27 Residual heat indicator Miele cooktops have a three-stage residual heat indicator for each cooking zone, to remind you not to touch the cooking zones when they are still hot, or to put anything heat-sensitive down on them. It also allows you to make more efficient use of residual heat to save energy. Safety and system lock The safety lock prevents power settings being inadvertently changed during cooking. The system lock prevents accidental or unauthorised switching on of the cooktop, by children, for example. This function can be activated when the cooktop is switched off. Pan recognition On electric cooktops with induction: if there is no pan on a zone when the cooktop is switched on, or if the pan is unsuitable, the power supply will not switch on, or will be interrupted. Safety switch-off A maximum operating duration is defined for each power setting. If a cooking zone has been operating on the same power setting for an unusually long time, it will switch itself off automatically. Stop & Go Someone at the door? With the Stop & Go function all cooking zones can be reduced to power level 1 at the touch of a single button, allowing you to leave the cooktop unattended for a short time without something burning or boiling over. When you come back to the cooktop, the previous settings can be restored with another press of the button. Timer The cooktop timer helps to take some of the stress out of cooking. You can, for example, set a duration for a cooking zone, after which it will switch off automatically; or even use the minute minder independently of cooktop functions.
