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 an installation in these

applications. Please contact the

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.

~Take care that drafts do not blow

flammable material toward the flames

or push the flames so that they extend

beyond the edges of the pan.

~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 with too large of a

bottom diameter. 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 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, combustibles

and / or any other easily 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 them.

~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 leave children unattended in

an area where the appliance is in use.

~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

clothing 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. Overheated

food can 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 pan handles and

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

turn off the appliance immediately. Turn

off the gas shut off valve, and

disconnect completely from the

electrical supply. Contact the Miele

Technical Service Department.

Do not use the appliance until it has

been repaired.

Ensure power is not supplied to the

appliance while repair work is carried

out.

~Any breakages or cracks in the

ceramic surface of the appliance are

defects and must be treated as such.

Do not use the appliance until it has

been repaired.

~Repairs should only be performed

by qualified technicians to ensure

safety. Repairs and other work by

unqualified persons could be

dangerous. Under no circumstance

Guide to the cooktop

Cleaning the cooktop

Before using for the first time clean the

appliance as follows:

^Wash the removable parts of the gas

burner in a mild solution of warm

water and liquid dish soap.

^Wipe dry and reassemble them in the

proper order (see the "Cleaning and

Care" section).

^Wipe the cooktop surface 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.

Before using the cooktop

Turning on and off

The control knobs are used to turn the

burners on and to regulate the strength

of the flames.

ßCooktop is turned off

&Highest flame

/Lowest flame

Turning on

^To turn on the burner, press the

control knob down and turn it

counterclockwise to the large flame

symbol. The ignitor will click and

ignite the gas.

^When the flame appears, keep the

control knob pressed in for

8-10 seconds to allow the Ignition

Safety Control to reach operating

temperature and release it.

If the flame goes out, repeat the above

procedure, keeping the control knob

pressed in for a few extra seconds.

^Adjust the knob to the desired

setting.

Since the outer portion of the flame is

much hotter than the center, the flame

should be set so that its tips do not

extend beyond the sides of the pan.

Flame tips which extend beyond the

sides of the pan are hazardous.

Turning off

^Turn the knob clockwise to "ß".

This stops the flow of gas and turns off

the burner.

The knob must only be turned left to

turn the appliance on and right to

turn it off.

If the knob is turned:

- on without pressing it down first,

- clockwise past the 12 o’clock

position, or

- counterclockwise past the smallest

flame symbol,

parts of the cooktop may be

damaged. The manufacturer cannot

be held responsible for these

damages.
