Induction; How It Works - Miele CERAMIC COOKTOP WITH INDUCTION KM 5753 Operating And Installation Instructions

How it works

An induction coil is located under each
burner. When a burner is switched on,
this coil creates a magnetic field which
impacts directly on the base of the pan
and heats it up. The burner itself is
heated indirectly by the heat given off
by the pan.
Induction burners only work when a
magnetic based pan is placed on it
(see "Cookware").
Induction automatically recognizes the
size of the pan, i.e. heat is only
generated in the area covered by the
base of the pan.
The burner will not work:
– if it is switched on without a pan in
place, or if the pan is unsuitable
(non-magnetic base).
– if the diameter of the pan is too small.
– if the pan is taken off the burner
when it is switched on.
If this happens, ß will flash in the
relevant burner display alternating with
0 or the last selected power level
selected.
If a suitable pan is placed on the burner
within 3 minutes, the ß will go out and
you can continue cooking as normal.
If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed
on the burner, the burner and the
cooktop will switch off automatically
after 3 minutes.
Be careful not to place cutlery or
other metal objects on the cooktop.
When the appliance is switched on,
or when there is residual heat
present, there is the risk of metal
objects heating up quickly.
Beware of burns.
Depending on the material, other
objects left on the cooktop could
also melt or catch fire. Switch the
burners off after use.
