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.
The cabinetry and venting hood
should be installed first to prevent
damage to the cooktop.
The countertop must be bonded
with heat resistant (212 °F /100 °C)
adhesive to prevent distortion.
The cooktop can only be installed
as shown in the illustrations, while
maintaining the required safety
distances shown. Do not install the
cooktop between 2 tall cabinets, this is
a fire hazard.
aA 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"
(127 mm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.

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 the
nearest Miele Dealer or Technical
Service Department with specific
requirements.
Because of the heat radiated
downwards 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, in spite of this, 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, washer, dryer,
refrigerator or freezer. The high
temperatures radiating downwards from
this type of cooktop could damage
these appliances.
Make sure that the power cord to
the cooktop does not come in
contact with any mechanical parts once
the cooktop has been installed.
Safety di tance above the
appliance
Maintain a safety distance of at least
30" (760 mm), b, between the
appliance and any flammable objects
above, e.g. cabinetry, venting hood or
utensil rail. The minimum distance of
combustible surfaces located above
and to the side of the cooktop, c, is 18"
(457 mm).
If the manufacturer of these items
states a different figure, follow that
manufacturer’s recommendation..
If more than one appliance is
installed beneath a venting hood,
and they have different minimum
safety distances to the hood, adhere
to the greater safety distance.

aSpring clips
^Make the countertop cut-out following
the dimensions given in the
illustration.
^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
Instructions".
bThere must be at least 3 3/16" (81mm)
of usable depth on the right side of
the cut out.
^Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable
sealant to avoid swelling caused by
moisture. The materials used must be
heat resistant.
If, during installation, the seal around
the frame does not sit flush with the
countertop on the corners, the
corner radius max. R4 (3/16") can be
carefully filed down to fit.

In talling the pring clip
^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
securing them with the 3.5 x 25 mm
screws supplied.
Granite countertop
For granite countertops, the spring
clips, a, must be placed in position
and secured with strong, double-sided
adhesive tape. The edges of the spring

In talling the cooktop
^Feed the power cord down through
the cut-out and connect the
appliance 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
removed with a special tool.
The cooktop must not be
permanently sealed into the
countertop when installed. The
sealing strip under the edge of the
cooktop provides a sufficient seal for
the countertop.
If the cooktop is sealed into position,
the countertop or appliance could be
damaged if the cooktop needs to be
removed for maintenance or service.
