Warning and Safety instructions

￿Do not flambé under a cooker hood. The flames could set the cooker hood on fire.

￿Do not use the appliance as a resting place for anything else. When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of metal objects heating up, with a danger of burning.

Depending on the material, other objects left on the hob could also melt or catch fire.

Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult to dislodge.

Switch the cooking zones off after use.

￿Do not cover the appliance, e.g. with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could be a fire hazard if the appliance is switched on by mistake.

￿Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high temperatures and could catch fire.

￿Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob, as pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode. This could result in injury and scalding or damage.

￿Do not use pots and pans on the ceramic hob with bases with pronounced edges or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans. These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently.

￿Aluminium pans or pans with an aluminium base can cause metallic, shiny marks to appear on the ceramic surface. These marks can be removed using a ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner (see "Cleaning and care").

￿Never heat an empty pan unless the manufacturer of the pan expressly states that you can do so. This could damage the appliance.

￿Keep the hob clean. Grains of salt, sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can cause scratches.

￿Never place hot pans on the area around the controls. The electronic unit underneath could get damaged.

￿Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a light object could cause damage in certain circumstances.

￿To prevent the risk of spillages etc. burning on, remove any soiling as quickly as possible and ensure that pan bases are clean, dry and free of grease.

￿Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot. If this should occur, switch off the appliance, and carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the hob whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scraper blade.

Take care not to burn yourself.

If residues are allowed to cool before being removed, the ceramic surface would be susceptible to pitting or even cracking.

Clean the appliance once it has cooled down.

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.
