IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid damaging the cooktop, make sure that the connection data (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. Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply with a power bar or extension cord. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance. For safety reasons, the cooktop may only be used when it has been fully installed. This appliance must not be used in a non- stationary location (e.g. on a ship). Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical components of the cooktop will endanger your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions. Do not open the casing of the cooktop 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. The appliance is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a remote control system. The connection to the gas supply must be carried out by a qualified service technician in accordance with current local and national safety regulations (see “Installation ­ Gas connection”). If the plug has been removed or the power cord is not supplied with a plug, the cooktop must be connected to the power supply by a qualified service technician (see “Installation ­ Electrical connection”). If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a qualified service technician (see “Installation ­ Electrical connection”).
8

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the appliance
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. Danger of electric shock. Do not use the cooktop if it is faulty, or if the ceramic surface is cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way. Switch it off immediately. Disconnect it from the electricity and gas supply. Contact Miele Service. If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet (e.g., a door), do not close the cabinet door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build up behind the cabinet door when closed. This can result in damage to the cooktop, housing unit, and floor. Leave the cabinet door open until the cooktop has cooled down completely. 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 cooktop.
9

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Correct use The cooktop 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.
WARNING NEVER use this cooktop as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance. Never leave the appliance unattended at high heat settings ­ Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. 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 cooktop 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. The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire. Do not flambé under a ventilation hood. Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances in a drawer under the appliance. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant. Never heat empty cookware. Do not heat or can food in closed containers, such as tins or sealed jars, on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the container and cause it to explode.
10

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the cover will ignite, explode or melt if the cooktop is still hot or if turned on inadvertently. Never cover the cooktop with a board, cloth or protective sheet. When the appliance is turned on inadvertently or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is a risk of the metal items heating up. Other materials can melt or catch fire when the appliance is switched on. Do not store items on the cooktop. You can burn yourself on a hot cooktop. 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. When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near the cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into contact with the hot cooktop. The cable’s insulation could become damaged. Even a light object can cause damage to the ceramic cooktop in certain circumstances. Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high temperatures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum foil cookware. Pressing the knob generates a spark on the ignitor. Do not press the knob while you are cleaning or touching the cooktop or a burner in the vicinity of an ignitor. A ventilation hood installed above the cooktop can become damaged or catch fire as a result of intense heat. Do not use the burners without cookware. Only light the burners after all burner parts have been properly assembled.
11

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If the cookware is too small, it will not sit properly on the burner grate. If the cookware is too large, heat emitted from the bottom of the cookware may damage the countertop, walls with poor heat-resistance (e.g. paneled walls) or portions of the cooktop. 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 cooktop. Always use the burner grates supplied with the cooktop. Never place cookware directly on the burner. Install the burner grates in an upright position to avoid scratching the cooktop. Storage in or on the appliance: Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or in the vicinity of the appliance. Remove all grease splatters and other flammable (food) residues on the cooktop. They are a fire hazard. Using of a gas cooktop causes heat, moisture and products of combustion to build up in the room in which it is installed. Make sure that your kitchen is well ventilated, especially when the appliance is in use: keep any natural means of ventilation open or install a mechanical ventilation system (e.g. a ventilation hood). If the cooktop is used for very long periods of time, additional ventilation of the room may be necessary, e.g. by opening windows or doors, or running the ventilation on the highest setting. Do not use pots or pans that are large enough to cover several burners. The resulting heat buildup can damage the appliance. If the cooktop 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.
12

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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. 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 cooktop. Wind can blow curtains over the cooktop, causing them to catch fire. If the cooktop 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 cooktop without breaking as a result of sudden temperature changes. 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.
13

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Cleaning and maintenance Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
The steam may reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Miele will guarantee to supply functional parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your cooktop.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY

Before first use

Cleaning the cooktop for the first time
Before first use, wipe down the appliance with a damp cloth and dry it.
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”).

Turning on the cooktop for the first time
The metal components have a protective coating. When the cooktop is used for the first time, this causes a smell and possibly also vapor. The smell and any vapors do not indicate a faulty connection or a defective appliance and are not harmful to your health.

19

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 grates or which does not rest in a stable position on the grates (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 gas cooktop 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 the cookware on the grates supplied. Do not place cookware directly on the burner.
– Position the cookware on the grates 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.

20

– 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.

Energy saving tips

21

Operation

Fire hazard due to overheated
food. Unattended food can overheat and ignite. Do not leave the cooktop unattended while it is being used.
Turning the appliance on
Press in the knob and turn it counterclockwise to the large flame symbol. The ignitor “clicks” and ignites the gas.
When a knob is activated, a spark is automatically produced on all burners. This is normal and does not indicate a fault. When a flame is visible, keep the
knob pressed in for 5­10 seconds, and then let it go. If the burner does not ignite, turn the knob to burner off. Ventilate the room or wait for at least 1 minute before trying again. When making another ignition attempt, it may be necessary to press in the knob for longer. If the burner does not ignite the second time, turn the knob back to burner off and see “Frequently asked questions”.

Switching on during a power outage In case of a power outage, the flame can be ignited manually. Press in the relevant control knob and
turn it counterclockwise to the large flame symbol. Hold the control knob pressed down and light the gas at the burner with a match. Keep the control knob pressed down for an additional 5­10 seconds and then release it.

22

Operation

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.

Visual features of gas flames Yellow flames Call Customer Service.
Yellow tips on the outer cone Normal for LP gas
Pale blue flames possibly with yellow tips on the inner cone Normal for natural gas
Switching off
Turn the knob clockwise to burner off.
This stops the flow of gas and the flame goes out.

23

Safety features
Ignition safety
Your cooktop is equipped with an ignition safety control. If a gas flame is extinguished, e.g., by food boiling over or by a draft, the gas supply is switched off. This prevents the release of gas. If you turn the knob to burner off, the burner is ready for use again. The ignition safety control operates independently from the power supply. This means that it will still work if the cooktop is used during a power outage.
24

Cleaning and care

Danger of burning due to hot
surfaces. The cooktop surface, grates, and burners will be hot after use. Allow the cooktop to cool down before cleaning it.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress. The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
All surfaces could be discolored or damaged if unsuitable cleaning agents are used. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Remove all cleaning agent residues immediately. Do not clean with any abrasive or sharp pointed objects.
Food boiling over can cause discoloration of the burner components. Remove any soiling and salt and sugar splashes immediately.

Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of the appliance, do not use: – cleaning agents containing soda, al-
kalines, ammonia, acids, or chlorides, – cleaning agents containing lime scale
remover – stain or rust removers – abrasive cleaning agents, such as
scouring powder, scouring liquid, or pumice stones – cleaning agents containing solvents – dishwasher cleaner – grill and oven sprays – glass cleaners – hard, abrasive brushes or sponges (e.g., pot scourers), or sponges which have been previously used and still contain abrasive cleaning agents – eraser sponges

Pressing the knob generates a spark on the ignitor. Do not press the knob while you are cleaning or touching the cooktop or a burner in the vicinity of an ignitor.

25

Cleaning and care

The entire cooktop should be cleaned after each use.
Soften any stubborn soiling beforehand.
Dry the cooktop after using water to clean it. This helps prevent lime deposits.
Cleaning the tempered glass surface
Risk of damage caused by
pointed objects. The seal between the cooktop and the countertop could be damaged. The seal between the ceramic surface and the frame could be damaged. Do not use pointed objects for cleaning.

cleaning agent while the cooktop is still hot, as this could result in stains. Please follow the cleaning-agent manufacturer’s instructions. Stains caused by limescale or water can be removed using Miele’s ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner. Wipe the surface afterwards with a damp cloth to remove any cleaning agent residues.
Residues can burn on the next time the appliance is used and cause damage to the ceramic glass surface. Ensure that all cleaning-agent residues are removed. Dry the ceramic surface with a clean,
soft cloth.

When cleaning with liquid dish soap, not all contaminants and residues are removed. An invisible film forms, which causes discoloration of the ceramic surface. This discoloration cannot be removed. Clean the ceramic surface regularly with a suitable cleaning agent for ceramic cooktops.
First wipe down the surface with a damp cloth to loosen soiling, then remove stubborn crusting with a glass scraper.
Then clean the ceramic surface with the Miele ceramic and stainless steel cleaner (see “Optional accessories”) or with a proprietary ceramic cleaner applied with paper towels or a clean cloth. Do not apply the
26

Cleaning the grates
Remove the grates. Clean the grates in a dishwasher or
with a solution of warm water and a little liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge. Soften any stubborn soiling beforehand. Dry the the grates thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the knobs
The knobs are not dishwasher-safe. The knobs should only be cleaned by hand.
The knobs may become discolored if they are not cleaned regularly. Clean the knobs after each use.
Clean the knobs with a soft sponge, warm water, and a small amount of liquid dish soap.

27

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the burner
Do not clean any parts of the burner in a dishwasher.
The surface of the burner cap will become more matte with time. This is quite normal and does not indicate damage to the burner cap. The burner should be dismantled and
then cleaned only by hand using a solution of warm water and a small amount of liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge. Clean any soiling from the flame openings.
Risk of explosion.
Blocked flame openings can cause a dangerous build-up of gas in the base of the cooktop which could ignite and cause an explosion. This can lead to damage to the appliance and injury. Ensure the flame openings are kept clean at all times. Parts of the burner that cannot be removed should be wiped clean with a damp cloth only. The ignitor and thermocouple should be very carefully wiped clean using a well wrung out cloth. Do not let the ignitor get wet. If it gets wet, it will not spark. Finally dry everything thoroughly with a clean cloth. Make sure that the flame openings are completely dry.
28

Assembling the burner

Cleaning and care
Checking burning properties Ignite all burners to check that they
are operating correctly: – The flame must not go out on the
lowest setting, or when the knob is turned quickly from the highest to the lowest setting. – On the highest setting, the flame must have a distinctive and visible core.

Place the burner head onto the burner base so that the thermocouple and the ignitor extend through their respective holes in the burner head. The burner head must click into place correctly.
Place the burner cap flat over the burner head . When correctly positioned, the burner cap should not slide around. Ensure that all parts of the burner are reassembled in the correct order.

INSTALLATION
Installation
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – INSTALLATION Risk of damage caused by incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can damage the cooktop. The cooktop must only be installed by a qualified specialist.
Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the cooktop when installing cabinetry or a ventilation hood above it. Install the cabinetry and ventilation hood before installing the cooktop.
The room in which the cooktop is installed must conform to all relevant local and national building regulations and safety regulations. The countertop must be heat-resistant (up to 212°F / 100°C), so that it does not become deformed or the veneer detached. The wall strips must be heat-resistant as well. The cooktop must not be installed above refrigerators/freezers, dishwashers, or washer/dryers. A gas cooktop must not be installed directly next to a deep fat fryer as the gas flames could ignite the fat in the fryer. It is essential to maintain a distance of at least 12″ (300 mm) between these two appliances. When installing the cooktop, make sure that the gas pipe and power cord cannot come into contact with hot appliance parts. The power cord and any flexible gas connection pipes must be installed in such a way so that they do not come into contact with any moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer), and cannot become trapped. The cooktop should not be installed with a ventilation system that blows air downward toward the appliance. This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and combustion problems with the cooktop resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.

Seal between cooktop and countertop

Tiled countertop

Installation

Damage caused by incorrect in-
stallation. Using sealant under the cooktop could result in damage to the cooktop and the countertop if the cooktop ever needs to be removed for servicing. Do not use sealant between the cooktop and the countertop. The sealing strip under the edge of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for the countertop.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the cooktop for service purposes may damage the sealing strip underneath the edge of the cooktop. Always replace the sealing strip before reinstalling the cooktop.

Grout lines and the shaded area under the cooktop frame must be smooth and even. If they are not, the cooktop will not sit flush with the countertop and the sealing strip underneath the cooktop will not provide a good seal between the cooktop and the countertop.

Installation

Installation
Preparing the countertop Create the countertop cut-out. Re-
member to maintain the minimum safety distances (see “Installation” ­ “Safety distances”). Seal any cut surfaces on wooden countertops with a special varnish, silicone rubber, or resin to prevent the wood from swelling as a result of moisture. The sealant must be temperature-resistant. Ensure that the sealant does not get on the top surface of the countertop.
The sealing strip ensures that the cooktop will sit securely in the cut-out without slipping. Any gap between the frame and countertop will become smaller over time.

Installing the cooktop Attach the sealing strip provided un-
derneath the edge of the cooktop. Feed the cooktop power cord down
through the countertop cut-out. Place the cooktop in the center of the
cut-out. When doing this, make sure that the seal of the appliance sits flush with the countertop on all sides. This is important to ensure an effective seal all round. If during installation the seal around the frame does not sit flush with the countertop in the corners, the corner radius ( R4) can be carefully filed down to fit.
Do not use any additional sealant (e.g., silicone) on the cooktop.
Connect the cooktop to the power supply (see “Installation ­ Electrical connection”).
Connect the cooktop to the gas supply (see “Installation ­ Gas connection”).

Securing the cooktop

Checking for proper function After installing the appliance, ignite all
burners to check that they are operating correctly: – The flame must not go out on the lowest setting, or when the knob is turned quickly from the highest to the lowest setting. – On the highest setting, the flame must have a distinctive and visible core.

Secure the cooktop using the brackets supplied.

INSTALLATION
Gas connection Connection to the gas supply
may only be performed by a duly authorized technician. This technician is responsible for proper function at the installation site. In Massachusetts, the gas connection may be performed only by a certified gas installer. The appliance must be connected with its own shut-off valve. The shut-off valve must be accessible and visible, after the opening of a cabinet door, if necessary. The gas connection can be to natural gas or propane gas 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 appliance is not connected to an exhaust vent. During the setup and connection of the appliance, observe the applicable installation conditions, especially suitable ventilation measures. Arrange the gas connections in such a way that they are not heated and damaged by the operation of the appliance. In particular, make sure that the gas hose lines and connection fittings on the applinace do not come into contact with hot exhaust gases

Installation
The gas hose and power cord could be damaged by hot spots on the appliance. Make sure that the gas hose and power cord do not come into contact with hot spots on the appliance.
Flexible connection lines can be damaged by incorrect routing. Attach flexible connecting lines in such a way so that they do not come into contact with any moving kitchen parts (e.g., a drawer) and are not exposed to mechanical stress.
Disconnect the appliance and the shut-off valve from the gas supply before performing a gas pressure test at a pressure of more than ½ psi (3.5 kPA). Close the shut-off valve of the gas supply before performing a gas pressure test at a pressure of less than or equal to ½ psi (3.5 kPA).
Incorrectly sealed gas lines can lead to a gas leak and thus to an explosion. Seal all gas lines with a suitable thread sealant.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The gas pressure may not undershoot or exceed certain values. Make sure that the maximum gas pressure upstream of the gas pressure controller does not amount to more than ½ psi (3.5 kPA) for natural and propane gas. Make sure that the minimum gas supply pressure amounts to 6″ w.c. for natural gas and 10″ w.c. for propane gas.

The gas connection of the appliance is designed for natural gas or propane gas according to the ordered model (see adhesive label on the appliance). If the appliance is not equipped with the correct connection for the gas type in your household, contact your Miele dealer. After conversion to a different type of gas, save the jets removed from the cooktop for future use.
