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

Warning and Safety instructions
9

Safety with children
~This appliance is not a toy! To prevent the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play with the appliance or its controls.
~Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the hob
unless they are constantly supervised.
~Children 8 years and older may use the appliance only if they
have been shown how to use it in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved.

remain hot for quite a while after being 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 with the risk of burning
themselves.
~Keep all pans out of reach of children. Turn pan handles inwards
away from the edge of the hob. Danger of burning or scalding.
Special hob guards are available from good retail outlets.
~Packaging, e.g. cling film, 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
10

Technical safety
~Before installation, check the appliance for visible signs of
damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. A damaged
appliance may 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.
~For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
~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
11

~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. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– the mains fuse is disconnected, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is
applicable), or
– it is switched off at the isolator, or it is switched off at the wall
socket and the plug is withdrawn from the socket.
~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.
~The hob is not intended for use with an external timer switch or a
remote control system.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~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 if it is faulty, or if the ceramic surface is
cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Switch it off immediately,
and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply and the gas
supply. Call the Service Department.
~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 being 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

~Do not flambé under a cooker hood. The flames could set the
cooker hood on fire.
~For added protection, it is advisable to use heat-resistant pot
holders or gloves when using the 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 drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a light object
could cause damage in certain circumstances.
~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 hob with, e. g. with a hob cover, a cloth or
protective foil. This could present a fire hazard if the appliance is
switched on by mistake or if the hob is still warm.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
14

~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 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.
~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 a gas hob results in the build-up of heat, moisture and
combustion products in the room in which it is installed. To ensure
that there is adequate ventilation, especially when the appliance is
in use: make sure natural ventilation to the room is not hindered or
use a mechanical ventilation device (e.g. a cooker hood).
~Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may result in a
requirement for additional ventilation, e.g. opening a window or a
more effective form of mechanical ventilation, e.g. use of a cooker
hood on a higher 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
15

~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.
~If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may
only be used with the furniture door open.
Do not close the door whilst the hob is in use or whilst there is any
residual heat left in the appliance.
~If the appliance has not been used for a longer 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 transport and protective packing
has been 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. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags, etc are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often 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. If
handled or disposed of incorrectly they
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
Please do not dispose of it with
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.
