Before Using For The First Time; General Notes; Cleaning And Heating Up For The First Time - Miele KM 418 Operating Instructions Manual

General notes

A dash (-) will appear in the display for
the rear cooking zone and a 1 will
appear in the display for the front
cooking zone for a few seconds when
the appliance is first connected to the
power supply or after a power cut. The
hob is ready for use as soon as these
displays disappear.
This appliance operates using the
induction principle. This means that the
cooking zones will only work if they are
covered by a pan with a magnetic base
(see section "Suitable pans").
A light humming or clicking sound may
be audible when the appliance is
switched on. This is quite normal with
induction heat.
Please stick the extra data plate for the
appliance supplied with this
documentation in the space provided in
the "After sales service" section of this
booklet.

Before using for the first time

Cleaning and heating up for
the first time
Before using for the first time clean the
appliance with a damp cloth and then
dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use washing up liquid to
clean the ceramic surface as it can
leave a blue sheen which may be
difficult to remove.
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight
smell when the hob is heated up for the
first time. The smell and any vapours
will dissipate after a short time and do
not indicate a faulty connection or
appliance.
