Installation
The minimum distances given in
these Installation Instructions must
be observed in order 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 2 tall
cabinets as this is a fire hazard.
a= minimum safety distance
KM 404 = 10" (250 mm)
KM 406 = 10" (250 mm)
Deep fryers must not be installed
next to gas cooktops. Gas flames
can ignite splattering oil. A distance of
at least 12" (305 mm) should be
maintained between these two
appliances.

Cooktops should not be installed
above a dishwasher, washer, dryer,
freezer or refrigerator. The heat
generated by cooktops could damage
these appliances.
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 a
Miele Dealer or Miele’s Technical
Service Department with specific
requirements.
This appliance must be installed
with its own shut off valve and gas
pressure regulator. Both the valve
and the regulator must be easily
accessible to the consumer after the
appliance is installed.
This appliance must be
disconnected from the gas supply
during any pressure testing of that
system performed in excess of ½psi
(3.5 kPa), or isolated at test
pressures equal to or less than ½psi
(3.5 kPa).
Any pipe connections must be made
using a thread sealant approved for
gas connections. Failure to correctly
install these items could lead to a
gas leak and subsequent explosion.
Safety distance above the
cooktop
There must be a minimum safety
distance of at least 30 inches (760 mm)
between the top of the cooktop and any
cabinet above it, b. The overhead
cabinet depth, if unprotected, must not
exceed 13 inches. If the cabinet
manufacturer recommends a different
distance, follow that manufacturer’s
recommendation.
When installing the cooktop under a
venting hood, always observe the
minimum distances recommended
by the hood manufacturer.
Keep this instruction book in a safe
place and pass it on to any future
owner

All Miele combisets have the same
length and width. Make sure that there
is enough room under the countertop to
allow for the depth of the various
appliances. Remember to allow
clearance for the gas regulator and gas
pipe that must be connected to the
appliance.
The following distances must be
maintained for safety:
– Between the cooktop and rear wall:
2" (50 mm)
–Between the cooktop and side wall
or cabinet:
10" (250 mm)
Refer to section "IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" for further installation
information.

When installing more than one
combiset cooktop, a support bar
must be installed between the
appliances. Install the support bars
as shown in the relevant section
before setting the appliances into
the countertop.

Securing the support bars
Wood or Corian countertops
^Arrange the bars, b, as shown in the
illustration.
^Drill 1/16" (1.5 mm) pilot holes through
the brackets and secure them using
the supplied screws.
^Fill the gap, c, between the bars and
the countertop using the supplied
silicon sealant.
Granite countertops
For granite countertops, the support
bars, b, can be secured with double
sided tape or construction adhesive.
Do not allow the bars to "float", they
must be securely fastened. Fill the gap,
c, between the bars and the
countertop using the supplied silicon
sealant.
The screws are not necessary for
granite countertops.
Securing the support brackets
^Place the brackets, a, as shown in
the illustration.
^Drill two 1/16" (1.5 mm) pilot holes for
each bracket and secure them using
the supplied screws.
Granite countertops
A granite countertop must be
prepared with a hole drilled at the
position indicated to secure each
support bracket (see illustrations).
Using a piece of double sided tape or
construction adhesive press the
support brackets supplied, a, onto the
position indicated in the illustration,
flush with the top edge of the
