,Installation work and repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

... the hob or cooking zones cannot be switched on

Check whether

the pans being used are suitable.

the safety lock is activated.

If necessary, deactivate it (see "Safety lock").

the mains fuse has tripped.

If none of the above is the case, then disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply for approx. 1 minute. To do this:

This feature is perfect for users who require high-performance cooking and need to boil water for pasta or prepare large meals quickly.

The KM5952, on the other hand, features a sleek design with flush installation options that can integrate seamlessly into any kitchen aesthetic. It offers four induction zones, including one expandable area, making it a versatile option for cooks who use various sizes of pots and pans. The PowerFlex technology enhances flexibility by allowing users to combine two zones into a larger cooking area, accommodating larger cookware or griddles.

For those focused on efficiency, the KM5942 and KM5945 models incorporate smart cooking technology, such as automatic power adjustment and residual heat indicators that enhance safety. These models come with three induction zones and feature a timer function that allows for precise cooking times, reducing the risk of overcooking.

Lastly, the KM5954 model features a sleek design with a sophisticated touch control interface, enabling users to adjust temperatures and settings with ease. This model maintains all the advanced safety features found in Miele's induction line, ensuring peace of mind while cooking.

All of these models are easy to clean, with smooth glass surfaces that resist stains and spills, contributing to the overall convenience of cooking and maintenance.
