Miele KM 418 Cooktop User Manual


 
Booster
The rear cooking zone is 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.
Procedure:
^
Switch the hob on.
^ Press the B sensor.
A P will appear in the display for the
rear 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
pressing the B sensor again,
pressing the - sensor on the rear
cooking zone.
The extra boost of energy is only
available by taking a proportion of
energy away from the front cooking
zone. Whilst the booster is enagaged,
the front cooking zone will operate at a
maximum setting of 7, even if a higher
power setting, e.g. 8, is selected. To
indicate that this is happening, the 8
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 cooking
zones.
Taking a pan off the rear 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.
