Using The Touch Controls - Miele KM 443 Operating Instructions Manual

Using the touch controls

This cooktop is equipped with elec-
tronic touch controls activated by a
light touch of the fingertip.
Only touch one control at a time. If
more than one control is pressed, the
entries will be ignored.
Keep the area around the touch
controls clean at all times. Dirt or
utensils placed on the controls may
activate them.
When cleaning the cooktop, make
sure the cooktop is "Off", and be
careful not to accidentally turn it
"On".
Never place hot pots or pans over
the touch controls, as the underlying
electronics may be damaged.
The cooktop is safe to clean when all
the displays, including the residual heat
indicators are "Off".
Before using for the first time
^ To avoid scratching the ceramic
glass, clean the cooktop before the
first use in order to remove any dust
or fine particles left over from the in-
stallation process (see "Cleaning and
care"). An odor may be noticeable
during the first use of each burner as
the residual moisture left in the heat-
ing element insulation dries out. This
is normal.
