valve and disconnect the power  
supply by either removing the fuse,  
unplugging the unit or manually  
"tripping" the circuit breaker.  
When using your gas appliance  
follow basic safety precautions  
including the following:  
Do not connect the appliance to  
the main electrical supply by an  
extension cord. Extension cords do not  
guarantee the required safety of the  
appliance.  
Read all instructions before using  
for the first time.  
Be certain your appliance is  
properly installed and grounded by  
a qualified technician.  
This equipment has not been  
designed for maritime use or for  
use in mobile installations such as  
aircraft or recreational vehicles.  
However, under certain circumstances  
it may be possible for an installation in  
these applications. Please contact  
Miele Technical Service with specific  
requirements.  
To guarantee the electrical safety  
of this appliance, continuity must  
exist between the appliance and an  
effective grounding system. It is  
imperative that this basic safety  
requirement be met. If there is any  
doubt, have the electrical system of the  
house checked by a qualified  
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be  
held responsible for damages caused  
by the lack, or inadequacy of, an  
effective grounding system.  
After connecting the appliance test  
for leaks according to the  
installation instructions.  
If there is any doubt concerning  
installation contact Miele Technical  
Service.  
Install the appliance so that the  
power cord or gas piping does not  
come into contact with any portion of  
the cooktop which may become hot  
during use.

Before using the cooktop  
Cleaning the cooktop  
Metal components have a protective  
coating which may give off a slight  
smell the first time your new appliance  
is heated.  
Before using for the first time clean the  
appliance as follows:  
^ Wash the removeable parts of the  
gas burner in a mild solution of water  
and liquid dish soap. Wipe dry and  
reassemble them in the proper order  
(see the "Cleaning and Care"  
section).  
The harmless smell will dissipate after a  
short time and do not indicate a faulty  
connection or appliance defect.  
^ Wipe the cooktop with a damp cloth  
and dry thoroughly.

Using the cooktop  
Turning on and off  
Turning on  
The control knobs are used to turn the  
burners on and regulate the strength of  
the flames.  
^ To turn on the burner, press the  
control knob down and turn it  
counterclockwise to the large flame  
symbol. The ignitor will click and  
ignite the gas.  
^ When the flame appears, keep the  
control knob pressed in for  
8-10 seconds to allow the Ignition  
Safety Control to reach operating  
temperature and release it.  
If the flame goes out, repeat the above  
procedure, keeping the control knob  
pressed in for a few extra seconds.  
^ Adjust the knob between the large  
and small flame to the desired setting.

Highest flame  
Lowest flame  
Since the outer portion of the flame is  
much hotter than the center, the flame  
should be set so that its tips do not  
extend beyond the sides of the pan.  
Flame tips which extend beyond the  
sides of the pan are hazardous.  
Turning off  
^ Turn the knob clockwise to "Off".  
This stops the flow of gas and turns off  
the burner.  
Do not turn the knob clockwise past  
the 12 o’clock position or  
counterclockwise past the 5 o’clock  
position. Forcing it beyond these  
positions will damage the gas  
regulator.

Unlike pans used on an electric  
cooktop, the bases do not need to be  
even for good results.  
– Generally, wide / shallow pans will  
heat up quicker and cook more  
evenly than narrow / tall ones.  
Thick pan bases will give more even  
results, hot spots are reduced due to  
better heat distribution.  
Thin pan bases will conduct the heat  
faster but not as evenly as thick pan  
bases. Stir the food frequently to  
prevent burning.

– Do not use small pans with high  
flame settings as the flame can climb  
the sides of the pan.  
– Pots with a smaller diameter than the  
pan support and pots that do not sit  
securely (without wobbling) are  
hazardous and should not be used.

Cleaning and Care  
Cooktop  
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean  
this cooktop. Pressurized steam  
could cause permanent damage to  
the surface and to components for  
which the manufacturer cannot  
accept responsibility.  
^ Let the appliance cool to a safe  
temperature and remove the pan  
supports.  
^ Clean the pan supports, cooktop and  
knobs with a sponge and a mild  
solution of warm water and liquid  
dish soap.  
Do not use any sharp pointed  
objects which could damage the  
seal between the frame and the  
countertop.  
^ Soak baked or hardened spills.  
^ Dry the cooktop and pan supports  
thoroughly after cleaning.  
Never use scouring agents, pads,  
abrasive cleaning agents, or strong  
cleaners e.g. oven sprays, stain or  
rust removers, as these could  
damage the surface of the  
appliance.  
^ Use a non-abrasive cleaner for the  
stainless steel surface of the cooktop.  
Apply with even pressure following  
the direction of the "grain".  
^ To help prevent re-soiling, a  
conditioner for stainless steel can  
also be used. Apply sparingly with  
even pressure.  
Keep the ignitor in the burner dry. If  
it gets wet it will not spark.  
Dry your cooktop thoroughly after  
cleaning it to prevent lime deposits.  
Stainless steel colored knobs  
Spills of liquids or food containing  
salt or sugar should be removed  
immediately before they cause  
stains.  
These controls may become  
discolored or damaged if not  
cleaned regularly.  
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner  
on the knobs.  
Clean the appliance regularly,  
preferably after each use.

Cleaning and Care  
Burners  
Reassembling the burner  
The burner can be dismantled and  
cleaned when cool.  
Dismantling and cleaning  
^ Remove the burner parts and wash  
them in a solution of hot water and  
liquid dish soap.  
^ Dry them thoroughly. Make sure that  
the flame holes are clean and  
completely dry.  
The shiny surfaces of the burner caps  
will dull with time and usage. This is  
normal and will not affect the operation  
of the cooktop.  
^ Clean the burner base, the ignitor  
and Ignition Safety Control with a  
damp cloth and then dry with a soft  
cloth.  
Be careful not to mix up the parts. Make  
sure that all the locating tabs and  
notches align exactly.  
The ignitor must be thoroughly dry, or it  
will not spark.  
^ Place the burner head, m, onto the  
burner base, n, so that the Ignition  
Safety Control, o, and ignitor, p,  
extend through their respective holes.  
^ Return the burner cap, l.  
^ Return the pan support.
