Miele KM 451 - Manual (Page 17)

Touch controls
This cooktop has electronic touch con-
trols activated by a finger. There is a
separate touch control for each cooking
zone. A tone sounds to indicate that
contact has been made with a touch
control.
Keep the control area clean and do
not rest things on it. The sensors
could mistake an item or dirt for a
finger tip contact, turning the
cooktop on or off automatically (see,
"Safety cut-out feature").
To prevent damage to the electron-
ics never place hot pans on the con-
trol panel.
Turning on the cooktop
The cooktop must be turned on before
any of the zones can be used.
Proceed as follows:
^ Touch the ON / OFF touch control for
the cooktop
s.
A horizontal bar in each of the zone dis-
plays appears and the timer displays
00.
The cooktop is now turned on and the
zones are ready for use. They will not
heat up until a power setting has been
chosen.
If no further entry is made the indicators
will go out after 30 seconds, and the
cooktop turns itself off as a safety mea-
sure. The residual heat indicators (see
"Residual heat indicator") will stay on
until the cooktop has cooled.
