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 Please adhere the extra appliance data plate (supplied) in the space provided in the “After sales service” section of this manual. Remove any protective foil and stickers. Cleaning the cooktop for the first time Before first use, wipe down the appliance with a damp cloth and dry it. Turning on the cooktop for the first time Metal components are protected by a conditioning agent. Smells and vapor may occur when the appliance is used for the first time.
Cookware – Select cookware that fits the size of the burner: Large diameter = large burner Small diameter = small burner – 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. – Any cookware that has a diameter smaller than the burner grate or which does not rest in a stable position on the grate (without wobbling) is dangerous and should not be used.
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 pan support 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 13¾“ - 15¾” (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 failure, the flame can be ignited manually. Turning the appliance on Press in the relevant control and turn it counter-clockwise to the large flame symbol. The ignitor “clicks” and ignites the gas. Press in the relevant control and turn it counter-clockwise towards the large flame symbol.
Operation Adjusting the flame Turning the appliance off The burners can be variably adjusted between the lowest and highest flame settings. Turn the control clockwise to position “ ”. 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 a thermo-electric flame failure monitor. 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 to the “ ” position, the burner is ready for use again. The thermo-electric flame failure monitor 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! Unsuitable cleaning agents Burners must be switched off. Make sure the cooktop has cooled down. To prevent damage to surfaces, avoid the following while cleaning: Danger of injury! – cleaners containing soda, alkaline, ammonia, thinners, or chlorides, 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 cooktop.
Cleaning and care The surfaces of the burners and pot rests will become duller in the course of time. This is quite normal and does not indicate damage to the burner cap. The entire cooktop should be cleaned after each use. Soften any stubborn soiling beforehand. Dry the appliance after using water to clean it. This helps prevent lime deposits. Clean the knobs with a soft sponge, warm water and a small amount of liquid dish soap. Soften any stubborn soiling beforehand.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION Install the upper cabinets and ventilation hood before installing the cooktop to avoid damaging it. The room in which the cooktop is installed must conform to all relevant local and national building regulations and safety regulations. The countertop must be heatresistant (up to 212°F / 100°C), so that it does not become deformed or the veneer detached. The wall strips must be heat-resistant as well.
Safety clearances Safety clearance above the cooktop For a ventilation hood above the cooktop, always use the clearance specified by the hood manufacturer. If there are no specifications from the hood manufacturer or if flammable materials (e.g. a utensil rail) are installed above the cooktop, the clearance must be at least 760 mm). If there is more than one appliance installed below the ventilation hood, each with a different safety clearance, the largest clearance must be used.
Safety clearances Safety clearances to the sides and back of the cooktop When installing a cooktop there may be an optionally high cabinet or room wall against the rear side and one of the sides (right or left) (see illustrations).
Safety clearances Safety distance from the wall covering If a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained between the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures can damage these materials. If the covering is made of a combustible material (such as wood), the distance between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be a minimum of 2" (50 mm).
Instructions for installation Seal between cooktop and counter In case a disassembly is required, the appliance must not be permanently sealed into the countertop when installed. The sealing strip under the edge of the appliance provides a sufficient seal for the countertop. If the appliance is sealed into position, the countertop or appliance could be damaged if it needs to be removed for maintenance or service.
