Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including
removal of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a
Miele authorised technician.
Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the
appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is
damaged.
Reliable and safe operation of this cooktop can only be assured if
it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It
is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and
tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring
system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains electricity supply,
ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and
frequency) matches the mains electricity supply. This data must
correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance.
Do not connect the cooktop to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and
do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
For safety reasons, this cooktop may only be used after it has
been built in.
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Never open the casing of the cooktop.

The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele authorised service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
The cooktop 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
suitably qualified and competent gas fitter in accordance with
current local and national safety regulations (see “Installation – Gas
connection”). In Australia and New Zealand, gas installations must
be in accordance with AS/NZS 5601. If the plug has been removed
or the connection cable is not supplied with a plug, the cooktop
must be connected to the mains electricity supply by a suitably
qualified electrician (see “Installation – Electrical connection”).
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special mains connection cable by a qualified and competent
electrician in order to avoid a hazard (see “Installation - Electrical
connection”).
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be completely disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
The gas supply must also be turned off. It is only completely isolated
from the gas and electricity supply when:
- the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or
- it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
- the gas inlet valve is closed.

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.
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.
background
Warning and Safety instructions
12
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.
If a rangehood is installed above the cooktop, ensure that the
burners are always covered with a pan when in use. Otherwise
flames could reach the rangehood, parts of which could then be
damaged or even set on fire.
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.
background
Warning and Safety instructions
13
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.
background
Warning and Safety instructions
14
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.
background
Caring for the environment
15
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.

The wok ring supplied gives additional
stability to the wok, especially to woks
with a rounded base.
background
Before using for the first time
20
Please stick the extra data plate for
the appliance supplied with this
documentation in the space provided
in the “Service” section of this
booklet. Alternatively, the additional
label can be stuck near the appliance
if the appliance markings are not
visible after installation.
Remove any protective wrapping and
stickers (except the data plate).
Cleaning the cooktop for the
first time
Before using for the first time, clean
the cooktop with a damp cloth only
and then wipe dry.
Clean all removable parts of the
burner(s) with a solution of warm
water and a small amount of
washing-up liquid applied with a soft
sponge. Dry all parts thoroughly after
cleaning and then reassemble the
burners (see “Cleaning and care -
Burners”).
Switching on the cooktop for
the first time
The metal components have a
protective coating which when heated
for the first time will give off a slight
smell and possibly some vapours.
The smell and any vapours given off do
not indicate a faulty connection or
appliance and they are not hazardous
to health.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not use pots or pans with base
supports.
background
Suitable cookware
22
Wok ring
Use the wok ring supplied 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).
The wok is unique among cookware in
that it has a small base diameter and a
large rim diameter (usually 35-40cm).
Woks are ideal for use on the wok
burner.
background
Tips on saving energy
23
- 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.
background
Operation
24
Risk of fire with overheated food!
Unattended food can overheat and
ignite.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended
whilst it is being used.
Switching on
Press in the relevant control knob and
turn it anti-clockwise to the large
flame symbol. 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.
When a flame is visible, keep the
control knob pressed in for 5–
10seconds, and then let it go.
If the burner has not ignited or goes
out, turn the control knob to the
position. Aerate the room or wait for
at least oneminute before trying
again. Try keeping the control knob
pressed in for a little longer the next
time.
If the burner does not ignite the
second time, turn the control back to
the position and see “Problem
solving guide”.
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.
background
Operation
25
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 control knob clockwise to
the position.
This stops the flow of gas and
extinguishes the flame.
background
Safety features
26
Thermo-electric flame failure
device
Your cooktop is equipped with a
thermo-electric flame failure device. If
the gas flame is extinguished, e.g. by
food boiling over or by a draught, the
gas supply is switched off. This
prevents the release of gas. If you turn
the control knob to the position, the
burner is ready for use again.
The thermo-electric 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.
background
Cleaning and care
27
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.
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.
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
background
Cleaning and care
28
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.
Stainless steel surfaces
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 caused by 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.
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.
Control knobs
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 controls using a solution of
warm water and a little washing-up
liquid applied with a soft sponge.
background
Cleaning and care
29
Burner
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.
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 cap has a PerfectClean
treated surface with excellent non-
stick properties which make cleaning
easier.

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 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.

*INSTALLATION*
36
Safety distances
Safety distance above the cooktop
A minimum safety distance must be
maintained between the cooktop and
the rangehood above it. See the
rangehood manufacturer's operating
and installation instructions for details.
If the manufacturer's instructions are
not available for the rangehood, a
minimum safety distance as per AS/
NZS 5601.1 must be maintained.
For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil
rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety
distance of 600mm must be
maintained between these objects and
the highest part of the cooktop below.
When two or more appliances which
have different safety distances are
installed together below a
rangehood, you should observe the
greatest safety distance.

37
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.

Installation notes
Seal between the cooktop and the
worktop
Damage caused by incorrect
installation.
Using sealant under the cooktop
could result in damage to the
cooktop and the worktop if the
cooktop ever needs to be removed
for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the
cooktop and the worktop.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the cooktop provides a sufficient seal
for the worktop.
Tiled worktop
Grout lines and the hatched area
underneath the cooktop frame must be
smooth and even. If they are not, the
cooktop will not sit flush with the
worktop and the sealing strip
underneath the cooktop will not provide
a good seal between the cooktop and
the worktop.

Installation
Preparing the worktop
Create the worktop cut-out as shown
in the cooktop diagram. Remember
to maintain the minimum safety
distances (see “Installation – Safety
distances”).
Seal the cut surfaces of wooden
worktops with a suitable sealant to
avoid swelling caused by moisture.
The sealant must be heat-resistant.
Make sure the sealant does not
come into contact with the top
surface of the worktop.
The sealing strip ensures that the
cooktop will sit securely in the cut-out
without slipping. Any gap between the
frame and worktop will become
smaller over time.
Installing the cooktop
Attach the sealing strip provided
underneath the edge of the cooktop.
Feed the mains connection cable
down through the worktop cut-out.
Place the cooktop centrally in the
cut-out. When doing this make sure
that the seal of the appliance sits
flush with the worktop on all sides.
This is important to ensure an
effective seal with the worktop.
If the seal does not meet the worktop
correctly on the corners, the corner
radii (R4) can be carefully scribed to
suit.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone).
Connect the cooktop to the electricity
supply (see “Installation – Electrical
connection”).
Connect the cooktop to the gas
supply (see “Installation – Gas
connection”).
