Installation

Safety distance from the wall covering

If a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained between the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures can damage these materials.

If the covering is made of a combustible material (such as wood), the distance between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be a minimum of 2" (50 mm).

For coverings made of non-combustible materials (such as metal, marble, granite or ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be 2" (50 mm) minus the thickness of the covering. For example: thickness of wall covering 9/16" (15 mm)

2" (50 mm) - 9/16" (15 mm) = minimum safety distance 1 3/8" (35 mm).

KM 5820 specifications

The Miele KM 5820 is a high-performance induction cooktop designed for modern kitchens where efficiency and ease of use are paramount. With its sleek appearance and cutting-edge technology, this model is engineered to cater to both amateur cooks and professional chefs alike.

One of the standout features of the Miele KM 5820 is its powerful induction technology. Induction cooking uses electromagnetic energy to heat cookware directly, resulting in quicker cooking times and enhanced energy efficiency. Compared to traditional gas or electric cooking methods, induction delivers precise temperature control, allowing for perfect searing, frying, and simmering. The KM 5820 heats up in seconds and can go from a gentle simmer to a rolling boil with remarkable rapidity, which significantly optimizes meal preparation.

The cooktop boasts a generous cooking area with up to four cooking zones, providing ample space to accommodate multiple pots and pans simultaneously. Each zone features a residual heat indicator, ensuring safety by alerting users when the surface is still hot. The intuitive TouchControls make it easy to adjust settings quickly, while the sleek surface is simple to clean, as spills do not burn onto the cooktop.

Another notable technology featured in the Miele KM 5820 is its Smart Select functionality. This feature allows users to easily select a cooking zone and adjust the power level with a simple swipe across the control panel, making it user-friendly even for those who may be less experienced with high-tech kitchen equipment. Additionally, the cooktop includes a timer function for each cooking zone, enabling precise cooking times without the risk of overcooking.

Safety is also a key consideration in the design of the KM 5820. It includes a lock function that prevents unintended use, along with an automatic shut-off feature that activates after a certain period of non-use or if a zone is accidentally left on.

Overall, the Miele KM 5820 combines innovative technology with elegant design, making it a top choice for anyone looking to elevate their cooking experience. Its commitment to energy efficiency, safety, and ease of use exemplifies Miele's reputation for producing premium kitchen appliances that stand the test of time while delivering exceptional performance.
