Miele KM 443 Operating Instructions Manual page 15

Automatic pre-heat
This feature is separately available for
each burner, allowing it to reach the
desired cooking temperature quickly
without manual intervention. If the auto-
matic pre-heat function is selected, the
burner will heat up using its maximum
power for a pre-set time (see table)
before automatically switching to the
selected cooking temperature.
A dot will appear behind the power set-
ting display when this feature is active.
Length of pre-heating
The length of the pre-heat cycle de-
pends upon the cooking power that is
set. When using Settings 1 - 5, food is
usually placed in the pot before setting
it on the cooktop. To compensate for
the added mass of the food, the pre-
heat time is increased as the cooking
power is increased.
Settings 6 - 8 are generally used for fry-
ing or roasting where the pan needs to
be brought up to temperature before
the food is introduced. For this reason
the pre-heat times are shorter.
