KM 6520 Electric cooktop with onset controls

Miele hobs have a residual heat indicator for every cooking zone. It reminds you not to touch the cooking zones when they are still hot, or to place any heat-sensitive items on them. Also, it enables you to use the residual heat in order to save energy.

A maximum operating duration is defined for each power stage. If a cooking zone is operated for an unusually long time at the same power level, it switches off automatically. br

The safety lock function prevents inadvertent changes to the chosen power levels during cooking. brThe system lock protects from accidental or unauthorised switching on, by children, for example. This function can be activated when the cooktop is switched off.

Every cooking zone is equipped with overheating protection. This automatically switches off the heating element of the cooking zone in case of extreme use before the ceramic glass or other components can overheat. If liquid or another item gets onto the surface by mistake, the cooktop automatically switches off as well. So you are always protected from unintentional power adjustment.

This Miele automatic setting turns down the heat from its initial power (for fast heating up) to a lower temperature (for further cooking). This way you won't forget to turn down the heat in time, and food will not burn. It also saves energy.

You unintentionally switched off your hob but realise it immediately. If you restart it within 10 seconds, all power levels and time settings you previously selected are still present. Your cooking process continues without interruption.

The hob timer helps to make everyday life in the kitchen more relaxed. For example, depending on model, you can set the duration for your cooking zones separately so that they switch off automatically or you can use the minute minder independently of the cooktop functions.

Is there somebody at the door? With the Stop&Go function all cooking zones can be reduced to power level one with the single touch of a button. In this way the hob can be left unattended for a short period without food overcooking or burning. When you return to the hob, the previously set power levels can be reactivated with another touch of a button.

Basic hob settings can be easily adapted to individual needs. For example, the response speed of the sensors can be changed.
