Miele KM 5993 Safety switch-off, For excessively long operating time, If the sensors are covered

Safety features

Safety switch-off

Your cooktop is equipped with a safety switch-off.

For excessively long operating time

If one of the cooking zones stays on for an unusually long period of time (see Table), and the power settings are not altered, the zone will switch itself off automatically and the corresponding residual heat indication will appear.

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

If the sensors are covered

Your cooktop will switch off automatically if one or more of the sensors remains covered for longer than approximately 10 seconds, for example by finger contact, food boiling over, or by any object laid on top of them.

At the same time an acoustic signal sounds every 30 seconds (for a maximum of 10 minutes), while in the display of the covered sensor switch an F will flash:

￿Clean the control area or remove the obstruction.

This will shut off the acoustic signal and the F goes out.

￿Switch the cooktop back on again using the ON/OFF sensor ￿. You can then resume operation as usual.
