Miele KM8685-2FL Matt Black 80cm induction hob with FullFlex cooktop offers flexible cooking for up to 6 pans, smart controls and rapid heat-up for everyday ease.
The Miele KM8685-2FL Matt Black 80cm induction hob with FullFlex cooktop is designed to replace the Miele KM7897FL Induction Hob, bringing together exceptional flexibility, precise control and intelligent cooking support in one sleek appliance. With space for up to six cooking vessels, smart networking and fast heat-up times, it is built to make everyday cooking more efficient and intuitive.
FullFlex cooking for flexible everyday use
FullFlex induction allows you to use the entire cooking surface without fixed cooking zones. Pots, pans and roasting dishes can be placed anywhere on the hob, giving you the freedom 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-MABL well suited to everything from quick weekday meals to more demanding cooking tasks.
Precise control with MultiSlide
Cooking is simple and accurate thanks to six MultiSlide sliders. Each cookware set has its own slider, while the clear white display makes it easy to check 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 keep operation smooth and responsive.
M Sense compatibility and intelligent cooking support
This 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 mode
Thanks 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 cooking
The Miele KM8685-2FL Matt Black includes a range of practical functions to support daily use. 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.
Safety features built in
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.
Matt black design and installation options
Finished in durable matt 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.
