DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.

This cooktop is not suitable for installation and operation withaftermarket lids or covers fitted.


11

Correct use

The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a whileafter being switched off. There is a danger of burning until theresidual heat indicators go out.

DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE AS A SPACE HEATER.

Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the cooktopunattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite, do notattempt to put the flames out with water.Switch off the cooktop and use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid,damp towel or similar to smother the flames.

The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cookingprocess has to be supervised continuously.

Flames could set the grease filters of a rangehood on fire. Do notflambé under a rangehood.

DO NOT USE OR STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN THEAPPLIANCE STORAGE DRAWER OR NEAR THIS APPLIANCE.CUTLERY INSERTS MUST BE HEAT-RESISTANT.

DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THISAPPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION.

Do not heat an empty pan.

Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jarson the cooktop, as pressure can build up in the containers, causingthem to explode.

Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth orprotective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if thecooktop is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.


12

When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or bymistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk ofany metal items placed on the cooktop (e.g. cutlery) heating up.Depending on the material, other items left on the appliance couldalso melt or catch fire. Do not use the appliance as a resting placefor anything else.

You could burn yourself on the hot appliance. Protect your handswith heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots andpans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat totransfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding orburning yourself on steam. Be sure to keep all textiles away from thegas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, tea towels or other similarmaterials.

When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food mixer,near the cooktop, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliancecannot come into contact with the hot cooktop. The insulation on thecable could become damaged.

Even a light object can cause damage in certain circumstances.Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.

Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the cooktop.

When a control knob is pressed down, a spark is generated on theignitor of all burners. Do not press down any control knobs while youare cleaning or touching the cooktop or a burner in the vicinity of anignitor.

If a rangehood is installed above the cooktop, ensure that theburners are always covered with a pan when in use. Otherwiseflames could reach the rangehood, parts of which could then bedamaged or even set on fire.

Switch the burner off when a pan is removed, even for a shorttime.


13

Make sure all the components of the gas burner have beencorrectly assembled before switching on.

Pans must be the correct size for the burner they are used on (see“Suitable Pans”). A pan which is too small will be unstable on thepan support. If the pan diameter is too large, flames can spread outto the sides and damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings orsurrounding units and also parts of the cooktop. Miele cannot beheld liable for this type of damage.

Ensure that the flames from the burner do not spread out beyondthe base and up the sides of the pan.

Do not use pans with very thin bases on this cooktop, and neverheat up empty pans as they could get damaged. This could alsodamage the appliance.

The pan supports supplied with the appliance must always beused. Never place a pan on the burner itself.

Replace the pan supports carefully to avoid scratching the surfaceof the cooktop.

Remove all grease spatters and other combustible (food) residuesfrom the cooktop as soon possible. They are a fire hazard.

The use of the gas cooktop creates heat, moisture andcombustion products in the room where it is installed. Make surethat the appliance is installed in a location with sufficient ventilation.Natural ventilation openings should not be blocked. Alternatively, amechanical ventilation device (e.g. a rangehood) can be installed.

If the cooktop is used for very long periods of time, additionalventilation of the room may be necessary, e.g. by opening windowsor doors, or running the rangehood on the highest setting.

Do not use roasting dishes, pans or grilling stones that are largeenough to cover more than one burner. The resulting build-up ofheat could damage the appliance.


14

If the appliance has not been used for a long period of time itshould be thoroughly cleaned before it is used again. It is alsoadvisable to have the appliance tested by a qualified person forsafety.

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a shortcircuit.

Caring for the environment

15

– Select cookware that fits the size ofthe burner:Large diameter = large burnerSmall diameter = small burner

– Refer to the chart above and ensurethat the pan diameter falls within theminimum and maximum diametersgiven for the burner you are using. Ifthe pan diameter is too large, flamescan spread out to the sides anddamage or burn the worktop, wallcladdings or surrounding units andalso parts of the cooktop or otherappliances. Pans which are too smallfor the pan supports, or pans whichdo not sit securely on the pansupports, are dangerous and shouldnot be used.The correct size of pan improvescooking efficiency.

– Unlike pans that are used on anelectric cooktop, the bottom of pansused on a gas cooktop do not haveto be flat to deliver good cookingresults.

– Remember when purchasing newpans that manufacturers usually referto the diameter at the top of the panin their documentation.

– Any heat-resistant pans can be usedon a gas burner.

– Pans with thick bases are preferableas these distribute heat more evenly.With thin bases, there is a danger offood overheating in places. Stir thefood frequently.

– Always place cookware on the pansupport supplied with the appliance.Never place it directly on the burner.

– Position the pan centrally on the pansupport so that it sits securely andcannot tip. A little movement is quitenormal and not a cause for concern.

– Do not use pots or pans with basesupports.

Pans

24

Wok ring Use the wok ring supplied to give

additional stability to pans, especiallyto woks with a rounded base.

Place the wok ring on the pansupport so that it sits securely inposition and cannot move (seediagram).

The wok is unique among cookware inthat it has a small base diameter and alarge rim diameter (usually 35-40 cm).Woks are ideal for use on the wokburner.

Combination trivetThe combination trivet must be used ifyou wish to use a pot or pan with asmaller diameter base than theminimum given in the table.

Tips on saving energy

25

– Use a pan lid whenever possible tominimise heat loss.

– Wide, shallow pans are preferable totall, narrow ones. They will heat upfaster.

– Cook with as little water as possible.

– Reduce the power setting once thewater has come to the boil or the oilis hot enough to fry in.

– Use a pressure cooker to reducecooking times.

Operation

26

Rapid ignition systemThe appliance is supplied with a rapidignition system with the followingfeatures:

– Rapid ignition without pressing andholding the control,

– Automatic re-ignitionShould the flame be extinguished bya gust of air, the burner will re-igniteautomatically. If re-ignition isunsuccessful, the gas supply will becut off automatically (see “Ignitionsafety device”).

Switching on

Risk of fire with overheated food.Unattended food can overheat andignite.Do not leave the cooktop unattendedwhilst it is being used.

Press in the relevant control and turnit anti-clockwise to the large flamesymbol. The ignition electrode will“click” and ignite the gas.

When a control knob is activated, aspark is automatically generated on allburners. This is normal and does notindicate a fault.

If the burner does not ignite, turn thecontrol to “”. Ventilate the room orwait for at least 1 minute before tryingagain.

If the burner does not ignite thesecond time, turn the control back to“” and see “Problem solving guide”.

It is possible that when switching on, abrief re-ignition occurs (1–2 x clicks),e.g. if there is a draught.

Operation

27

Adjusting the flameThe burners can be regulated at anylevel between the strongest andweakest flame.

As the outer part of the flame is muchhotter than the centre, the tips of theflames should stay beneath the panbase. Flame tips which extend beyondthe sides of the pan merely warm upthe air in the room and can alsodamage pan handles and increase thedanger of injury.

Adjust the flame so that it does notspread out beyond the sides of thepan.

Safety instructions for installation

39

Damage from falling objects.Take care not to damage the cooktop when fitting wall units or a rangehoodabove it.Fit the wall units and the rangehood before the cooktop.

The veneer or laminate coatings of worktops (or adjacent kitchenunits) must be treated with 100 °C heat-resistant adhesive which willnot dissolve or distort. Any splashbacks must be of heat-resistantmaterial as well.

The cooktop must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer,freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.

A gas cooktop must not be installed directly next to a deep fatfryer as the gas flames could ignite the fat in the fryer. It is essentialto maintain a distance of at least 300 mm between these twoappliances.

When installing the cooktop, make sure that the gas hose andelectrical connection cable cannot come into contact with hotappliance parts.

The electrical cable and any flexible gas connection pipes must beinstalled in such a way so that they do not come into contact withany moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer), and cannot becometrapped.

Carefully observe the safety clearances listed on the followingpages.All dimensions in this instruction booklet are given in mm.

Safety distances

40

Safety distance above thecooktop

A minimum safety distance must bemaintained between the cooktop andthe rangehood above it. See therangehood manufacturer's operatingand installation instructions for details.

If the manufacturer's instructions arenot available for the rangehood, aminimum safety distance as per AS/NZS 5601.1 must be maintained.

For any flammable objects, e.g. utensilrails, wall units etc., a minimum safetydistance of 600 mm must bemaintained between these objects andthe highest part of the cooktop below.

When two or more appliances whichhave different safety distances areinstalled together below arangehood, you should observe thegreatest safety distance.

Safety distances

41

Safety distances to the sidesand back of the applianceIdeally the appliance should be installedwith plenty of space on either side.There may be a wall at the rear and atall unit or wall on one side (right or left).On the other side, however, no tall unitor wall should stand higher than theappliance. Before installing theappliance, check that the locationprovides the required clearances fromcombustible material and, if necessary,provide protection to adjacent surfacesas required by regulations.

Preparing the worktop Create the worktop cut-out as shown

in “Building-in dimensions”.Remember to maintain the minimumsafety distances (see “Safetydistances”).

Seal the cut surfaces with a suitableheat-resistant sealant to avoidswelling caused by moisture. Thesealant must be temperature-resistant.

Make sure the sealant does notcome into contact with the topsurface of the worktop.

The sealing strip ensures that thecooktop will sit securely in the cut-outwithout slipping. Any gap between theframe and worktop will becomesmaller over time.

Installing the cooktop Feed the mains connection cable

down through the worktop cut-out.

Place the cooktop centrally in thecut-out. When doing this make surethat the seal of the appliance sitsflush with the worktop on all sides.This is important to ensure aneffective seal all round.

If the seal does not meet the worktopcorrectly on the corners, the cornerradii (≤ R4) can be carefully scribed tosuit.

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

Connect the cooktop to the mainselectricity supply.

Connect the cooktop to the gassupply (see “Gas connection”).
