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.

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, use the

trivet for smaller pans.

Do not store aerosols,

combustibles and/or any other

easily flammable materials underneath

or adjacent to the cooktop.

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.

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 childrens reach.

Only use 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 when operating the

cooktop, they may 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.

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.

Be careful when preparing a

flambé beneath the hood. Flames

could be drawn up into the hood by the

suction and ignite the grease filters.

The flame should be the same size

as the bottom of the pan. Do not

use small pans with high flame settings,

the flames may 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 a

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 they must be

made of heat-resistant material.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Damage to the appliance

In the event of damage or a defect,

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 circumstances

should the outer casing of the

appliance be opened.

While the appliance is under

warranty repairs should only be

performed by a Miele authorized

service technician. Otherwise the

warranty is void.

Further safety notes

When using a portable appliance

near the cooktop, make sure that

its power cord does not come in

contact with the cooktop.

Do not use containers made of

plastic or aluminum. They melt at

high temperatures.

Do not heat empty pots or pans,

they may be damaged.

Do not use a wok pan with a

diameter of more than 16".

Before discarding an old

appliance, disconnect it from the

gas and electrical supply, cut off the

power cord and remove any doors to

prevent hazards.

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.

^Dry and reassemble the parts in the

proper order (see the "Cleaning and

care" section).

^The ceramic surface can be cleaned

using water or a ceramic cooktop

cleaner and then wiped dry with a

soft cloth.

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 / Regulating

The control knob is used to turn on the

burner and to regulate the strength of

the flame.

Turning on

^To turn on the burner, press the

control knob down and turn it

counterclockwise to the largest 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. Release the knob.

If the flame goes out, repeat the above

procedure, keeping the control knob

pressed in for a few extra seconds.

^Release the knob and adjust it to the

desired setting.

Regulating the burners

The inner and outer burners are both

controlled by one control knob. There is

a stop at the 6 o’clock position that

requires you to press the knob down

while turning it in order to get from the

high flame to the low flame zone.

^To reduce the flames from a high to

low setting, turn the control knob

counterclockwise until you feel

resistance. Press the knob down to

pass the stop, then release the

pressure and set the cooktop to the

desired setting.

^To increase the flames from a low to

high setting, turn the control knob

clockwise until you feel resistance.

Press the knob down to pass the

stop, then release the pressure and

set the cooktop to the desired

setting.
