Overheating protection

Cooking zones

Each zone is equipped with overheating protection (internal temperature limiter). This switches off the heating elements in the cooking zone before the ceramic surface overheats.

If the heating element switches on and off even when the highest power level is selected, this indicates that the overheating protection mechanism has triggered.

Once the ceramic surface has cooled down to a safe level, the heating element will automatically switch back on again.

Overheating can be caused by:

–a cooking zone being switched on without a pan on it.

–heating up an empty pan.

–the base of a pan not sitting evenly on the cooking zone.

–the pan not conducting heat properly.

Control panel

The control panel electronic unit is equipped with overheating protection. This switches off the hob automatically before the electronic unit overheats.

The fault code FE37 will appear.

Once the electronic unit has cooled down sufficiently, the fault code will go out and you can use the hob again.

Overheating can occur if several cooking zones are heated at a high power level for a long period of time.

KM5617, KM5600 specifications

The Miele KM 5600 and KM 5617 are innovative induction cooktops that exemplify the brand's commitment to quality and advanced cooking technology, designed to enhance the modern kitchen experience. Both models showcase Miele’s dedication to precision, efficiency, and user convenience, making them excellent choices for home chefs and cooking enthusiasts.

One of the standout features of the KM 5600 and KM 5617 is the induction cooking technology. Induction cooking works by using magnetic fields to directly heat pots and pans, providing rapid and consistent cooking results. This method is not only faster than traditional electric or gas cooking but also offers improved energy efficiency. With the ability to heat up pans in seconds, users can boil water or cook a meal in less time, making it ideal for busy kitchens.

The KM 5600 features a sleek, minimalist design that fits seamlessly into any kitchen aesthetic. It boasts four cooking zones, allowing for multiple dishes to be prepared simultaneously. Each cooking zone is equipped with Miele’s powerful induction technology, which provides precise temperature control. The model also includes a TwinBooster feature, which allows for two cooking zones to combine their power for larger pots or extremely high heat settings, making it perfect for tasks that require an extra energy boost.

Meanwhile, the KM 5617 model offers additional functionalities such as a five-zone configuration, providing even more flexibility for cooking. With features like SensorTouch controls, users can easily adjust temperatures and settings with just a light touch, ensuring a user-friendly cooking experience. The automatic heat-up function is another highlight, enabling rapid preheating to quickly reach boiling temperatures before reverting to the desired cooking level.

Safety is a crucial aspect of both models, with features such as overheating protection and automatic shut-off when no cookware is detected. Moreover, the simple-to-clean surface allows for easy maintenance after cooking, as spills are less likely to burn onto the cooktop.

In conclusion, the Miele KM 5600 and KM 5617 induction cooktops bring together cutting-edge technology and superior craftsmanship. With their combination of efficiency, flexibility, and safety features, these models not only meet but exceed the demands of modern cooking, making them an ideal choice for anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen.
