To Test The Power Level - Miele KM 5670 Operating And Installation Instructions

You can test the power level of a
cooking zone as follows. A certain
quantity of water is brought to the boil
in a pan, and the time taken to do this is
measured.
The pan (and lid) must be stainless
steel or enamel. The diameter of the
pan must match the cooking zone, and
be flat-bottomed or slightly concave.

To test the power level

^ Take a note of the diameter and
wattage of the cooking zone to be
tested (see "Guide to the appliance -
Cooking zones").
^ Fill the pan with the quantity of water
given in the table.
^ Place the pan with its lid on the
cooking zone.
^ Switch on the cooking zone at the
highest setting.
^ Note the time it takes for the water to
boil.
The power level for the cooking zone is
fine if the water boils within the time
given in the table.
The time can vary if:
- there is low or excess voltage
- very cold water is used
- an unsuitable pan is used
- the pan is not covered.
