Safety switch-off with an over-long cooking time

If one of the cooking zones is heated for an unusually long period of time (see chart) and the power level is not altered, the hob will switch itself off automatically and the relevant residual heat indicator will light up.

To use the cooking zone again, switch it back on in the usual way.

Safety switch-off if the sensors are covered

Your hob will switch off automatically if one or several of the sensors remain covered for more than about 13 seconds, for example by finger contact, food boiling over, or by an object such as an oven glove or a tea towel.

An F will flash in each of the cooking zone displays. At the same time a tone will sound every 30 seconds (for a maximum of 10 minutes).

￿Clean the control panel or remove the obstruction.

This will turn off the tone and the F will go out. You can now use the hob again.

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.
