IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Protection from damage

Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface of the cooktop.

Although the ceramic glass is shock and scratch resistant, it is not shock or scratch proof.

Do not use pots or pans with bases with pronounced edges or ridges

on the ceramic cooktop. These could permanently scratch or scour the cooktop. See "Selecting cookware" for more information. Grains of salt and sand can also scratch the surface. Make sure that the bases of any pots and pans are clean, free of any fat or oils and are dry.

Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar, pieces of plastic or

aluminium foil to get on the cooking zones when they are hot. If these residues are allowed to cool on the ceramic surface, pitting or cracking could occur. Should sugar, plastic or aluminium fall on to the cooktop, first turn the appliance off, then immediately scrape off the remains with a shielded blade scraper while the surface is still hot. Take care not to burn yourself on the hot surface. Clean the cooktop once it has cooled.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. Steam could

penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.

KM400, KM412 specifications

Miele KM400 and KM412 are advanced induction cooktops that embody Miele's commitment to quality, efficiency, and innovation in kitchen technology. These models are designed to enhance cooking experiences while providing utmost safety and convenience.

One of the standout features of both the KM400 and KM412 is the powerful induction technology. Induction cooking uses electromagnetic energy to directly heat pots and pans, making it faster and more efficient than traditional cooking methods. With rapid heat generation, meals can be prepared in less time, allowing for a more enjoyable cooking experience.

The KM400 model boasts four cooking zones, while the KM412 offers additional flexibility with five cooking zones. Each zone can be adjusted for different power levels, offering precise temperature control. This technology also ensures that the cooktop remains cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns and enhancing safety in the kitchen.

The Miele exclusive Con@ctivity technology further elevates these models, allowing for seamless communication between the cooktop and range hood. When using the cooktop, the connected extractor hood automatically adjusts its power setting based on the level of heat being used, ensuring optimal ventilation and a smoke-free cooking environment.

Another significant characteristic of these cooktops is their intuitive user interface. The touch controls are easy to navigate, offering quick access to various settings and timer functions. The Pot Detection feature identifies the presence of cookware on the cooking zones and activates only those areas, maximizing energy efficiency and ensuring effective cooking.

Cleanup is a breeze with the KM400 and KM412, thanks to their smooth ceramic glass surfaces. Spills can be easily wiped away, and since induction cooktops do not heat the surface, there is less chance of stubborn stains setting in.

Both models are designed with Miele's signature quality and durability in mind, making them a lasting investment for any modern kitchen. The sleek design complements various kitchen aesthetics while offering high performance that meets the demands of any cooking enthusiast.

In summary, the Miele KM400 and KM412 induction cooktops provide powerful performance, advanced safety features, intelligent connectivity, and ease of maintenance, making them ideal choices for anyone looking to elevate their culinary experience.
