Miele SmartLine Hobs – Modular Induction, Gas & Extraction
Miele SmartLine lets you create a modular cooking area around the way you prefer to cook. Combine Miele SmartLine induction, gas, induction wok and Tepan Yaki elements with integrated downdraft extraction to build a tailored hob layout, with premium black ceramic-glass design and flush-fit or surface-mounted installation options.Why choose Miele SmartLine?
Miele SmartLine is a modular cooking system designed for customers who want greater flexibility than a conventional single hob can provide. Instead of choosing one full-width appliance with a fixed arrangement of cooking zones, individual SmartLine elements can be positioned alongside one another to create a cooking area suited to your preferred methods. The current Miele SmartLine range includes PowerFlex induction, gas burners, a dual wok gas burner, an induction wok, Tepan Yaki cooking and a dedicated downdraft extractor. This makes SmartLine particularly suitable for premium kitchens where cooking appliances are being planned around the cook rather than simply filling a standard hob cut-out. All current Miele SmartLine cooking elements use a narrow modular format of less than 40cm wide, allowing several elements to be combined within one worktop installation. When planning a Miele SmartLine system, consider the cooking methods you use most, the total worktop space available, electrical and gas connections, extraction requirements and whether the elements will be surface-mounted or installed flush with a suitable worktop.Miele SmartLine Induction Hob
The Miele CS 7612 FL SmartLine induction element provides two induction cooking zones with a flexible PowerFlex cooking area. PowerFlex allows the induction zones to work together to accommodate larger cookware, making the element suitable for individual pans as well as roasting dishes and larger cooking vessels. The CS 7612 FL also features TwinBooster, which can provide additional induction power when rapid heating is required. Miele SmartSelect controls allow power levels and cooking times to be selected directly for each cooking zone. The SmartLine induction element can be used on its own or combined with other SmartLine appliances to create a larger modular cooking area.Miele SmartLine Gas Hobs
Miele SmartLine includes gas cooking options for customers who prefer direct flame control or want to combine gas with induction within the same worktop. The Miele CS 7102-1 FL provides two gas burners within a compact modular element, allowing conventional gas cooking to form part of a mixed SmartLine installation. For higher-output cooking, the Miele CS 7101-1 FL features a dedicated dual wok burner. This makes it possible to design a SmartLine setup combining induction for everyday cooking with a powerful gas wok burner for stir-frying, searing and other high-temperature cooking. Using separate modules also means customers do not need to choose exclusively between a conventional gas hob and an induction hob.Miele SmartLine Induction Wok
The Miele CS 7641 FL SmartLine element provides a dedicated induction wok cooking area. Unlike placing a flat-bottomed wok onto a conventional induction zone, the SmartLine induction wok uses a shaped induction area designed specifically around the supplied wok pan. The included pan is designed to maintain a controlled maximum temperature of approximately 250°C, helping prevent excessive overheating. Induction provides rapid heat response while the curved wok design supports the high-temperature cooking and movement associated with traditional wok preparation. This element can be combined with conventional SmartLine induction or gas modules where wok cooking forms an important part of the kitchen setup.Miele SmartLine Tepan Yaki
The Miele CS 7632 FL Tepan Yaki provides a smooth heated cooking surface for preparing food directly on the appliance. Tepan Yaki cooking is particularly suitable for meat, fish, seafood and vegetables, allowing ingredients to be seared and cooked directly on the stainless-steel surface without conventional pans. The Miele SmartLine Tepan Yaki uses induction heating for rapid warm-up and features two separately controlled cooking areas. This allows different temperatures to be used on each side of the appliance, making it possible to cook different foods simultaneously or use one area for cooking and another for keeping food warm. The Tepan Yaki element can be combined with induction, gas and extraction modules as part of a wider Miele SmartLine installation.Miele SmartLine Downdraft Extractor
The Miele CSDA 7001 FL is a dedicated SmartLine downdraft extractor designed to sit alongside the cooking elements. Instead of installing a conventional cooker hood above the hob, cooking vapours are drawn downwards into the extractor at worktop level. This makes the SmartLine extractor particularly useful for kitchen islands and open-plan layouts where maintaining clear sightlines above the cooking area is important. The CSDA 7001 FL can operate using either ducted extraction or recirculation, depending on the installation and accessories selected. It also includes an energy-efficient ECO motor, 10-ply stainless-steel grease filtration and Miele CleanCover for easier access and cleaning.Ducted or Recirculating SmartLine Extraction?
The Miele SmartLine CSDA 7001 FL extractor supports both external extraction and recirculating installation. With ducted extraction, cooking vapours and moisture are filtered and then routed outside the property using suitable ducting. With recirculation, grease and cooking odours are filtered before the cleaned air is returned to the kitchen. Miele offers dedicated flat-ducting and recirculation accessories for the SmartLine extractor, allowing the extraction arrangement to be planned around the kitchen cabinetry and available ventilation routes. The best option depends on the kitchen layout, cabinet design and whether a suitable route to an external wall or roof is available.Designing a Miele SmartLine Cooking Area
The main advantage of Miele SmartLine is the freedom to combine different cooking methods. A relatively simple installation might use one PowerFlex induction element alongside the SmartLine extractor. A more specialised cooking area could combine:- PowerFlex induction for everyday pans
- a dedicated gas wok burner
- Tepan Yaki for direct-surface cooking
- an induction wok for specialist high-temperature cooking
- the SmartLine downdraft extractor
Can Miele SmartLine Be Combined with a Standard Hob?
Yes. Miele specifically designs SmartLine elements so they can be combined with other SmartLine products or used alongside a conventional Miele hob. For example, a larger Miele induction hob could provide the main everyday cooking surface while a SmartLine gas wok, Tepan Yaki or other specialist element is installed alongside it. This allows customers to add a particular cooking method without constructing the entire cooking area exclusively from SmartLine modules. The appliance dimensions and worktop cut-outs should be planned together to achieve a consistent installation.Flush-Fit Miele SmartLine Hobs
Current Miele SmartLine elements support both flush-fit and surface-mounted installation. With flush-fit installation, the ceramic-glass surface sits level with a suitable worktop, creating a streamlined appearance across several adjacent SmartLine elements. Surface-mounted installation positions the appliance slightly above the worktop and can be suitable for a wider range of worktop materials. A flush installation can be particularly effective with SmartLine because several separate modules can visually read as one continuous cooking area. Always check Miele's individual installation drawings before the worktop is manufactured because each combination requires the correct cut-outs and spacing.Miele SmartLine SmartSelect Controls
Selected electric and induction Miele SmartLine elements use SmartSelect controls. SmartSelect provides direct numerical control of power levels and cooking times through the appliance's glass surface. On the SmartLine induction element, individual cooking zones can be controlled separately. The consistent black-glass design and touch controls also help several adjacent SmartLine elements appear visually coordinated despite performing very different cooking functions. Gas SmartLine elements retain physical rotary controls suited to direct flame adjustment.Miele SmartLine PowerFlex & TwinBooster
The Miele CS 7612 FL SmartLine induction element includes both PowerFlex and TwinBooster. PowerFlex allows the two induction zones to form a larger combined cooking area suitable for oversized cookware. TwinBooster can temporarily concentrate additional induction power when faster heating is required. The current CS 7612 FL provides up to 3.65kW of TwinBooster power to its PowerFlex cooking area. This gives a compact SmartLine module much of the flexibility and rapid heating performance associated with larger Miele PowerFlex induction hobs.Miele SmartLine for Kitchen Islands
Miele SmartLine is particularly well suited to kitchen islands because the cooking area can be planned around the available worktop rather than a conventional fixed-width hob. The CSDA 7001 FL downdraft extractor also removes the need for a large overhead island cooker hood. This can preserve clear views across an open-plan room and create a more minimal cooking area. For an island installation, sufficient cabinet space needs to be allowed beneath the worktop for electrical or gas connections, extraction ducting or recirculation components. These requirements should ideally be planned before the kitchen furniture and worktop are manufactured.Miele SmartLine FAQs
