Before using the cooktop

Cleaning the cooktop

Before using for the first time clean the appliance as follows:

^ Wash the gas burner assembly with a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap.

^ Wipe dry and reassemble the parts in the proper order (see “Cleaning and care”).

^ Wipe the cooktop with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight odor the first time your new appliance is heated.

The harmless odor will dissipate after a short time and does not indicate a faulty connection or appliance defect.

10

Using the cooktop

Fast-Ignition-System

The gas cooktops are equipped with a

Fast-Ignition-System which incorporates the following features:

– The control knob can be released once it is turned to the largest flame symbol.

– If the flame goes out during use, e.g. from a draft, the burner will automatically reignite.

If reignition is unsuccessful, the gas supply will automatically be cut (see

"Safety feature").

Auxiliary / Normal / Fast burner

ß Cooktop is turned off

& Highest flame

/ Lowest flame

As a result of the

Fast-Ignition-System, the ignition stays activated for a few seconds, even when the flame is already lit.

Wok burner

– To prevent a gas leak, the

Fast-Ignition-System will click until the safety thermostat is activated.

Turning on and off / Regulating

The control knob is used to light the burner and to regulate the strength of the flame.

ß Cooktop is turned off

* Highest flame: inner and outer burner are both at their highest setting.

& High flame: outer burner is at the lowest setting, inner burner is at the highest setting.

+ Low flame: outer burner is turned off, inner burner is at the highest setting.

/ Lowest flame: outer burner is turned off, inner burner is at the lowest setting.

11

Using the cooktop

Turning on

^ To light a burner press down and turn the corresponding control knob counterclockwise to the largest flame symbol and release the knob. The ignitor will click and ignite the gas.

The ignition process lasts approx.

8 - 10 seconds. The flame should light within 4 seconds. The Fast-Ignition-

System will click a few seconds after the flame is lit to ensure the safety system is activated.

If the burner does not light, repeat the process.

If the burner does not light at the second attempt, turn the control knob to "

ß" and see "Frequently asked questions".

^ Now you can adjust the knob to the desired setting.

Turning off

^ Turn the control knob clockwise to

"

ß".

This stops the flow of gas and turns off the cooktop.

The knob must only be turned left to turn the appliance on and right to turn it off.

If the knob is turned:

- on without pressing it down first,

- clockwise past the 12 o’clock position, or

- counterclockwise past the smallest flame symbol, parts of the cooktop may be damaged. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for these damages.

12

Regulating the wok burner

The inner and outer burners are both controlled by one control knob. There is a stop at the 6 o’clock position that requires you to press the knob down while turning it in order to get from the high flame to the low flame zone.

^ To reduce the flames from a high to low setting, turn the control knob counterclockwise until you feel resistance. Press the knob down to pass the stop, then release the pressure and set the cooktop to the desired setting.

^ To increase the flames from a low to high setting, turn the control knob clockwise until you reach the stop.

Press the knob down to pass the stop, then release the pressure and set the cooktop to the desired setting.

Since the outer portion of the flame is much hotter than the center, the flame should be set so that it does not spread beyond the sides of the pan. Flame tips which extend beyond the sides of the pan are hazardous.

Using the cooktop

13

Using the cooktop

Pan size

– Set the cooktop to a high flame when using a large diameter pan and low flame when using small diameter pans.

Suitable pans

Unlike pans used on an electric cooktop, the bases do not need to be even for good results.

Thick pan bases will give more even results, as hot spots are reduced due to better heat distribution.

Thin pan bases will conduct the heat faster but not as evenly as thick pan bases. Stir the food frequently to prevent burning.

– Generally, wide / shallow pans will heat quicker and cook more evenly than narrow / tall ones.

– Using oversized pans may cause the flames to spread out and damage the surrounding countertop or other countertop appliances. The proper pan size will also improve efficiency.

– Do not use small pans with high flame settings, the flames may climb the sides of the pan.

– Pots with a smaller diameter than the pan support and pots that do not sit securely (without wobbling) are hazardous and should not be used.

Wok burners

You can use a wok on these burners without any additional rings, trivets, etc.

If you wish to use the wok ring, for extra stability, attach it as shown (depending on your grates).

Gas connection

Gas pressure regulator

A pressure regulator that is convertible from natural to LP gas (Propane) or vice versa is included with the appliance.

The included regulator corresponds with the gas type of the cooktop. Verify before installing.

The adjusted pressure is: natural gas - 4" w.c.

LP gas - 10" w.c.

For convenience, an AGA or CGA approved flexible stainless steel gas hose (accordion type) may be used between the gas connection and the regulator. This will allow the appliance to be lifted out of the countertop for cleaning or servicing. Make sure that any drawers, cabinet doors, etc., do not rub on this gas hose.

Do not use any regulator unless it has been supplied by Miele. Doing so may cause a gas leak.

If there is any doubt concerning installation contact the Miele Technical

The cooktop should have been ordered for connection to either natural or LP gas.

If the cooktop is not configured for the proper type of gas connection please contact your Miele Dealer.

If the appliance is to be connected to a type of gas other than it was originally configured for, both the regulator and burners must be converted. A conversion kit is available as an optional accessory from the Miele

Technical Service Department.
