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.

Miele hobs offer cooking zones and burners in different shapes and sizes. This allows you to use pans of every shape and size on the hob. Many hobs offer additional large extended zones.

With induction hobs, if there is no pan on a switched-on cooking zone or the pan is unsuitable, the power supply is interrupted or not started at all.

Miele induction hobs are equipped with a keeping-warm function which keeps food at the perfect serving temperature. In addition, appliances with TempControl allow gentle heating up of cold food, such as stews, without burning or sticking.

Switch-on and switch-off of the coffee machine can be programmed individually and according to your needs. Coffee can be made as soon as you get up as the machine switches on automatically; it also switches off automatically in the evening. To conserve energy, the coffee machine can be switched off completely after it has not been used for some time.

TempControl guarantees consistently perfect cooking results when frying and stir-frying. A simmering setting and three frying settings with ideal temperatures are available for this. Thanks to constantly maintained temperatures there is no need to re-adjust the power settings. Simple operation as well as safety takes precedence – as nothing will burn on.

If crockery has already been placed on one of the cooking zones, the numerical keybank is activated automatically immediately after the hob is switched on. This makes manual activation of the cooking zones unnecessary.

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

When cooking with induction, heat is generated only where it is needed: in the bottom of the pan. Cooking with induction is particularly efficient, as no heat is lost. And it is particularly safe as the ceramic glass remains comparatively cool.

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.

Ceramic glass is very easy to clean. Thanks to the smooth surface, splashes and other soiling are easily and quickly removed. This is particularly easy with induction hobs as the surface remains relatively cool and food rarely burns onto it.

The cooker hood will switch off automatically after 10 hours. This ensures maximum safety even in the event of operating errors.

PowerFlex zones are particularly versatile and flexible. Whether individual cookware, particularly large pasta pans or oven dishes: they can all be used without a problem. The unsurpassed speed is unique, with to a booster output of up to 7.4 kW. It goes without saying that PowerFlex also features Miele's tried-and-tested TwinBooster technology.

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.

With the touch of a finger it is possible to block operation of the hob for 20 seconds. All settings are kept in place. The running time is clearly displayed on the timer. Crockery can be moved and the hob can be cleaned without hindrance and without settings being changed.

With induction hobs, the size of the pan is detected by the cooking zone, and energy is only used in this area. This ensures the most efficient use of energy.

Keep food warm without it burning: The pan base is set to the ideal temperature and monitored intelligently.
