Your MIELE KM 7678 FR may produce certain noises during operation, which are normal:

Buzzing: On higher power levels, the appliance might buzz. This will decrease or stop when the power level is reduced.

Cracking: If the pan base is made of layers of different materials (e.g., a sandwiched base), it might emit a cracking sound.

Clicking: You might hear a clicking sound from the electronic switches, especially on lower power levels.

Whirring: You might hear a whirring sound when the cooling fan switches on. It activates to protect the electronics during intensive use and may continue to run after the appliance has been switched off.

Suitable pans for the MIELE KM 7678 FR include:

– stainless steel pans with a base that can be magnetised

– enamelled steel pans

– cast iron pans

The base of the pan must be able to distribute heat evenly; a sandwich base made of stainless steel is particularly suitable. The pan base material and its position affect the power of the induction coils and cooking behavior.

Unsuitable pans for the MIELE KM 7678 FR include:

– stainless steel pans with a base which cannot be magnetised

– aluminium or copper pans

– glass, ceramic or earthenware pots and pans

To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on your MIELE KM 7678 FR induction cooktop, hold a magnet to the base of the pan in several different places. If the magnet sticks, the pan is generally suitable.

Round pans: Should preferably have a base diameter from 145 mm up to a maximum of 350 mm. Pans with a base diameter between 100 mm and 145 mm will not be detected in every position on the cooktop.

Oval/Square pans: Must not exceed dimensions of 380 mm x 300 mm.

– Use only pots and pans with smooth bases. Rough bases can scratch the ceramic glass.

– Always lift the cookware to move it. Sliding it can cause scratches.

– Please note that the maximum diameter quoted by manufacturers often refers to the top rim of the pot or pan. The diameter of the base is more important.

– Where possible, use pans with vertically straight sides. If a pan has angular sides, induction also acts on the sides of the pan, which may cause discolouration or peeling of the coating.

– Use a lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss.

– Select a smaller pan when cooking small quantities. A smaller pan uses less energy than a larger pan with very little in it.

– Cook with as little water as possible.

– Once food has come to the boil or the oil in the pan is hot enough for frying, reduce the heat to a lower setting.

– Use a pressure cooker to reduce cooking times.

The MIELE KM 7678 FR is programmed with 9 power levels, which can be extended to 17. The following settings are a guide:

These settings are a guide and may need to be adjusted to suit your pans.

Switching on the cooktop:

Touch the On/Off ① sensor. Further sensor controls will light up.

Positioning cookware:

You can use a maximum of 6 pans at the same time. You can position the pans anywhere on the useable surface. It is recommended to switch the cooktop on first, then place the pans on it for quicker detection.

Setting the power level:

1. Place the pans in the required position on the cooktop. The corresponding numerical keybank lights up.

2. Touch the appropriate number sensor control on the numerical keybank for the power level you want.

– Deactivating: Touch and hold the timer and II/▶ sensors at the same time for 6 seconds. The lock will be deactivated.

The safety switch-off mechanism is triggered automatically if a cooking zone is heated for an unusually long period of time without the setting being changed. The time depends on the power level selected. When triggered, the heat switches off and the residual heat indicator appears. The factory default is safety setting 0, but this can be changed.

* Power levels with a dot are for the extended range.

** Factory default setting.

All induction coils and cooling elements are fitted with an overheating protection mechanism. Before the components get too hot, the protection cuts in:

For Induction coils: Any Booster function is switched off, the power level is reduced, or the heat switches off automatically. `Err` will flash alternately with `044` in the timer display. You can use the area again once the fault message is gone.

For Cooling elements: Any Booster function is switched off, the set power level is reduced, or the heat switches off automatically. The area can be used again once the element has cooled down.

Overheating may be triggered by an empty pan, heating fat or oil at a high power level, or insufficient ventilation to the underside of the cooktop.

You can adapt the cooktop’s programming to your personal needs.
