 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
another spot or remove it entirely.
28
- Remove chicken skin to prevent
sparking.
- Halfway through cooking, brush
marinade onto the food.
- Leave the grill on for another
10minutes after you have finished
grilling. This makes cleaning easier
after cooking.
Operation of the griddle
The griddle is thermostatically
controlled to maintain a consistent
temperature. To prevent food from
sticking, it is necessary to “season” the
griddle prior to use (see “Before using
for the first time”). Full flexibility,
depending on the food, from “Low”,
“Medium” and “High” as power
settings.
During heating, an LP gas griddle
plate can emit a buzzing or growling
sound. This is not an error.
Turning on the griddle
Press the control knob of the griddle
and turn it counterclockwise to
“Low.”
If the burner fails to light, turn the
control knob to the “Off” position. Air
the room or wait at least 1minute
before trying again.
If the second attempt also fails to

Operation of the griddle
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 8-10minutes 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
grilling.
- 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.
30
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

Cleaning and care
Rangetop
The surfaces of the burner
components 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
deposits.
Tip: Food that has cooked over onto a
hot rangetop can cause the burner
components to become discolored.
Immediately 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

test at a pressure of more than
1/2psi (3.5kPA). Close the shut-off
valve of the gas supply before
performing a gas pressure test at a
pressure of less than or equal to
1/2psi (3.5kPA).
Incorrectly sealed gas lines can lead
to a gas leak and thus to an
explosion.
Seal all gas lines with a suitable
thread sealant.
Seal tightness tests on the rangetop
must be performed according to
manufacturer specifications.
