Installation
The minimum distances given in
these Installation instructions are to
combustible surfaces, and must be
observed to ensure safe operation.
Failure to do so increases the risk of
fire.
To prevent damage to the cooktop,
the cabinetry and venting hood
should be installed first.
Gas appliances should only be
installed in a well ventilated area.
The countertop must be bonded
with heat resistant (212 °F / 100 °C)
adhesive to prevent distortion or
dissolving.
The cooktops should only be
installed as shown in the
illustrations, while maintaining the
required safety distances shown. Do
not install the cooktop between two tall
cabinets, this is a fire hazard.

connecting the Miele cooktop to your
gas supply. This item has been
customized by Miele to meet all
applicable safety requirements. Make
sure the regulator is easily accessible
for adjustment after the appliance has
been installed.
For convenience, an AGA or CGA
approved flexible stainless steel gas
hose (accordion type) may be used
between the gas connection and the
regulator. This will allow the appliance
to be lifted out of the countertop for
cleaning or servicing. Make sure that
any drawers, cabinet doors, etc., do not
rub on this gas hose.
Do not use any regulator unless it
has been supplied by Miele. Doing
so may cause a gas leak.
