Overheat protection
All the induction coils and the cooling elements for the
electronics are fitted with overheating protection. Before the
induction coils or cooling elements get too hot, the
overheating protection initiates the following measures:
Induction coils
– If the booster function is being used, this will be switched
off.
– The power level that is set will be reduced.
– The cooking zone switches off automatically.

You can use the cooking zones again as usual when the fault
message has gone out.
Cooling elements
– If the booster function is being used, this will be switched
off.
– The power level that is set will be reduced.
– The cooking zones switch off automatically.
The affected cooking zones can only be used again if the
cooling element has cooled down to a safe level.
Overheating can be caused by:
– heating empty cookware.
– fats or oils being heated at high power settings.
– insufficient ventilation of the underside of the cooktop.
– a hot cooking zone being switched on after a power
outage.
If, despite elimination of the cause, the overheat protection is
triggered again, contact Miele Customer Service.
