26 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.
