Safety instructions for installation

Safety distance above an interim shelf

It is not necessary to fit an interim shelf underneath the hob.

If an interim shelf is fitted underneath the hob, a minimum safety distance of 110 mm must be maintained between the top of the worktop and the top of the interim shelf.

A gap of at least 10 mm must be provided between the rear edge of the interim shelf and the back panel of the housing unit to allow the mains cable to be fed through.

If the hob has an external mains connection box, this gap must be at least 30 mm.

Safety distance above the hob

A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the appliance and the cooker hood above it. See the cooker hood manufacturer's operating and installation instructions for details.

If the manufacturer's instructions are not available for the cooker hood, a minimum safety distance of at least

760 mm must be maintained. For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails, wall units etc. a minimum distance of at least 760 mm must be maintained between them and the appliance below.

When two or more appliances are installed together below a cooker hood, e.g. a gas wok and a ceramic hob, which have different safety distances given in the installation instructions, you should select the greater distance of the two.

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.
