– 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 gassupply. Installation and maintenance of the gas connection mustbe performed by qualified installers, service agencies or gasproviders.

Risk of electric shock!If the rangetop is defective, immediately turn the appliance off anddiscontinue use. Disconnect the range from the gas and power sup-ply and call Miele Service.


10

If the rangetop is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close thedoor while the range is in operation. Heat and moisture can build upbehind the closed door and cause damage to the range, cabinetry,and flooring. Do not close the door until the range has completelycooled down.

Reaching over a hot stovetop to access the cabinets can result inburns. You can reduce the risk of burns by installing a range hoodthat extends at least 4³/₄" (12 cm) past the bottom of the cabinets.


11

Proper use

Do not leave the rangetop unattended when cooking on highpower. 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 applianceunattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catchesfire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water.Turn off the rangetop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitablefire blanket.

Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishingagent or foam fire extinguisher.

Storage in or on the appliance: Flammable materials should not bestored 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 upin the container, causing them to explode. Do not use the rangetopto boil or heat up cans.

If the rangetop is covered, there is a risk that the material of thecover 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 protectivesheet.

When using an electrical appliance, e.g., a hand mixer, near therangetop, 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.


12

The rangetop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some timeafter 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 theappliance, protect your hands by using heat-resistant pot holders oroven mitts. Only use dry pot holders or gloves. Wet or damp textilesconduct heat more effectively and produce steam, which poses aburn 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 catchfire. Do not place unused items on the range for storage!

A range hood installed above the range can become damaged orcatch fire as a result of intense heat. Do not use the gas burnerswithout cookware.

The high temperatures radiated could cause objects near therangetop to catch fire.Do not use the range to heat the room.

Only light the gas burners after all burner parts have been properlyassembled.

If the cookware is too small, it will not sit properly on the burner. Ifthe 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 somay result in damage to the rangetop.

Always use the burner grates supplied with the cooktop. Neverplace cookware directly on the burner.


13

Install the burner grates in an upright position to avoid scratchingthe cooktop.

Remove all grease splatters and other flammable (food) residueson the rangetop. They are a fire hazard.

Do not use pots or pans that are large enough to cover severalburners. The resulting heat buildup can damage the rangetop.

If the rangetop has not been used for a long period of time, besure to thoroughly clean it and have it inspected by an authorizedtechnician before using it again.

The use of the rangetop creates heat, moisture and combustionproducts 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 mechanicalventilation device (e.g. a range hood) can be installed.

Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may require additionalventilation of the room, e.g., by opening a window, or by turning therange hood to a higher setting.

Ask your installer to show you the location of your gas shutoffvalve and fuses or circuit breaker panel in your apartment or home.Be sure that you know how and where to disconnect the gas andpower supply to your rangetop.

Ensure that the igniters are clean and dry to allow the burners toignite and burn properly.

Fire hazard! Loose-fitting or hanging garments can catch fire. Besure to wear appropriately fitting clothing when cooking. Never allowloose clothing or flammable materials to come into contact with theburners while the burners are in use.

When you have finished cooking, make sure that the burners areturned off by checking the position of the knobs.


14

The grates, burner cap, bottom parts of the burner, and any otherparts located near the burner flame, can still be very hot after cook-ing and cause burns. Do not touch these components when usingthe rangetop.

Wind can blow curtains over the rangetop, causing them to catchfire. If the range is installed near a window, do not use long curtains.

Only certain types of glass, ceramic or other enamel cookwarecan 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 theyare used to wipe spilled food off a hot burner. Some cleansers canemit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be carefulwhen cleaning the cooktop.

Operation tips

23

Fire hazard!Do not leave the appliance unat-tended while cooking!

Do not turn the control knobs to theright beyond "Off".

A spark may be generated on all burn-ers when a control knob is turned on.This is normal and does not indicatean appliance defect.

A brief reignition may occur during ac-tivation (clicking 1–2 x), e.g., in case ofa draft.

Automatic re-ignitionYour rangetop is equipped with an auto-matic re-ignition function. If the flamegoes out, e.g. because food hascooked over or there has been an airdraft, the flame is automatically re-ig-nited.

If there has been a power failure,the automatic re-ignition feature willnot work properly.Operate the cooktop only under su-pervision. If the burner has not ig-nited or the flame goes out, turn offthe burner knob.

Before using for the first time

24

Cleaning the rangetop for thefirst time Remove any protective foil and stick-

ers.

Using a soft sponge, clean all remov-able burner parts with a solution ofwarm water and a small amount ofliquid dish soap. Dry the parts thor-oughly after cleaning and reassemblethe burners (see "Cleaning andcare").

Remove the grilling grate and, using asoft sponge, clean it with a solutionof warm water and a small amount ofdishwashing liquid. Dry it thoroughlyafter cleaning.

The griddle plate is oiled for protec-tion against corrosion. Clean the grid-dle plate with a soft sponge, a smallamount of dishwashing liquid, andwarm water, and dry it.

Before first use, wipe down the appli-ance with a damp cloth and dry it.

Metal components are protected by aconditioning agent. Smells and vapormay occur when the appliance is usedfor the first time.

The smell and any vapors do not indi-cate a faulty connection or a defectiveappliance and are not harmful to yourhealth.

Seasoning the griddle plate

You must season the griddle plate be-fore cooking food on it the first time.This process prevents food from stick-ing and protects the surface frommoisture.

Set the griddle plate on "High" for30 minutes.

Turn off the griddle plate after 30 min-utes and let it cool down.

During heating, the griddle plate con-stantly changes color. The discol-oration may become more intensiveover time. The properties of the grid-dle plate, however, are not impaired inthis manner.

Pour 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil thatcan be heated to a high temperaturein the middle of the cooled griddleplate and distribute it with a papertowel, leaving out the corners of theplate.

Do not use too much oil. Excess oilleaves a rubbery substance on theplate that has to be removed.

Remove any excess oil with a papertowel.

Heat the griddle plate on "High" untilit starts to smoke.

Turn off the griddle plate.

When the griddle plate has cooleddown to a safe temperature, wash offthe excess oil.

Repeat the process once the griddleplate has cooled down completely.

Operation of the burners

25

Turning on To ignite a burner, push the appropri-

ate control knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the "High" position. Theignitor "clicks" and ignites the gas.

If the burner fails to light, turn thecontrol knob to the "Off" position. Airthe room or wait at least 1 minute be-fore trying again.

If the second attempt also fails tolight the burner, turn the control knobto the "Off" position and refer to the"Frequently asked questions" section.

Control Knob

Off Gas supply is off:Burner off

High Strongest flame setting:Maximum power of upperand lower flame rings

Simmer Weakest flame setting:Upper flame ring offMinimum power of lowerflame ring

Turning on during a power outage

In case of a power failure, the flamecan be ignited manually.

Press in the burner knob and turn itcounterclockwise to "High."

Light the emerging gas/air mixturewith a match.

Operation of the burners

26

Adjusting the flameThe burners can be variably adjustedbetween the lowest and highest flamesettings.

Because the edges of the flame aremuch hotter than its center, the flametips should stay beneath the bottom ofthe cookware. Flame tips which ex-tend beyond the sides of the cook-ware emit unnecessary heat into theroom and can also damage cookwarehandles, which increases the risk ofinjury.

Adjust the flame so that it never ex-tends up the sides of the cookware.

Visual characteristics gas flames

Turning off

Do not turn the control knob clockwisepast the "Off" position.

Turn the control knob to the right untilit reaches the "Off" position.

This stops the flow of gas, and theflame goes out.

Cookware

27

– Select cookware that fits the size ofthe burner:Large diameter = large burnerSmall diameter = small burner

– Using cookware that is too large cancause the flames to spread out anddamage the surrounding countertopor other appliances. Choosing theright cookware size improves effi-ciency.

– Any cookware that has a diametersmaller than the burner grate orwhich does not rest in a stable posi-tion on the grate (without wobbling) isdangerous and should not be used.

– Unlike cookware that is used on anelectric cooktop, the bottom of cook-ware used on a rangetop does nothave to be flat to deliver effectivecooking performance.

– When purchasing pots and pans,keep in mind that the diameter indi-cated is typically the top diameter,not the bottom diameter.

– All heat-resistant cookware is suitablefor use.

– Cookware with a thick bottom ispreferable, as it distributes heat moreevenly. Cookware with a thin bottommay cause food to overheat in certainspots. To avoid this, stir the food fre-quently.

– Always place cookware on the burnergrate supplied with the rangetop.Never place it directly on the burner.

– Position the cookware on the burnergrate so that it cannot tip. There is al-ways a possibility of a slight tilt, de-spite the proper position.

– Do not use pots or pans that havebottoms with pronounced edges.

Energy saving tips

28

– Whenever possible, keep pots andpans covered while cooking. Doingso will prevent unnecessary heat loss.

– Wide, shallow cookware heats upfaster and is therefore preferable totall, narrow cookware.

– Cook with as little water as possible.

– Reduce the power setting once thewater has come to a boil or the oil/fatis hot enough for frying.

– Use a pressure cooker to reduce thecooking time.

Operation of the grill

29

The grill has a ceramic burner thattransfers intense heat to food, searingthe outside to seal the juices. Full flexi-bility, depending on the food, from"Low" to "High" as power settings.

Assembling the grill

Gas connection

53

Connection to the gas supplymay only be performed by a duly au-thorized technician. This technician isresponsible for proper function at theinstallation site.In Massachusetts, the gas connec-tion may be performed only by a cer-tified gas installer.

The rangetop must be connectedwith its own shut-off valve.The shut-off valve must be accessi-ble and visible, after the opening of acabinet door, if necessary.

The gas connection of the rangetopcan be to natural gas or propane gasaccording to the model.Ask your gas company what kind ofgas is used and compare it with thespecifications on the data plate.

The rangetop is not connected to anexhaust vent.During the setup and connection ofthe rangetop, observe the applicableinstallation conditions, especiallysuitable ventilation measures.

The gas connections must be ar-ranged in such a way that they arenot heated and damaged by the op-eration of the range.In particular, make sure that the gashose lines and connection fittings onthe rangetop do not come into con-tact with hot exhaust gases.

The gas hose and power cord couldbe damaged by hot spots on therangetop.Make sure that the gas hose andpower cord do not come into contactwith hot spots on the rangetop.

Flexible connection lines can bedamaged by incorrect routing.Attach flexible connecting lines insuch a way so that they do not comeinto contact with any moving kitchenparts (e.g., a drawer) and are not ex-posed to mechanical stress.

The rangetop and the shut-off valvemust be disconnected from the gassupply during gas pressure tests.Disconnect the rangetop and theshut-off valve from the gas supplybefore performing a gas pressuretest at a pressure of more than1/2 psi (3.5 kPA). Close the shut-offvalve of the gas supply before per-forming a gas pressure test at apressure of less than or equal to1/2 psi (3.5 kPA).

Incorrectly sealed gas lines can leadto a gas leak and thus to an explo-sion.Seal all gas lines with a suitablethread sealant.

Seal tightness tests on the rangetopmust be performed according tomanufacturer specifications.

Gas connection

54

The gas connection must be made inaccordance with local codes or, inthe absence of local codes, with:National Fuel Gas CodeANSI Z 223.1 / NFPA No. 54 for theUnited States or the current Can /CGA B 149.1 and 2 InstallationCodes of Gas Appliances forCanada.

The gas pressure may not under-shoot or exceed certain values.Make sure that the maximum gaspressure upstream of the gas pres-sure controller does not amount tomore than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPA) for natu-ral and propane gas.Make sure that the minimum gaspressure amounts to a 6" water headin the case of natural gas and a11" (279.4 mm) water head in thecase of propane gas.

The gas connection of the rangetop isdesigned for natural gas or propane gasaccording to the ordered model.
