How It Works; Cooking Zones; Noises - Miele KMDA 7476 FR Operating And Installation Instructions

Cooking zones

An induction coil is located under each
cooking zone. The coil creates a
magnetic field that reacts directly with
the base of the pan and heats it up. The
cooking zone itself is heated up
indirectly by the heat given off by the
pan.
An induction cooking zone only works
when a pan with a magnetic base is
placed on it (see "Cookware").
Induction automatically recognises the
size of the pan.
The pan base material and the position
of the pan on the cooking zone affect
the power of the induction coils. This
can affect the cooking behaviour.

Risk of burning due to hot items!
When the cooktop is switched on,
either deliberately or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present,
there is a risk of metal items placed
on the cooktop heating up.
Do not use the cooktop as a resting
place for anything else.
After use, switch the cooktop off with
the  sensor control.

Noises

When using an induction cooking zone,
the following noises can occur in the
pan, depending on what it is made of
and how it has been constructed.
On the higher power settings, the
appliance might buzz. This will decrease
or cease altogether when the power
setting is reduced.
If the pan base is made of layers of
different materials (e.g. in a sandwiched
base), it might emit a cracking sound.
Whistling might occur if linked zones
(see "Operation - Booster") are being
used at the same time, and the pans
also have bases made of layers of
different materials.
You might hear a clicking sound from
the electronic switches, especially on
lower power settings.
You might hear a whirring sound when
the cooling fan switches on. It switches
on to protect the electronics when the
cooktop is being used intensively. The
fan may continue to run after the
cooktop has been switched off.
