ExtraSpeed
Miele electric HiLight cooktops with ExtraSpeed are among the
fastest electric cooktops in the world. Thanks to innovative
technology and a 3-component system exclusive to Miele, up to
35% savings in heat-up time can be made with Miele’s
ExtraSpeed rings compared to 15 year old electric cooktops. This
is achieved through intelligent tacting of heater elements, a higher
heater rating and efficient temperature control.
Flexible cooking zones
Miele cooktops have cooking zones in various shapes and sizes,
allowing you to make use of different sized pots and pans. Many
cooktops also have extended cooking zones.
Keep warm function
This function allows you to keep food warm, irrespective
of the quantity. Intelligent monitoring of the temperature
in the pan base ensures that food is kept at serving
temperature without burning to the pan base. This allows you to
focus fully on the preparation of other food.
Overheating protection and fault monitoring
Each cooking zone is equipped with overheating protection. This
switches the cooking zone off in the event of extreme heat to
protect the ceramic glass and other components from
overheating. The cooktop also switches off automatically in the
event of a spillage or items being placed on the controls.
Pan size recognition
The size of the pan is recognised within the graphics on the
ceramic surface and energy is only supplied to this area. This
allows energy to be used highly efficiently.
PowerFlex induction
PowerFlex zones are particularly versatile and flexible and
can easily accommodate different sized pans including large
pasta pans and casserole dishes. These cooktops also offer
incredible heat-up times thanks 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.
Programmable options
The basic cooktop settings can be adapted to suit
personal preferences. For example, the reaction speed
of sensor controls can be changed.
Auto heat-up
The Auto heat-up function uses a high power output setting for
rapid heat-up before turning the power down to continue cooking
at reduced heat. You no longer have to worry about turning the
heat down at the right time to prevent food from burning. This
also saves energy.
Con@ctivity
The innovative Con@ctivity feature allows a rangehood
to communicate with a cooktop. The hood reacts
automatically to the settings on the cooktop and adjusts
the fan power accordingly. Even the rangehood lighting switches
on automatically.
DirectSelection
All cooking zones are controlled via a central numerical
keybank. This feature allows you to select power
settings and times quickly and intuitively. Extremely
convenient: setting the timer is particularly easy.
DirectSelection Plus
This feature allows you to select power settings and
times quickly and intuitively. Each cooking zone has its
own back-lit numerical keybank which is not visible
when the cooktop is switched off, for a discreet and elegant
appearance.
Easy-to-clean ceramic glass
Ceramic glass is particularly easy to clean. Thanks to the smooth
surface, splashes and other soiling are easily and quickly
removed. This is particularly easy on electric cooktops with
induction as the surface remains relatively cool and food rarely
burns on.
EcoGlass
Miele ceramic glass is manufactured without the
addition of arsenic or antimony. The ceramic glass
consists of almost 100% natural substances, thus
protecting the environment.
Efficient and safe
With induction cooking, the heat is only there where you need it:
in the base of the pan. Induction cooking is particularly efficient,
as no heat is lost, and it is also safe because the ceramic glass
stays relatively cool.
Energy efficient
Cooking with a Miele cooktop saves not only time but also
energy. Compared with a cooktop with conventional radiant rings,
a Miele induction cooktop requires up to 30% less energy for
rapid heat-up. Select Miele HiLight cooktops also use energy
efficiently: ExtraSpeed consumes no more energy than
conventional electric cooktops despite a 35% faster heat-up time.
