Technical safety
Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been in-
stalled correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified techni-
cian.
Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so.
Service work should only be performed by a qualified technician.
Unauthorized installation, maintenance, and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance, and re-
pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorized technician.
Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the
cooktop for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is
damaged.
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply 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 sys-
tem 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.
Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appli-
ance, 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
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 techni-
cian 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 quali-
fied 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 ser-
vice technician (see “Installation–Electrical connection”).
If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a quali-
fied service technician (see “Installation–Electrical connection”).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
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.
If the cooktop is defective, immediately turn the appliance off and
discontinue use. Disconnect it from the electricity and gas supply.
Contact Technical Service.
If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the
door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build
up behind the closed door and cause damage to the cooktop, cabi-
netry, and flooring. Do not close the door until the residual heat indi-
cators go out.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
Correct use
Keep the cooktop and the area around it clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapours and liq-
uids.
Wind can blow curtains over the cooktop, causing them to catch
fire. If the cooktop is installed near a window, do not use long cur-
tains.
Only certain types of glass, ceramic or other enamel cookware
can be used on a gas cooktop without breaking as a result of sud-
den temperature changes.
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 cook-
ing and cause burns. Do not touch these components when using
the cooktop.
Ensure that the igniters are clean and dry to allow the burners to
ignite and burn properly.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
Never leave the appliance unattended at high heat settings–
Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires–Smother fire or flame or use
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
An air curtain or other overhead range hood, which operates by
blowing a downward airflow onto an appliance, shall not be used in
conjunction with the appliance.
The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while af-
ter being turned off. There is a potential hazard until the residual heat
indicator goes out.
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.
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-resis-
tant.
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.
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 pro-
tective sheet.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
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 ap-
pliance, 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 con-
tact with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation could become dam-
aged.
Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high tem-
peratures. 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 dam-
aged 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 as-
sembled.
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-re-
sistance (e.g. paneled walls) or portions of the cooktop.
Make sure that the burner flames do not extend beyond the bot-
tom of the cookware and rise up its sides.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
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.
Remove all grease splatters and other flammable (food) residues
on the cooktop. 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.
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 me-
chanical 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 techni-
cian before using it again.
Where several ProLine elements are installed side by side:
Hot objects can damage the seal of the spacer bar. Do not place hot
pans near or on the spacer bar.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
15
Cleaning and maintenance
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
The steam may reach electrical components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional parts for a minimum of
10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of your
ProLine element.
Caring for the environment
16
Disposal of the packing mate-
rial
The cardboard box and packing materi-
als protect the appliance during ship-
ping. They have been designed to be
biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children. Dan-
ger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which were essential
for the proper functioning and safe use
of the equipment. Handling these mate-
rials improperly by disposing of them in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment. There-
fore, please do not dispose of your old
appliance with regular household waste
and follow local regulations on proper
disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please en-
sure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal. Ob-
serve safety requirements for appli-
ances that may tip over or pose an en-
trapment hazard.

20
Cleaning the cooktop for the
first time
Using a soft sponge, clean all remov-
able burner parts with a solution of
warm water and a small amount of
liquid dish soap. Dry the parts thor-
oughly after cleaning and reassemble
the burners (see “Cleaning and
care”).
Clean the stainless-steel trough with
a damp cloth, and then wipe dry.
Turning on the cooktop for the
first time
The metal components have a protec-
tive 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 indi-
cate a faulty connection or a defective
appliance and are not harmful to your
health.
Cookware
21
- 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 effi-
ciency.
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 danger-
ous and should not be used.
- Unlike cookware that is used on an
electric cooktop, the bottom of cook-
ware 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 indi-
cated 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 fre-
quently.
- Always place the cookware on the
grates supplied. Do not place cook-
ware 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.
Energy saving tips
22
- 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.
Operation
23
Fire hazard due to overheated
food.
Unattended food can overheat and
ignite.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended
while it is being used.
Rapid ignition system
The cooktop is supplied with a rapid ig-
nition system with the following fea-
tures:
- Rapid ignition without the need to
hold the knob.
- Automatic re-ignition
If the flame is extinguished by a draft,
for example, the burner is automati-
cally relit. If re-ignition is unsuccess-
ful, the gas supply is automatically
cut off (see “Safety features” – “Igni-
tion safety”).
If there has been a power outage, the
automatic re-ignition feature will not
work properly.
Turning the appliance on
Press the knob lightly and turn it
counterclockwise to the large flame
symbol.
Then press it down firmly to open the
gas supply and let it go.
The ignitor “clicks” and ignites the gas.
When a knob is activated, a spark is
developed automatically on all burn-
ers. This is normal and does not indi-
cate a fault.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the
knob to the position. Ventilate the
room or wait for at least 1minute be-
fore trying again.
If the burner does not ignite the sec-
ond time, turn the knob back to the
position and see “Frequently asked
questions”.
Brief re-ignition may occur during
switch-on (1–2x clicks), e.g., if there is
a draft.
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 5–10seconds and
then release it.
Operation
24
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 ex-
tend beyond the sides of the cook-
ware 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 ex-
tends up the sides of the cookware.

gas
Switching off
Turn the control knob clockwise to
the position.
This stops the flow of gas and the flame
goes out.
Operation
25
In-operation/residual-heat indi-
cators
The in-operation indicator will light up
when you ignite a burner. A short while
later the residual-heat indicator will also
light up. The in-operation indicator will
go out when the burner is switched off.
The residual-heat indicator will remain
on while there is residual heat present.
If the residual-heat indicator is flash-
ing, there is a fault (see “Frequently
asked questions”).
Danger of burning due to hot
surfaces.
The grates, burners, and cooktop will
be hot after use.
Do not touch the grates, burners, or
the cooktop itself while the residual-
heat indicators are on.
Safety features
26
Ignition safety
The cooktop is equipped with an igni-
tion safety device. If a gas flame is ex-
tinguished (e.g., by food boiling over or
by a draft) 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 position, the
burner is ready for use again.
The flame failure device operates inde-
pendently from the electricity supply.
This means that it will still work if the
cooktop is used during a power out-
age.
Cleaning and care
27
Danger of burning due to hot
surfaces.
The cooktop surface, grates, and
burners will be hot after use.
Allow the cooktop to cool down be-
fore cleaning it.
Risk of damage due to moisture
ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaning ap-
pliance could reach electrical com-
ponents 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 discol-
oration of the burner components.
Remove any soiling and salt and
sugar splashes immediately.
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.
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
Cleaning and care
28
Allow the ProLine element to cool
down before cleaning.
Clean the ProLine element and ac-
cessories after each use.
Dry the ProLine element thoroughly
after cleaning it with water to avoid
limescale residue.
Cleaning the stainless-steel
cooktop
Risk of damage caused by
pointed objects.
The seal between the cooktop and
the countertop could be damaged.
Do not use pointed objects for clean-
ing.
Damage due to soiling.
Soiling, particularly salty food or liq-
uid and olive oil, can cause damage
if left on the printed surfaces for a
long time.
Remove such soiling immediately.
Damage due to incorrect clean-
ing.
Stainless-steel cleaners rub off the
printed symbols.
Do not use stainless-steel cleaners
on printed symbols.
Clean the stainless-steel cooktop
with a solution of warm water and a
little liquid dish soap applied with a
soft sponge. Soften any stubborn
soiling beforehand. If necessary, the
rough side of a kitchen sponge can
be used.
Finally, dry with a clean soft cloth.
Cleaning and care
29
Cleaning the knob(s)
Use a soft sponge, warm water, and
a small amount of liquid dish soap to
clean the knob(s). Soften any stub-
born soiling beforehand.
Dry the knob(s) with a clean cloth.
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
30
Cleaning the burner
Do not clean any parts of the burner
in a dishwasher.
The surface of the burner cap will be-
come 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 ig-
nite 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 re-
moved should be wiped clean with a
damp cloth only.
The ignitor and ignition safety 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.
Cleaning and care
31
Assembling the burner
d
e
a
b
c
Place the burner head onto the
burner base so that the ignitor
and the ignition safety device ex-
tend 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 posi-
tioned, the burner cap will not slide
about.
Ensure that all parts of the burner are
reassembled in the correct order.
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION
Risk of damage caused by incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to the ProLine element.
The ProLine element must only be installed by a qualified person.
Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the ProLine element when installing upper cabinets or
a ventilation hood above it.
Install the upper cabinets and ventilation hood before installing the ProLine ele-
ment.
The room in which the ProLine element is installed must conform
to all relevant local and national building regulations and safety regu-
lations.
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.
A gas cooktop/wok must not be installed directly next to a broiler/
fryer as the gas flames could ignite the fat in the fryer. It is essential
to maintain a distance of at least 11 5/16" (288mm) between the gas
appliance and a broiler/fryer.
The ProLine element must not be installed above refrigerators/
freezers, dishwashers, or washers/dryers.
When installing the ProLine element, 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 in-
stalled in such a way that they do not come into contact with any
moving kitchen parts (e.g., a drawer), and cannot become trapped.
Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the following
pages.

Installation notes
Sealing strip between the ProLine el-
ement and the countertop
Damage caused by incorrect in-
stallation.
Using sealant under the ProLine ele-
ment could result in damage to the
ProLine element and the countertop
if the ProLine element ever needs to
be removed for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the Pro-
Line element and the countertop.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the top part of the appliance pro-
vides a sufficient seal for the coun-
tertop.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the ProLine element for
service purposes may damage the
sealing strip underneath the edge of
the ProLine element.
Always replace the sealing strip be-
fore reinstalling the ProLine element.
Tiled countertop
The grouting and the shaded area
under the frame of the ProLine element
must be smooth and flat so that the
frame will sit evenly on the countertop
and so that the sealing strip under the
top edge of the ProLine element can
provide an adequate seal with the
countertop.

Calculating the countertop cut-out
The frames of the ProLine elements overlap the countertop at the outside right
and left by 5/16" (8mm) on each side.
Add up the widths of the ProLine elements and subtract 5/8" (16mm) from this
sum.
Example:
115/16" + 11 5/16" + 14 15/16" = 37 5/8" - 5/8" = 37"
(288mm+288mm+380mm = 956mm-16mm = 940mm)
The ProLine elements are 11 5/16", 14 15/16" or 22 11/16" (288mm, 380mm or
576mm) wide depending on the model (see “Installation” – “Installation dimen-
sions”).
Spacer bars
When installing several ProLine elements, a spacer bar must be installed between
the individual appliances. The position for securing the spacer bar will depend on
the width of the ProLine element.
Installation

Installation
Preparing the countertop
Make the countertop cut-out as
shown in the illustration in “Installa-
tion dimensions” or as calculated
(see “Installation” – “Installing several
ProLine elements”). Remember to
maintain the minimum safety dis-
tances (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 tem-
perature-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 ProLine element
Feed the power cord down through
the cut-out in the countertop.
Starting at the front, position the Pro-
Line element in the cut-out.
Using both hands, press down evenly
on the sides of the ProLine element
until it clicks into position. When do-
ing this make sure that the seal of the
appliance sits flush with the counter-
top on all sides. This is important to
ensure an effective seal all round.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g., silicone) on the ProLine ele-
ment.
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.

Gas connection
Connection to the gas supply
may only be performed by a duly au-
thorized technician. This technician is
responsible for proper function at the
installation site.
In Massachusetts, the gas connec-
tion may be performed only by a cer-
tified gas installer.
The appliance must be connected
with its own shut-off valve.
The shut-off valve must be accessi-
ble 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.
