Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including
removal of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a
Miele authorised technician.
 Damage to the cooktop can compromise your safety. Check the
appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use the cooktop if it is
damaged.
 Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-
mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks,
back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that
the energy supply system complies with all current local and national
requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery
systems.
The protective measures provided in the installation and in this Miele
product must also be assured in their function and operation in
isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or
replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It
is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and
tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring
system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
 Before connecting the appliance to the mains electricity supply,
ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and
frequency) matches the mains electricity supply. This data must
correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance.
 Do not connect the cooktop to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and
do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 For safety reasons, this cooktop may only be used after it has
been built in.
 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
 Never open the casing of the cooktop.
Touching or tampering with electrical connections or components
and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele authorised service technician.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
 The cooktop is not intended for use with an external timer switch
or a remote control system.
 The connection to the gas supply must be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent gas fitter in accordance with
current local and national safety regulations (see “Installation – Gas
connection”). In Australia and New Zealand, gas installations must
be in accordance with AS/NZS 5601. If the plug has been removed
or the connection cable is not supplied with a plug, the appliance
must be connected to the mains supply by a suitably qualified
electrician.
 If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special mains connection cable by a qualified and competent
electrician in order to avoid a hazard (see “Installation - Electrical
connection”).

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be completely disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
The gas supply must also be turned off. It is only completely isolated
from the gas and electricity supply when:
- the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or
- it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
- the gas inlet valve is closed.
 Danger of electric shock! If the ceramic surface is faulty, cracked,
chipped or damaged in any way, do not use the cooktop or switch it
off immediately. Disconnect it from the mains electricity and gas
supply. Contact Miele.
 If the cooktop is installed behind a furniture door, do not close the
door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and moisture can build
up behind the closed door. This can result in damage to the cooktop,
the housing unit and the floor. Do not close the door until the
appliance has cooled down and the residual heat indicators have
gone out.
 In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
 DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.
 This cooktop is not suitable for installation and operation with
aftermarket lids or covers fitted.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
Correct use
 The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while
after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the
residual heat indicators go out.
 DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE AS A SPACE HEATER.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the cooktop
when it is in use could catch fire.
 Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite, do not
attempt 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 cooking
process has to be supervised continuously.
 Flames could set the grease filters of a rangehood on fire. Do not
flambé under a rangehood.
 DO NOT USE OR STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN THE
APPLIANCE STORAGE DRAWER OR NEAR THIS APPLIANCE.
CUTLERY INSERTS MUST BE HEAT-RESISTANT.
 DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS
APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION.
 Do not heat an empty pan.
 Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the cooktop, as pressure can build up in the containers, causing
them to explode.
 Do not cover the cooktop, e.g. with a cooktop cover, a cloth or
protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the
cooktop is switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of
any metal items placed on the cooktop (e.g. cutlery) heating up.
Depending on the material, other items left on the appliance could
also melt or catch fire. Do not use the appliance as a resting place
for anything else.
 You could burn yourself on the hot appliance. Protect your hands
with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself on steam. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the
gas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, tea towels or other similar
materials.
 When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food mixer,
near the cooktop, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance
cannot come into contact with the hot cooktop. The insulation on the
cable 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 the
ignitor. Do not press down the control knob while you are cleaning or
touching the cooktop or a burner in the vicinity of an ignitor.
 A rangehood installed above the cooktop can be damaged or
catch fire as a result of intense heat. Do not use the burners without
cookware in place.
 Switch the burner off when a pan is removed, even for a short
time.
 Make sure all the components of the gas burner have been
correctly assembled before switching on.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
 Pans must be the correct size for the burner they are used on (see
“Suitable cookware”). A pan which is too small will be unstable on
the pan support. If the pan diameter is too large, flames can spread
out to the sides and damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings or
surrounding units and also parts of the cooktop. Miele cannot be
held liable for this type of damage.
 Ensure that the flames from the burner do not spread out beyond
the base and up the sides of the pan.
 Do not use pans with very thin bases on this cooktop, and never
heat up empty pans as they could get damaged. This could also
damage the appliance.
 The pan supports supplied with the appliance must always be
used. Never place a pan on the burner itself.
 Replace the pan supports carefully to avoid scratching the surface
of the cooktop.
 Remove all grease spatters and other combustible (food) residues
from the cooktop as soon as possible. They are a fire hazard.
 The use of the gas cooktop creates heat, moisture and
combustion products in the room where it is installed. Make sure
that the appliance is installed in a location with sufficient ventilation.
Natural ventilation openings should not be blocked. Alternatively, a
mechanical ventilation device (e.g. a rangehood) can be installed.
 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 rangehood on the highest setting.
 Do not use roasting dishes, pans or grilling stones that are large
enough to cover more than one burner. The resulting build-up of
heat could damage the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
 If the appliance has not been used for a long period of time it
should be thoroughly cleaned before it is used again. It is also
advisable to have the appliance tested by a qualified person for
safety.
Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the
discontinuation of your cooktop.

Caring for the environment
15
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.
