In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty. DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE. This cooktop is not suitable for installation and operation with aftermarket lids or covers fitted.
10

Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time after being switched off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a possibility that it could still be hot. DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE AS A SPACE HEATER. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the cooktop when it is in use could catch fire. Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite, do not attempt to put the flames out with water. Switch off the cooktop and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames. The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be supervised continuously. Flames could set the grease filters of a rangehood on fire. Do not flambé under a rangehood. DO NOT USE OR STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN THE APPLIANCE STORAGE DRAWER OR NEAR THIS APPLIANCE. CUTLERY INSERTS MUST BE HEAT-RESISTANT. DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION. Do not heat an empty pan. Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars on the cooktop, as pressure can build up in the containers, causing them to explode. Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth or protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the cooktop is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
11

Warning and Safety instructions When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of any metal items placed on the cooktop (e.g. cutlery) heating up. Depending on the material, other items left on the appliance could also melt or catch fire. Do not use the appliance as a resting place for anything else. You could burn yourself on the hot appliance. Protect your hands with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself on steam. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the gas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, tea towels or other similar materials. When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food mixer, near the cooktop, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot come into contact with the hot cooktop. The insulation on the cable could become damaged. Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures. Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the cooktop. When a control knob is pressed down, a spark is generated on the ignitor. Do not press down the control knob while you are cleaning or touching the cooktop or a burner in the vicinity of an ignitor. A rangehood installed above the cooktop can be damaged or catch fire as a result of intense heat. Do not use the burners without cookware in place. Switch the burner off when a pan is removed, even for a short time. Make sure all the components of the gas burner have been correctly assembled before switching on.
12

Warning and Safety instructions
Pans must be the correct size for the burner they are used on (see “Suitable cookware”). A pan which is too small will be unstable on the pan support. If the pan diameter is too large, flames can spread out to the sides and damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings or surrounding units and also parts of the cooktop. Miele cannot be held liable for this type of damage. Ensure that the flames from the burner do not spread out beyond the base and up the sides of the pan. Do not use pans with very thin bases on this cooktop, and never heat up empty pans as they could get damaged. This could also damage the appliance. The pan supports supplied with the appliance must always be used. Never place a pan on the burner itself. Replace the pan supports carefully to avoid scratching the surface of the cooktop. Remove all grease spatters and other combustible (food) residues from the cooktop as soon as possible. They are a fire hazard. 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 use of the gas cooktop creates heat, moisture and combustion products in the room where it is installed. Make sure that the appliance is installed in a location with sufficient ventilation. Natural ventilation openings should not be blocked. Alternatively, a mechanical ventilation device (e.g. a rangehood) can be installed. 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 rangehood on the highest setting. Do not use roasting dishes, pans or grilling stones that are large enough to cover more than one burner. The resulting build-up of heat could damage the appliance.
13

Warning and Safety instructions If the appliance has not been used for a long period of time it
should be thoroughly cleaned before it is used again. It is also advisable to have the appliance tested by a qualified person for safety. Cleaning and care Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your cooktop.
14

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled. Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

– Select cookware that fits the size of the burner: large diameter = large burner small diameter = small burner
– Refer to the chart above and ensure that the pan diameter falls within the minimum and maximum diameters given for the burner you are using. Using cookware that is too large can cause the flames to spread out and damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings or surrounding units and also parts of the cooktop or other appliances. Using pans of the correct size improves efficiency. Any cookware that has a diameter smaller than the pan supports or that does not rest safely (without wobbling) on the pan supports is dangerous and should not be used.
– A wok burner is particularly suitable for wok pans. Do not allow the base of the wok pan to come into contact with the burner. There must be a gap of at least 1 cm between the burner and the base of the pan.
– Unlike pans that are used on an electric cooktop, the bottom of pans used on a gas cooktop do not have to be flat to deliver good cooking results.
– Remember when purchasing new pans that manufacturers usually refer to the diameter at the top of the pan in their documentation.
– Any heat-resistant cookware can be used on a gas burner.

Suitable cookware

– Cookware with a thick base is preferable, as it distributes heat more evenly. Cookware with a thin base may cause food to overheat in some places. To avoid this, stir the food frequently.
– Always place cookware on the pan supports supplied with the appliance. Never place it directly on the burners.
– Position the cookware centrally on the pan support so that it sits securely and cannot tip. There might still be slight movement, which is not a cause for concern.Use the wok ring to give additional stability to pans, especially to woks with a rounded base.
Place the wok ring on the pan support so that it sits securely in position and cannot move (see diagram).

– Do not use pots or pans with base supports.

Combination trivet
The combination trivet must be used if you are using large pans on the wok burner of a flush fit cooktop. This minimises the likelihood of damage to the worktop and/or discolouration on the stainless steel surface.

23

Tips on saving energy
– Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss.
– Wide, shallow pans are preferable to tall, narrow ones. They will heat up faster.
– Cook with as little water as possible. – Reduce the power setting once the
water has come to the boil or the oil is hot enough to fry in. – Use a pressure cooker to reduce cooking times.
24

Operation

Risk of fire with overheated food!
Unattended food can overheat and ignite. Do not leave the cooktop unattended whilst it is being used.
Rapid ignition system
The appliance is supplied with a rapid ignition system with the following features: – Rapid ignition without the need to
hold the control. – Automatic re-ignition
If the flame is extinguished, e.g. by a draught, the burner is automatically relit. If re-ignition is unsuccessful, the gas supply is automatically cut off (see “Thermo-electric flame failure device”).
If there is a power outage, the rapid ignition automatic re-ignition features will not work.

Switching on
Press the control lightly and turn it anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol.
Then press it down firmly to open the gas supply and let it go.
The ignition electrode will “click” and ignite the gas.
When a control knob is activated, a spark is automatically generated on all burners. This is normal and does not indicate a fault. If the burner does not ignite, turn the
knob to the burner off position. Ventilate the room or wait for at least 1 minute before trying again. If the burner does not ignite the second time, turn the knob back to the burner off position and see “Problem solving guide”.
You may notice a brief re-ignition (1­ 2 clicks) when turning on the appliance, e.g. because of a draft.

Operation

Switching on during a power outage If there is an interruption to the electricity supply, the gas can be ignited manually, e.g. with a match. Press down the relevant control knob
and turn it anti-clockwise 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 a further 5-10 seconds and then release it.

Adjusting the flame
The burners can be regulated at any level between the strongest and weakest flame.
As the outer part of the flame is much hotter than the centre, the tips of the flames should stay beneath the pan base. Flame tips which extend beyond the sides of the pan merely warm up the air in the room and can also damage pan handles and increase the danger of injury.

Adjust the flame so that it does not spread out beyond the sides of the pan.
Switching off
Turn the knob clockwise to the burner off position.
This stops the flow of gas and extinguishes the flame.

26

Thermo-electric flame failure device
The cooktop is equipped with a flame failure device. If a gas flame is extinguished, e.g. by food boiling over or by a draught, and re-ignition does not work, the gas supply is switched off. This prevents the release of gas. If you turn the knob to the burner off position, the burner is ready for use again.
The flame failure device operates independently from the electricity supply. This means that it will still work if the cooktop is used during a power cut.

Safety features

27

Cleaning and care

Risk of burning due to hot
surfaces. The cooktop surface, pan supports 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 live electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
All surfaces could be discoloured or damaged if unsuitable cleaning agents are used. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Remove all cleaning agent residues immediately. Never use abrasive sponges or cleaning agents.
Food boiling over on a hot cooktop 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,
alkalines, ammonia, acids or chlorides – cleaning agents containing descaling agents – stain and rust removers – abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream cleaners – solvent-based cleaning agents – dishwasher cleaner – oven sprays – grill and oven cleaners – glass cleaning agents – hard, abrasive brushes or sponges (e.g. pot scourers), or sponges which have been previously used and still contain abrasive cleaning agents – dirt erasers

When a control knob is pressed down, a spark is generated on the ignitor. Do not press down the control knob while you are cleaning or touching the cooktop or a burner in the vicinity of an ignitor.

28

Cleaning and care

The entire cooktop should be cleaned after each use.
Stubborn soiling should be soaked first.
Dry the cooktop after using water to clean it. This helps prevent limescale deposits.

Cleaning the stainless steel surface
Risk of damage by pointed
objects. The seal between the cooktop and the worktop could be damaged. Do not use pointed objects for cleaning.

Damage due to soiling.
Soiling, particularly salty food or liquid and olive oil, can cause damage if left on the printed surfaces for a long time. Remove such soiling immediately.

Damage caused by incorrect
cleaning. Stainless steel cleaning agents rub off the printed symbols. Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on printed symbols.
Clean stainless steel surfaces using a solution of warm water and a little dishwashing liquid applied with a soft sponge. Stubborn soiling should be soaked first. If necessary, the rough side of a non-scouring sponge can be used.
Finally, dry with a clean soft cloth.

29

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the pan supports
Remove the pan supports. Clean the pan supports in the
dishwasher or with a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge. Stubborn soiling should be soaked first. After cleaning, dry the pan supports thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Cleaning the control knob(s)
The control knobs are not dishwasher-safe. The control knobs should only be cleaned by hand.
The control knobs may become discoloured if they are not cleaned regularly. Clean the control knobs after each use.

Clean the knobs using a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge.

30

Cleaning the burner(s)
Do not clean any parts of the burners in a dishwasher.
The surface of the burner caps will become more matt over time. This is normal and does not indicate damage to the burner caps. Nor will it affect the operation of the cooktop. The burner should be dismantled and
then cleaned by hand using a solution of warm water and a little dishwashing liquid applied with a soft sponge. Clean any soiling from the flame openings.
Danger 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 the flame failure device 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.

Safety instructions for installation Risk of damage from incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to the cooktop. The cooktop must only be installed by a qualified person.
Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the cooktop when fitting wall units or a rangehood above it. Fit the wall units and the rangehood before the cooktop.
The room in which the cooktop is installed must conform to all relevant local and national building regulations and safety regulations. The veneer or laminate coatings of worktops (or adjacent kitchen units) must be treated with 100 °C heat-resistant adhesive which will not dissolve or distort. Any splashbacks must be of heat-resistant material. The cooktop must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer. 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 300 mm between these two appliances. When installing the cooktop, make sure that the gas hose and electrical connection cable cannot come into contact with hot appliance parts. The electrical cable 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. Carefully observe the safety clearances listed on the following pages.

Safety distances
Safety distance above the cooktop
The safety distance specified by the manufacturer of the rangehood must be maintained between the cooktop and the rangehood above it. If the manufacturer’s instructions are not available for the rangehood, a minimum safety distance as specified in AS/NZS 5601.1 must be maintained. For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety distance in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1 must be maintained between these objects and the cooktop below.
When two or more appliances which have different safety distances are installed together below a rangehood, observe the greatest specified safety distance.

Safety distances to the sides and back of the appliance Ideally the appliance should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and a tall unit or wall on one side (right or left). On the other side, however, no tall unit or wall should stand higher than the appliance. Before installing the appliance, check that the location provides the required clearances from combustible material and, if necessary, provide protection to adjacent surfaces as required by regulations. A gas appliance shall be installed such that the surface temperature of any nearby combustible surface will not exceed 65 °C above ambient. The minimum horizontal clearance from a combustible surface to the periphery of any gas burner must comply with AS/ NZS 5601.1. If that horizontal clearance is less than the required distance, that vertical surface must be protected by a noncombustible material in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1.
Combustible surface: A material which will ignite and burn, and includes material which has been flameproofed.

Installation notes
A flush-fit cooktop is suitable only for installation in natural stone (granite, marble), solid wood and tiled worktops. Certain models are also suitable for building into glass worktops ­ these are marked with an appropriate note in “Installation ­ Installation dimensions”. When using a worktop made from any other material, please check first with the worktop manufacturer that it is suitable for installing a flush-fit cooktop. The internal width of the base unit underneath the appliance must be at least as wide as the inner worktop cutout (see “Installation ­ Installation dimensions”), so that the cooktop is easily accessible from underneath after installation and the bottom half of the casing can be removed for maintenance. If the underside of the cooktop is not freely accessible after installation, any sealant used to plug the gaps around the appliance must be removed to enable the cooktop to be lifted out of the cut-out should this be necessary.

Natural stone worktops The cooktop is placed directly in the cut-out. Solid wood worktops, tiled worktops, glass worktops The cooktop is placed on a wooden frame inside the cut-out. The frame must be provided on site and is not supplied with the appliance.
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.

Electrical connection
The cooktop is supplied with a mains connection cable with moulded plug ready for connection to a suitable earthed socket. The socket should be easily accessible after the cooktop has been installed. If the socket is not easily accessible, ensure that a suitable means of disconnection is provided on the installation side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the cooktop to multisocket adapters or extension cables can overload the cables. For safety reasons, do not use an extension cable or multi-socket adapter.
Risk of damage from incorrect connection. Incorrect installation, maintenance and repairs can be dangerous to users. Miele cannot be held liable for damage or injury (e.g. electric shock) caused by unauthorised installation, maintenance or repair work, or by an inadequate or faulty on-site earthing system. All electrical work must be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. For safety reasons, we recommend using a suitable residual current device (RCD) in the relevant electrical installation for connecting the cooktop.

If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific mains connection cable of the same type (available from Miele). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent electrician or a Miele authorised service technician, in order to avoid a hazard. The data plate indicates the nominal power consumption and the connection data. Compare this information with the data of the on-site electrical connection. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non- mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks, back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that the energy supply system complies with all current local and national requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery systems. The protective measures provided in the domestic installation and in this Miele product must also be assured in their function and operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
