Sensor Switches; Switching On - Miele KM 490 Operating Instructions Manual

Sensor switches

This hob is equipped with electronic
sensor switches which react to finger
contact.
To operate a cooking zone, touch the
relevant sensor. Each time you touch a
sensor, an audible tone sounds.
Make sure that you only touch the
sensor you require, and that you
touch the centre of the sensor.
Take care to keep the control area
clean. Do not place anything on the
control area. The sensors may fail to
react or they could mistake the
article or any dirt for a fingertip
contact, thereby activating a
function or even causing the hob to
switch off automatically (see "Safety
switch-off").
Never place hot pans on the
sensors. The electronic unit
underneath could get damaged.

The hob must be switched on before
any of the zones can be used.

A 0 appears in the display for each of

the hob will switch itself off after a few
seconds for safety reasons.

9 by touching the - or + sensor.
