This appliance complies with all relevant local and national safety
requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however,
present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance,
please read these instructions carefully before installation and
using it for the first time. They contain important notes on
installation, safety, operation and care.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users

shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

Safety with children
~This appliance is not a toy! To prevent the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play with it or use the controls. Please supervise
children whilst you are using the appliance.
~Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the hob
unless they are constantly supervised.
~Children 8 years and older may only use, clean or maintain the
hob without supervision if they have been shown how to do so in a
safe way and understand the hazards involved.

while after it has been switched off. Keep children well away from
the appliance until it has cooled down and there is no danger of
burning.
~Do not store anything which might arouse a child's interest in
storage areas above or next to the hob. Otherwise they could be
tempted into climbing onto the appliance. Danger of burning.
~Keep all pans out of reach of children. Turn pan handles inwards
away from the edge of the hob. Danger of burning or scalding.
~Packaging, e.g. polystyrene and plastic wrappings, must be kept
out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all packaging safely as soon as
possible.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

Technical safety
~Before installation, check the appliance for visible signs of
damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. It could be
dangerous.
~The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if
correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is observed and tested regularly, and where there is
any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. Miele cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric
shock).
~Before connecting the appliance to the mains electricity supply,
make sure that the data quoted on the data plate match the
household mains supply, otherwise the appliance could be
damaged. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
~Connection to the gas supply must be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current
local and national safety regulations, e.g. a Gas Safe registered
technician in the U.K.
If the appliance is supplied without a plug, or if the plug is removed,
it must be connected to the mains electricity supply by a suitably
qualified and competent electrician in strict accordance with current
local and national safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or
connection.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has
been built in.
~Never open the outer casing of the appliance. Tampering with
electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
~Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carried out by
a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with
current national and local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.
Miele cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
~During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the gas supply and mains electricity
supply.
~While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician authorised by Miele. Otherwise
the guarantee is invalidated.
~Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety
of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
~If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a
suitably qualified electrician with a special connection cable of type
H 05 V V-F (pvc insulated), available from the Miele Spare Parts
Department.
~Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
~Do not use the hob if it is faulty. Switch it off immediately and
disconnect it from the mains electricity supply and the gas supply.
Call the Service Department.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

~In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which
may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered
by the guarantee.
Correct use
~The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for quite a
while after it has been switched off. Do not touch it whilst it could still
be hot.
~If a cooker hood is installed above the gas hob, ensure that the
burners are always covered with a pan when in use. Otherwise
flames could reach the cooker hood, parts of which could then be
damaged or set on fire.
~Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used. Oil
and fat are potential fire hazards as they can ignite if overheated.
~If oil or fat does catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames
with water. Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or
similar to smother the flames.
~Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire.
The life of the appliance could also be reduced.
~Always use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when working
with a hot appliance. Ensure that they do not come into contact with
the flames. Do not use large cloths, tea towels or similar as the ends
could touch the flames and catch fire. Take care not to let the gloves
get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material
more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.
~Do not flambé under a cooker hood. The flames could set the
cooker hood on fire.
Warning and Safety instructions
14

~Do not use the appliance as a resting place for anything else. The
article could melt or catch fire if residual heat is still present or if the
appliance is switched on by mistake.
~Do not cover the appliance, e.g. with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This
could be a fire hazard if residual heat is still present or the appliance
is switched on by mistake.
~Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high
temperatures and could catch fire.
~Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob as pressure will
build up in the tin, causing it to explode. This could result in injury
and scalding or damage.
~Make sure all the components of the gas burners have been
correctly assembled before switching on.
~Pans must be the correct size for the burner they are used on
(see "Suitable pans"). 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 hob. 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.
~Unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so, do not
use pans with very thin bases on this hob, and never heat up empty
pans as they could get damaged. This could also damage the
appliance.
~The pan support supplied must always be used. Pans must not
be placed directly on the burner.
~Do not store any inflammable objects near the gas hob.
Warning and Safety instructions
15

~Remove splashes of fat and other food debris from the surface as
soon as possible. These are a fire hazard.
~Replace the pan supports carefully to avoid scratching the
surface of the hob.
~Using the gas hob will cause a build-up of heat and moisture in
the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the room has sufficient
natural or mechanical means of ventilation, e.g. an extractor.
~If the hob 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 extractor on the highest setting.
~When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food
blender, near the gas hob, ensure that the cable of the electrical
appliance does not come into contact with the hot appliance. The
insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an
electric shock hazard.
~Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances must
not be stored in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be
heat-resistant.
~Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. Some
foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by
thorough cooking at a sufficiently high temperature for long enough.
Therefore, when cooking or reheating food such as poultry, it is
particularly important that the food is completely cooked through. If
in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.
~Do not use pans that are large enough to cover more than one
burner. The resulting build-up of heat could damage the appliance.
~Avoid allowing liquids or foods containing salt to spill onto the
hob. If salty foods or liquids do get on the hob, they should be
removed as soon as possible to avoid the risk of corrosion.
Warning and Safety instructions
16

~If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may
only be used with the furniture door open.
Only close the door if the appliance is switched off.
~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 for safety.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should 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.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. They are,
however, essential for the correct
functioning of your appliance. Please
do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be disconnected from the
mains electricity and gas supplies by a
competent person.
Caring for the environment

sales service" section of this booklet.
Cleaning for the first time
^Remove any protective foil and adhesive labels.
^Clean all removable parts of the burners with a solution of
warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a
soft sponge. Dry all parts thoroughly after cleaning and
then reassemble the burners (see "Cleaning and care").
^Clean the stainless steel trough with a damp cloth, and
then wipe dry.
The metal components have a protective coating which
may give off a slight smell when heated up for the first time.
The smell and any vapours will dissipate after a short time,
and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance.
