Miele KM 5880 - Manual (Page 29)

Overheat protection
Each burner is equipped with a
temperature limiter. This feature
automatically turns off the heating
element before the glass ceramic
surface becomes too hot.
When the overheat protection is
triggered, the heating element turns on
and off even at the highest power level.
Once the glass ceramic surface has
cooled to a safe temperature the
heating element will automatically turn
back on.
The overheat protection is activated by:
– turning a burner on without putting a
pan on it.
– heating an empty pan.
– a pan with an uneven bottom not
sitting evenly on the burner.
– the pan not conducting heat
properly.
