Warning and Safety instructions Safety with children Technical safety ~ Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. ~ Before installation, check the ~ Older children may use the appliance only when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse. ~ The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ The connection to the gas supply must be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with current local and national safety regulations. If the appliance is supplied without a plug, or if the plug is removed, it must be connected to the mains electricity supply by a suitably qualified and competent electrician in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). ~ Do not use the gas cooktop if it is faulty. Switch it off immediately, disconnect it from the gas supply and mains electricity, and call Miele.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ For added protection, it is advisable to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Ensure that they do not come into contact with the flames. Do not use large cloths, tea towels or similar as the ends could touch the flames and catch fire. Take care not to let these items get damp or wet as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ Using the cooktop creates heat, moisture and products of combustion within the room in which it is located. It is important to make sure the room is sufficiently ventilated during operation of the cooktop with natural or mechanical means of ventilation, e.g. a rangehood. ~ If the cooktop is built-in behind a ~ If the cooktop is used for very long for a long period of time, it should be thoroughly cleaned before it is used again.
Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material Disposing of your old appliance The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance.
Before using for the first time Please place the extra data plate on a surface near the cooktop such as the cupboard door if the labels on the base of the cooktop are not visible after installation. If the labels on the base of the cooktop are visible after installation, the additional data plate label can be placed in the space provided in the "After sales service" section of this booklet. Cleaning for the first time ^ Remove any protective foil.
Operation The control knob for each burner is used to ignite the burner and regulate the strength of the flame. The burners can only be switched on by pressing in the appropriate control and turning it anti-clockwise, and switched off by turning the control clockwise. The outer flame ring on the wok burner can only be switched on and off by pressing the control in and turning it in the appropriate direction.
Operation Control knobs The control knob for each burner is used to ignite the burner and regulate the strength of the flame. ß The gas supply is turned off & Strongest flame / Weakest flame Switching on ^ To ignite the burner, the control for the burner required must be pressed in and turned anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. When a control knob is activated, a spark is generated on all burners. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
Operation Regulating the flame Regulate the flame so that it does not spread out beyond the sides of the pan. 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 burners can be regulated at any level between the strongest and weakest flame.
Pans Burner Min. pot/pan base diameter in cm Small burner Medium burner Large burner Wok burner 10 10 12 15 Max. diameter at top of pot/pan in cm without with Combi insert Small burner Medium burner Large burner Wok burner 22 22 24 26 30 – Refer to the chart above and ensure that the pot/pan diameter falls within the minimum and maximum diameters given for the burner you are using. A pot/pan which is too small will be unstable on the pan support.
Pans Wok ring The wok ring supplied with your appliance can be used in instances where extra stability is required. It is particularly suitable for woks with a rounded base. Make sure that the wok ring is located securely in its correct position (see diagram). Woks are different from other pots and pans. Woks have a small base diameter and large top diameter, generally between 35 - 40 cm.
Energy-saving tips – Use a lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss. – Cook with as little water as possible. – Cooking times can be significantly reduced with a pressure cooker. – Reduce the power setting once the water has come to the boil or the oil is hot enough to fry in. – Wide, shallow pans are preferable to tall, narrow ones as they will heat up faster.
Safety features Thermo-electric ignition This appliance is fitted with a thermo-electric ignition safety device which cuts off the supply of gas to a burner if the flame goes out, for example if food has boiled over, or if there was a sudden draught. ^ To use the burner again, turn the control clockwise to the "ß" position, and then switch it back on as normal. The safety cut-out operates independently from the electricity supply. This means that it will still work if the cooktop is used during a power cut.
Cleaning and care ,Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. – The appliance should be cleaned regularly, preferably after each use. Allow the appliance to cool down to a safe temperature before cleaning. – To avoid water marks and limescale deposits, use a soft cloth to dry surfaces that have been cleaned with water. – Stubborn soiling should be soaked first. – Remove any soiling immediately.
