IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Correct use The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time after being turned off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a possibility that it could still be hot. When in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat, which can cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire. Never use the cooktop to heat the room. Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking on high power.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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 protective 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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-resistance (e.g. paneled walls) or portions of the cooktop. Make sure that the burner flames do not extend beyond the bottom 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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 technician before using it again. 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.

Overview Included accessories 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 with your appliance can be used in instances where extra stability is required. It is particularly suitable for wok pans with rounded bases.
Before first use Cleaning the cooktop for the first time Turning on the cooktop for the first time Before first use, wipe down the appliance with a damp cloth and dry it. Metal components are protected by a conditioning agent. Smells and vapor may occur when the appliance is used for the first time. Using a soft sponge, clean all removable burner parts with a solution of warm water and a small amount of liquid dish soap.
Cookware - Select cookware that fits the size of the burner: Large diameter = large burner Small diameter = small burner - Do not use pots or pans that have bottoms with pronounced edges. - Using cookware that is too large can cause the flames to spread out and damage the surrounding countertop or other appliances. Choosing the right cookware size improves efficiency.
Cookware 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 grate so that it sits securely in position and cannot move (see diagram). The wok pan is a special piece of cookware. It has a small base diameter and a large upper rim diameter (usually 13 ¾”–15 ¾” (35-40 cm)). The wok burner is particularly suitable for wok pans.
Energy saving tips - 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 Fire hazard due to overheated Switching on during a power outage food. Unattended food can overheat and ignite. Do not leave the cooktop unattended whilst it is being used. In case of a power outage, the flame can be ignited manually. Turning the appliance on Press in the control knob and turn it counterclockwise to the large flame symbol. The ignitor “clicks” and ignites the gas. When a control knob is activated, a spark is developed automatically on all burners.
Operation Adjusting the flame Visual characteristics gas flames The burners can be variably adjusted between the lowest and highest flame settings. Yellow flames Contact the Miele Service Department. 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 extend beyond the sides of the cookware emit unnecessary heat into the room and can also damage cookware handles, which increases the risk of injury.
Safety features Ignition safety control Your cooktop is equipped with an ignition safety control. If a gas flame is extinguished, e.g., by food boiling over or by a draft, 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 ignition safety control operates independently from the electricity supply. This means that it will still work if the cooktop is used during a power outage.
Cleaning and care Danger of burning due to hot Unsuitable cleaning agents surfaces. The cooktop surface, grates, and burners will be hot after use. Allow the cooktop 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 electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
