IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION

Note to the installer:

Please leave this instruction book with the consumer for the local electrical inspector’s use.

The minimum distances given in these Installation Instructions must be observed in order to ensure safe operation. Failure to do so increases the risk of fire.

The cabinetry and venting hood should be installed first to prevent damage to the appliance.

￿To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surfaces, cabinet storage space above the appliance should be avoided. If cabinet storage is necessary, the risk can be reduced by installing a venting hood to project horizontally a minimum of 5" (127 mm) beyond the front of the cabinets.

￿Make sure that the power cord to the cooktop does not come into contact with the underside of it or any mechanical parts once the cooktop has been installed.

￿The countertop must be bonded with heat resistant (212 °F/100 °C) adhesive to prevent distortion or dissolving.

Any back splashes must be heat-resistant as well.

￿The appliance must not be permanently sealed into the countertop when installed. The sealing strip under the edge of the appliance provides a sufficient seal for the countertop. See "Sealing".

￿The appliance has not been designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for installation in these applications. Please contact the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.

￿The appliance must not be installed over a dishwasher, washer, dryer, refrigerator or freezer. Heat radiated by the appliance may damage them.

￿The appliance must not be installed above an oven not equipped with a cooling fan.

Keep this instruction book in a safe place for reference and pass it on to any future user.

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.
