Booster - Miele KM 499 Operating Instructions Manual

Operation

Booster

The left and centre right cooking zones
are equipped with a booster function,
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.
Engaging the booster also
automatically overrides any Auto
heat-up function set for both centre left
or far 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 10 minutes.
Proceed as follows:
^ Touch the booster sensor B for the
relevant cooking zone.
A P will appear in the display for the
cooking zone.
After 10 minutes, the zone will
automatically revert to the normal
power setting 9 and the P 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 second from left
cooking zone, or from the far right
cooking zone. Whilst the booster is
engaged, these cooking zones will
operate at a maximum setting of 7,
even if a higher power setting, e.g. 8,
has been selected. To indicate that this
is happening, the 8 will flash alternately
with the 7 until the Booster switches off
again.
