Cooktop safety features
Safety shut-off
The safety shut-off is triggered
aut
omatically if a burner is heated for
an unusually long period of time. This
time depends on the power level
selected. If it has been exceeded, the
burner switches off and the residual
heat indicator appears. If you switch
the burner on and off again, it is ready
for operation again.
Overheat protection
All the induction coils and the cooling
eleme
nts for the electronics are
equipped with an overheating
protection mechanism. To prevent the
induction coils and cooling elements
from overheating, the overheating
protection mechanism works on the
affected burner or on the entire cooktop
in the following ways:
– Any booster function in operation will
be switched off.
– The power level that is set will be
r
educed.
– One or more burners switch off
aut
omatically.
Turn the knob of the burners in question
t
o "0." The affected burners can only be
used again if the cooling element has
cooled down to a safe level.
Overheating can be caused by:
– heating empty cookware,
– fats or oils being heated at high
power settings.
– a hot burner being switched on after
a power outage.
If, despite elimination of the cause, the
overhe
at protection is triggered again,
contact Miele Service.
Residual heat indicator
If the switched-off burner is still hot, the
r
esidual heat indicator appears in the
display. It only goes out when the
burners are cool enough to touch.
Pan/Pan-size sensors
The following might be the cause if the
symbol flashes in the burner display:
– no pans present,
– cookware too small,
– unsuitable cookware.
The cookware is not detected and the
burner switches off aut
omatically after
3 minutes.
