To Miele’s Buying Guide

What type of hob would you like in your kitchen?

Induction – the heat is generated directly in the pan base and only when a suitable pan is placed on the hob.

Electric – The cooking zones are heated by radiant heating elements which glow red below the ceramic glass.

Gas – The pots and pans are heated by an open flame.

Downdraft extractor – a downdraft cooker hood that is integrated into the worktop or the induction hob.

How would you like to operate your hob?

The hob can be installed independently of an oven. This enables you to use the space underneath the hob for drawers or cupboards.

A hob without its own controls must always be combined with a cooker. The hob is operated via controls at the top of the cooker.

SmartLine elements are particularly elegant as they feature a high proportion of ceramic glass. They can be combined with one another, with the SmartLine downdraft extractor and with various induction hobs.

ProLine elements have a very professional look thanks to the high proportion of stainless steel and they can be combined with one another.

What cooking zones do you want to be included on your hob?

Full-surface induction: the entire cooking surface can be used as you wish and pans can be placed anywhere.

Fixed cooking zones: round cooking zones for various pan sizes, extended zones or PowerFlex cooking areas that can be used for both

How wide would you like your hob?

Less than 40 cm

60 cm wide space-saving appliances for up to four pans

75 cm wide appliances for four to six pans

90 cm wide appliances for four to six pans

100 cm wide appliances for up to 5 pans

What design would you like for your hob?

Ceramic glass with all-round stainless-steel frame is protected on all sides by the high-quality frame.

I would like a ceramic hob with stainless-steel trim front and back.

Hobs without a frame can be integrated flush into the worktop or surface-mounted without a frame. Both options are possible for the majority of these hobs.

Ceramic glass with all-round bevelled edges provides a particularly sophisticated look and a spacious glass design.

I would like a ceramic hob with bevel edges on the two opposite sides.

A hob with stainless steel trough is required.

Which additional convenience features are particularly important to you?

SmartSelect White – has the same convenience features as SmartSelect. Thanks to the white display with a particularly strong contrast, it is even easier to read.

SmartSelect - power levels and times can be chosen particularly quickly and intuitively with this function. There is a yellow backlit numerical keybank for each cooking zone.

ComfortSelect – you control all cooking zones and power levels via the central numerical keybank. The additional functions are also easy to use as they are arranged directly above the numerical keybank.

EasySelect controls all cooking zones and power levels via a central numerical keybank. The controls therefore focus on the essential functions.

With rotary controls, you can set power levels and times quickly and intuitively. There is a separate rotary control for each cooking zone, which you can use to select your settings.
