Touch-sensitive controls keep operation smooth and responsive.M Sense compatibility and intelligent cooking supportThis hob is M Sense compatible, making cooking and frying easier when used with M Sense cookware sets. Preset assistance programmes can be selected directly on the cookware, while synchronisation between the cooktop and cookware means no further adjustments are necessary.M Sense is designed to help prevent burning and boiling over. Even pasta can be cooked with the lid closed without boiling over, helping you achieve more controlled results with less effort.Smart pan detection and professional modeThanks to intelligent container detection, the control panel is only visible when cookware is placed on the hob, maintaining a sleek appearance when not in use. As cookware moves, the display follows it for easy and flexible operation. The size detection function also supports greater energy efficiency.Professional mode lets you divide the cooktop into three zones with different power levels. For example, you can use a high setting for cooking at the front while keeping food warm at a lower setting in the rear. Move the cookware and the power level adjusts automatically.Useful features for day-to-day cookingThe Miele KM8685-2FL Matt Black includes a range of practical functions to support daily use.
