The lock function prevents unwanted adjustments to the selected power levels during cooking. The system lock protects from accidental or unauthorised switching on, by children, for example. This function can be activated on a hob that is switched off.

Whenever you want: thanks to the timer function, your Miele coffee machine can be programmed to switch on and off to suit your needs. For example, it can switch itself on so it's ready for breakfast and switch itself off in the evening. The start time for automatic cleaning and descaling can also be set according to your preferences – for more flexibility. The appliance can also switch itself off when not in use for long periods to save energy.

Basic hob settings can be easily adapted to individual needs. For example, the response speed of the sensor controls can be changed.

This Miele automatic setting turns down the heat from its initial power (for fast heating up) to a lower temperature (for further cooking). This way you won't forget to turn down the heat in time, and food will not burn. It also saves energy.

You unintentionally switched off your hob but realise it immediately. If you restart it within 10 seconds, all power levels and time settings you previously selected are still present. Your cooking process continues without interruption.

Miele hobs have a residual heat indicator for every cooking zone. It reminds you not to touch a hot cooking zone or to place any heat-sensitive items on it. It also allows you to make more efficient use of residual heat to save energy.

Every cooking zone is equipped with overheating protection. This automatically switches off the heating element of the cooking zone in case of extreme use before the ceramic glass or other components can overheat. If liquid or another item gets onto the surface by mistake, the hob automatically switches off as well. So you are always protected from an unintentional power adjustment.

A maximum operating duration is defined for each power level. If a cooking zone is operated for an unusually long time at the same power level, it switches off automatically.

Is there somebody at the door? With the Stop&Go function all cooking zones can be reduced to power level one with the single touch of a button. In this way the hob can be left unattended for a short period without food overcooking or burning. When you return to the hob, the previously set power levels can be reactivated with another touch of a button.
