Note to the installer:
Please leave these instructions with
the consumer.
Installation
The minimum distances given in
these instructions must be observed
to ensure safe operation and to re-
duce the risk of fire.
To prevent damage, install cabinetry
and the venting hood before install-
ing the cooktop.
The countertop must be bonded
with heat resistant (212 °F/100 °C)
adhesive to prevent distortion or dis-
solving.
The cooktop should only be in-
stalled as shown in the illustrations,
while maintaining the required safety
distances shown. Do not install the
cooktop between two tall cabinets as
this is a fire hazard.
A minimum distance of 2" (50 mm)
from the cooktop to the rear wall and
a side wall must be maintained for
safety.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire
by reaching over heated surfaces,
cabinet storage space above the
cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet
storage is necessary, the risk can be
reduced by installing a venting hood to
project horizontally a minimum of 5" be-
yond the bottom of the cabinets.

This equipment has not been de-
signed for maritime use or for use
in mobile installations such as aircraft
or recreational vehicles. However, un-
der certain circumstances it may be
possible for an installation in these ap-
plications. Please contact the nearest
Miele Dealer or the Miele Technical Ser-
vice Department with specific require-
ments.
Because of the heat radiated from
this type of appliance we do not
recommend installing it over a drawer. It
should be installed in a cabinet base
unit with a dummy drawer front and an
additional protective barrier beneath
the unit.
If there is a drawer directly underneath
the cooktop, do not store aerosols,
combustible liquids or easily flammable
materials in it. If cutlery inserts are
placed in the drawer, they must be heat
resistant.
The cooktop must not be installed
over a dishwasher, washing ma-
chine, dryer, refrigerator or freezer. The
high radiant temperatures radiating
downwards from this type of cooktop
could damage these appliances.
Make sure that the power cord to
the cooktop does not come into
contact with any mechanical parts once
the cooktop has been installed.
Safety distance above the
coo top
As a general rule there must be a safety
distance of at least 30" (760 mm) b,
between the appliance and any flam-
mable objects above, e.g. cabinetry,
venting hood or utensil rail. If the manu-
facturer of these items states a different
figure, then this safety distance should
be followed.
If more than one appliance is in-
stalled beneath a venting hood, and
they have different minimum safety
distances to the hood, select the
higher safety distance of the two.

^Make the countertop cut-out following
the dimensions given in the illustra-
tion.
^Remember to maintain a minimum
distance of 2" (50 mm) between the
rear wall and a right or left hand side
wall. See also "Important safety in-
structions".
^Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable
heat resistant sealant to avoid swell-
ing caused by moisture.
If, during installation, the seal around
the frame does not sit flush with the
countertop on the corners, the cor-
ner radius max. R4 (3/8") can be
carefully filed down to fit.
*Use max. 3/8" drill bit.

Installing the spring clips
^Fix the supplied spring clips, a, at
the marked positions as shown
above, by laying them on the upper
edge of the cut-out and then secur-
ing them with the 3.5 x 25 mm screws
supplied.
Granite countertops
For granite countertops, the spring
clips, b, must be placed in position
and secured with double-sided tape.
In addition, coat the edges of the
spring clips with silicone sealant.
The screws are not needed for granite
countertops.

Installing the coo top
^Feed the power cord down through
the cut-out and connect the appli-
ance to the power supply.
^Position the cooktop on the spring
clips, a.
^Then with a hand on each side of the
cooktop press down on the edges
evenly until it clicks into position.
When doing so make sure that the
cooktop seal sits tightly on the
countertop to ensure a correct seal is
provided.
The cooktop can now only be re-
moved with a special tool.
The cooktop must not be perma-
nently sealed into the countertop
when installed.
If the cooktop is sealed into position,
the countertop or appliance could be
damaged if the cooktop needs to be re-
moved for maintenance or service. The
sealing strip under the edge of the top
part of the cooktop provides a sufficient
seal for the countertop.
