Using the cooktop

Turning on the outer zone

When using large pots or pans, the outer/extended zone can be turned on.

Proceed as follows:

^Turn the knob clockwise past "12" to the n position.

^Turn the knob counterclockwise to the desired setting.

To turn off the outer/extended zone, turn the knob counter clockwise to "0".

Overheating protection

Each cooking zone is equipped with overheating protection (internal temperature limiter). This turns off the heating elements in the cooking zone if the ceramic surface becomes too hot. Once the ceramic has cooled down to a safe level, the heat will automatically turn back on.

The heating elements cycle on and off to maintain a constant temperature.

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.
