supply by either removing the fuse,
unplugging the unit or manually
"tripping" the circuit breaker.
When using your gas appliance
follow basic safety precautions
including the following:
This equipment has not been
designed for maritime use or for
use in mobile installations such as
aircraft or recreational vehicles.
However, under certain circumstances
it may be possible for installation in

specific requirements.
Read all instructions before using
for the first time.
Be certain your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by
a qualified technician.
To guarantee the electrical safety
of this appliance, 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. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for damages caused
by the lack, or inadequacy, of an
effective grounding system.
After connecting the appliance test
for leaks according to the
installation instructions.
If there is any doubt concerning
installation contact Miele’s
Technical Service Department.
U 1-800-999-1360

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Correct usage
Do not use pans that extend past
the burner grate. Using larger pans
may cause the flames to spread out
and damage the surrounding
countertop or other countertop
appliances.
Do not operate the cooktop until it
is properly installed in the
countertop.
This appliance is intended for
residential cooking only.
For safety and stability, do not use
pans with a bottom diameter
smaller than the burner grate.
Use the appliance only for its
intended purpose. The
manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damages caused by
improper use of the cooktop.
Only certain types of glass,
ceramic or other glazed cookware
are suitable for use on a cooktop
without breaking due to a sudden
temperature change.
Be sure drafts do not blow
flammable material toward the
flames or push the flames so that they
extend beyond the edges of the pan.
Do not store aerosols, gasoline,
combustibles or any other
For safety reasons never use the
cooktop to warm the room.
flammable materials underneath or
adjacent to the cooktop.
Install the cooktop in a room that
has sufficient ventilation.
Protection from damage
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean the appliance. Steam could
penetrate electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
This appliance must not be
operated outdoors.
Do not use aluminum foil to line any
part of the cooktop.
Spills containing salt or sugar
should be removed immediately.
For proper lighting and
performance of the burners, keep
the igniters clean and dry.
Do not drop anything on the
ceramic surface of the appliance.
Although the ceramic glass is shock
and scratch resistant, it is not shock or
scratch proof.
Make sure all components of the
gas burners are assembled
correctly before using the cooktop.
Ensure that any burners in use are
always covered with a pan.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Personal safety
Do not leave the cooktop
unattended while in use. Boil-overs
cause smoking, and greasy spill-overs
may ignite.
The burners become very hot
when in use. Make sure that no one
comes in contact with the burners.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother any fire or flame, or use a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Do not leave children unattended
in an area where the appliance is in
use.
Do not flambé under an exhaust
hood. Flames could be drawn up
into the hood by the suction or the
grease filters may ignite.
Do not store toys or items of
interest to children in cabinets
above or behind the cooktop. Children
climbing onto the cooktop to reach
these items may become seriously
injured.
For safety reasons the flame
should be adjusted to be the same
size as the bottom of the pan or smaller.
Do not use small pans with high flame
settings as the flames can climb the
sides of the pan.
Do not allow children to operate or
play with the cooktop. Keep all
pans out of the reach of children.
Use only dry, heat resistant
potholders. Moist or damp
potholders used on hot surfaces can
result in steam burns. Do not let the
potholder touch the hot burners. Do not

for cooktop use.
Always position handles of utensils

appliance.
edge of the cooktop.
Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
garments while operating the
cooktop, they present a fire hazard.
If there is a drawer directly
underneath the appliance without
any wooden base in between, ensure
that no aerosols, combustible liquids or
other easily flammable materials are
kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be
placed in the drawer, these must be
made of heat-resistant material.
Do not heat unopened food
containers. Built-up pressure may
cause the container to burst and result
in injury.
Do not store items on the cooktop
when not in use.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate
on the appliance.

Do not use the appliance until it has
been repaired.
When using a portable appliance
near the cooktop, make sure that
its power cord does not come in
contact with the cooktop.
Do not use containers made of
plastic or aluminum. They may melt
at high temperatures.
Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance while repair work is carried
out.
Do not heat empty pots or pans,
they may be damaged.

Before using the cooktop
Cleaning the cooktop
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight odor
the first time your new appliance is
heated.
Before using for the first time clean the
appliance as follows:
^ Wash the gas burner assembly with a
mild solution of warm water and
liquid dish soap.
The harmless odor will dissipate after a
short time and does not indicate a
faulty connection or appliance defect.
^ Wipe dry and reassemble the parts in
the proper order (see “Cleaning and
care”).
^ Wipe the cooktop with a damp cloth
and dry thoroughly.

The ignition process lasts approx.
8 - 10 seconds. The flame should light
within 4 seconds. The Fast-Ignition-
System will click a few seconds after
the flame is lit to ensure the safety
system is activated.
The knob must only be turned left to
turn the appliance on and right to

Using the cooktop
Regulating the wok burner
The inner and outer burners are both
controlled by one control knob. There is
a stop at the 6 o’clock position that
requires you to press the knob down
while turning it in order to get from the
high flame to the low flame zone.
^ To reduce the flames from a high to
low setting, turn the control knob
counterclockwise until you feel
resistance. Press the knob down to
pass the stop, then release the
pressure and set the cooktop to the
desired setting.
^ To increase the flames from a low to
high setting, turn the control knob
clockwise until you reach the stop.
Press the knob down to pass the
stop, then release the pressure and
set the cooktop to the desired
setting.
Since the outer portion of the flame is
much hotter than the center, the flame
should be set so that it does not spread
beyond the sides of the pan. Flame tips
which extend beyond the sides of the
pan are hazardous.

cooktop, the bases do not need to be
even for good results.
Thick pan bases will give more even
results, as hot spots are reduced due to
better heat distribution.
Thin pan bases will conduct the heat
faster but not as evenly as thick pan
bases. Stir the food frequently to
prevent burning.
– Generally, wide / shallow pans will
heat quicker and cook more evenly
than narrow / tall ones.
Wok burners
– 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.
You can use a wok on these burners
without any additional rings, trivets, etc.
If you wish to use the wok ring, for extra
stability, attach it as shown (depending
on your grates).
– Do not use small pans with high
flame settings, the flames may climb
the sides of the pan.
– Pots with a smaller diameter than the
pan support and pots that do not sit
securely (without wobbling) are
hazardous and should not be used.

Using the cooktop
Safety feature
Using the cooktop during a
power failure
This appliance is equipped with an
Ignition Safety Control. This control cuts
the gas supply if the flame goes out
and reignition is unsuccessful.
If there is an interruption to the
electrical supply the gas can be ignited
using a match.
^ To reignite the burner, turn the control
knob to “ß”, then follow the
procedure outlined in “Turning on
and off / Regulating”.
^ Press down and turn the desired
control knob counterclockwise to the
largest flame symbol.
^ While holding down the knob, light
the gas at the burner with a match.
This safety feature is not operated by
electricity, it will be active even if the
appliance is in use during a power
failure.
^ When the flame appears, keep the
control knob pressed in for 8 - 10
seconds to allow for the Ignition
Safety Control to reach operating
temperature.
