Overheating Protection - Miele KM 6388 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 turns off automati‐
cally.  flashes in the timer display
alternating with .
You can use the cooking zones again
as usual when the fault message has
gone out.
Cooling elements
– Any booster function in operation will
be turned off.
– The set power level will be reduced.
– The cooking zones turn off automati‐
cally.
The affected cooking zones can only be
used again if the cooling element has
cooled down to a safe level.
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.
