IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using the appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following: Read all instructions before installation and use of the rangetop to prevent accidents and machine damage. This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before installing or using it for the first time.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety with children Do not leave children unattended: Children should not be alone or unsupervised in the area where the rangetop is installed. Do not allow them to sit or stand on the appliance. All children must be kept away from the rangetop. Please supervise any children in the vicinity of the rangetop and do not let them play with the appliance. The rangetop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time after being turned off.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS A damaged rangetop can be dangerous. Always check for visible signs of damage. Never use a damaged appliance. Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronized with the grid power supply (e.g., island networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system complies with the specifications of EN 50160 or an equivalent standard.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical components of the rangetop will endanger your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions. Do not open the appliance housing under any circumstances. Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized service technician will void the warranty. Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts only.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Correct use Do not leave the rangetop unattended when cooking on high power. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter, which can ignite on the range. Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water. Turn off the rangetop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable fire blanket.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The rangetop 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. You can burn yourself on a hot rangetop. When cooking on the appliance, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders or oven mitts. Only use dry pot holders or gloves. Wet or damp textiles conduct heat more effectively and produce steam, which poses a burn hazard.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Install the burner grates in an upright position to avoid scratching the cooktop. Remove all grease splatters and other flammable (food) residues on the rangetop. They are a fire hazard. Do not use pots or pans that are large enough to cover several burners. The resulting heat buildup can damage the appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The grates, burner cap, bottom parts of the burner, and any other parts located near the burner flame, can still be very hot after cooking and cause burns. Do not touch these components when using the rangetop. Wind can blow curtains over the rangetop, causing them to catch fire. If the range is installed near a window, do not use long curtains.

Control panel Burner knob Automatic re-ignition With the burner knob, you can ignite the burner and regulate the flame. The burners can be variably adjusted between the lowest and highest settings. Your rangetop is equipped with an automatic re-ignition function. If the flame goes out, e.g. because food has cooked over or there has been an air draft, the flame is automatically reignited. Depending on the model, the range will be equipped with Backlit burner control knobs.
Before first use Cleaning the rangetop for the first time Remove any protective foil and stickers. Using a soft sponge, clean all removable burner parts with a solution of warm water and a small amount of liquid dish soap. Dry the parts thoroughly after cleaning and reassemble the burners (see “Cleaning and care”). Remove the grilling grate and, using a soft sponge, clean it with a solution of warm water and a small amount of dishwashing liquid. Dry it thoroughly after cleaning.
Operation of the burners Fire hazard due to overheated food. Unattended food can overheat and ignite. Do not leave the cooktop unattended whilst it is being used. Turning on Do not turn the control knob clockwise past the “Off” position. Activating a control knob automatically produces a spark on all of the burners. This is normal and does not indicate a fault. You may notice a brief re-ignition (1-2 clicks) when turning on the appliance, e.g. because of a draft.
Operation of the burners 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.
Operation of the burners Simmer/Power burner Knob label Off High Simmer Description Gas supply is off: Burner off Strongest flame setting: Maximum power of upper and lower flame rings Weakest flame setting: Upper flame ring off Minimum power of lower flame ring Grill: Ceramic burner According to the model, the range has a grill. Knob label Description Off Gas supply is off: Grill off High Maximum power Low Minimum power Griddle plate: Ceramic burner According to the model, the range has a griddle.
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.
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 of the grill The grill has a ceramic burner that transfers intense heat to food, searing the outside to seal the juices. Full flexibility, depending on the food, from “Low” to “High” as power settings. Place the radiant plate on top of the frame . Assembling the grill Burn hazard! The burners must be turned off and allowed to cool completely. Place the grill into position. Risk of injury! Cleaning and care The cast-iron grill is heavy.
Operation of the grill Turning on the grill Always follow USDA guidelines on food safety. Press the control knob of the grill and turn it counterclockwise to “High.” If the burner fails to light, turn the control knob to the “Off” position. Air the room or wait at least 1 minute before trying again. If the second attempt also fails to light the burner, turn the control knob to the “Off” position and refer to the “Frequently asked questions” section.
Operation of the griddle The griddle is thermostatically controlled to maintain a consistent temperature. To prevent food from sticking, it is necessary to “season” the griddle prior to use (see “Before using for the first time”). Full flexibility, depending on the food, from “Low”, “Medium” and “High” as power settings. During heating, an LP gas griddle plate can emit a buzzing or growling sound. This is not an error.
Operation of the griddle Tips for frying Before each use, wipe the griddle with a damp cloth to remove dust or other residue. - Pre-heat the griddle plate thoroughly for 8 -10 minutes at the power level that you are going to be using for cooking. - Pat down wet food items with paper towel to prevent splatters during grilling. - Do not salt meat until after grilling, or it will be too dry. - For cooking with the griddle plate, you need only a little fat or none in the case of marinated food.
Cleaning and care Danger of burns! The burners must be turned off and the rangetop must be cooled. Danger of injury! The steam from a steam cleaner could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the rangetop. All rangetop surfaces can become discolored or damaged if unsuitable cleaning agents are used. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Remove any cleaning agent residues immediately. Always clean the rangetop after each use.
Cleaning and care Rangetop The surfaces of the burner components and grates will slightly lose their luster over time. This is completely normal and does not indicate damage to the material. Clean the entire rangetop after each use with a soft sponge, warm water and a small amount of liquid dish soap. Pre-soak any stubborn dirt or grime before cleaning. Dry the rangetop after using water to clean it. This helps prevent lime deposits.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the dishwasher-safe grilling grate Clean the grilling grate in the dishwasher or with warm water and liquid dish soap. When the grilling rack is strongly soiled, soak it and then remove the soiling with a brush. After that, let the rack dry thoroughly. Cleaning the griddle plate Burn hazard! Clean the grease catch pan with a soft sponge, dishwashing liquid, and warm water. Dry it thoroughly after cleaning.
