Selecting cookware

–Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms will also work adequately. Pans with convex bottoms will not cook well.

Energy saving tips

–For the most even and energy efficient cooking, the diameter of the pots/pans should match the diameter of the burners as closely as possible.

–Cast iron, glass or stoneware should not be used because they have poor heat transfer and may scratch the cooktop surface.

–Also unsuitable is plastic or aluminum foil cookware. These melt at high temperatures.

–Copper bottom and aluminum pans may leave a residue on the cooktop in the form of metallic lines. This is normal. These lines can be removed using a non-abrasive ceramic cooktop cleaner or a shielded scraper blade.

Be sure to clean the cooktop after each use. Each time this residue is allowed to melt it becomes harder to remove and may mar the appearance of the cooktop.

Let the cooktop cool before cleaning.

–Use only pots and pans with flat bases. Sharp pot and pan bases scratch the ceramic glass surface.

–Lift the cookware when moving it. In this way you will avoid streaking from friction and scratching.

–Whenever possible, keep pots and pans closed while cooking. This helps keep in the most possible heat.

–Use a small pot for small amounts. A small pot on a small burner needs less energy then a larger partly filled pot on a large burner.

–Use little water when cooking and take care to select a lower energy level as soon as cooking is completed.

–For longer cooking periods, you can switch off the cooking zone 5 to 10 minutes before the total cooking time is completed. The residual heat will continue to cook the food.

KM 5820 specifications

The Miele KM 5820 is a high-performance induction cooktop designed for modern kitchens where efficiency and ease of use are paramount. With its sleek appearance and cutting-edge technology, this model is engineered to cater to both amateur cooks and professional chefs alike.

One of the standout features of the Miele KM 5820 is its powerful induction technology. Induction cooking uses electromagnetic energy to heat cookware directly, resulting in quicker cooking times and enhanced energy efficiency. Compared to traditional gas or electric cooking methods, induction delivers precise temperature control, allowing for perfect searing, frying, and simmering. The KM 5820 heats up in seconds and can go from a gentle simmer to a rolling boil with remarkable rapidity, which significantly optimizes meal preparation.

The cooktop boasts a generous cooking area with up to four cooking zones, providing ample space to accommodate multiple pots and pans simultaneously. Each zone features a residual heat indicator, ensuring safety by alerting users when the surface is still hot. The intuitive TouchControls make it easy to adjust settings quickly, while the sleek surface is simple to clean, as spills do not burn onto the cooktop.

Another notable technology featured in the Miele KM 5820 is its Smart Select functionality. This feature allows users to easily select a cooking zone and adjust the power level with a simple swipe across the control panel, making it user-friendly even for those who may be less experienced with high-tech kitchen equipment. Additionally, the cooktop includes a timer function for each cooking zone, enabling precise cooking times without the risk of overcooking.

Safety is also a key consideration in the design of the KM 5820. It includes a lock function that prevents unintended use, along with an automatic shut-off feature that activates after a certain period of non-use or if a zone is accidentally left on.

Overall, the Miele KM 5820 combines innovative technology with elegant design, making it a top choice for anyone looking to elevate their cooking experience. Its commitment to energy efficiency, safety, and ease of use exemplifies Miele's reputation for producing premium kitchen appliances that stand the test of time while delivering exceptional performance.
