Cookware

Pan size

Pan placement

– Select the cookware to match the

burner:

– Always place the cookware on the

grate. The cookware must not be

placed directly on the burner.

large diameter = large burner

small diameter = small burner.

– Position the cookware on the grate

so that it cannot tip over. A minimum

amount of wobbling can never be

completely ruled out.

– Using oversized pans may cause the

flames to spread out and damage

the surrounding countertop or other

countertop appliances. The proper

pan size will also improve efficiency.

Wok ring

– Pots with a smaller diameter than the

grate(s) and pots that do not sit

securely (without wobbling) are

hazardous and should not be used.

Suitable pans

– Unlike pans used on an electric

cooktop, the bases do not need to

be even for good results.

For added stability, especially for wok

pans with round bases, use the wok

ring (supplied).

– When buying pots and pans, keep in

mind that it is generally not the base

diameter but the upper diameter

which is specified.

Make sure the wok ring is properly in

place, so that it won't move around.

(See illustration.)

– Only use heat-resistant cookware.

Trivet

– Thick pan bases will give more even

results, as hot spots are reduced due

to better heat distribution.

The trivet must be used on the

double-insert super burner, if using

– very small cookware. Prevents it from

tipping over.

Thin pan bases will conduct the heat

faster but not as evenly as thick pan

bases. Stir the food frequently to

prevent burning.

– very large cookware. Using the insert

will prevent the flames from

spreading, causing the cooktop to

discolor and the surrounding

countertop to be damaged.

– Do not use pots or pans with

edge-supported bases. between the

burner and the base of the wok pan

above it.

Energy saving tips

– If possible, cook in covered pots or

pans. This prevents unnecessary

heat loss.

– Cook with less water.

– The cooking time can be significantly

reduced by using a pressure cooker.

– After cooking or frying, promptly set

to a lower flame.

– Generally, wide / shallow pans will

heat quicker and cook more evenly

than narrow / tall ones.

Safety feature

Ignition safety control

The appliance is equipped with an

Ignition safety control. This control cuts

the gas supply if the flame goes out,

e.g. from a boilover or a draft. Any

further escape of gas is prevented.

Cleaning and care

To better maintain your appliance

avoid the following:

,^{Never use a steam cleaner to}

clean this cooktop. Pressurized

steam could cause permanent

damage to the surface and to

components.

– cleaners containing soda, ammonia,

thinners, or chlorides,

– cleaners containing descaling

agents or lime removers,

Keep the ignitor in the burner dry. If

it gets wet it will not spark.

– stain and rust removers,

– abrasive cleaners,

– Clean the appliance after each use.

Let the appliance cool to a safe

temperature before cleaning.

– cleaners containing solvents,

– dishwasher soap,

– caustic (oven) cleaners,

– glass cleaners,

– Dry your cooktop thoroughly after

cleaning it to prevent lime deposits.

– Soak baked or hardened spills.

– scouring pads, steel wool, hard

brushes, metal scrapers.

– Remove any soiling immediately!

Spilled food may discolor the burners

or the stainless steel.

– sharp objects

(they could damage the seals

between the frame and the

countertop).

– The surfaces of the burner parts and

grates become slightly duller over

time. This is normal and does not

indicate any impairment of the

material.

with heat resistant (212°F/100°C)

adhesive to prevent distortion or

dissolving.

Any wall coverings must be heat

resistant as well.

This appliance must not be used in

a non-stationary location (e.g. on a

ship).

This appliance must be

disconnected from the gas supply

during any pressure testing of the

system performed in excess of ½

psi (3.5 kPa). This appliance must

be isolated at test pressures equal

to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

Deep fat fryers must not be installed

directly next to gas cooktops. Gas

flames can ignite splattering oil. A

distance of at least 11 ³/₄" (300 mm)

should be maintained between these

two appliances.

Any pipe connections must be

made using a thread sealant

approved for gas connections.

Failure to correctly install these

items could lead to a gas leak and

subsequent explosion.

The cooktop must not be installed

over a dishwasher, washer, dryer,

refrigerator or freezer. Heat radiated by

the cooktop may damage the

appliances.

Install the appliance so that the

power cord or gas piping does not

come into contact with any portion of

the cooktop which may become hot

during use.

In Massachusetts installation must

be performed by a licensed

plumber/gas fitter.

Installation

The cooktop may be installed:

Flush mounted gas cooktops are

only suitable for installation in

granite, marble, tiled or solid wood

countertops.

– in a suitable cut-out in a granite or

marble countertop.

– in a suitable cut-out in a tiled or solid

wood countertop with a wooden

support frame. The frame must be

provided on site, and is not supplied

with the appliance.

If installing into a countertop made

from any other material, please

check first with the countertop

manufacturer that it is suitable for

installing a flush mounted cooktop.

This appliance requires a 36 7/16"

(900 mm) wide base unit for

installation.

The cooktop must be accessible

from below for servicing purposes

and to ensure that the seal around it

is not dislodged.

Gas connection

Gas pressure regulator

For convenience, an AGA or CGA

approved flexible stainless steel gas

hose (accordion type) may be used

between the gas connection and the

regulator. This will allow the appliance

to be lifted out of the countertop for

cleaning or servicing. Make sure that

any drawers, cabinet doors, etc., do not

rub on this gas hose.

A pressure regulator that is convertible

from natural to LP gas (Propane) or vice

versa is included with the appliance.

The included regulator corresponds

with the gas type of the appliance.

Verify before installing.

The adjusted pressure is:

natural gas - 4" w.c.

LP gas - 10" w.c.

Do not use any regulator unless it

has been supplied by Miele. Doing

so may cause a gas leak.

If there is any doubt concerning

installation contact the Miele Technical

Service Department.

After connecting the appliance check

all fittings for gas leaks e.g. with

soapy water.

When installed properly, the flame will

be steady and quiet. It will also have a

sharp, blue inner core that will vary in

length proportional to the burner size.
