Miele KM8685-2FL 80cm induction hob with FullFlex cooktop offers flexible cooking for up to 6 pans, smart controls and rapid heat-up for busy kitchens.
Intended to be a replacement for the Miele KM7678FL Induction Hob, the Miele KM 8685-2 FL 80cm induction hob with FullFlex cooktop gives you exceptional flexibility, precise control and intelligent cooking support in one sleek design. With space for up to six cooking vessels, smart networking and fast heat-up times, it is designed to make everyday cooking more efficient and more intuitive.
Flexible FullFlex cooking across the whole surface
Enjoy greater freedom with FullFlex induction, which allows the entire cooking surface to be used without fixed cooking zones. Pots, pans and roasting dishes can be placed anywhere on the hob, giving you the flexibility to cook with up to six induction-compatible vessels at once.
The full-area cooking surface measures 740 x 380 mm, with a maximum power output of 2600W and up to 3650W with Booster. This makes the Miele KM8685-2FL ideal for everything from quick weekday meals to more demanding cooking tasks.
Fast, precise control with MultiSlide
Cooking is simple and accurate thanks to six MultiSlide sliders. Each cookware set is controlled by its own slider, while the clear white display helps you view power levels and timer settings at a glance.
The Booster level delivers especially short heat-up times, helping you get started faster when time matters most. Touch-sensitive controls also keep operation smooth and responsive.
M Sense compatibility for smarter cooking
This hob is M Sense compatible, making cooking and frying even 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.
Intelligent pan detection and professional mode
Thanks to intelligent container detection, the control panel is only visible when cookware is placed on the hob, maintaining a sleek and elegant appearance when not in use. As the cookware moves, the display follows it for easy, 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 everyday functions
The Miele KM8685-2FL includes a range of practical features to support day-to-day cooking. Stop & Go reduces all zones to power level 1 at the touch of a button, while Keep Warm helps maintain serving temperature until you are ready.
The Recall function saves your settings for 10 seconds, which is useful if the hob is switched off accidentally. You also benefit from a timer function, automatic shut-off, automatic cooking start, cleaning protection, assistance programmes and the option to adjust individual settings such as sound signals.
Designed with safety in mind
For added peace of mind, this Miele induction hob includes a power lock to help prevent accidental or unauthorised activation. If a cooking zone is used at the same power level for an unusually long time, it switches off automatically, as it does when no pan is detected.
Additional safety features include a residual heat indicator, start-up lock, locking function, integrated cooling fan and overheat protection.
Smart design and installation details
Finished in black ceramic glass, the hob offers a premium look and an easy-to-clean surface. It is suitable for both flush-mounted and standard installation, giving you flexibility to match your kitchen design.
Dimensions are 800mm wide, 51mm high and 520mm deep. Standard cut-out dimensions are 780 x 500mm, while flush-mount cut-out dimensions are 780/804 x 500/524mm. The recessed height with junction box is 51mm.

Frequently Asked Questions About the KM8685-2FL
Is the Miele KM8685-2FL a full-surface induction hob?
Yes. The Miele KM8685-2FL uses a single FullFlex cooking area rather than fixed zones, so you can place induction-compatible cookware across the surface more freely. It is designed to handle up to six cooking vessels at once, which makes it a strong choice for flexible everyday cooking and larger meals.
How many pans can the Miele KM8685-2FL hold at the same time?
This model is designed for up to six pans or other induction-compatible cooking vessels. That gives you plenty of flexibility for batch cooking, family meals and using a mix of pans, saucepans and roasting dishes on the same hob.
What size is the cooking surface on the Miele KM8685-2FL?
The usable full-area cooking surface measures 740 x 380mm. The hob itself is 800mm wide, so it offers a generous cooking area while still fitting a standard 80cm hob space.
Does the Miele KM8685-2FL have fixed cooking zones?
No. The Miele KM8685-2FL is built around one full-area induction zone rather than separate marked cooking zones. This gives you more freedom to position cookware where it suits you, instead of working around fixed ring layouts.

This hob uses Miele MultiSlide controls with six separate sliders. Each cookware set can be adjusted directly, which helps make power changes fast and precise. The white display is also easy to read when checking settings and timers.
Does the Miele KM8685-2FL have a Booster function?
Yes. The Booster setting is there for faster heat-up times when you need to bring pans up to temperature quickly. On the full cooking area, the maximum output is 2600W, rising to 3650W with Booster.
Is the Miele KM8685-2FL compatible with Miele M Sense cookware?

What is Professional mode on the Miele KM8685-2FL?
Professional mode lets you divide the cooktop into three power areas with different heat levels.

This can be very useful when you want to boil, simmer and keep food warm in one continuous cooking flow.
Does the Miele KM8685-2FL have helpful everyday cooking functions?
Yes. This model includes Stop & Go, Keep Warm, a timer, automatic shut-off, automatic cooking start, Recall and cleaning protection.
