Important safety instructions

￿Protect your hands when working with a hot appliance - wear oven mitts, and use potholders, etc. Make sure the material is not wet or damp. This would increase the transfer of heat to your skin, and could cause burns.

￿Never flambé food under an exhaust hood. The flames can set fire to the exhaust hood.

￿NEVER use the appliance to heat up closed containers, e.g., canned foods. The increased pressure can cause the containers/cans to explode, and this carries the danger of injury and burns.

￿Choose pots and pans with a smooth bottom only. Rough cookware can scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.

￿Do not use the appliance as a storage surface.

Do NOT use the appliance as a resting place for cutlery or other items made of metal

If the cooktop is on or accidentally switched on or there is residual heat, metallic objects can heat up and cause burns.

Other items may melt or catch fire. Damp lids can become attached to the cooktop by suction.

Always switch the cooking zone(s) off after use.

￿NEVER cover the grill with a cloth or foil stovetop protector. It could be hot enough to set objects on fire.

￿Do not use plastic or aluminum foil or cookware. It can melt at high temperatures. There is also the danger of fire.

￿Never heat dishware when it is empty, unless expressly permitted by the manufacturer. Because induction heating works so quickly, the temperature of the cookware bottom can quickly reach the ignition point of oils and fats.

￿Keep the cooktop clean. Salt, sugar, and grains of sand or dirt (for example, from fresh vegetables) can cause scratches.

￿Never place hot cookware near the control panel. The electronic unit underneath might be damaged.

￿Be careful that no objects or cookware fall onto the glass ceramic surface. Even a light object, such as a salt shaker, can cause cracks and chips in the glass ceramic.

KM 5987, KM 5993 specifications

Miele, a renowned German manufacturer known for its high-quality home appliances, has taken cooking to the next level with its KM 5987 and KM 5993 induction cooktops. These models are not just about modern aesthetics but are packed with advanced technologies and features, making them ideal for both amateur and professional chefs.

The KM 5987 and KM 5993 induction cooktops are designed with efficiency and precision in mind. Induction technology provides rapid heating and precise temperature control, allowing users to achieve the perfect cooking results. This innovative method heats pots and pans directly through electromagnetic energy, ensuring the cooktop surface remains cool and safe to touch, significantly reducing the risk of burns and ensuring easy clean-up.

One of the standout features of these cooktops is the Power Flex area. This unique design allows for flexible cooking configurations by merging two cooking zones into one larger area, accommodating larger pots or griddles. This versatility is particularly beneficial for preparing meals for family or entertaining guests.

This intuitive interface enhances the cooking experience, making it easier to monitor and adjust the heat at a glance.

Another remarkable characteristic is the integrated timer function. Each cooking zone can be programmed with its own timer, allowing for synchronized cooking of multiple dishes. Once the time is up, the cooktop automatically switches off, ensuring food is cooked perfectly and preventing overheating.

Safety is also a top priority with the KM 5987 and KM 5993 models. The cooktops come equipped with features such as automatic shut-off, residual heat indicators, and child lock functions, providing peace of mind for households with children.

In terms of design, both models feature a sleek, black glass ceramic surface that not only looks elegant but is also easy to clean. The minimalist design allows these cooktops to blend seamlessly into any kitchen decor.
