IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
Technical safety
 Failure to observe the information contained in the installation in-
structions can lead to serious or fatal injuries for children and adults.
 Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by
a Miele authorized service technician in accordance with national
and local safety regulations and the provided installation instruc-
tions. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for examination,
repair or adjustment. Repairs and other work by unauthorized per-
sons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
 Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so.
Service work may only be performed by a qualified technician.
 A damaged rangetop can be dangerous. Always check for visible
signs of damage. Never use a damaged appliance.
 Reliable and safe operation of the rangetop can only be guaran-
teed if it is connected to the public power supply.
 The electrical safety of the rangetop can only be guaranteed when
it is properly grounded. Compliance with this essential safety re-
quirement is absolutely mandatory. If in any doubt, please have the
building's wiring system inspected by a qualified electrician.
 Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been in-
stalled correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified techni-
cian.
 Do not operate the appliance until it has been properly installed.
 To avoid damaging the rangetop, make sure that the information
(voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the build-
ing's power supply before connecting the appliance.
When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
 Installation and maintenance of the gas connection must be per-
formed by qualified installers, service agencies or gas providers.
 Do not use a power strip or extension cord to connect the range-
top to electricity (risk of fire).
 This appliance must not be installed and operated in non-station-
ary locations (e.g., on a ship).
 Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the rangetop will endanger your safety
and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Do not open the appliance housing under any circumstances.
 Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorized service techni-
cian will void the warranty.
 Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the
safety of the appliance.
 During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the rangetop
must be completely disconnected from the household electricity
supply. The gas supply must be shut off. Ensure that this is the case
by:
– removing the fuse,
– "tripping" the circuit breaker, or
– unplugging the unit. Pull the plug not the cord.
– Shut off the gas supply and disconnect the rangetop from the gas
supply. Installation and maintenance of the gas connection must
be performed by qualified installers, service agencies or gas
providers.
 Risk of electric shock!
If the rangetop is defective, immediately turn the appliance off and
discontinue use. Disconnect the range from the gas and power sup-
ply and call Miele Service.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
 If the rangetop is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the
door while the range is in operation. Heat and moisture can build up
behind the closed door and cause damage to the range, cabinetry,
and flooring. Do not close the door until the range has completely
cooled down.
 Reaching over a hot stovetop to access the cabinets can result in
burns. You can reduce the risk of burns by installing a range hood
that extends at least 4³/₄" (12 cm) past the bottom of the cabinets.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
Proper use
 Do not leave the rangetop unattended when cooking on high
power. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter,
which can ignite on the range.
 Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches
fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water.
Turn off the rangetop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable
fire blanket.
 Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing
agent or foam fire extinguisher.
 Storage in or on the appliance: Flammable materials should not be
stored in an oven or in the vicinity of the rangetop.
 The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire.
Do not flambé under a ventilation hood.
 Never heat empty cookware.
 Do not heat up food in closed containers, as pressure will build up
in the container, causing them to explode. Do not use the rangetop
to boil or heat up cans.
 If the rangetop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the
cover will ignite, explode or if the range is still hot or if turned on in-
advertently. Never cover the range with a board, cloth, or protective
sheet.
 When using an electrical appliance, e.g., a hand mixer, near the
rangetop, make sure that the power cable does not come into con-
tact with the hot range. The cable's insulation could become dam-
aged.
 Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high tem-
peratures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum foil cookware.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
 The rangetop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time
after being turned off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a possi-
bility that it could still be hot.
 You can burn yourself on a hot rangetop. When cooking on the
appliance, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders or
oven mitts. Only use dry pot holders or gloves. Wet or damp textiles
conduct heat more effectively and produce steam, which poses a
burn hazard. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the gas flames.
Do not use oversized cloths, dish towels or other similar materials.
 If the rangetop is accidentally turned on or is still hot, metal ob-
jects on the appliance can heat up. Other items may melt or catch
fire. Do not place unused items on the range for storage!
 A range hood installed above the range can become damaged or
catch fire as a result of intense heat. Do not use the gas burners
without cookware.
 The high temperatures radiated could cause objects near the
rangetop to catch fire.
Do not use the range to heat the room.
 Only light the gas burners after all burner parts have been properly
assembled.
 If the cookware is too small, it will not sit properly on the burner. If
the cookware is too large, heat emitted from the bottom of the cook-
ware may damage the counter, walls with poor heat resistance (e.g.,
paneled walls), or portions of the rangetop.
 Make sure that the burner flames do not extend beyond the bot-
tom of the cookware and rise up its sides.
 Only use cookware with a thick enough bottom. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the rangetop.
 Always use the burner grates supplied with the cooktop. Never
place cookware directly on the burner.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
 Remove all grease splatters and other flammable (food) residues
on the rangetop. They are a fire hazard.
 Install the burner grates in an upright position to avoid scratching
the cooktop.
 Do not use pots or pans that are large enough to cover several
burners. The resulting heat buildup can damage the rangetop.
 If the rangetop has not been used for a long period of time, be
sure to thoroughly clean it and have it inspected by an authorized
technician before using it again.
 The use of the rangetop creates heat, moisture and combustion
products in the room where it is installed. Make sure that the appli-
ance is installed in location with sufficient ventilation. Natural ventila-
tion openings should not be blocked. Alternatively, a mechanical
ventilation device (e.g. a range hood) can be installed.
 Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may require additional
ventilation of the room, e.g., by opening a window, or by turning the
range hood to a higher setting.
 Ask your installer to show you the location of your gas shutoff
valve and fuses or circuit breaker panel in your apartment or home.
Be sure that you know how and where to disconnect the gas and
power supply to your rangetop.
 Ensure that the igniters are clean and dry to allow the burners to
ignite and burn properly.
 Fire hazard! Loose-fitting or hanging garments can catch fire. Be
sure to wear appropriately fitting clothing when cooking. Never allow
loose clothing or flammable materials to come into contact with the
burners while the burners are in use.
 When you have finished cooking, make sure that the burners are
turned off by checking the position of the knobs.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
 The grates, burner cap, bottom parts of the burner, and any other
parts located near the burner flame, can still be very hot after cook-
ing and cause burns. Do not touch these components when using
the rangetop.
 Wind can blow curtains over the rangetop, causing them to catch
fire. If the range is installed near a window, do not use long curtains.
 Only certain types of glass, ceramic or other enamel cookware
can be used on a gas rangetop without breaking as a result of sud-
den temperature changes.
 Do not use cooking utensils on the grill.
 Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if they
are used to wipe spilled food off a hot burner. Some cleansers can
emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be careful
when cleaning the cooktop.
Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance.
Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
