Overheating Protection - Miele KM 6112 Operating And Installation Instructions

Overheating protection

All the induction coils and cooling ele‐
ments for the electronics are fitted with
an overheating protection mechanism.
Before the induction coils or cooling el‐
ements get too hot, the overheating
protection mechanism cuts in in one of
the following ways:
Induction coils
– Any booster function in operation will
be switched off.
– The set power level will be reduced.
– The cooking zone will switch off au‐
tomatically. The fault code  will
appear.
You can use the cooking zones again
as usual when the fault code has gone
out.
Cooling elements
– Any booster function in operation will
be turned off.
– The set power level will be reduced.
– The cooking zones switch off auto‐
matically.
The affected cooking zones can only be
used again as usual once the cooling
element has cooled down to a safe lev‐
el.
The overheating protection mechanism
can be triggered by:
– Heating up an empty pan.
– Fat or oil being heated on a high
power level.
– Insufficient ventilation to the under‐
side of the hob.
– A hot cooking zone being switched
on after an interruption to the power
supply.
If, despite removing the cause, the
overheating protection mechanism trig‐
gers again, contact Miele Service.
Control panel
The control panel electronic unit is
equipped with overheating protection.
This switches off the hob automatically
before the electronic unit overheats.
The fault code  will appear if the
control panel overheating protection
mechanism is triggered. You can use
the hob again once the fault code has
gone out.
Heating several cooking zones at a high
power level for a long period of time
can trigger the overheating protection
mechanism.
