Pan Size Recognition - Miele KM 490 Operating Instructions Manual

Operation

Pan size recognition

With induction heating, heat is only
produced on the surface which is
covered by a pan. The smaller the pan,
the smaller the diameter which is
heated
To make optimum use of the cooking
zones, choose pans with diameters
larger than the inner markings but
smaller than the outer markings. If the
diameter of the pan is smaller than the
inner marking, the induction heating will
not work. The cooking zone will react as
if there is no pan on it (see "Pan
recognition").
This safety feature prevents small
metallic objects (e.g. a teaspoon) being
heated up if they are laid down on a
cooking zone which is switched on.
