Guide to the appliance Accessories supplied The accessories supplied with your appliance as well as a range of optional ones are available to order from Miele (see “Optional accessories”). Wok ring The wok ring supplied gives additional stability to the wok, especially to woks with a rounded base. Combination trivet For small and large pans (see “Pans”).
Before using for the first time Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the “After sales service” section of this booklet. Remove any protective wrapping and stickers. Cleaning the hob for the first time Before using for the first time, clean the hob with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry. Clean all removable parts of the burners with a solution of warm water and a small amount of washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge.
Pans Minimum pan base diameter Burner Ø cm Small burner 10 Medium burner 10 Large burner 12 Wok burner 15 Maximum diameter at top of pan Burner Ø cm Small burner 20 Medium burner 22 Large burner 24 Wok burner Without combination trivet: 26 With combination trivet: 30 - Select the pan to suit the size of the burner: large diameter = large burner small diameter = small burner.
Pans Combination trivet Wok ring The combination trivet must be used if Use the wok ring supplied to give additional stability to pans, especially to woks with a rounded base. - you wish to use a pan with a smaller diameter base than the minimum given in the chart. - you are using large pans on the wok burner of a flush fit hob (see chart). This minimises the likelihood of damage to the worktop and/or discolouration on the stainless steel surface.
Tips on saving energy - Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimize 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 size of the flame 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.
Operation Risk of fire with overheated food. Switching on during a power outage Unattended food can overheat and catch alight. Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used. If there is an interruption to the electricity supply, the gas can be ignited manually, e.g. with a match. Switching on Press in the relevant rotary control and turn it anticlockwise to the large flame symbol. The ignition electrode will “click” and ignite the gas.
Operation Adjusting the flame Switching off The burners can be regulated at any level between the strongest and weakest flame. Turn the rotary control clockwise to the position. 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. The gas supply is cut off and the flame goes out.
Safety features Thermo-electric flame failure monitor Your hob is equipped with a thermoelectric flame failure monitor. If a 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 rotary control to the position, the burner is ready for use again. The thermo-electric flame failure monitor operates independently from the electricity supply.
Cleaning and care Danger of burning due to hot Unsuitable cleaning agents surfaces. The hob surface, pan supports and burners will be hot after use. Allow the hob to cool down before cleaning it. To avoid damaging the surfaces of the appliance, do not use: 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 hob.
Cleaning and care The entire hob should be cleaned after each use. Soften any stubborn soiling beforehand. Dry the hob thoroughly after every damp cleaning to avoid limescale residue. Stainless steel trough Risk of damage by pointed objects. The seal between the hob and the worktop could suffer damage. 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.
