Safety features

Safety lock / System lock

To prevent cooktop and cooking zones from being inadvertently switched on or their settings changed, your appliance is equipped with a safety lock.

The safety lock is activated when the cooktop is switched on. If it is activated, the appliance may only be operated to a limited degree:

The cooking zone power levels and the timer settings cannot be changed.

The cooking zones and the cooktop can only be switched off, and then cannot be switched on again.

The system lock is activated when the cooktop is switched off. If it is activated, the appliance cannot be switched on and the timer cannot be used.

The programming is set so that the system lock has to be activated manually. You can change the settings so that the system lock is activated automatically five minutes after the cooktop is switched off (see "Programming").

If the safety or system lock is activated, the control light comes on when you touch a sensor switch.

Both safety and system locks are deactivated by power outages.

Activation

You can alter the setting from one-finger to three-finger operation to make the operation more difficult for children, for instance (see "Programming").

KM 5987, KM 5993 specifications

Miele, a renowned German manufacturer known for its high-quality home appliances, has taken cooking to the next level with its KM 5987 and KM 5993 induction cooktops. These models are not just about modern aesthetics but are packed with advanced technologies and features, making them ideal for both amateur and professional chefs.

The KM 5987 and KM 5993 induction cooktops are designed with efficiency and precision in mind. Induction technology provides rapid heating and precise temperature control, allowing users to achieve the perfect cooking results. This innovative method heats pots and pans directly through electromagnetic energy, ensuring the cooktop surface remains cool and safe to touch, significantly reducing the risk of burns and ensuring easy clean-up.

One of the standout features of these cooktops is the Power Flex area. This unique design allows for flexible cooking configurations by merging two cooking zones into one larger area, accommodating larger pots or griddles. This versatility is particularly beneficial for preparing meals for family or entertaining guests.

Both models also boast Miele’s SmartSelect feature which intelligently adjusts the cook settings. Users can easily select the desired power level for each cooking zone by simply sliding their finger across the control panel. This intuitive interface enhances the cooking experience, making it easier to monitor and adjust the heat at a glance.

Another remarkable characteristic is the integrated timer function. Each cooking zone can be programmed with its own timer, allowing for synchronized cooking of multiple dishes. Once the time is up, the cooktop automatically switches off, ensuring food is cooked perfectly and preventing overheating.

Safety is also a top priority with the KM 5987 and KM 5993 models. The cooktops come equipped with features such as automatic shut-off, residual heat indicators, and child lock functions, providing peace of mind for households with children.

In terms of design, both models feature a sleek, black glass ceramic surface that not only looks elegant but is also easy to clean. The minimalist design allows these cooktops to blend seamlessly into any kitchen decor.

In summary, the Miele KM 5987 and KM 5993 induction cooktops encapsulate cutting-edge technology, safety, and user-friendly features. Perfect for any cooking enthusiast, these models are designed to enhance culinary creativity while ensuring efficiency and ease of use in the kitchen.
