If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a qualified service technician (see “Installation – Electrical connection”).
During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the appliance must be completely disconnected from the household electricity supply. The gas supply must be shut off. Ensure that this is the case by:

• removing the fuse
• “tripping” the circuit breaker, or
• unplugging the unit. Pull the plug not the cord.
• Shut off the gas supply.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Danger of electric shock.
If the cooktop is defective, immediately turn the appliance off and discontinue use. Disconnect it from the electricity and gas supply. Contact Technical Service.
If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet (e.g., a door), do not close the cabinet door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build up behind the cabinet door when closed. This can result in damage to the cooktop, housing unit, and floor. Leave the cabinet door open until the cooktop has cooled down completely.
▶ Reaching over a hot cooktop to access the cabinets can result in burns. You can reduce the risk of burns by installing a ventilation hood that extends at least 434 " (12 cm) past the bottom of the cabinets.
▶ Ask your installer to show you the location of your gas shutoff valve and fuses or circuit breaker panel in your apartment or home. Be sure that you know how and where to disconnect the gas and power supply to your cooktop.

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. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter, which can ignite on the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance.

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 cooktop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable fire blanket.

▶ Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing agent or foam fire extinguisher.

The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire. Do not flambé under a ventilation hood.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances in a drawer under the appliance. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

▶ Never heat empty cookware.

Do not heat or can food in closed containers, such as tins or sealed jars, on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the container and cause it to explode.

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. Do not store items on the cooktop.
You can burn yourself on a hot cooktop. 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. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the gas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, dish towels or other similar materials.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near the cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into contact with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation could become damaged.
▶ Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high temperatures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum foil cookware.
▶ Pressing the knob generates a spark on the ignitor. Do not press the knob while you are cleaning or touching the cooktop or a burner in the vicinity of an ignitor.
A ventilation hood installed above the cooktop can become damaged or catch fire as a result of intense heat. Do not use the gas burners without cookware.
▶ Only light the gas burners after all burner parts have been properly assembled.

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.
▶ Always use the burner grates supplied with the cooktop. Never place cookware directly on the burner.
▶ Install the burner grates in an upright position to avoid scratching the cooktop.
Storage in or on the appliance: Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or in the vicinity of the cooktop.
Remove all grease splatters and other flammable (food) residues on the cooktop. They are a fire hazard.
▶ Avoid allowing liquids or foods containing salt to spill onto the cooktop. If salty foods or liquids do get on the cooktop, they should be removed as soon as possible to avoid the risk of corrosion.
Using of a gas cooktop causes heat, moisture and products of combustion to build up in the room in which it is installed. Make sure that your kitchen is well ventilated, especially when the appliance is in use: keep any natural means of ventilation open or install a mechanical ventilation system (e.g. a ventilation hood).
If the cooktop is used for very long periods of time, additional ventilation of the room may be necessary, e.g. by opening windows or doors, or running the ventilation on the highest setting.
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

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. Never allow loose clothing or flammable materials to come into contact with the burners while the burners are in use.
When you have finished cooking, make sure that the burners are turned off by checking the position of the knobs.
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 cooktop.
Wind can blow curtains over the cooktop, causing them to catch fire. If the cooktop is installed near a window, do not use long curtains.
▶ Only certain types of glass, ceramic or other enamel cookware can be used on a gas cooktop without breaking as a result of sudden temperature changes.
Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if they are used to wipe spilled food off a hot burner. Some cleansers can emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be careful when cleaning the cooktop.

Cleaning and maintenance

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.
The steam may reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
▶ Miele will guarantee to supply functional parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your cooktop.

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

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with gear-like grooves and mounting holes (no text or symbols)

The Wok ring supplied with your appli-ance can be used in instances where extra stability is required. It is particularly suitable for wok pans with rounded bases.

Cleaning the cooktop for the first time

■ Before first use, wipe down the appliance with a damp cloth and dry it.
■ 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”).

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.

The smell and any vapors do not indicate a faulty connection or a defective appliance and are not harmful to your health.

- 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.

- Unlike cookware that is used on an electric cooktop, the bottom of cookware used on a cooktop does not have to be flat to deliver effective cooking performance.

- When purchasing pots and pans, keep in mind that the diameter indicated is typically the top diameter, not the bottom diameter.

- All heat-resistant cookware is suitable for use.

- Cookware with a thick bottom is preferable, as it distributes heat more evenly. Cookware with a thin bottom may cause food to overheat in certain spots. To avoid this, stir the food frequently.

- Always place the cookware on the pot rests supplied. Do not place cookware directly on the burners.

- Position the cookware on the burner grate so that it cannot tip. There is always a possibility of a slight tilt, despite the proper position.

- Do not use pots or pans that have bottoms with pronounced edges.

Simple line drawing of a cooking pot with crossed black lines indicating resistance (no text or symbols)

• 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.

⚠️ Fire hazard due to overheated food.

Unattended food can overheat and ignite.

Do not leave the cooktop unattended whilst it is being used.

Rapid ignition system

The cooktop is supplied with a rapid ignition system with the following features:

• Rapid ignition without the need to hold the knob.
• Automatic re-ignition If the flame is extinguished by a draft, for example, the burner is automatically relit. If re-ignition is unsuccessful, the gas supply is automatically cut off (see “Safety features” – “Ignition safety”).

If there has been a power outage, the automatic re-ignition feature will not work properly.

Wok burner

You can place a wok pan on the wok burner without an additional wok ring.

Technical diagram of a mechanical component with a circular housing and internal slots, showing no text or symbols.

■ If you are using the wok ring, place it on the grate so that it sits securely in position and cannot move (see diagram).

Turning the appliance on

■ Press the knob lightly and turn it counter-clockwise to the large flame symbol.
■ Then press it down firmly to open the gas supply and let it go.

The ignition electrode “clicks” and ignites the gas.

When a knob is activated, a spark is developed automatically on all burners. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.

If the burner does not ignite, turn the knob to the • position. Ventilate the room or wait for at least 1 minute before trying again.
If the burner does not ignite the second time, turn the knob back to the position and see “Frequently asked questions”.

Brief re-ignition may occur during switch-on (1–2 x clicks), e.g., if there is a draft.

Switching on during a power outage

In case of a power outage, the flame can be ignited manually.

■ Press in the relevant control knob and turn it counterclockwise to the large flame symbol.
■ Hold the control knob pressed down and light the gas at the burner with a match.
- Keep the control knob pressed down for a further 5–10 seconds and then release it.

Adjusting the flame

The burners can be variably adjusted between the lowest and highest flame settings.

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.

Simple line drawing of a cooking pot with crossed-out black lines indicating prohibition (no text or symbols)

Line drawing of a cooking pot on a gas stove (no text or symbols)

■ Adjust the flame so that it never extends up the sides of the cookware.

Wok burner

Depending on the knob design, there may be a stopper at the 6 o'clock position to prevent you turning the knob to the high or low setting unintentionally.

■ Press the knob down lightly to move past this stopper.

Visual characteristics gas flames

	Yellow tips on outer conesNormal for propane gas
	Soft blue flamesyellow colour is only allowed at the tip of the inner coneNormal for natural gas

Switching off

■ Turn the control knob clockwise to the • position.

This stops the flow of gas and the flame goes out.

Ignition safety

The cooktop is equipped with an ignition safety device. If a gas flame is extinguished (e.g., by food boiling over or by a draft) and re-ignition does not work, the gas supply is switched off. This prevents the release of gas. If you turn the knob to the • position, the burner is ready for use again.

The flame failure device operates independently from the electricity supply. This means that it will still work if the cooktop is used during a power outage.

Danger of burning due to hot ces.

The cooktop surface, grates, and burners will be hot after use.

Allow the cooktop to cool down before cleaning it.

Risk of damage due to moisture s.

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.

All surfaces could be discolored or damaged if unsuitable cleaning agents are used. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching.

Remove all cleaning agent residues immediately.

Do not clean with any abrasive or sharp pointed objects.

Food boiling over can cause discoloration of the burner components.

Remove any soiling and salt and sugar splashes immediately.

Pressing the knob generates a spark on the ignitor. Do not press the knob while you are cleaning or touching the cooktop or a burner in the vicinity of an ignitor.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

To avoid damaging the surfaces of the appliance, do not use:

• cleaning agents containing soda, alkalines, ammonia, acids, or chlorides,
• cleaning agents containing lime scale remover
• stain or rust removers
• abrasive cleaning agents, such as scouring powder, scouring liquid, or pumice stones
• cleaning agents containing solvents
• dishwasher cleaner
• grill and oven sprays
• glass cleaners
• hard, abrasive brushes or sponges (e.g., pot scourers), or sponges which have been previously used and still contain abrasive cleaning agents
• eraser sponges

■ The entire cooktop should be cleaned after each use.
■ Soften any stubborn soiling beforehand.
■ Dry the cooktop after using water to clean it. This helps prevent lime deposits.

Stainless-steel cooktop

Risk of damage caused by ed objects.

The seal between the cooktop and the countertop could be damaged.

Do not use pointed objects for cleaning.

Damage due to soiling.

Soiling, particularly salty food or liquid and olive oil, can cause damage if left on the printed surfaces for a long time.

Remove such soiling immediately.

Damage due to incorrect clean-

Stainless-steel cleaners rub off the printed symbols.

Do not use stainless-steel cleaners on printed symbols.

■ Clean the stainless-steel cooktop with a soft sponge, warm water, and a small amount of liquid dish soap.
Soften any stubborn soiling beforehand. If necessary, the rough side of a kitchen sponge can be used.

■ Finally, dry with a clean soft cloth.

Grates

■ Remove the grates.
■ Clean the grates in a dishwasher or with a solution of warm water and a little liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge. Soften any stubborn soiling beforehand.
■ Dry the the grates thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Control knobs

The control knobs are not dish-washer safe.

The control knobs should only be cleaned by hand.

The control knobs may become discolored if they are not cleaned regularly.

Clean the control knobs after each use.

■ Clean the knobs with a soft sponge, warm water, and a small amount of liquid dish soap.

Burner

Cleaning the burners

Do not clean any parts of the burner in a dishwasher.

■ The burner should be dismantled and then cleaned only by hand using a solution of warm water and a small amount of liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge.

Technical diagram of a mechanical component with labeled parts (1), showing concentric rings and a central cylindrical feature (no text or symbols beyond labels)

■ Clean any soiling from the flame openings ① with the brush supplied.

Risk of explosion.

Blocked flame openings can cause a dangerous build-up of gas in the base of the cooktop, which could ignite and cause an explosion. This can lead to damage to the appliance and injury.

Ensure the flame openings are kept clean at all times.

■ Parts of the burner that cannot be removed should be wiped clean with a damp cloth only.
■ The ignitor and ignition safety device should be very carefully wiped clean using a well wrung-out cloth.

Do not let the ignitor get wet. If it gets wet, it will not spark.

■ Finally dry everything thoroughly with a clean cloth. Make sure that the flame openings are completely dry.

The surface of the burner cap will become more matte with time. This is quite normal and does not indicate damage to the material.

Assembling the wok burner

Installation

Preparing the countertop

■ Create the countertop cut-out as shown in the cooktop diagram. Remember to maintain the minimum safety distances (see “Installation – Safety distances”).
■ Seal any cut surfaces on the wooden countertop with a special varnish, silicone rubber, or resin to prevent the wood from swelling as a result of moisture. The sealant must be temperature-resistant.

Ensure that the sealant does not get on the top surface of the countertop.

The sealing strip ensures that the cooktop will sit securely in the cut-out without slipping. Any gap between the trim and countertop will become smaller over time.

Installing the cooktop

■ Feed the appliance power cord down through the counter cut-out.
■ Place the cooktop centrally in the cut-out. When doing this make sure that the seal of the appliance sits flush with the countertop on all sides. This is important to ensure an effective seal all round.

If during installation the seal around the frame does not sit flush with the countertop in the corners, the corner radius, maximum 3/16" (≤ R4/ 4 mm), can be carefully filed down to fit.

Do not use any additional sealant (e.g. silicone).

■ Connect the cooktop to the electrical power supply (see “Installation – Electrical connection”).
- Connect the cooktop to the gas supply (see “Installation – Gas connection”).

Securing the cooktop

The brackets are suitable for securing the cooktop in a flush-fit or proud installation. The illustrations show the cooktop secured in a proud installation.

3/4" (20 mm)

11/4" (30 mm)

1½" (40 mm)

- Secure the cooktop using the brackets supplied.

Checking for proper function

■ After installing the cooktop, ignite all burners to check that they are operating correctly:

- The flame must not go out on the lowest setting, or when the control is turned quickly from the highest to the lowest setting.

- On the highest setting, the flame must have a distinctive and visible core.

Gas connection

⚠️ Connection to the gas supply may only be performed by a duly authorized technician. This technician is responsible for proper function at the installation site. In Massachusetts, the gas connection may be performed only by a certified gas installer.

The appliance must be connected with its own shut-off valve. The shut-off valve must be accessible and visible, after the opening of a cabinet door, if necessary.

The gas connection can be to natural gas or propane gas according to the model. Ask your gas company what kind of gas is used and compare it with the specifications on the data plate.

The appliance is not connected to an exhaust vent. During the setup and connection of the appliance, observe the applicable installation conditions, especially suitable ventilation measures.

Arrange the gas connections in such a way that they are not heated and damaged by the operation of the appliance. In particular, make sure that the gas hose lines and connection fittings on the applinace do not come into contact with hot exhaust gases

The gas hose and power cord could be damaged by hot spots on the appliance. Make sure that the gas hose and power cord do not come into contact with hot spots on the appliance.

Flexible connection lines can be damaged by incorrect routing. Attach flexible connecting lines in such a way so that they do not come into contact with any moving kitchen parts (e.g., a drawer) and are not exposed to mechanical stress.

Disconnect the appliance and the shut-off valve from the gas supply before performing a gas pressure test at a pressure of more than 12 psi (3.5 kPA). Close the shut-off valve of the gas supply before performing a gas pressure test at a pressure of less than or equal to 12 psi (3.5 kPA).

Incorrectly sealed gas lines can lead to a gas leak and thus to an explosion. Seal all gas lines with a suitable thread sealant.

Seal tightness tests on the appliance must be performed according to manufacturer specifications.

The gas connection must be made in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with: National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z 223.1 / NFPA No. 54 for the United States or the current Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.l. for Canada.

The gas pressure may not under-shoot or exceed certain values. Make sure that the maximum gas pressure upstream of the gas pressure controller does not amount to more than 12 psi (3.5 kPA) for natural and propane gas. Make sure that the minimum gas supply pressure amounts to 6" w.c. for natural gas and 1" w.c. for propane gas.

The gas connection of the appliance is designed for natural gas or propane gas according to the ordered model.

If the appliance is not equipped with the correct connection for the gas type in your household, contact your Miele dealer.

Gas pressure regulator

The cooktop is supplied together with a gas pressure regulator that can be converted from natural gas to liquid propane or from liquid propane to natural gas. The regulator is supplied configured for the type of gas to which the cooktop is designed to be connected. Check this prior to installation.

Pressure setting:

Natural gas 4" w.c.

Liquid propane 1 ^™ w.c.

Technical diagram showing a mechanical assembly with labeled parts 1, 2, and 3, and a central bolted component.

① Cooktop
② 12 " NPT gas connection
③ Regulator

The regulator must be installed as shown in the diagram when you connect the Miele Cooktop to your gas connection. The regulator has been adapted by Miele to meet all statutory safety requirements. The regulator must be easily accessible after the cooktop has been installed.

A flexible steel hose approved by the AGA or CGA can be used between the gas connection and the regulator. This flexible hose enables the cooktop to be lifted out of the cut-out for maintenance or repair work. Check to make sure that no drawers, doors, or similar come into contact with this flexible hose.

Gas leak due to unsuitable regulator. Only use the regulator supplied by Miele.

If you are in any doubt, contact Miele Customer Service.

Leakage test

■ After connecting the appliance check all fittings for gas leaks e.g. with soapy water.
