Miele KM 5840

For optimal heat transfer and to prevent scratching, use flat-bottomed cookware made of stainless steel, enameled cast iron, or heavy-gauge aluminum. Avoid using cast iron or stoneware with rough bottoms, as these can damage the ceramic glass surface over time.

The auto heat-up function automatically boosts the cooking zone to its highest power setting for a short period to bring liquids to a boil quickly. Once the pot reaches the desired temperature, it automatically switches back to your pre-selected lower power level to maintain a steady simmer.

Yes, this unit requires a 240-volt electrical connection. Because it is a hardwired appliance, we strongly recommend having a licensed electrician handle the installation to ensure it meets your local building codes and safety standards.

For the glass surface, use a dedicated ceramic cooktop cleaner and a non-abrasive sponge once the unit has fully cooled. The stainless steel frame can be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth and a mild stainless steel cleaner to maintain its finish and prevent water spots.

The cooktop includes residual heat indicators for each zone, which remain illuminated until the surface is cool enough to touch safely. Additionally, the automatic shut-off feature ensures the unit powers down if it is left on for an extended period without adjustment.

The unit measures 30.625 inches in width, so you should verify your specific countertop cutout dimensions before purchasing. It is designed for a proud installation, meaning the stainless steel frame will sit slightly above the countertop surface.
