Booster - Miele KM 490 Operating Instructions Manual

Operation

Booster

The rear right and front left cooking
zones are equipped with a booster, i. e.
an increase in the power level.
If activated, the cooking zone will
operate on power setting 9 with an
extra boost of power for a period of
10 minutes. This boost is intended for
quickly bringing large quantities of
water to the boil, e.g. when cooking
pasta.
If wished, both boosters can be used at
the same time.
Proceed as follows:
^ Touch the booster sensor B for the
relevant cooking zone.
Power setting 9 will show in the
cooking zone display, and the indicator
lamp for the booster will also light up.
After a period of 10 minutes the zone
will automatically revert to the normal
power setting 9, and the indicator lamp
will go out.
The booster can be cancelled early by
– touching the B sensor again,
– touching the - sensor on the relevant
cooking zone.

The extra boost of energy is only
available by taking a proportion of
energy away from the front right or rear
left cooking zone.
Whilst the booster is engaged the
– front right cooking zone will operate
at a maximum setting of 7,
– rear left cooking zone will operate at
a maximum setting of 8,
even if a higher power setting, e.g. 9, is
selected. To indicate that this is
happening, e.g. with the front right
cooking zone, the 9 will flash alternately
with the 7 until the booster switches off
again.
Engaging the booster also
automatically overrides any Auto
heat-up function set for both left or right
hand cooking zones.
Taking a pan off the zone whilst the
booster is in operation interrupts the
booster. It will resume if a pan is placed
back on the zone within 3 minutes.
