Technical safety
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.
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.
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.
Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been in-
stalled correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified techni-
cian.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
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
9
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 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.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
Correct use
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.
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-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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
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.
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.
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 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
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.
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 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
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 cook-
ing 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 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.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
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
cooktop.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY
Caring for the environment
15
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.

Included accessories
The accessories supplied with your ap-
pliance, as well as a range of optional
ones, are available to order from Miele
(see “Optional accessories”).
Wok ring
The Wok ring supplied with your appli-
ance can be used in instances where
extra stability is required. It is particu-
larly suitable for wok pans with rounded
bases.
Combi-trivet
For small cookware (see “Cookware”).
Before first use
22
Cleaning the cooktop for the
first time
Before first use, wipe down the appli-
ance with a damp cloth and dry it.
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”).
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
23
- Select cookware that fits the size of
the burner:
Large diameter = large burner
Small diameter = small burner
- 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 3/8" (1cm) between the
burner and the base of the pan.
- 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 cookware, keep in
mind that the diameter indicated is
typically the top diameter, not the
base diameter.
- All heat-resistant cookware is suitable
for use.
- Cookware with a thick base is prefer-
able, as it distributes heat more
evenly. Cookware with a thin base
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. Even when
cookware is positioned correctly,
there is always a possibility of a slight
tilt.
- Do not use cookware with bases with
pronounced edges.
Cookware
24
Combi-trivet
Use the combi-trivet supplied for small
items of cookware. The cookware will
then be stable on the burner and not tip
over.
Wok ring
Use the wok ring supplied to give ad-
ditional stability to cookware, espe-
cially to woks with a rounded base.
Place the wok ring on the pan sup-
port so that it sits securely in position
and cannot move (see diagram).
Energy saving tips
25
- 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
26
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.
Operation
27
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.
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.
Wok burner
Depending on the knob design, there
may be a stopper at the 6 o’clock posi-
tion to prevent you turning the knob to
the high or low setting unintentionally.
Press the knob down lightly to move
past this stopper.

In-operation/residual-heat indi-
cators
The in-operation/residual heat indicator
lights up when a burner is ignited. They
go out when the cooktop is switched
off. If a burner is hot, the indicator will
light up as long as residual heat is still
present.
If the residual heat indicator lights are
flashing, there is a fault (see “Fre-
quently asked questions”).

Safety features
31
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 burner off, the burner
is ready for use again.
The flame failure device operates inde-
pendently from the power supply. This
means that it will still work if the cook-
top is used during a power outage.
Cleaning and care
32
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 and care
33
The entire cooktop should be cleaned
after each use.
Soften any stubborn soiling before-
hand.
Dry the cooktop after using water to
clean it. This helps prevent lime de-
posits.
Cleaning the ceramic surface
Risk of damage caused by
pointed objects.
The seal between the cooktop and
the countertop could be damaged.
The seal between the ceramic sur-
face and the frame could be dam-
aged.
Do not use pointed objects for clean-
ing.
When cleaning with liquid dish soap,
not all contaminants and residues
are removed. An invisible film forms,
which causes discoloration of the ce-
ramic surface. This discoloration
cannot be removed.
Clean the ceramic surface regularly
with a suitable cleaning agent for ce-
ramic cooktops.
First wipe down the surface with a
damp cloth to loosen soiling, then re-
move 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
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 ce-
ramic 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 dam-
age to the ceramic glass surface. En-
sure that all cleaning-agent residues
are removed.
Dry the ceramic surface with a clean,
soft cloth.
Cleaning and care
34
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 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.
Cleaning and care
35
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 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.

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 rel-
evant 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" (300mm) 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 in-
stalled 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 cook-
top resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
44
An air curtain or other overhead range hood, which operates by
blowing a downward airflow onto a cooktop, shall not be used in
conjunction with the cooktop unless the hood and cooktop have
been designed and tested in accordance with the Standard for Do-
mestic Gas Ranges, ANSIZ21.1•CSA1.1, and listed by an indepen-
dent testing laboratory for combination use. An air curtain or over-
head range hood is permitted to be used in conjunction with the
cooktop, if the cooktop and air curtain range hood have been de-
signed and tested in accordance with the Standard for Domestic
Gas Ranges, ANSIZ21.1•CSA1.1, and listed by an independent test-
ing laboratory for combination use.

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 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 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 effec-
tive 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 sup-
ply (see “Installation – Gas connec-
tion”).
